Just used G & D for the 1st time, and I am absolutely a customer for life! The work was excellent! And everyone there treated me so well, from my first walk thru their door until I drove my beautifully repaired car off their lot. The repairs took a little longer than expected -- they tried to locate second-hand parts for as many parts as they could, and sometimes you have to wait until a part becomes available. But they saved me $thousands$ by doing that, so the delay was well worth it. (I had a 'back up' vehicle, so I wasn't incurring any rental car charges and could afford to wait.) But I was most impressed by Angela's commitment to quality repairs and safety. The car actually belongs to my 23-year-old daughter. As the repair time frame was delayed, G & D could have slapped the car together, cut some corners, and pushed it out the door just to make her happy. But Angela would not do that. The accident deployed a few airbags, and Angela would not compromise the repair! She insisted that the car be 100% safe in every respect before she would give it back to my daughter. No exception. As a father, I appreciated that tremendously. She also knew that I was paying the repair bill, not an insurance company. Angela generously gave me a discount...AND STUCK TO THEIR ORIGINAL ESTIMATE! No upselling, or "we didn't see this and we didn't see that", as many shops do. G & D couldn't have made much (if any) profit from this job, but Angela was more concerned that I would return to G & D in the future, and would share my great satisfaction with friends. Angela -- you succeeded on both points! I was referred by a friend (and obviously, a happy customer) who had used G & D more than once. And since giving our car to them, as I've mentioned in passing that my car is at G & D, at least 3 more random people have told me of the excellent experience and repairs they have received from G & D and Angela. No one has told me of a bad experience with G & D. A five-star experience all the way! read more

We have been customers of Angela Danciu and G&D Auto Collision, Inc. for over 25 years and have had nothing but excellent results from their work both with body repairs and mechanical work. They always open their doors with a warm reception and we have never had to wait as Angela and her staff welcomes us with open arms and listens carefully to the reason for our visit and evaluates the work that needs to be done. We have never been disappointed with their work. In fact, we leave their place of business with a smile on our face and never fail to say "a job well done." Angela and her staff are incredible people and don't take our visit lightly. Their paperwork is detailed in a way that anyone can fully understand the work that needs to be accomplished and the costs related to that work. They never have hidden costs. They are honest and trustworthy. Just recently, my husband and I visited Angela and her staff as our automobile needed body and mechanical work after an accident that left the car with significant damage to the bumper and fender as well as requiring mechanical work. After completion with all work done, our car looked and drove like new. We left their office with a smile on our face and a feeling of total satisfaction. We love our automobile and will not let just anybody work on it and for that reason we go to G&D Auto Collision, Inc. knowing they will do an all around beautiful job with fair costs. We have experienced other body shops before being introduced to G& D Auto Collision, Inc. and the other body shops took forever with their repairs and caused us an inconvenience as we had to go back to them with unsatisfactory work. When I think of G&D Auto Collision, Inc., the word "Excellence and Kindness" comes to mind. We would not hesitate to continue recommending anyone to their establishment as we have all the confidence in the world that they will be as satisfied and happy as we have been. read more

I got my GMC Yukon repaired here. Someone did a hit&run in the parkinglot @ my work. I found this place on Yelp and I thought it would be right of me to let others know of my experience @ G&D. This business deserves more that the 5 stars... Great family atomosphere. Angela was a nice lady and business woman who DEFINATELY treated me like family. Her daughter Georgette was very nice as well. She gave me great directions and started my estimate on my quaterpanel & Lift gate. She was very friendly and efficient. After done- she called Angela up to review and see what further discounts she could give me. I really appreciated it, since I didn't want to go through my insurance. Both ladies were very professional and direct. I also appreciated that they searched for aftermarket parts to try to save me money. I went to another bodyshop before G&D to get an estimate, Alliance just down the street, and they were nice also but they were double the price of G&D. And I also felt pressured to go through my insurance. That was not cool. That is why I highly recommend G&D because of my first impression when I got the estimate to final pick up of my SUV, the quality was great and I hate to admit but I'm very picky. Not sure what kinds of people the negative reviewers are, but I am glad I ignored them and went with my gut and read the other MANY good reviews. I definately would tell you if you were my friend or family to go to no other place than the G&D Family- they are awesome. read more

