This place took good care of my car after two different car crashes. Affordable and they try to get you your car back within a reasonable time frame. I will only be bringing my car here from now on. Thank you Choi! read more

My gawd, auto shops charge an arm and a leg but Choi - God bless his soul - came in SO SO SO reasonably priced. He was able to take my car right away and completed the work within the stated time frame. It looks brand new. I really appreciated his shop's work!! Five stars!!! read more

I am AMAZED at how well they were able to repair my car!! There were multiple dents and deep scrapes on at least 3 panels but it's good as new now! These guys really are artists who are great at their job and clearly take pride in what they do. The price was 1/3 what I was quoted elsewhere. I'll never go anywhere else. Thank you! read more

Auto World Body & Frame - Body Shops Near Me - Oakland, California

Recently purchased a 2012 Mazda CX7, and when we pulled up to grab it...I fell in love with it. For the first time. It became a brand new car. The paint job. Unique and incredible. Body work was outstanding. Had questions about some of the wax/conditioning job, Troy said bring it back in really quick. Then, had the car worked on. Within minutes. Received a nice, new wax job, cleaning and we were back on the road. Without having to turn our pockets inside out. Thank you so much for working with us, being diligent, attentive to the details and most importantly, FLEXIBLE! Also, the best cost for what needed to be done, across a few cities. Great guy, team and services! read more

Troy fixed my 2013 Lexus RX350. the damage was a large dent on the lift gate and shattered rear glass. It only took a few days when he called me over the phone to come and pick up my vehicle. I was so surprised that by the look of the new paint job and dent repair including the newly installed rear glass, it looks like I never had that incident of backing in a parking lot and hit a large tree branch. perfect and new look. Thank you, Troy! Well Done read more

I shopped around to get a small dent fixed on my 2014 Subaru and received some truly ridiculous quotes. Some of the quotes from mobile repair places were higher than the total value of my car. Then my auto mechanic put me in touch with Troy at Auto World. Troy provided a reasonable quote, and the job was done in less than 24 hours. I cannot recommend Auto World highly enough! read more

Troy, the owner of outer world auto shop did an outstanding work on doing the repairs on my 2013 Lexus RX350. I backed in a tree and ruined my lift gate and the rear glass. In just few days, the work is done and you cannot really tell that it was repaired. So perfect. read more

He's the best workd on all my cars highly recommended professional courteous makes you feel welcomed

Owner Choi is so nice and honorable. A man of his word and delivered his best for me. He provided great service and price - I even wonder if he actually made any profit. I'm so thankful to Choi and my friend who referred him. read more

Best service in Oakland Choy is a amazing, for surely will recommend to anyone who is in need of body shop work.

Disappointed with the paint job on my honda. I Choi promised me my car will look good after the second retouch.. i waited a month just for a touch up and he didnt do what i requested and nor they didnt fix the bubbling paint on my front bumper. I even offered to tape up the spots that are flawed. sadly i paid what i got and will not bring my car back due to fail expectations. read more

Auto World Body & Frame - Body Shops Near Me - Oakland, California

I wish I could give this place 1 billion stars. My jeep was broken into 1/27/23 and I called to have towed to dealership. They didn't want to work on it. The gentleman that towed my vehicle texted me after and recommended his friend Choi who owns Auto Body so I had it towed to Choi. End result is Choi only had $277 in labor on the invoice and I know that he put several hours into diagnosing this. The invoice came to $1537 and he knocked it down to $1400 which pretty much took off the labor. When I got there I had $1260 in cash and needed to put the rest on my card.... he took only $1200 and told me to keep the $60 in cash. He may be the only honest and caring mechanic in this country. I will never bring my vehicle to anyone else. read more

I made the mistake of coming to Auto World Body without checking the online reviews. I did so because I left the neighboring auto repair shop (in which I had an amazingly pleasant experience), and the mechanic had mentioned that I should have the hood bracket tended to by an auto body guy. I thought it was an easy, quick task - so why not pull into this neighboring shop? Terrible mistake. I was met by Choi. He was friendly at first. This did not last. His friendliness ended as soon as he realized that I was not going to be a high-revenue customer and I mentioned that I simply wanted my hood tended to. Choi said to come back the following day. So I returned the following day. I left my car as he requested, and went about expensively using Ubers for the rest of the day. Choi had told me to return at 5pm to pickup my repaired car. I arrived back at 5:05pm and my car had not been touched. Choi said he had gotten busy and he had forgot. Fifteen minutes later, he had one of his workers open the hood. Fifteen more minutes later he came to me and said he couldn't fix it. He said it was late in the day and his workers were supposed to go home at 5:00pm. He also said he didn't realize what needed to be done the day before when he looked at it. He then suggested I just leave it unfixed. I would not recommend this auto body shop. read more

See all

We were happy with Choi's work. We asked him to replace the Radiator support case for a Mini. His quote was far less than others and he also completed the job in one day vs 3 days quoted by others. The work was completed as he had promised. I would have no hesitation going back there. Btw my mechanic recommended him to me as he said he is trustworthy and reliable and he has been directing customers to him for years. read more

Great work and great customer service. I appreciate that they were very transparent and kept me in the loop the whole time!

