    Completely redone
    Frank R. K.

    I have been coming to California Auto Upholstery since 1989! In the last 3 yrs Jesse has done over 120 classic cars for me. Mostly classic Porsche 911 and 912. But also Mercedes 450 and 560SL. Interior and convertible tops. He has always been fair and the work is outstanding!! Ask for Francisco to do the job. He always does my cars. Long story short, Jesse is the best upholstery shop in O.C.

    I've been searching for a long time to get my upholstery redone.ive gotten many quote and either people wanted way to much or there work wasnt up to par. I found Jesse locally and after a couple trips to his shop to take a look at random seat he was working on ,and saw his stitching looked very even and was satified I decided to give him a try. My car originally came in ivory color interior and in great shape for its age. I am in the mechanical field of work and cannot take care of that color so I decided to switch out to another color. There are some befor and after picture of Jesse work. And I am very satified with it. If any nsx members would like to take a look in person lmk. I can be contacted on prime. C_tuan78 in garden grove area. He wasnt the cheapest in town but he was professional and does great work.

    Had my driver's seat repaired about 1 month ago. I got 3 other quotes and Calif Auto Upholstery was the best. I waited to write this review to make sure the workmanship held up. So far it's been really good. He told me that he couldn't find the same fabric cause of the age of my truck. It didn't matter to me as long as the color was similar, but he matched it pretty darn close. He fixed all the worn out foam on the bottom and added foam to the lumbar area to make it more supportive. I brought the truck in at 8a and he was done by 3p. I would recommend Calif Auto Upholstery!

    Workmanship needs to be improved....

    After about 4 months of replacement, the soft top began a to rip. And I only drive this car during weekend, open and close the top less than 5 times. This is the quality you get from this shop, be aware, and they will do nothing about but tell you to pay more to fix/replace it even it's under their "warranty".

    Jesse and Francisco did an amazing job installing a new power soft top on my 2006 VW Beetle. I brought it in after driving around with a broken roof for 3 years because I was unable to afford to fix it, and they gave me a reasonable price and did a beautiful job! Looks better now than it did when I bought the car!

    Great quality. Awesome color match. Seemed pricey but didn't compare to any other business because this one was recommended to me.

    I brought the car in that morning and Jesse was able to finish it by afternoon with the correct paint code.

    I put a feeler out on Yelp looking for a shop that could tackle an immobilizer issue on my Toyota…read moreCorolla and HNC Bodyworks was the first to respond- and the only one who replied that they could service it. John called me right away, asked the right questions and quickly zeroed in on what was likely going on. You can tell immediately when someone knows their craft and he absolutely does. When I brought the car in, he hooked it up to diagnostics and confirmed the issue with precision. No guesswork, no runaround- just clear answers and a solid plan. He walked me through exactly what needed to be done, quoted me upfront and got straight to work. Within just a few hours, my car was fully repaired and running like it should. What really sets John apart is how he goes the extra mile. He didn't just fix the problem- he helped me understand why the anti-theft light had been stuck on and made sure I left with total clarity. Communication was top-tier too. Calls and texts were answered promptly, which is rarity these days. As someone who isn't a car expert, I appreciated how he broke everything down in a way that made sense. No pressure, no confusion-just honest, straightforward service. His pricing is fair, transparent and backed by a clear work order before anything begins, so there are zero surprises. Bottom line: if you want fast, reliable, no-nonsense service from someone who actually knows what they're doing, HNC Bodyworks is it. John has earned my trust and this is officially my go-to shop moving forward!

    Let me start off by saying that John and his team at K&T Collision Center went above and beyond…read more I went to John a few years ago for my 2011 Toyota Corolla to help prep my car to sell. The paint on the roof was peeling and I was concerned with the quality of the work and I was reassured that they back their paint job with a lifetime warranty. The turnaround was quick and he got it looking brand new. Years later, here I am. I have a 2025 Honda Odyssey Elite trim that sustained a windshield crack from debris. Unfortunately it was a huge metal object. So it was a crack that continued to spread & expand from the heat during the day & cooling during the evening. I asked for quotes around town on how much it would cost for a windshield replacement. I got quotes ranging from around $590 to upwards of $1700+. On the low end, $590 seemed like the most cost effective. However, windshields aren't made the way they used to be. Sensors, cameras, etc. play a role in the cost. Superficially seems like an easy fix. The glass is engineered to meet specific standards so these systems work the way they're supposed to. $590 (Safelite) was the easy way but if the technology malfunctions due to lack of calibrating or being the right product so the sensors/cameras work as specified. With bigger companies/corporate I often stray away because their business is built around quick work, productivity, quotas, etc. What sold me was my past experience and also, his facility being a Honda/Acura certified repair center. John went through all of my options ranging from aftermarket, OE, and OEM windshields. For the few hundred dollar differences between the options, OEM was the way to go with all the sensors/cameras, and tech. John quoted me a very fair price in my opinion (about $1400). A simple search online puts this job towards $2500 from the dealer. This was with all the recalibration of the cameras/sensors. Other shops were quoting me $1400 OEM BEFORE calibration. Rip off. The choice was simple. Great past experience & customer service. Honda Certified repair facility. Transparent with costs & options. Well below dealership pricing. The job was completed within less than a day. He called me for pickup yesterday. It was close to closing hours. I was unable to get transportation due my ride having prior obligations. Without hesitation he offered to have his team member pick me up from my residence. No charge. I arrived, he showed me the vehicle and to my surprise, the car was cleaned inside and out. I had come in to also obtain a quote for damage on the passenger side quarter panel and sliding door from a sharp turn into a pillar. It was dented. The paint was marred and exchanged paint with the pillar. It was horrendous to look at especially on our new vehicle. John & his team went ahead and cleaned it up for me and it looks almost brand new. Absolutely amazing. A local gem for a Honda body shop. Unfortunately, I don't have any before pictures of the damage but it was bad enough people stared over while we drove. K&T Collision Center made my day and my wife's day. We will be coming back to him to get the repairs, but for now, we will be able to drive our '25 Odyssey without getting negative attention. Thank you so much for taking care of our vehicle! P.S. You know a repair shop is legitimate when their employees roll up in cars that are very well maintained aesthetically and internally. Some employees drove older 90s cars that were very well taken care of and that same care is shown in their work!

It came out…read moreabsolutely amazing that's why I chose to use him for this sentimental restoration of a vintage carousel horse off the original Merry-Go-Round on the Santa Monica Pier. Carlos gave me the idea to paint it black with white feet and a white stripe on its nose. My house is black and white so it seemed like it would be a perfect fit he also knew that it would work well with the colors of the house. He sprayed all but the saddle with an amazing gloss black and hand-painted the feet and face and then his sister Joanna went absolutely bonkers with a free hand acrylic paint. I've attached pictures of my vision with my wife's favorite Swatch watch and she went to work. I am absolutely blown away by the results. You truly have to look through all the pictures to realize how it transformed into something that I can't even describe in words. They made it truly one of the greatest gifts I've ever given my wife and she is over the moon! Could not recommend them more for all of your automotive needs and he gladly takes on special projects like this. The pictures speak for themselves. Then to top it off a couple of his workers and his sister came over and helped me set it up on the porch it is very heavy and I definitely needed their help. Also he did it at a very fair price and I offered more than he charged just because they totally deserved it. Very accommodating and very professional and so chill to work with.

He accepts Zelle and Venmo now, which I don't think I recalled the first time I used him a few years ago. May Carlos be blessed with tons of business!
