Great service and excellent communication, thank you Lourdes was super helpful and was very pleasant. I would recommend this place, wonderful customer service. read more

I can't recommend this place enough. I had a collision that required extensive repairs. The manager and Lourdes took care of everything with insurance. Lourdes was on top of communicating with me and made the whole experience a lot less stressful. They took the time to clean my car, inside and out, so it looked brand new when I picked it up. 5/5 stars. Come get your work done here. read more

Poor service. Missed a crucial repair on my car and then tried to say there was nothing wrong. A few month later and the noise is back.

After two failed attempts to get my accident damaged car repaired at Carstar I took it to another shop. The 2nd shop showed me several things Carstar should have repaired, including not fixing the bent frame of my car. Carstar had charged my insurance company to repair several things they didn't do. After Carstar twice failed to repair my car and lied about their work, my insurance company declared my car a total loss. Stay away from this business. read more

CARSTAR Sunset was amazing! The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. They made sure that I understood the process. Most importantly the work was done quickly and sufficiently! read more

My car was in an accident and essentially totaled but the replacement was an exact same copy so I called these folks up and ask them if they could paint just a hard top of my car so it matched the new car it was going to sit on and the lady on the phone said I checked with my supervisor and we don't do that so I said so I have to get my whole car painted in order to get the top of my car paint and she said well yes if you wanted to get the whole car payment it would cost $10,000 So I said you're telling me that paint job for a cat tiny car is $10,000 and she said yes and that's when I said you're completely out of your mind and you're sadly misinformed read more

Place used to be much better. The woman working in the office now is a condescending sourpuss. Their prices are ridiculously high because they know they're getting paid by insurance. Don't even think about trying to do something out of pocket as their prices are insane. read more

very disappointed with my experience here i only went with them because of my insurance and the close proximity to my house a simple 3-5 day repair became a ongoing 3 week issue firstly there was a misunderstanding on my parts being ordered and it wasn't even placed until the day i brought my car in which was 2 weeks later so not sure why that happened. they will not admit to being at fault and owning up to the mistakes no further explanation on repair time because of ev vehicle mentioned in the beginning once the initial quoted repairs were fixed they found another problem. this became a multiple occurrence with problems keep coming up causing major delay. they are not clear with the reasoning behind additional service. i do not understand why all the issues were not found out all at once in the beginning. they only make up excuses to delay the issue without any proof i did not feel they handle this situation professionally because they mentioned about my rental car due date hinting they can take their time with the repair not knowing it is causing me additional out of pocket fee they lack serious communication (never call with updates) i have to be the one to call every time and follow up. they always speak to me in a condescending tone. the hours are non accommodating to people who don't work a monday to friday 9-5 job. they are closed everyday at 4:30 and not even open on the weekend?? how does this make sense i felt taken advantage of due to my race gender and age. with my lack of car knowledge they did not provide the support and assurance i needed. not once did i feel they showed any empathy. there was never an apology for the inconvenience if i could give 0 stars i would because they don't even deserve 1 star HIGHLY DO NOT RECOMMEND be glad i am not naming names because (HE) continued to be rude and unprofessional until the very end of this whole situation. read more

I highly recommend this body shop. They do quality work and will stand behind their work. Should you have any issues, even small details, they make it a point to correct your issues to your satisfaction. You don't often encounter a business that places the customer's satisfaction at such a high priority. Thank you Sunset Auto Reconstruction team! read more

Victor is a true professional who is proactive in communication and able to identify and repair the most severe of damages. I just got my Mercedes, which was smashed into the curb while it was parked, back from Victor and his team's care and thus far everything seems great. CarStar also offers a limited 5 year or 50,000 miles warranty on their work, so I'm driving assured that if I notice something was missed in the repairs, Victor's got my back. read more

My Toyota Tacoma was really smashed up bad and I thought I might have to total it. I was so bummed out knowing I probably wouldn't be able to afford to get another Toyota with the crazy resale prices right now. To my amazement the crew at Sunset Auto Reconstruction got all the parts and pieces and rebuilt my truck back to looking as good as when I bought it new. Now I can "keep on truckin!" Thanks again Sunset Auto Reconstruction Rob read more

