    I have been a loyal customer for the past 8 years. David and his employees show profound interest to all of his clients, displaying courtesy with follow up texts, to check in not only on how your vehicle is doing - but yourself as well. Always satisfied with the services provided, and if you have any questions or additional concerns afterwards - they are always welcoming to answer without any hesitation.

    Dave and team took my little Honda seriously!

    See all

    In May, my car was stolen and partially dismantled by the thieves. I was lucky because CHP found…read moreit in Oakland, but it obviously needed some care. Fix-Auto was on my insurance company's list of approved providers, so I took it to them. Ricardo and the whole Team were professional, communicative, kind, and fair. The work needed was more expensive than I thought it would be, but that's just how things are in our overpriced, corporate-run country. The guys did everything they could to make sure ALL the possible damage was covered by my insurance and really went the extra mile. Just this past week, my wife had a very minor incident in a parking lot that popped the front bumper assembly out and caused a very small scuff, and I asked her to take it back to the guys at Fix. Yes, the damage was very minor, but they popped things back in and added some extra backup support and didn't even charge us for it. Thanks, Fix Auto, for your fair and conscientious customer support. You will have my business in the future!

    There are not enough ways to express my gratitude to Ricky and Arthur, and the entire team, for…read moretheir help getting my classic Celica repaired. There were many moving parts to getting what was needed but also going toe to toe with the insurance company to get the funds needed to complete the full front right side repairs. It was a quick turnaround once everything was approved from the insurance. I honestly am truly so pleased with how much Ricky communicated with me and helped facilitate the repairs. Arthur and Ricky did tons of research too on the value of my car due to the classic elements which helped get the insurance to cover the full cost of parts and repairs!!! Everyone at Fix was also very friendly and helpful from the first moment I stepped into the place, with every phone call, and to the final pickup. PHENOMENAL PLACE!!!

    I used Yelp for a few businesses on repair estimates for my dented front bumper cover on my Rav4…read more Did you know that the car's frame is mostly steel or aluminum to protect drivers and passengers, sensors, electronics, etc. but in most cases the outside cover is bendable plastic for aerodynamic reasons? The bad news is that plastic deforms too much from a collision, you can't just massage it back to shape with a hair dryer. Also, who knows if anything else on the car behind the plastic is damaged or out of alignment. California Collision came to the rescue and was able to replace my bumper cover, have it painted, and then recalibration done for the various car sensors to eliminate fault codes. Even minor collisions can cause sensors to be faulty, so don't assume it's a cosmetic thing and try to cut corners and get your vehicle repaired properly. The job took a few hours one day to paint match, then a separate full day to install, recalibrate, and test drive the vehicle to ensure bo more fault codes. George was extremely friendly and transparent with the repair process. He even gave me a tour of his shop and explained the workflow. Its a family business as his son and daughter also work here. He obviously values work-life balance and is closed Friday-Sunday. Body Shops are not cheap but if you need a thorough repair and want things done right, I highly recommend California Collision. If paying out of pocket, use a debit card with a high spend limit to avoid credit card fees.

    If you get into a bad accident, the insurance company will breathlessly insist that you need to…read morehave your vehicle towed to some chain body shop far away...so they can quickly total it and hit you with lowball offers. Don't do that. After I wisely had my car towed home instead, I took a deep breath, talked to my regular mechanic, and he recommend I send it to George at California Collisions. This was a very good choice. George and his staff did the grueling work of haggling with the insurance company, multiple times, over weeks. He also did an excellent job reconstructing my vehicle within the constraints of the insurance coverage. I got my adventure wagon back in good-as-new condition. Customer service and communication were excellent. About 15,000 miles later the rebuild has been tested and proven. Happy to support and rep this business.

They told me the proper fix was a new bumper, which I'm sure is true, but when I explained that my current budget was more in the "please make this stop hanging off the car" range, they worked with me. They were clear that reattaching damaged plastic isn't the same as magically making it new again, but they didn't push me into spending more than I wanted to. They also gave me the usual list of other things my aging Civic could use, but it felt much more like a doctor saying "keep an eye on this" than a mechanic saying "your car will explode by Thursday unless you give me your credit card." That makes me much more likely to actually come back and have those things addressed later. Then I picked up the car and discovered they had CLEANED IT. Not a courtesy wipe-down. My car was gross. They vacuumed it, cleaned the carpets, got grime off the steering wheel, washed the exterior, and somehow made it smell like a vehicle owned by a responsible adult. Bumper looks great, car is cleaner than it has been in a very long time, everyone was friendly, and I left feeling like I got a great deal. Five stars. Would accidentally damage car near them again.

    I went to get a smog here. The Smog Tech's name was "George" (a male Hispanic in his 50's,…read moreheavyset, white mustache, and goatee). As I was waiting for my vehicle, I observed George open my vehicle door and hit a metal stand. As I went to check for any damages, George became incensed and rudely told me to just stand there and watch him to make sure he did not damage my vehicle. I attempted to explain to him that it wasn't anything personal; however, I had the right to check my vehicle for any damages (dents and scratches). George repeated himself and told me to stand behind my car to observe him to make sure he did not incur any damages to my vehicle. I am a customer trying to get a vehicle smog. I agreed to the $88.00 smog; however, I did not agree to being treated so rudely. To make matters worse, he told me to "get out!" And then he told me to "Make like a tree and leave" (wow, that was original). "George" recorded me on his cellphone of my departure. I have done nothing wrong, I understand businesses have the right to refuse service; however, it is perplexing to think that an employee of this business is allowed to treat customers so rudely then tell them to "get out!"? It's OK, I will never patronize this business. It's obvious that "George" has done this to other customers because he doesn't understand basic customer service because of his perceived slight and lack of communication skills. His actions will have a detrimental effect on revenue. I will have my car washed and check my door for any damages. Besides being a bit pricey for a smog check, unfortunately, this business is unprofessional due to an employee named: "George" who thinks it's OK to be rude to customers because he possesses no interpersonal skills of communication.
