DTM is hands down THE best shop in SoCal for custom body kits. Their body work is hands down god tier. They can make something that doesn't fit AT all fit. 99.9% of the body shops around would not even attempt such a job but DTM will knock it out because that's their speciality. They got my gtr looking like a show car. read more

DTM Autobody - Body Shops Near Me - El Monte, California

I will ONLY go to them for all my car needs simplly the best! Thank you guys! I referred all my friends and family to them!

I brought in my 2002 Lexus IS300 for body repairs, and I couldn't be happier with the service at DTM Autobody! From the moment I arrived, PJ, Patty, and Long took great care of me and my car. They were professional, friendly, and clearly know their stuff. The team kept me informed throughout the entire process, and the quality of the work was top-notch. My Lexus looks and drives better than ever--it honestly feels like it got a new life! I really appreciated their transparency and commitment to getting things done right. If you're looking for a trustworthy, skilled, and customer-focused auto body shop, DTM Autobody in El Monte is the place to go. Thanks again to PJ, Patty, and Long--you all made this such a smooth and positive experience! read more

I've brought two cars to DTM Auto Body, and both times I've been extremely satisfied with the results. PJ and Long are truly great to work with--friendly, professional, and transparent throughout the entire process. They handle all the major insurance companies, which made everything smooth and stress-free. What really stood out to me was their excellent communication--they kept me updated every step of the way. Highly recommend them if you're looking for quality work and people you can trust! read more

Would recommend this body shop! Just picked up my decklid + wing today from them. Dropped off 5 days ago and done! Paint matched Good Quality Paint + Customer Service! Thank boss PJ and Long. Would DEFINITELY come back again! read more

If you need car repairs, DTM is the place to go--especially if you ask for Long! After my accident, I took my car in for body work, and Long was incredibly helpful. He answered all my questions and maintained great communication throughout the process. When I got my car back, it looked brand new, and you couldn't even tell I had been in an accident. I highly recommend DTM, and thanks again to Long for making everything so easy! read more

I came to DTM with hopes of getting my 1990 Mazda RX-7 back to its original glory. I'm the 3rd owner, and over the years the car has become quite the collector vehicle, and accumulated its share of dings and paint chipping. Long and his team were super patient and communicative with me throughout the entire process, helping to answer any questions I had from small to big. I even asked how they remove the fasteners to make sure they try not to break them as much as possible. I'm happy to say I have my car back, and I couldn't be happier with the work. I cry a tear of joy every time I see it. A huge thank you to Long and the team for everything. It's really brought a lot of joy to me for completing this project. read more

THE WORST BODY SHOP I HAVE EVER USED IN MY ENTIRE LIFE. I left my car to get fixed back in 2013, it was stripped and had extensive modifications done it. They would work on it when they felt like it, then store in their yard until they felt like working on it. This went on for 10 years. I am partially to blame as I allowed this behavior to go on. I regret being too patient and lenient. I finally received the vehicle "finished" back in 2019. The car was far from "finished" and was riddled with imperfections: paint chips, orange peel, drips, hazing, over-spray ... you name it, it was there. By this time, DTM was under new ownership, Patrick Toledo. He offered to make it right, although corrections were made, the car is still riddled with imperfections and the paint is now starting to peel. I went back to have them make it right and Patrick closed the door on me like I was a leper in Biblical times. I have attached pictures of all idiocy in action to show what I mean along with an e-mail I sent to Patrick and a reply of rejection. If you are seriously considering having your car go here and you do not heed this warning, you deserve what they will give you 10 fold. While Long did his best to make it right, things never were rectified to 100% satisfaction, something would always happen. I cannot even begin to tell you how many parts were lost. DO NOT GIVE THEM PARTS UNLESS NECESSARY, THEY WILL MISPLACE THEM. If it wasn't for Long, Patrick would have given me the boot a long time ago. They ripped me off and ruined my project and misplaced parts and made me lose a lot of money! And while Patrick might jump in here to make his business look good, I always had faith in their work until it started peeling like others have complained. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. LIKE PUBLIC ENEMY SAID: DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE! read more