I brought in my Mitsubishi today for a niche sensor issue -- the part is obsolete/I have to do some digging, but they gave me good advice and were SO kind and friendly to me! I would 500% come back here again for future issues. They were super quick and courteous. Nice folks! read more

I needed to get a water leak fixed for some time, so I brought my car in here for an estimate. They say it's gonna cost $150-$300 for an inspection to see what's wrong. So far so good. They tell me it's the windshield. Alright, they tell me the new estimate is ~$720. So I give them the go-ahead. A windshield replacement costs ~$250 from two other quotes I got, and all I need them to do is pop mine off and put it back on well sealed, so I know the price is really high, but I figure hey, it's already in their shop and it's worth the convenience. They also tell me at this point that the current windshield might crack when they take it off (and of course, gave me no estimate if it did). Well shoot. Oh well. I tell them that's okay go for it. Guess what? It cracked! These are professionals after all. Well the new estimate for this $250 job is now: ~$1,520.00. Well that's way too much and I say no thank you on the replacement, just go ahead and put the cracked one on and I'll get it replaced for $250 with someone else, so my grand total is only like $1000. But guess what? I can't. They already did the work, before I OK'd it. So I protest about the insane price, but there's nothing I can do. After protesting enough they demanded I pay in cash, and threatened to lien my vehicle for $250 every day I didn't pay. They practically dangled my own keys in front of my face if I didn't like them writing their own check. The whole process took almost a week when a replacement and inspection should have taken no more than a day or two. They love having your keys for as long as possible, so they have the maximum pressure on you. These people are professional extortionists. Whatever you do, DO NOT give them your keys and sign anything, or they'll write their own check with your money, and threaten you if you protest. EDIT: within just hours of posting this, these guys tried to tell Yelp that this review was not for Sunset Auto Reconstruction. They tried to take down this review. Clearly they'll go through any dishonest lengths necessary to artificially pump up their Yelp rating. I guess you can't even trust their Yelp reviews. "We run an honest shop" -Victor read more

Very recommended.. Always provide a great service and also always did an excellent paint job. They were able to match the color with the original paint on my 1991 Harley Davidson FXR. Thanks again Victor. I'll see guys soon for my next project. read more

See all

This shop was really great and welcoming. They helped me understand the process to my repairs. Someone side swiped my left side of my car and they did an awesome job at fixing my driver door and my fender. Highly recommend this shop. read more

Thank you so much for the amazing service! Victor and his team are awesome! Highly recommend taking your car here if you need any work done. They were so friendly, quick, and efficient. My car is back to looking great! read more

CARSTAR Sunset Auto Reconstruction - All new front end. - Auto Repair Near Me - San Francisco, California

I 100% recommend Sunset Auto Reconstruction. My car got hit when it was parked so I took my car here to get fixed. When I went in, I was treated very nicely and they had a rental company come pick me up almost instantly. It was so easy and they reassured me that my car would be in good hands- everything was so stressful with insurance but Victor and his team made everything so easy and smooth. Victor and his team are absolutely amazing!! He kept me updated about my car and made sure I got the best parts for my car. When I picked up my car, he explained everything he did to my car and was extremely friendly. Everything was so smooth and I was so excited to get into my fixed and clean car. Thank you again Victor! read more

This year I've been really unlucky with my car and have gotten into two accidents. After being recommended through my insurance here, I've had nothing but great service with them. The team was professional and friendly, and explained to me the breakdown of the repairs and were very communicative of when my car would be ready. read more

Got into an accident, messing up the whole front of my brand new Dodge Charger. CARSTAR fixed it like brand new, super quick, easy to deal with, and great actually reasonable prices! 5 stars all the way. read more

Highly recommend Sunset Auto Reconstruction!!! Victor is kind, knowledgeable and attentive. He handles everything and he and his team do the highest quality of work. My husbands family has been going to this family owned business for years and now that I live out here this is the only place I will take my car. They are 100% trustworthy and deliver on time if not ahead of time. Love this place! read more