Have had several cars fixed here - most recently a new hood on my Xterra today - and have always been thrilled with Choi and his staff. Fast, honest, great results and super reasonable rates. He even waxed my car this morning without charging or asking! read more

Auto World Body & Frame - Body Shops Near Me - Oakland, California

I paid $1400 to repaint my Miata here. The worst decision ever! After 6 months, Some air bubbles appeared and some of the paint started chipping off in the rear panel and the front bumper. They suck at painting your car!!!!! Don't ever fix your car here!!!!!!!!!! read more

Auto World Body & Frame - The worst auto shop in Oakland - Body Shops Near Me - Oakland, California

I'm always apprehensive when choosing a body shop because there is so much that can go wrong or ending up with shoddy work. My father in law recommended Mr. Choi to me and I trust his advice. From introduction to completed work I couldn't be happier. It was some pretty bad damage, but I didn't have a single complaint in the end. Work was phenomenal. Believe me, you can stop looking around now. read more

Great staff and they did an amazing job fixing my car! It looks brand new again! Very professional and nice, they even gave me a ride home!

Choi fixed-up our rusty/dinged up car nicely. It was a two-day turnaround but we left the car with him for 5 days because we went on vacation. He allowed us to leave the car with him, no problem. I didn't realize (when picking up my car) he only accepts cash or check. Without hesitation, he told me to take the car and come back later (whenever I was ready) with the payment. Choi is soft-spoken, charming, and good at his job. Thank you Choi and Auto World Body & Frame for your service! read more

I am very satisfied with the job they did, my 2015 Corolla looks brand new... I brought the car to fix a dent on the side and the back bumper. I asked for an estimate; the price matched what my insurance deductible was so I didn't go with my insurance, and they promised that the car would be fixed in two days. I dropped off the car early on Monday, and it was ready on Wednesday before 11 am (I requested the car to be ready before noon that day). read more

Choi finished painting my car in two days and the car looks great. He was sixty percent cheaper than other quotes I received, I will refer family and friends and will use him again in the future... read more

I have been here twice now and both times they did not disapoint. The first time I had body damage to on 2011 silverado and they pulled out the dents and matched the paint to make it look like new. The second time I brought my wifes black 2016 Civic with some paint lifted off and scratched in places. Again, they made her care look like new! On top of that I paid less than $600 each visit!! I highly recommend! read more

Parents brought my Lexus GS 350 here to get it fixed $200 cheaper than other businesses and now I can't get the parking brakes to disengage. Lexus says it'll cost me $2700 to get it fixed. So much for saving money. This place works well for base level cars, but don't bring any luxury cars here. read more

Love this place! Choi was very easy and pleasant to work with and stayed within the estimate. There were no hidden fees. They charged $2500-$3000 less than other places and gave my car a thorough wash, wax, dusting and vacuuming. They also completed the job a day ahead of schedule. My car looks brand spanking new. read more

My four-year-old Honda had a number of scrapes and scratches that needed to be repaired and painted, but I wasn't sure if I could afford the work. I talked to Choi and he quoted an extremely fair price. He said if I dropped the car off on Tuesday, it would be ready by Friday. It was actually finished a day early and it looks great -- like brand new! I recommend this shop for its excellent service and turnaround time. read more

Worst shop ever. I brought my car here after an insurance claim. I came back a few days later to check up on my car I see that they threw a bumper on top of my car and I told them that if there are scratches they had to fix it. When I FINALLY got my car. There was new scratches and dents here and there and I told them to fix they "claim" they never touched it. There was areas where they missed painting. WORST PLACE EVER and to even make it worse i can see the wavy lines where they did the bondo. not great work or worth your money. stay away ! read more

Auto World staff worked diligently to fix my bike carrier. Thanks!

