I just got my car back looking like brand new! I got hit on the passenger side door and fender while driving in a roundabout. My wheel got hit and the impact broke some suspension parts, so I couldn't drive the car away. I learned that night that not many outside of Europe know how to use a roundabout. Thank you to Andre, Nancy, Carlos and the whole crew for doing an amazing job. Not only did I get body work done, but Andre walked me through the whole process of dealing with the insurance companies to make sure everything got done right. They made sure to talk to the reps and adjusters to make sure I got a fair appraisal and that all the information was correct. When all the administrative work was done and it was time to get to the the actual body work, the turnaround was quick and the quality of the work was outstanding. Carlos definitely made sure it came out perfect. Can't say enough about this shop. Thank you!! read more

this body shop is scan dont bring you car to this place.. rude people and over charge insurance...poor quality work...

Hands down one of the best customer service experiences I have ever had. I hit a pot hole the other day and damaged part of my car. I simply called AP Body Shop and Mike asked all the questions to make my experience the best it could be. The speed of getting my car fixed was unreal - done in 2 business days. The part had to be ordered. I was totally relaxed with the repairs because Mike handled everything. Highly recommend. read more

I'm so happy with the final result of our Lexus!! We had an unfortunate situation happen to us where someone hit our car while it was parked on the street. We took it to AP auto body and they were so nice, I felt super comfortable leaving my car there to be fixed. The final results were extraordinary, it literally looked we had just gotten a new car!! read more

Being in an accident is an emotional roller coaster filled with dread, anger, pain, and stress. Firstly, Andre, Carlos and his whole staff were really wonderful. Not only did they have positive, professional attitudes but they also coached me on dealing with the insurance company that was managing my claim. The entire staff alleviated my stress by being consistent, professional and answering every single question I brought their way. They helped me get into a rental vehicle that (although it couldn't replace my beloved vehicle in the shop) got me from place to place with efficiency. They walked me through the entire process. I had $12,000 worth of damage done. It took a reasonable amount of time (6 weeks) to repair, but it wasn't until I took my car to the dealership for an oil change that I realized what an amazing job Andre and his team had done! The dealership couldn't tell that I had been in an accident! Kudos to Andre and his team. I swear by their work!!! read more

AP Body Shop - I am so happy that I found AP BODY SHOP THANK YOU ANDRE NANCY AMANDA CARLOS EDGAR FOR MAKING MY JETTA LOOK BRAND NEW - Body Shops Near Me - North Hollywood, California

Great place, great people. The owners, Andre and Nancy, are both so nice and helpful. Andre personally drove me to the rental spot down the street to pick up my car. The work they did on the my car was top of the line and fast. They even took the water spots off my hood for free. Highly recommend them for any paint and body needs. read more

Grade A High Class work and customer service. Andre and Ralph took great care of me! The apartment complex I live in was painting the exterior walls and some overspray paint covered my crystal clear, extra expense, optional factory paint job... Of course, I was highly irritated as I keep my car spotless, and I keep it waxed. Anyway, AP Body Shop quoted me $175 to professionally clean the paint without scratching it and putting on a fresh coat of wax. I was to get the apartment painting company to pay the bill and return the next day to schedule an appointment. Well, the very next day after I complained to the apartment painting company and they said they would pay for the body shop to take the overspray off, someone wiped the overspray paint off of my car... Again, I was highly irritated as I couldn't believe the very same thing I was trying to avoid (trying to unprofessionally take it off that only creates scratches), some idiot did it on purpose - probably trying to help the situation but just made it even worse by putting a million scratches in the surface of the paint. So, I showed Andre the new problems and he said he'd take care of it under the original quoted price. They did the job the very next day and the car is now back to 100% new. They shined it up, put a new coat of wax on it and even shined the tires for me. To top it off, Andre dropped the price by $35 to $140, but I paid him the originally quoted price anyway because I was impressed by their professionalism and quality of work. If I ever have any issues or want some work done in the future, I'm going to AP Body Shop. Thanks guys! read more