From start to finish, I definitely did not have a good experience. To begin, the lady at the front desk (who sits to the left after walking in) had a slight attitude during the entire time I was there. From the customer service to the clarity and transparency of the job I was going to get done, I was honestly unsatisfied. After asking most of the questions since I wasn't really being told much, I left without a solidified ETA -- only what was told to me over the phone when making my appointment (which I was told that Friday, with the day I visited being Monday). I forgot to ask for an ETA after I dropped off the car because I was so lost in being unsatisfied. Friday comes and it was ME who had to reach out for an update, because I've heard nothing up to this point, to find out my car won't be ready until the Wednesday of the following week. Mind you, the only thing I had to get done was to paint my front bumper and to install it. I can imagine them being busy, so I didn't complain and just let it be, for them to keep my car for 1 1/2 weeks to paint the front bumper. Comes the following Wednesday, I call DTM for an update on the car and a gentleman (the owner of the shop, if I'm not mistaken) answers and tells me that my car has been ready since the day before (Tuesday) and was a little confused on why I wasn't reached out to. Not minding that, he said he'll get the car washed and ready for pick up. I honestly had better customer service with the owner in that short phone call than I've had throughout the 1 1/2 weeks I've been in contact with the front representatives. I get to DTM, pay what I was charged (which after reaching out to others, I was a bit overcharged compared to other shops), and pick up my car. The other gentlemen in the front office helped me get the keys to my car. As I was given the keys and the gentlemen was walking back into his office, I asked him for my OEM front bumper with my license plate, and he said, "oh, yeah I'll get that for you." Them forgetting to give me back my front bumper was the cherry on the top of a bad experience. Beside my bad experience with their customer service, I still wouldn't recommend this place based on their prices compared to the quality of work. Attached is a photo of my painted front bumper to my OEM fenders. As stated on the picture caption, I knew it wasn't going to be perfect, but I definitely expected a better job. I don't usually write Yelp reviews often, but I felt the need to compose this one compared to everyone else's five-star experience. read more

I have a r33 skyline GTR, which is semi rare car in the US. I wanted to restore the car back to 100%, so I brought the car to DTM. When I walked in the office, no one looked up to greet me. I was asked if I had an appointment, which I did. But the employee I had an appt with was not in. Long the manager took over when he finished his work, and when he walked out and saw the car he would be working on, his demeanor towards me completely changed. He got friendlier, offered me a tour of the facility etc. Said the work would take about a month, and that was that. About a month later, Long called me for an update. we went back n forth about how it was going, which seemed to be good. At the end of the conversation, he informed me they needed to back the car out of a stall, and the employee turned out to be not comfortable with right hand drive cars. (import) The employee had backed the car into a wall, and made a "small scrape and dent". This turned out to not be true, see pics below, and left a two ft. gash in the car. Long said the car would be repaired, and he would even paint half my car. This was unacceptable because the car would not match, and I had to fight to have the entire car repainted correctly. But the work was done, accidents happen, and I thought we could move on on good terms. The day I was supposed to pick the car up after it was repaired two months later, I paid my bill, took my keys and headed out the door. 5 min into my drive on the 60 freeway, I heard a noise, steering wheel shuddered, front of the car dropped, lost almost all steering and braking. I narrowly got my car to the side of the road. DTM had not tightened the lug nuts on my front left wheel. Only one lug nut barely threaded was left. My Brake rotor was grinding into my wheel (only thing keeping my wheel from coming off.) Not only could this have totaled my car, could have easily KILLED me. DTM said things like this have never happened. But it happened to my rare car twice in a row. I had to fight DTM tooth and nail to have my car come out somewhat in the same condition that it went in. Although the work I came in for was completed satisfactorily, my car has left the shop in a worse condition then when I brought the car in, and I am still waiting on a replacement wheel from the one they damaged. If you feel like gambling with your car, or your life, this may be the shop for you. But I would suggest doing a bit more research and taking your car somewhere it gets the attention and detail it deserves. I will absolutely never use DTM again. read more