My brother has had at least 5 classic cars repaired and painted at G&D over several years - Camaro, GTO, etc. When I was involved in 2 accidents in 2006, I asked my brother for Angela's number. I cannot tell you the level of trust she instills in you and stands by every word she says and goes above and beyond the call of duty. She arranged the car rental, and like others have stated, they conveniently pick you up and drop you off. They have actually even driven me back to work in Irvine. Car is always washed and work is impeccable. Each car, my 2000 Toyota Avalon XLS and my 1998 Red Ford Mustang convertible, came out looking like new. The Avalon's entire trunk was smashed in and the top piece along the top of the doors even had to be replaced. All paint matched perfectly with the paint on the doors. Last year I asked if they could do some paint touch up for nicks in the Avalon since it is now 10 years old and I want to keep it looking nice. One of my back doors was no longer locking with the key fob and they replaced the part for me at a reasonable price at the same time. Angela will honestly even talk you out of doing some work if it not immediately necessary, often suggesting you wait until some other work needs to be done. When was the last time you encountered that type of approach at another business?? Her staff is great at troubleshooting too. You will not be disappointed and, if there is any chance you might be, you might just be too darn picky!! read more

I've been going to G&D Auto in Costa Mesa for about 10 years, and they have consistently gone above and beyond every single time. They've repaired my vehicles after multiple accidents, and each time the results have been nothing short of incredible--like driving off the lot with a brand-new car again.Most recently, I brought in my 2020 Toyota Highlander after being hit on the passenger side in January 2026. When I got it back, it looked absolutely perfect--no trace of the damage at all. Then, just a few weeks ago, I was unfortunately hit again on the same side (I'm starting to think my car is a magnet for accidents). When I walked in, Angela greeted me with a friendly "Not again!" and took care of everything from there.This time the damage was around $8,000, but once again, G&D Auto delivered flawless work. The attention to detail from the body shop team is exceptional, and the front office staff is top-notch. Angela deserves special recognition--she is professional, friendly, and truly makes the entire process stress-free. They handled everything with my insurance, kept me updated throughout, and made sure I didn't have to worry about a thing.I honestly can't praise them enough Angela, J.Paul and Michael. Their workmanship is beyond excellent, and their customer service is just as impressive. I highly recommend G&D Auto on Placentia Blvd to anyone in need of auto body repairs--no job is too small, and you will not be disappointed. John Rodriguez-Costa Mesa read more

Wow, Wow, Wow...All I can say is this company is everything they say. Friendly and family. As soon as I walked in Georgette, the daughter greeted me like I was family and had known me for years. Dropped everything she was doing and focused on me. Walked me through everything I needed to know. I was a little nervous about asking the insurance company to get me a rental car, but before I could even ask her, she called them and had my rental car arranged. She works with her Husband who is also very kind and informative. Georgette's Mom and Dad started the business. When it was time to pick up my car I met the Mom. She waited until 6:50 PM even after they closed until I got their. Their was a problem with the insurance company & cost & they went out of their way to make it work for me. The definitely did not have to do that. The Car looked great. Georgette told me to leave my rental car their and she would arrange for a pick up. I've been to many Auto body shops and this by far is the most I've ever felt like I was the important one. I have never left a review for anything because I just don't want to take the time to write it. I know a lot of people feel the same way, we say we're going to do it but never do. This time, I am making the effort. I cannot describe how thankful I am to you guys, for everything you did for me. I truly hope my words will bring you more business..People could use a company like yours, especially in the world we're living in now. read more

After stressing big-time ALL WEEK about my limping old work-truck with its broken frame-weld, I finally had a free afternoon to bring it into G&D for an estimate and to make a future appointment. Here it was, already getting late on a Friday afternoon, I had NO APPOINTMENT, but owner Angela took total care of me and my Nissan Frontier. As I sat in the beautiful waiting-room with mellow jazz playing, I noticed some very satisfied customers pay their bill and thank Angela, who gave them a big hug. Then, I started noticing all these "thank-you" letters/cards on the wall, and it was obvious this was no ordinary collision-shop! As I got ready to call my wife, check my calendar and try and arrange a day next week to drop-off the wounded Frontier, G&D's manager showed me the damage and explained how dangerous it would be to drive all the way back to Lake Forest with the broken steering-linkage/frame-weld. He said he would personally "work overtime" to fix it if necessary, but sure enough, by 4 PM I was on my way, after paying the VERY REASONABLE bill (to which I added a grateful tip). I'm actually thankful that my truck needed emergency repair today, otherwise I never would have witnessed such good old-fashioned personal service, or met such awesome, quality folks as "Angela & Company," a.k.a. G & D AUTO COLLISION INC.. read more