MUST READ! An idiot hit my car while it was parked outside my apartment and did not have the courtesy to leave a note. I was pissed! I have a lease and I don't plan to keep the car at the end of the lease, so I needed my bumper it to be fixed ASAP, My bumper required paint work. I'm not from the area and if anything like this would happen in the past, either my brother or dad would take care of it. So i started searching around expecting this to be a bad experience because i don't know sh*t about cars. I found AP Body Shop. From the moment I stepped in, EVERYONE was very polite and friendly. Carlos took pictures and provided me with a quote and got me setup to start my insurance claim. I just moved a month prior to this incident and I did not have the "Car rent coverage" in my car insurance because I used to live so close to work, that i can literally walk to it. But now I moved farther from work leaving me without a car to drive to it. So I took the bus in order to save up some cash . Once Carlos knew this, he reorganized his agenda and fixed my bumper within 2 DAYS! I am amazed and grateful for his attention. When I picked up my car it looked spotless. Not only did he fix my bumper he cleaned and detailed my car. The car looked AS GOOD or even BETTER as the day i picked it up from the dealer. Carlos didn't just focus on the bumper, he went around and detailed every spec or scratch that the car had by hand painting it. I was soo happy that day, I made a great choice trusting my car to Carlos. I recommend this place HANDS DOWN, i was taken care of with great client service and attention, these guys really go the extra mile. read more

I took my 11 and a half year old PT Cruiser here to be detailed inside and out as it had a lot of paint chipping, scrapes, rust, dings & dents, & inside it was very dirty with stains, faded areas & just overall a sad little old car that I'm selling because I inherited a Honda CR-V. Andre met with me & told me to not put any money into repairing the body damage, which was great to hear & super-honest of him to do so. I scheduled my detailing for a couple of days later, and Andre drove me home (I live 3 miles away) & Nancy picked me up the next day when it was ready. They are fantastic people and did an AMAZING job on my car. The car looks incredible, they smoothed out the dents on the bumper & put matching paint over the scrapes & dings & rusting. And the interior looks almost new again, all for $240. I will definitely be back to have the CR-V detailed, you guys are wonderful!!!!! read more

This is as good as it gets! I know Andre and Nancy through a friend, and I am thankful that I do. I talked with Andre about minor car issues that I was having and he offered me his card. He reccommended that I keep the card on the visor of my car, and that if I ever got into an accitent to call him before making any decisions. Well, I got into that accident and I am glad that I had Andre's card. I always feel like I am capable of making the correct decisions, but after my accitent I felt like I didn't have any controll. I was not sure what to do so I called Andre. Once on the phone it was almost like my mind started working again. Andre coached me through the whole process. He told me to make sure to get the other driver's information, he reminded me to take pictures, and he had a tow truck on the way within minutes. The other driver was even impressed when I told them that the person who was helping me was the owner of my favorite body shop. Andre had my car less than a week and returned it to me in new condition. Throughout the entire process AP Body Shop was aware that they had my only means of transportation and they were as helpful as possible. I am so thankful that I met Andre and Nancy! THANK YOU! A+ read more

Hands down the best service your gonna get from a body shop in LA, period!!!! If your going out to get quotes...forget it. Andre will give you the best quotes possible and top quality service that you don't see at other shops. He's the complete family guy. Andre and his wife work so well together and I am the type of person to purchase from family operated businesses. They really care about their customers and are passionate about what they do. I love these guys. This will be my one-stop-shop for years to come!! read more

I love Andre and his crew. I had someone hit me in the parking lot. I called them up right away. Andre gave me amazing advice on how to make sure I get everything I need paper wise that way I don't lose any money. That was just the consulting phase. The work itself was done to perfection, on time and insurance covered it all no problemo!! I like the fact that they are independent and don't let insurance companies dictate the flow. Muy Importante. read more

I took my 2014 Chevy volt last week to get some much needed body work from an old fender bender. The results were above and beyond my expectations. John ket mevupdated the whole way thru the process and the bill was exactly what they said it would be. Having work done on my vehicle can be a pretty stressful event for me personally. I am so relieved that now, I have a trusted and reliable place to take my baby if anything happens in the future. I reccomend AP Body to anyone who needs to have their car taken in for body work. Well done! Thank you John and Art! read more

