    Streak of sticky residue on my windshield, smeared on the glass when I had to scrub it off.

    I want to begin by recognizing the front desk team--Veronica and Ari--who were consistently kind, welcoming, and communicative. They were the only positive part of my experience at this location. Unfortunately, everything beyond their service fell far below professional standards. My concerns began the moment I arrived. As I pulled into the lot, the employee overseeing my repairs, Al, stood outside staring at me while I parked and gathered my things. However, when I walked inside, he had disappeared, leaving the receptionists to call him repeatedly, even over the loudspeaker, before he finally showed up. From the start, Al came across as a shifty, fast-talking salesperson. During the parking lot inspection, he threw out a rough estimate of around $5,000 and said the total would likely increase once they saw the internal damage. That was understandable, but when I asked why certain items with no visible issues needed to be replaced, he brushed me off without explanation. He also asked about my rental situation, and when I told him my insurance didn't cover it, he promised--very confidently--that he would prioritize my car so I wouldn't have to pay too much out-of-pocket. He told me he'd start ordering the parts that Friday and to drop it off Monday, assuring me it would be done within a few days, Friday at the latest. He emphasized multiple times that he would "update me every step of the way." None of those promised updates ever came. After dropping off my car Monday, I heard nothing for days. By Thursday, I called and had to try multiple times before reaching someone. When I finally spoke with Al, he could not give a single detail about the progress and simply said I should expect the car back "next week." I reminded him that I needed updates to plan for transportation, and he again promised he would keep me informed. Week two was exactly the same. No one contacted me, so I called Thursday morning. After struggling to reach the shop yet again, Ari transferred me to Al. When I asked him how the repairs were going, he replied that they were "going great" and refused to elaborate. He said he would call me by the end of the day with an update--then never did. When I called back later, the call routed to Caliber Collision's support line. The representative was kind and apologetic, but there was nothing she could do. At my request, she said she would relay my concerns to management and that someone should reach out. No one ever contacted me. By Friday--now a full week past the original promised deadline--I finally reached Al, who casually said my car "should be done today." When I asked what time so I could coordinate returning the car I was borrowing, he initially told me not to worry and that he would "take care of it" if I just left the vehicle. When I explained the car belonged to my cousin, he backtracked and eventually gave a vague estimate of "after lunch... probably around 3-ish." When I picked up the car, I was shocked to find the bill had doubled from the original $5,000 estimate to nearly $10,000. When I later spoke with my insurance company, my adjuster told me the shop had never submitted an estimate--only the final charges--which struck him as unusual and against their typical procedures. Thankfully, insurance covered most of it, but the lack of transparency felt extremely suspicious. When I finally got my car back, the problems continued. There were sticky streaks on the windshield that hadn't been there before, and the next day I discovered that part of my gear-shift console was missing. The compartment underneath--something I had never opened--was full of grime, and items inside my car had been rearranged. I had no idea why the interior had been accessed at all when the exterior was the only damaged area. I visited again during my next lunch break and they quickly snapped it back to place, but I shouldn't have needed to in the first place. Overall, this location provided one of the most unprofessional and frustrating customer experiences I've ever had. Between the lack of communication, evasive answers, missed deadlines, questionable billing, and mishandling of my vehicle, I cannot recommend this shop. While I hope this experience is isolated, my advice is to save your time, money, and stress by taking your business somewhere else.

    Had an issue with a repair. *Update - Received a call back from Manager. Had a very good conversation. He was considerate and professional and had a genuine concern for the issue. Will be bringing car back this week. *Final Update - Al Rodarte handled the situation. A professional at his job.

    My new car was slammed by a drunk driver and I was devastated. After dealing with the police report and insurance, I dreaded what the repair experience would be like, but Caliber Collision made it easy and painless. They took care of me and my car even when I walked in first thing in the morning without an appointment. Al did an amazing job with the repairs. Thank you! You made a terrible life experience so much better.

    Came here to fix my car after I got rear ended at a gas station. They were very responsive and always communicated with me about any updates. Everyone was friendly and helpful.

