The best customer service experience on top of top notch work. They took excellent care of me as well as being very transparent in the repair process, in addition to being really easy in reaching out to them. I brought in a SUV with a pearl white metallic paint, which is a 3 stage coat paint, and they dead on match the color. The big scratch that was there just disappeared, as if nothing happened. Will definitely come back here again for repairs, and they work with all insurance companies. read more

Justin has done wonderful body work on my 1997 Rav 4 and my 1997 Acura...he does small jobs as well as big jobs! I will be bringing my Acura in for a little job tomorrow!!! read more

Sonia and her crew were incredibly kind and accommodating. I am from out of town and had a deer damage my car door. She got me in and coordinated a dent repair service to fix my car quickly and perfectly! So grateful for their integrity and assistance! read more

I had an amazing experience with Raymond here. I have never purchased a new car nor have I ever backed into anything - but I did both things in the same month! Who knew I could do so much damage backing up in a tight San Francisco basement garage. Raymond and his team made my car look like new again. He is a master at what he does-closest thing I have seen to magic. He was kind, professional and communicated throughout the process. I highly recommend! read more

Great work! I have trusted my Tesla Model X with Ray and his shop more than once! Could not be happier with the quality of work, on time work and results. I would highly recommend Autobody Express for high end or any type of vehicle read more

Really shoddy work. Bad patch of a small crack, all rough and lumpy, and paint looks like it was put on by a kid in kindergarten.

Really great shop! I hit my coworker's car by accident and scratched the side of her nice ass Lexus pretty bad. The recommendation to use these guys came from my insurance agent, who said they were fair in price, as I was going to pay out of pocket. Both Zack and Raymond were very accommodating. Zack actually drove over from his house to let me park the car after the shop closed. Zack is absolutely adorable so if you are reading this, holler! I'm kidding, sort of. The quote was the same as the first place I took it to, but Raymond said he could cut some corners. By cutting corners I don't mean anything shady -- it was literally a paint job. The car looks awesome and I saved about $400 by not getting the Rolls Royce of paint jobs. Even though I live in Oakland and this place is in Marin, I will probably use them again. I'm a terrible driver so I'm guessing I'll be back in the next 6-12 months. read more

RAYMOND IS AWESOME. He is a perfectionist which shows in his work. Customer service to the fullest! We have been going to him for Years and we highly recommend AutoBody Express!! Thank you Raymond Satoko and Jeff read more

Raymond has taken care of us for years. This time was for my mothers car. He touched up even the smallest scratches on her car. His attention to detail is above and beyond expectations. We are very lucky that we have Raymond to take care of all of our auto body needs for our cars. His customer service is 10 plus. We will always recommend Raymond and Autobody Express ! read more

It's truly a rare occasion when a business exceeds my expectations. Raymond, the owner of AutoBody Express did just that. I have a 2015 Range Rover that had "issues" on almost every panel and lots of front end wear and tear. It was time to make it brand new again. I have gotten three other quotes, and in addition to being much higher in price they all wanted the car for about 5 to 7 days, which means I would be in a rental, increasing the cost. Raymond was able to get it done in two days, and went beyond what we had agreed to do. His shop is tucked behind a building, and the main entrance is actually on the street behind, just follow the signs. His shop is large and bright with vintage bicycles and surfboards surrounding the perimeter. I also enjoyed talking with Raymond and finding out all the good work he does in the community and he sounds like an awesome dad too. If you're looking for a stand-up guy who does great work at fair prices, Raymond is your man! read more

I've used Auto Body Express several times over the past few years. I no longer work in Marin, so it's a bit of a drive to get there, but totally worth it. They sort of fly under the radar, but you can see from the types of cars that are brought in that this shop is highly regarded among auto aficionados. Workmanship has always been good and usually done very quickly. I like this shop and will keep coming back. read more

Ray does great work, but beyond that , this guy has integrity, which can be a rare trait these days. I would recommend Autobody express to anyone in need of a fair , honest body shop that also does excellent work! read more

This is the place to go if you care about quality, all of the repairs that i have had fixed saved me a ton of money and made my vehicles look new again, its magic the kind of work he does, thanks Ray your the best !! read more

These guys only work on one or two car's at a time taking their time and pride in their work. Unlike the extremely large mainstream auto body shops pumping cars out as fast as they can; not paying attention to detail. They will take care of anything you need. Raymond is one of the best auto body mechanics in San Rafael and takes pride on everything he works on. And makes sure all of his customers are satisfied before they leave w/ with their car done. He tells you how it is. No bull-Sh*t. I would never bring my car to anyone else. Oh and my father owned an auto-body shop in San Rafael for over 50 years and is now retired. I know almost every auto-body shop in San Rafael. Auto Body Express is your best bet and Raymond will beat any price quote you get anywhere else. He is perfect for reasonable cash deals without insurance or they can work w/ any insurance company. Just tell your insurance you want to take your car here no matter what. They have to listen to you. read more

I can't say enough good things about this shop. They are honest, fair, reliable and efficient not to mention the quality of the work is outstanding. I obtained several estimates before choosing this shop and could not be any happier. My experience with their service was seamless. Not only did they repair my car but they also polished out other scratches around my car as an added bonus. Highly recommend this place. read more

Very professional and honest. I am most impressed with everything about this shop. The owner is very personable and truthful and does not mince words. They made my work with the insurance company super easy. I will tell my friends about this shop. read more