Like Andre and Nancy, excellent attitude and service. I've tragically got involved in several accidents in the last year n half , different scenarios. Every time, Andre has been very helpful, from offering to deal with other party's insurance company, to explain every single aspect of the fixing. Taking the car to AP to me, is like taking a car to a friend who knows cars better than myself. Definitely 5 stars: service, price, attitude, and QUALITY. BTW, very safe location, hidden but safe, no traffic at all. read more

Andre and Nancy took great care of my vehicle. Their professionalism and positive attitude gave me great confidence that they would care for my car as if it were their own. They kept me up to date on every step. When my car was returned it looked brand new. They certainly went above and beyond any other auto body shop I have ever been to. I felt as if my car was their priority and that is a great feeling. I couldn't thank them enough. read more

Thank you to Andre, Nancy, Carlos and the AP Body team for making things easy, awesome and personal! This review is long overdue, but they definitely deserve it. PSA: The intersection of Lankershim/Vineland/Camarillo is a multi-headed Medusa nightmare and people don't understand where their lane allows them to go - be careful! I got sideswiped and my driver's door was jammed shut, and Andre walked a very upset me through the process and what to expect from insurance and different insurance companies based on his considerable experience. You can tell that he's an easygoing but smart guy who just genuinely loves cars. The rates were reasonable, Nancy personally drove me to the Enterprise down the street to grab my rental, and they gave me back my car in a few days fixed and clean (inside and out!). Also, they matched the orange paint nicely (yes, my car is orange). Glad to have them in the neighborhood. Thanks, guys!! read more

The best thing I liked about AP Body Shop is their honesty. They were upfront about the timeline and Andre does great work! Makes it look like factory new, or even better in my opinion. I highly recommend Andre & Nancy! They are professional and treated me like family from day one. Our almost new Honda Accord EX got rear ended and they did a great job putting it together and working with my insurance adjusters. They even hook us up with a discounted price on a rental at Enterprise (which is a few blocks away), our insurance covered it all at the discounted rate... but we wanted a nicer rental so we paid a small difference. Ended up getting a new Expedition and only paid $25 more per day. Which is a GOOD deal! read more

Above and beyond service. Everyone is super friendly and helpful. They really care about their customers in a genuine way. The turnaround was fast and they even helped out with the insurance claim weeks after the repairs were finished. It feels great knowing they're in the neighborhood. Excellent people, can't recommend them enough. read more

I've gone here twice over the years for collision repair and I can't say enough good things about this place. Everyone that works here is incredibly nice, friendly and accommodating. They even checked in later to make sure everything was alright. They'll even drop you off where you need to be when your car is in the shop. They're work is good and they work to get you a fair price. read more

As a first time car-buyer, I was pretty devastated when I got into 2 car accidents in less than a year after relocating to LA. I brought my car into AP Body Shop and met with the owner's wife and Carlos. After a short inspection, Carlos the shop manager gave me quotes for the repairs and even provided an extra service to my vehicle despite the fact that I was not yet a customer. I brought my car in after the weekend and dropped it off after that. It took approximately 3 weeks to get my car back after the damage to the front and side was repaired and my car looks like the day I bought it. Carlos truly went above and beyond and I was notified and updated weekly. If you get into an accident and need repairs, I highly recommend AP Body Shop. Speak with Carlos, he will take care of you. read more

Exquisite service, awesome people, excellence incarnate. Andre, the owner, was kind from the start, patiently giving me directions to his shop on the phone. I instantly liked his energy, and when I got there, he gave me a warm welcome, then immediately checked out my car. It had several dings and scratches from inconsiderate drivers banging their doors into my car on both sides, along with general wear and tear on the paint job. Andre thoroughly explained exactly what he needed to do to fix it all, and gave me a good price to do it. He did an incredible job. His work is beautiful. (He is a literal artist!) My car looks like it is brand new. Andre is both honest and honorable. He works very hard on each car, treating it as if it were his own vehicle. He is warm, kind, sincere, and genuine. He makes you feel like family. He will give you excellent advice about how to handle insurance issues of all kinds, including how to best work with drivers who hit your car but ask you to not report it, promising they will pay for it out-of-pocket. (He said to get their name, address, and number--and if they will allow it, photos of their driver's license card--as well as photos of their car license plate, and their insurance card, for starters. You will do the same for them, of course. Andre will do all he can to help you do whatever needs to be done in these matters so you can get the money you are owed!) He is a truly good and decent man and you can tell he loves what he does. I am so happy to have found this place. (Jack from North Hollywood Auto Repair--another excellent business--recommended Andre's shop. I'm so glad he did.) It is rare to find such good people in any business, and he is the real deal. Like him, all of his people are friendly, personable, and helpful. The fabulous work his shop produces speaks for itself. You will feel so proud to drive your car once they are done with it. read more