Daughter's car was broken into & we needed to get the glass and door fixed, from calling for a quote to pick up Lourdes was very professional and polite and informative I'll definitely be coming back in future cases read more

I was going to drive to my mechanic across town and I just didn't want to, because of a time restraint. I asked my dentist if he knew of a mechanic. And he recommended his neighbor. Which was CARSTAR Sunset auto. I have new friends !!! Dental care and auto repair side by side !!! I love the both of them !!!! Yippee !!!! read more

Brought my Panamera to Sunset Auto since I had a little accident on my side door and needed it fixed with a new paint job. I was lucky to meet the owner Victor.He was very friendly and really honest and easy to work with throughout the entire process! Not to mention he's handsome ;) so that helped too! They did a beautiful job with the repair and making sure I was a happy customer! The quote Victor gave me was reasonably priced as well! I definitely would recommend this Auto Body shop for those looking for repairs! read more

Great business run by super organized, competent, pleasant folks! The dented rear bumper on my 13 year old car was efficiently replaced with a perfectly paint-matched new one, and all insurance "paperwork" was done seamlessly. PLUS, when I got in the car to drive it back home, there was an unexpected but pleasant discovery: the inside of my car hasn't been this clean in quite some time! Many thanks for excellent service and extra effort. read more

I had someone hit my car and dent my driver side door and wheel panel. I brought my car to Carstar where Lourdes and Victor where extremely helpful and pleasant to work with. They had my car done in just 4 days after dropping it off. They also gave it back to me cleaner then I gave it to them! Thanks for the detail!! Very pleased with this place and hopefully I don't have to come back but if I do I'm coming to Carstar. read more

Very strange/bad experience with these folks. First, the guy who came to tow my car to a body shop (after being hit from behind) talked me into taking it to his friend's place (this place), saying he could maybe cut the deductible in half for me. Talked a lot about the great work they do, which I verified on Yelp and compared to the place my insurance was recommending I go. So I switched to this spot. Well, when the car was towed there and work finally began, I asked about what this guy said about the deductible. I was pretty much scolded and firmly told that wouldn't be happening, and that he doesn't work for the shop. So... why is he out there drumming up business for you guys? At this point, my car was already there, and they had good reviews, so I went with it. It took an average amount of time to do the work (needed new bumper, light covers, and trunk needed realignment from directional force). When my car was "done," I went to check it out. Only realized when I got home that there was a new scratch on a panel above where the accident was (which I know is new because it wasn't in the damage pics from right after the accident) *and* the trunk isn't aligned properly, so if you close it softly, it just bounces back open. It also scrapes on the right side at the inner arm that supports the trunk. I have fought back and forth between insurance and this shop to get that scratch repaired, and didn't want to take the car back for the trunk fix until I knew the scratch would be repaired too, at the same time. The shop recommended I take the car back for the trunk repair and then bring it back later for the scratch repair, once insurance OKd it. But who can actually give up their car, going back and forth and back and forth, for several different body shop visits?! And of course, insurance said "hell no" to covering a scratch that wasn't from the accident. So bottom line, there's weird stuff going on with this shop and a tow guy who apparently isn't associated with them, and they don't do great work. They also don't take accountability for scratches they put on your car in the process of fixing it, and they'll be totally fine asking you to disrupt the heck out of your life taking your car in for 3 different appointments, which should just have been one. Worst body shop experience I've ever had. read more

My car was brand new looking in less than four days. Carstar's professionals take pride in their craft and were attentive to every detail in bringing our car back to it's original luster. I highly recommend this body shop and will spread the word about their awesome service. read more

Great service and quality. Easy drop-off, pick-up and worked seamlessly with my insurance company.