    Mike P. is an EXCELLENT Estimator !!! My wife brought the car to shop after the incident and Mike advised not to drive the car due to safety even though had been told to bring the car in early following week ! Of course we were very anxious and worried about the process thru insurance and rental car. Mike did a GREAT customer service to help us thru this experience. Many THANKS to you Mike ! You did a lot of extra steps to help us. Caliber did a wonderful work to fix the front and also the rear damage ( in previous hit and run). Will definitely come back to this shop location and look for Mike !!!

    After

    See all

    5 stars for Bob purely based on honesty, professionalism, kindness and customer service…read more I reached out regarding damage on my salvaged VW CC after a hit-and-run from an unregistered RV. Bob gave me a realistic quote, but more importantly, he took the time to genuinely guide me instead of just trying to sell me on expensive work that didn't make financial sense for my situation. Even though I'm probably not going through the full body shop route, he still went out of his way to explain my options, educate me on the differences between body work vs PDR, referred me to someone he trusted, and even personally vouched for me and texted the guy on my behalf trying to help me out. That level of kindness and authenticity is rare these days. You can tell Bob genuinely cares about people and takes pride in doing things the right way. If I ever needed proper body shop work done in the future, he'd absolutely be one of the first people I'd call. Highly recommend.

    If you want an experience where the body shop damages your vehicle and completely denies any…read moreresponsibility, a constant hassle of them saying your car is complete only for you to find that it's not, and for the timeline to be quadrupled then Bob's Bridge is the shop for you! The biggest problem is that they damaged my vehicle. No question about it. You can see the before and after pics with dates. My car had a small chip in the middle before the service but no chip on the left side. I know they damaged it because how I got the chip that in the first place because I slammed the trunk hard, thus chipping the glass. And this body work included fixing the trunk not able to close properly, so I'm positive they slammed the trunk thus chipping the glass in a different area. After telling Boris about the damage he completely denied responsibility and he has a way of not saying he won't pay for it, but rather pushing that issue to the side and saying we'll let's finish your body job and then maybe we can discuss the damage issue. But when the job was done I said he would need to compensate for the job and he said he's not paying anything. His defense was saying they don't work on glass so it's impossible for them to have caused the issue. But as I mentioned above, the chip likely came from somebody slamming the trunk. Additionally, Boris told me my car was done 6 times (yes, six!!!) when every time it was not. I don't live in Fremont so each time I had to drive to 45+ minutes, or waste money on Uber/Bart just to find out that the car needs to remain in the shop for further work. This is due to their poor craftmanship. You can see in the pics that they wanted me to pick my car up when there was damage on the bumper, poor paint job on the rear tailgate that made it red (they were so cheap on the job that they got aftermarket parts, so I didn't realize that they got a tailgate from a red tesla and painted it grey , which I never agreed to at the beginning of the job), sensors not being reinstalled, and the brake light was not installed correctly. Still, after taking it back 6 times, although most of the redness is gone there are still minor scratches that were never there before the accident. Boris has hung up on my phone calls so despite their "warranty" I'm not even able to go back there again so I'm just going to have to deal with it. The weirdest part about this whole experience was that one of the 6 times they said my car was complete they put on bumpers that had no holes for the sensors. So basically the tesla drove like a normal car without being able to detect what's in front or behind it. I still have no clue why they would do this?!?! Why would you put on the wrong car parts?? I told them to keep it in the shop but they insisted that I take my car because it would take a week for them to get the parts, paint them, put the sensors in, etc etc. Of course this took 2.5 weeks instead of 1 and then he didn't fix the sensor problem so I had to drive out again and wait another week. Ugh. It was such a hassle. And of course Boris was claiming that he had nothing to do with the sensors being a problem that they caused . Really Boris? The sensors were fine before I took it into your shop so please explain that one to me . Lastly, they said this job would take 1.5-2.5 weeks. It took 2 MONTHS. Yes, 2 months. And still my car has scratches and the windshield chip I mentioned. Not to mention I had to pay 100% of the cost up front which is extremely sketchy. Body shops only require 50% up front at most to buy parts. They claim that I had to do that because they gave me a good deal. I don't buy that one bit. Be weary they will also want you to Zelle so you can't dispute the charge!! I disputed the charge but unfortunately lost. I will be taking Bob's Bridge Collision Center to small claims court to recover the cost of them damaging my rear windshield. Avoid this shop at all costs and don't make the mistake that I did. They are liars.