AP body shop is wonderful! The owners are so willing to help and the workers are on top of things. I went to AP to get my side mirror replaced because I'm an idiot and backed into a fence. Took it in and Andre and Nancy were so helpful in getting all my information and searching for the best option. Ordered the mirror which was suppose to be in 2 days later around 10, but it came in early so one of the workers called me, which I think is awesome that they made an extra effort. They do efficient and beautiful work. Come here of you need any body work done! They are the best!!! read more

AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME! Andre was very kind and helpful when I went in to get my rear bumper fixed! Being it was my first accident Andre guided me through the process. Him and Carlos constantly kept me updated on my car and they were always a phone call away in case I had any questions or concerns. Now as far as the car, they left it 100x better than when I gave it to him! The outside of my car looks brand new, they did an awesome job painting and dealing with the scratches and dents. They did everything possible on my car and it all looks amazing! I am BEYOND happy that I will be returning to his shop in the future for more work (detailing the inside). I can honestly say I have NO WORDS for how happy and pleased I am with Andre and his team. P.S. His work was incredible that it made me want to write my first EVER review. AMAZING AMAZING TEAM!! HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND. read more

No need to go anywhere else if you need any auto body work or have the unfortunate experience of having an accident and needing your car repaired. Andre, Nancy, and Carlos the manager are super cool, friendly, helpful, and most of all HONEST. They go above and beyond what is needed and expected, helped me go through my insurance company so I knew what steps to take, and made me feel at ease with leaving my beloved with them. Also helped get a great deal for my rental car, and referred me to a future auto repair shop that they trust 100%. This is my second time going to them, and I wouldn't look anywhere else. Love this family run business. Whether it's buffing and painting a bumper, or full on repair mode with dents, cracked lights, etc, they have seen and done it all. By the way, my friends go and see them as well, and my friends have thanked ME for referring them :) read more

Not only was my car fixed immaculately after what can be one of the most stressful events you can go through, but I was kept reassured and informed throughout the entire process of having my car put back together. They reassured me as to the safety of my vehicle, and took care of the challenges of interfacing and coordinating with my insurance company to make sure all coverages were applied and taken care of. I hope I don't need to utilize there services for a long time yet, but the next time I have need of a friendly, trustworthy, and perfectly capable mechanic, I know where to go! read more

Highly Recommend AP ! The BEST BEST BEST car people in LA ! Amazing work, great prices, wonderful communication. Thank YOU AP Body.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! I heard about AP through a AAA referral and am so thankful I found this place. My insurance did not cover my accident so Andre went out of his way to hunt down the parts to fix my car in a timely cost efficient way. He literally saved me thousands of dollars and the repair ended up being HALF the price and took HALF the time the other mechanics quoted. They were super easy to get in touch with and even would call to give me updates. Andre and company fixed the steering of my car and got rid of any aesthetic issues so that by the time I got my car it looked brand new! I'm so happy to have my car back and it's all thanks to AP body shop. read more

I just got my car back from AP Body Shop and it looks fabulous! This is the third time I have gone to Andre for body work, twice for my Toyota Corolla and once for my Honda CRV. This time, I was sideswiped on the freeway and the whole driver's side was a mess. Carlos did an amazing job with perfect paint-matching and flawless body work. Nancy was super helpful in dealing with the other driver's insurance company and kept me up to date regularly on the repairs. I didn't have to make any phone calls or be present for the claims adjuster. AP Body Shop is just down the street from an Enterprise Car Rental and a Metro Orange Line station, which is really convenient for picking up and dropping off your car. All in all, this was a great experience and I love the way my car looks now. Highly recommended. read more