A+++++ on my car's touch-up. Fixed my dents and painted the minor dings. 2nd time coming here for car repairs. Affordable price. Bring cash! Pick up time was promised. Can't niss the shop since the name is painted big on the front of the building if you are coming from E 12th St. Also good they have guard dogs too! read more

I have absolutely no complains about this place! Everything ran smooth, took the car in, i was given a reasonable pickup day and it was ready on that day looking like the day i got it from the dealer. The price was super good as well. I can't understand why this plane has been given such low ratings, might be because of the area but let me tell you something, i grew up on the exact same block and never had any problems there, and your car is always brought into the shop at night so you don't have to worry about any thing happening to it. Bottom line is, great price, and great work 5 stars read more

After scratching the bumper of my brand new car I took my vehicle to the shop and they were able to make it look brand new again for only a couple of hundred dollars. The turnaround time was a day.. Excellent service! Excellent workmanship! read more

After you get all your estimates from all the other high priced body shops around, then go by and see the owner Choi here at Auto World. I pretty much guarantee that he will be the cheapest around. Be prepared to leave your car there for a few days. I have a friend that had a $4k estimate from another shop and Choi did all the work for $1,600-....not a bad savings read more

What can I say about this place, I left this place speechless! I usually don't praise other people work, I guess my standards are really high, blame it on my OCD! Anyways, I brought my car to them for an estimate, long story short, my mother was driving my vehicle, she got rear ended, denting my trunk, and scratching my rear bumper. I was able to find a spare trunk for my vehicle but it was a different color. The owner of this place gave me an estimate, I asked him how long it would take (if you are looking for a place with a fast turn around don't look any further this is the spot!) he'd mentioned 2 days, honestly in my cobweb brain of mine, I was like no way! I ain't going to lie, I was a little skeptical, but, I took my changes (hey life is a gamble). Two days passed and got a call from him, I remember nervously driving towards his shop, when I turned on his street, I had an awe moment, like a glistening diamond, okay okay a little exaggeration, my baby (I know I know us men and our cars) looked like when I first saw her at the dealership. I was so amazed that when getting off my car I forgot to unbuckle my seatbelt. Guys!, the work was superb, like nothing has happened, and they even buffed my front headlights for me and painted a few scratches and scuff marks of my front bumper, no extra charge, talk about customer service! Don't hesitate to call this place, best prices in town for sure, you won't regret it, take it from me, a really really satisfied customer! read more

My 2014 Prius had a damaged front bumper. This requires replacement of the whole bumper/front end panel. Choy did a beautiful job for an extremely low cost. The paint is a perfect match and the car looks like new, again! We will ALWAYS go to Auto World for any car body repairs. read more

I reported a claim with my insurance and this was a local shop that allowed me to perform body repair along with paint. I dropped off my car with a estimate repair date of 1 week. I called the shop 6 days later and they said it is not done yet. I wait another week and called again, same answer. I figured something might be going on so I take a visit to the shop in person and inquire about my vehicle. To my surprise, my car was not even touched yet! So I wait another week and finally get the call for pick up (20 days later). I show up and noticed they cleaned my car for me. How nice eh? Well...they ended up making the paint worse. I got it back with swirls all over as if someone used a rough towel to wipe it down. The body work performed was decent but not the best. I an spot 4 dimples on the fender and door skin. The OEM paint matched but needed another clear coat as it was kind of "bland". For a certified AAA auto shop, I expected better. This place is the same as Maaco and Automax quality but cost more $. I highly recommend avoiding this auto shop. read more

had a accident and went there to do body work and paint. Paint started chipping after a year or so. Also they cause some scratches on my front bumper they wasnt there. i notice alter that they just touch up paint it. DONT EVER GO THERE! read more

If you are ever in need of a good mechanic ! Choy and his guys are your go to ! I appreciate your great service and will continue to use your shop for everything read more

I took my 2006 Camry to Auto World on a recommendation from a friend after I was involved in an accident. My friend told me they did good work and it was very inexpensive. I was a little skeptical because inexpensive and quality work don't always go together. I brought my car in and showed them the dent and scrapes on the front of my car and asked for an estimate. I also asked for a seperate estimate for an older accident that I was in that involved my back bumper. I was shocked when they told me that they could repair damages from both accidents for less than my insurance claim for the one recent accident. I had to ask him twice if this was really the case and it was. I was also concern about the paint color matching and they assured me it would be no problem. Well, 4 days later I picked up my car an was amazed at how it looked. It looked like a brand new car. They even did some paint touch ups on the side of the car without even asking and no extra charge! That was 5 months ago. I waited to write this review to see if the paint held up and the new parts stayed in tact and they did. I constantly get compliments on how goog the car looks for a 2006. Thank you Auto World! I will be a repeat customer and recommend my friends. read more

I know this business for its in my neighborhood and I just witnessed these jerks abandon cars around their neighborhood! And if pieces fall off the abadoned cars they just leave it alone on the street! Why would anyone want to do business with someone who will dump YOUR CAR off its residential street area!? read more

We have gone to Troy at Auto World for the last 3 years for both our Nissan Maxima and our Honda minivan. Most recently we had both the front and back bumpers replaced on the minivan. It looks like new! We have always been very pleased with the quality of the work and the reasonableness of the cost. Troy is polite and friendly and gets the work done in the time frame promised. I have no hesitation recommending this body shop and neither did the friend who referred us there. read more