Please read this! As spending 5 minutes could save you a lot more time than investing in your pride and joy with these chumps. The worst service I have ever received. A facade of professionalism, poor quality control and inconsistencies in their services. My reverse synchro is now garbage after picking it up from that shop and I had a fresh rebuild in the transmission 3k miles. Bondo inside of every door. I went for corrections and it was lousy making my spoiler worse and taking a rattle can to clear up the primer over spray in the under carriage. Recently my front bumper paint cracked going up a driveway. Don't give them any form of payment until you are satisfied and DO NOT TRUST THEM! read more

Thanks to the guys for being so friendly and helpful especially thanks to Gago because he is the one who was helping me during the whole process. Honestly wasn't thinking that there was a chance for my car to be fixed, because the damages were really bad. Luckily my friend referred me to them and I didn't had to worry about anything. read more

Thanks to DTM team for their amazing job. Gago was so helpful and professional at his job. They got my car fixed in very short amount of time. Highly recommended read more

Don't believe the hype. Came here for 2 things. Fitment and color matching. Both are pretty off. If your car isn't a GTR or on its way to SEMA, expect to have one of their new guys attempt to put your car together. Turnaround time sucks. Communication sucks, they decide what steps to take next without asking you first. I read the negative reviews and bit the bullet. Shoulda just gone to a standard body shop like caliber collision. Got no choice but to take the L on this one. read more

DTM....where to start? We got a recommendation from a trusted friend to come and get work done on our car here. We were told they were accustomed to working on high profile vehicles and when we arrived at the shop for the first time, there were some impressive vehicles being worked on so we thought 'we're putting our car in good hands'. We asked them to install a StreetHunter wing, Carbon bonnet/hood, Carbon side-view mirrors, Carbon roof and exhaust. The wing install has continued to be faulty since the moment it came out of the shop. The first time we had asked them to fix it, the problem was that the wing would continuously leak water when popping the trunk after a wash or when it rained and even more so, the wing would KEEP WATER IN (you could hear literal sloshing from inside the wing). When they had installed the carbon roof, they had left white looking caulk around the perimeter that would supposedly 'just wash off'....there is still residue left from this caulk that cannot be reached unless getting a literal toothbrush and trying to scrub it off. There has been a number of very frustrating issues that has come out from working with this shop. For the price that's being paid to get work done here, as customers, we expect a certain level of quality when leaving with the car and you want to leave feeling comfortable knowing that you shouldn't have to constantly have to quality check for them. Unfortunately with DTM, this level of quality has not been met. On top of all this, we had paid to get a warranty for all work done by them and recently we had reached out through email asking for remediation for bad work done on the car and we didn't get a reply back whatsoever. Overall, I would highly suggest not coming to get work done on your car here unless you have a high capacity for patience and expendable income. If you are going to do a job and you know very well that you cannot deliver to a certain degree, then set an expectation. TLDR: Would not recommend, NO quality checks or setting of expectations. For the price you're paying, better off finding somewhere else. read more

DTM gave my E30 M3 a gorgeous paint job. As soon as I met Long and had a few conversations with him I knew I was at the right place. Due to their passion with cars, my car came out amazing. Mr. Long kept in constant contact with me through the entire process. I am extremely satisfied with their work. Highly recommended if you have a rare car. This place will take care of you. read more

How many ways can you spell exceptional? DTM is a full service shop and we wish to personally thank Maggie, David and Long. DTM has a multi-year relationship and will remain on our "go to" list for many years to come. During these years they have been professional, collaborative and kind in all dealings. This shop is in El Monte and offers service overflowing with class, professionalism and artistic skill. You should see some of the "enhanced" cars rolling out of their driveway. Pleased to patronize this shop now and in the future. Thanks DTM for making a dream come true (in a vehicle) and for all the inspiration--- car show participation and our inclusion. Highly recommend this shop and remain humbly grateful for the consistent above par service. read more