My second trip to AP and my second great experience! A 50 ft tree fell across the back of my F-150 and it looked like a broken axle or worse. But when the tree was cleared, the truck was driveable, so I took it into Andre and Carlos and Nancy. They dealt with the insurance company and had my 20-year-old truck back to me in 4 days looking showroom new. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

I had the best experience ever at an Auto Body shop with AP Body Shop even though car issues are my biggest pet peeve!!! First off, I'm already feeling pissy about the car situation since somebody hit my car in my parking lot. I work 12-14 hours a day and have zero time to deal with car insurance companies or body shops. Right from the start Andre and Nancy were fast and thorough. They explained step by step how the entire process would work with my insurance company. They were very patient with me. It took forever for me to get my estimate and another few weeks before I could get my car into the shop. When I went to drop off my car Nancy drove me the 2 blocks to Enterprise Rental Cars. She also went through a check list with me about things to watch for at the rental car company that they would try to get me to buy. She reminded me that since insurance was paying for my rental that I didn't need to buy extra insurance coverage. She also said they needed to give me something comparable to my car that was in the shop (not an economy model). She also asked if it was direct bill through the insurance company or if I would have to put it on my credit card first. She then went over and beyond and walked me into the rental car company and stayed there with me till she made sure everything was okay. Andre found more work that needed to be done than what was estimated through my insurance company. Thankfully, he was the one that had to deal with them and he got them to pay more for the necessary repairs. I also learned that they do exterior auto detailing on your entire car. It was so worth it. I had some little spots of road gunk on my car and they removed all of it. My car literally looks like I just bought it. I hope to God I don't need them again for body repair work (fingers crossed that I don't run into anything) but definitely plan on maintaining my car with the exterior auto detail once a year. read more

I absolutely love this place!!!! Andre and his staff where honest, personable and efficient. I get very hesitant to take my vehicle anywhere because I am a female and most of the time shops try to add extra stuff. Being that I come from a family of mechanics I might not look like I know what is legit. That being said this shop is THE ONLY shop I will be taking my vehicle to have body damage repair. Andre and his crew even spotted some mechanical problems I had not been completely aware of and recommended me to another great resource AAA approved. With all of that I now have two reliable spots to take my car when it might need anything. read more

This is the worst bodyshop I have ever been to.. You can tell just by looking at mess they have .I had my car painted here and after 2 weeks paint was dull, and had a lot imperfections. . I would highly recommend taking you're car to another shop. read more

I've known the owner for years and have always found him to be knowledgeable and honest about what he does. I trust him completely!