After a full weekend of going home to volunteer and provide my support to evacuees and survivors of the North Bay fires, coming home to San Francisco and waking up to a broken window from an attempted car burglary was a little disheartening, needless to say. Nevertheless, I was to not let it weigh me down as it is an issue easily fixable and nothing compared to the horrors and heartbreak I've been witnessing lately. So I sucked it up and took my car to the auto body shop down the street from my house to get the window replaced - Sunset Auto Reconstruction. I've passed by it almost every day on my run into Golden Gate Park, and after hearing good things about the shop and receiving a better quote than the last place I checked out, I decided to get it done there. The person I worked with was John the owner, who is a very humble, present, and overall pleasant man to interact with. We immediately got to talking about the 2012 Giants World Championship Series poster on his wall, then proceeded to talk about the fires in the north bay, our friends whom have been affected, my experience volunteering, as well as the social work I do in the local community. He made an easy call and let me know the part would be there in a few short hours. After coming back later in the afternoon, he asked me how my day at work went and before I knew it, my car was ready. The window was not only repaired but he had also kindly vacuumed all the broken glass from my backseat. When I asked him if he took card, he replied that he didn't take anything. After a bit of confusion and asking him if he was serious, I realized he wasn't charging me the $100 he originally quoted me. I began to cry and said that was extraordinarily generous, and he teared up as well saying that I do very good work. We embraced and I thanked him profusely. After so much tragic devastation and an extreme sense of hopelessness, this touching act of human kindness was so remarkably moving... And will most certainly be enough for me to return to this business in the future as well as spread the word to all my friends and family here in San Francisco. 10 out of 5 stars for not only your business but for giving me hope and inspiration in human kind. read more

Outstanding customer service and really fair prices! Will definitely be using their services again when the time comes.

Sunset Auto Reconstruction is the best auto body shop in the city! They have all around amazing customer service and were very timely in their repairs! I'm very happy with how my car turned out - I highly recommend! read more

Fantastic service. We chose Sunset Auto Reconstruction off the StateFarm list of auto repair providers. Our car looks as good as new after only one day in the shop. Victor was very professional from beginning to end of this speedy repair. Highly recommend. read more

Great service! I would highly recommend taking your vehicle to Sunset Auto Reconstruction. Dont forget to ask for Vic! He will be sure you leave completely satisfied! read more

This is the third time I have had to use sunset auto reconstruction for repair work in the past several years (yay SF hit and runs!). They have been consistently quick, reliable and pleasant to work with. They do a fantastic job and, as a repeat customer, are highly recommended. (And side note, I don't know who these few people are griping about the cost on Yelp...get insurance, go through your insurance, the team here processes everything for you and does so seamlessly. The cost of the parts, labor and expertise is for their valued work. Everyone should be entitled to charge for the worth of their work). Thank you Victor and team. read more

My go to shop in the city. Victor and Lourdes are professional and helped with every step of the process. The shop did a very great job with the repair of my car. Will definitely use them again if need be. read more

I never EVER write reviews, but my experience at CARSTAR was so positive, I just need to tell everyone. After a guy hit the side of my car when it was parked I went in for an estimate and Victor broke down the cost of every detail for me so I knew exactly what I was paying for. Once the guy who hit my car agreed to pay for the repair, I brought my car into the shop and it only took 3 days to fix when they originally said it would take 4 days. So I picked up my car a whole day early AND when I did it looked like a new car! The dent and scratches were gone AND they washed the outside and inside of my car, free of charge! Everyone was so friendly and communicative there. Truly cannot recommend enough. Thank you thank you!! read more

My car was grazed by a fire engine, damaging the driver's side mirror. Carstar was one of a few repair shops recommended by my insurance company. I made a same-day appointment for an assessment of damage. Parts arrived within two business days and I promptly received a call to schedule an appointment. The work was handled promptly, courteously, and thoroughly. The shop has strong COVID protocols in place to protect staff and customers. read more

Called to get a quote for a glass repair. Guy said "to call a glass company, they don't have time for that". Very unprofessional.

The best body shop in SF bar none. Victor, Lourdes and their crew quickly fixed my car on a repair that a neighboring shop would not attempt . No need to get other quotes - go straight to Sunset auto! read more