This is simply The Best body shop anyone could find! Ever! Raymond and Zak provide superb, quick, beautiful, professional service. An insurance claim? No problem. Raymond has dealt with them all!. Need to hire a car? Done! And should you want to go back for a custom designed paint job for your car, surf board, skate board? This is where you need to go! Never been happier than finding this place. So easy to find and access too. Could not be more happy! read more

RAYMOND IS AWESOME! I had a minor car accident in a supermarket parking lot and needed my bumper replaced. A friend of mine recommended Raymond to me. He was honest and kind and did great work. And talk about customer service! Right after I made an appointment to go in, I injured my shoulder. I called to cancel because it was difficult for me to drive. Raymond told me not to worry, picked the car up at my home, and returned it the same day--repaired perfectly, like new! Thank you Raymond! read more

Raymond is one of the kindest and most charismatic car repairmen in the business. He makes your car look brand new and he does it with a smile. Thank you, Raymond, for providing years of service for our family and definitely make sure to stop by so that you too can be treated like family! read more

Raymond is the BEST! on all fronts, business, craftsmanship, honor. All around guy you want to do business with. He has worked on three cars for me. Use him! read more

Great customer service! Raymond was quick to return my call and to get the work done. Oncethe parts arrived, the job was done in less than 24hrs. My car looks like new again - he even cleaned up a few minor scratches! The shop is also conveniently located close to an Enterprise rental shop so it's easy to get a rental if you need one. If I need work done again, I will definitely go back to Raymond! read more

If you need some body work, this is the place. Raymond is awesome. Work is great and reasonably priced. Any problem I have with my car, Raymond is always there AND happy to answer all my questions and directs me to other honest people like him. The absolute BEST!!! read more

Autobody Express is the only place I trust to work on my 911. Raymond does amazing, top quality work. He's more than just a "car guy," he's kind and reliable, and has an incredible "eye" for detail. Highly recommend. :) read more

I backed my Mercedes C350 into a rack of bikes that left a nice-sized dinger on the trunk. I got estimates from 4 auto body shops (all came highly recommended), each of which said it was a bad dent. 3 estimates were about the same at @ $950, and 1 came in at $3100 (Anthony's Auto Craft). Raymond of Autobody Express actually sent me off with the name of another guy, who does remote dent repairs, because he thought I could save money and the guy would do a great job. I tried that avenue, but it didn't work out, so I went back to Raymond. Raymond quoted $940 and the final bill came out lower, at $860. The car looks perfect! I couldn't be happier. Thanks, Raymond! read more

Simply put Raymond is amazing. Extreme attention to detail and great service. You can't go wrong here. read more

Raymond was absolutely wonderful to work with. He made sure all the necessary parts were in stock before bringing the car in, so not to have the car any longer than necessary. He finished the car in lightning speed and repaired the car beautifully. He even touched up areas of small scratches without being asked to do or that he charged for. Truly a lost commodity in today's business world of integrity lost for a job well done. He's delightful to work with and you knew the job would be done perfectly. Thank you Raymond. It was truly a pleasure to have worked with you! read more

We live three counties away from Ray, and I still drive over there when some unfortunate car related event occurs. He's come through again and again since my last review, so kudos to the man for long-term excellence. read more

I was originally referred to Autobody Express by another trusted, long time San Rafael auto repair business. Based on my personal experience, with multiple Marin autobody shops over the last 35 years, Autobody Express is "hands down", without comparison the best and I've gotten similar responses' from the family and friends that I've referred to the shop. Raymond has earned my trust that he will provide the most cost effective repair plan and deliver the highest quality results as well as being a pleasant and accommodating person to do business with. read more

They did a great job on my car, in good time, and even washed it and cleaned the interior! They also fixed a separate problem and only charged me for a bracket. To top it off they made some extra scratches look better with a bit of paint. Very highly recommended! read more

I had been favorably impressed by Raymond and Autobody Express on two previous occasions, but hadn't ended up having the work done (in one case my car was totaled). Finally, I had a need for some actual body work, and I can't recommend them highly enough. Excellent quality work. Also, Raymond successfully fought my insurance company to replace instead of repair one of my car doors. While doing a big job, he'll do other small repairs without charging for them. I don't think you can find anyone better. read more

5 stars: friendly, helpful, cooperative, competent and transparent in what they are doing. I have been there twice so far due to some misfortunes in traffic and though I hope not to need them again, it has been a very pleasant experience. They care a lot about their customers, and every bit they do shows that. read more

I knew when I met Raymond that he was just what I was looking for: an honest person. I'd had 2 other bids, both almost $1,000. Raymond's philosophy is to do the minimal amount of work to make your car look like new. After talking with him I knew he was the right person to use. He repaired several dings & scratches on my Prius & spoiler, even an area I didn't ask him to do, without raising his price (which was about 1/3rd of the other 2 bids). He knows his cars, and with the newer ones being so low to the ground, it's inevitable that you'll need/want more touch-ups & repairs on down the road. It's a great relief to me to have used Raymond, knowing I can keep my car looking like new! The best way to find him is to go north on East Francisco Blvd., corner of Bellam, turn right on Tiburon, then next right on Market. He's the second business on the right. Besides doing a great job, he's a font of knowledge & has a very interesting office! read more