I wouldn't trust this place to change my oil!!! I called AP on a Thursday morning trying to get a seat installation done for my Jeep Wrangler. I spoke with Nancy who was very pleasant and requested I bring the Jeep in so they could assess the job. I arrived about thirty minutes later at a small shop located off Chandler. I was greeted by Nancy and introduced to Andre. The two of them were very personable and offered me a "Bad cup of coffee" which we all laughed about. Andre took a look at the seats and quoted me $230.00. He said basically four hours of labor and if the job went over it would come out of his end. Seemed a little steep for the installation but I didn't want to lug the seats back home so I agreed. Andre said he could have the seats done by the end of the day. I told him not to rush, the following day would be fine. I returned the next morning and the seats looked great. I asked Andre about fixing my damaged tailgate and windshield gasket. He convinced me it was a better idea to just replace the windshield since it was so old as oppose to just fixing the gasket. I agreed and told him I would order one and have it sent to his shop for installation. I also left the replacement tailgate at the shop so he could take a look at the part and quote a price for the job. Over the course of the next day I proceeded to order a number of parts which I had sent to AP for installation. I decided to wash my Jeep that afternoon and while at the car wash I noticed the back rear quarter of my Jeep was saturated with white dots. At first I thought it was white paint but thank goodness it was only some kind of bonding compound. The compound came off pretty easily on the metal but took more time to scrub off the soft top, wheels and bumper. I wasn't really pissed but at the same time I thought it was unprofessional. It's like you take your suit to the cleaners to be hemmed. You pick it up and it's got dirt all over it. Obviously my Jeep should have been moved before they started spraying. Or offered to detail the Jeep for free due to their negligence. The following day I had my first passenger and as she was checking out the seats, she noticed the plastic wheel cover was missing off the drivers seat. I looked over and sure enough the cover wasn't installed. The bolt was protruding out and digging a hole in my center console. A little footnote, I spent a year trying to find a mint condition center console that matched my Jeep and I paid $325.00 for it. I moved the console so I could examine more closely and a nice thick chunk had been scraped on the side of it. I went back to AP the next day and asked Andre if they had the cover and showed him the damage. I also showed him the white dots that were still on my wheels and bumper. He said it was some kind of compound and would come off with a power washer. I wanted to tell him I just had it at the wash yesterday and that wasn't exactly true but I let it go. Andre asked some guy about the part and a few minutes later he returned with it. Andre installed the part and as he examined the damage he commented that the console was not bolted in properly and so it was rubbing against the seat. I replied that it was not bolted in because I was still working on the interior, although that had nothing to do with the damage. Had the seat been installed correctly in the first place the damage would not have occurred. At this point Im like Sh## did I get myself involved with. I already had a bunch of parts of the way to this guys shop so I'm pretty invested. Lesson learned there for sure! So I'm thinking maybe this guy will cut me break on the tailgate because of the damage and headache so far. We schedule a meeting at 9:30 Thursday morning to quote the job. Now I work at night so 9:30 is a big deal for me but I make it on time. This Andre guy doesn't even show up. Nancy is there and apologizes for his absence. She's like what can I do to make up for the flakiness? I'm like it's fine just have him call me with a price. Four days go by and finally Ralph, Andre's assistant calls me with a price. He quotes $418.00 to paint, straighten a corner and install a chrome handle I ordered. I drop the Jeep off Thursday morning and I'm told they will need it until Tue. Seems kind of like a long time for a tailgate but I agree just to get it done. Mid way through the job that guy Andre calls and asks if I want him to install my windshield which has arrived? I'm thinking hell no! So what, three weeks after installation it starts to leak. I didn't call back and just waited for the tailgate to be done. Tuesday I call to see if it's ready and I'm told not until after 4:00. So Wed morning I pick the Jeep up. I get to AP and see my Jeep in front and immediately notice the chrome handle is not installed on the tailgate. I go in and ask Ralph why it's not installed. He looks at the tailgate and proceeds to explain to me how he told the guy to do it. I'm like I am done with this place! read more

This place was great. I got in an accident and had my hood and one headlight smashed in. Turned out the core support was snapped and the fender was bent in a weird way. I know this because Andre walked me through everything he needed to do and why it cost what it did. This was great because I knew he wasn't cheating me. I was paying out of pocket so cheap as possible was the key phrase. Andre actually called some parts shops while I was there and found after market replacements that cut some of the costs in half! I had to get a rental for a week and I'm only 22 so that would normally have been expensive but they got me a rental from Enterprise with a big discount and they even waived the under 25 fee! That saved me about $140 alone. They did a great job on the repair and it was a timely fix. It was a bit pricey (aside from the parts they charge about $45/hr for the labor) but worth it because he could have cheated me on some parts that didn't need to be replaced since it was just superficial damage. They even saved my Transformers hood ornament and slapped some tape on there so I could reapply it (a small gesture but made my experience that much better). Highly recommend. read more

These guys are quite simply the best I've encountered. Courteous, professional, fast, great work, excellent price points and a pleasure to do business with. Though I don't hope to have need of a body shop for awhile I wouldn't go anywhere else. read more

I rear ended someone and needed a new front bumper for my Honda Civic. My mechanic at North Hollywood Auto Repair sent me to AP Body Shop. They did such a fantastic job! Not only did Ralph shop around for the least expensive replacement parts, but Nancy is amazing and lent me a car at no additional cost so that I could get to work while my car was being fixed! My car looks so great that my friends can't believe I was even in an accident! read more

Absolutely wonderful experience! Andre and Nancy took care of me from the initial estimate, all the way to walking me through the insurance process. If you want a body shop that will stand up for you, this is the place. Clearly they know what they are doing and they care about making their customer's experience as smooth as possible. If you need your car repaired from an accident or just have a nasty ding in your door, stop in and let them give you an estimate. I highly recommend! Michael Los Angeles, CA read more