Unless you're getting prepared for SEMA and dropping tens of thousands of dollars, this place will gouge you for subpar work. I was referred to this shop by Kies Motorsport (formerly Pro Auto Motion) to install and paint their body kit, which looked good at first. However, after about 6 months I started to see the paint peeling away (literally) like a wrap, and every rock ships would reveal the raw bumper material. That means the original material wasn't scuffed and properly prepped so the paint wouldn't adhere; clearly, a primer wasn't used since you can see straight through once A layer is damaged. I'm just so disappointed especially now that I have to spend more money to get it properly fixed. read more

As a first timer with these types of things, I would first like to start by saying thank you DTM Autobody for taking care of me and my 03 Lincoln Town Car! They did a wonderful job on my car after being side swept in a parking lot and kept me well informed all throughout the time it was there. I'd like to give a special thanks to Diana, Kelvin, & Long for their sincere service. Please give this place a try and they'll see to it that the work is done diligently and honestly. No complications or hassles here! read more

Thanks to Long, Patrick, Angie and the rest of the crew at DTM, my s2k is looking flawless. After much online research, I stumbled upon DTM- mostly because of their extensive experience in the tuner car scene. I first made contact with Angie via Yelp. She was able to give me a quick price quote, but suggested I bring the car in for more accuracy. I brought the car by and was given a quick, guided tour from Patrick. He was very helpful in answering all my questions. The shop always seems to be busy, especially during the summer of COVID19; even during this pandemic, they have a multitude of cars in for service. The man behind the wheel of operations is Long. He is the man: he pays great attention to detail and treated my vehicle as if it were his own; everything lines up and the paint matches well. I can't applaud them enough for making my s2k dreams come true. My rice box looks like it's straight out of the Fast & Furious and has $100k underneath the hood! *make sure to check out Dim Sum King while you're there. It's just around the corner. read more

DTM Autobody - ASM bonnet and front bumper - Body Shops Near Me - El Monte, California

Great experience working with Angie and Long. Great customer service, made sure the job was done "right" and "complete". Throughout the whole process they took care of so many small details on my behalf such as having my car picked up at my house, delivering the car to me after it was done, getting me in a rental and having pickup and drop off directly at their location rather than me going to the rental company and taking a uber to pick up my care. Overall they take care of you every step of the way making sure the whole process is as convenient as can be for you. Great job Angie for coordinating everything. Also another mentionable thing was that even after I took delivery of my car, they still stand behind their warranty 100%. There where some spots that needed a little extra attention, but they did not argue at all and arranged for someone to come pick up my car "again" at my house while delivering a rental to swap out so they can further continue to work on my car. Definitely will recommend DTM to anyone who needs bodywork done! read more

Perfect costumer service did a bumper replace on my c43 got a nice result thanks to Hach that gave me the idea of it

Hey Guys Good Costumer Service I got really good Ideas for my NSX Hach And Long helped me a lot We are starting next week

Found an 18+ WRX Facelift bumper new and unpainted for a steal and wanted to get it paint matched for my '15 WRX. While looking for shops to paint match I saw an ad for their summer bumper paint special on IG and decided to reach out to them via e-mail for a quote. I finalized the details with Angie over the phone and within the week I drove down to visit the shop, was greeted and given a tour by Pat, and dropped off my bumper for paint. Turn around was pretty quick and they had called me in less than a week to tell me that it was ready for pickup! They did an AMAZING job paint matching and Long was even so kind as to paint the tow hook cap after the fact (I had ordered it after dropping it off). Angie, Pat, Long, and the staff were friendly and a pleasure to work with. You've definitely gained a loyal customer/fan & I'll definitely be back should I ever need more car parts to be paint matched or body work done to my car. Thank you DTM Autobody! read more