I recently had the pleasure of visiting G&D Collision, and I must say, it was an outstanding experience. From start to finish, the entire process was seamless and stress-free, thanks in no small part to the owner, Angela, and her daughter Georgette. From the moment I walked in the door, I was greeted with warm smiles and welcoming attitudes. Angela and Georgette took the time to listen to my concerns and provided expert advice on what repairs were necessary to get my car looking and running like new. Throughout the repair process, Angela and Georgette kept me updated on the progress of the work and made sure to address any questions or concerns I had promptly. They were professional, courteous, and went above and beyond to ensure my complete satisfaction. The quality of the work done on my car was exceptional, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Angela and Georgette clearly take pride in their work and it shows in the finished product. Overall, I highly recommend G&D Collision, to anyone in need of auto body repairs. Angela and Georgette are a dynamic duo who truly care about their customers and deliver top-notch service every step of the way. We even went to dinner afterwards with Georgette and her husband Alex. Thank you, Angela, Georgette, and Alex, for a job well done! read more

If I could give 10 stars, I would. G&D Auto is not only an efficient, cost-effective place to have your car repaired, but it is one of the *nicest places I've been to in the So Cal area*! I live in Los Angeles, but because of Angela's wonderful reputation and genuinely warm and caring personality, I drove the 60 or so miles each way in order to have my car taken care of by Angela and her team. She greeted me every time with a warm smile, hug and a handshake, and she made sure that I was taken care of from the moment I stepped foot in the office to the moment I left, shouting out directions of how I should drive back home. This was a breath of fresh air and I could see, by her many returning customers "I've known this gentleman for 20 years!" she told me, nodding over to the guy by the counter next to me, that she knows how to keep her customers happy. Please go here if you need anything done for your car - they do general maintenance as well... In fact, even if nothing is wrong with your car, stop by to meet Angela's smiling face - something that's hard to come by very often nowadays. read more

I got into a little accident and needed to get some quotes for my car. I reached out to G&D, and Mike got back to me right away. I tend to ask a lot of questions, and Mike answered every single one with so much patience and kindness. He made the entire process feel easy and stress-free. Everyone in the office was incredibly nice and kept me updated throughout the entire repair process. They even sent me pictures of the damage along with a detailed list of everything that needed to be repaired, which I really appreciated. As a single woman walking in by myself, I felt completely comfortable from the moment I walked through the door. I also felt very comfortable with the pricing and never felt pressured or taken advantage of. My car came out looking great, and I am so glad I found G&D! I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, friendly, and professional auto body shop. Thank you, G&D, for making a stressful situation so much easier! read more

No wonder the reviews here are all 5 stars. G and D Auto Collision is pushing the category to come up with TEN STARS, because that is how good they are. Your car will not come out of this shop unless it is perfect AND THEY KNOW WHAT IS PERFECT. I am very particular and this is the ONLY shop I know of where you can drop your car off and forget about it. This shop is truly the best part of an accident. Really, Angela down there has figured out how to change the customers' accident experience to one that's happy. You will be happy about your car when you pick it up AND with them. I am a repeat customer and refer everyone that needs this service to Angela because my car has continually looked better than even before the accident when I pick it up. I never write reviews, this is my first one, I am just one of those people that don't but, for Angela I will. She deserves a ten star rating. Oh by the way they have the best prices around! read more

I got referred to this place by a friend and I am super happy! I got a great price - nobody else was able to keep up with the price! And on top of it I got the best customer service ever and the car looks GREAT, just like new... I needed some body work done and had to get a rental for a couple days. Angela also took care of getting my windows tinted. I work longer then the office hours so Angela was so nice to wait for me until I get out of work and to pick up my car And it saved me another day of paying the rental car! I really appreciated that! I felt bad that she waited for me so I even got her some chocolates :) So I am super happy with the job, car looks great! Windows are perfect tint as well. I just LOVE it! I highly recommend this place! And I will be a returning customer! Next thing to do will be oil change :) Angela I am coming! read more

After 25-years of having my families (Me, my wife, and 4 grown children) auto body repaired by Angela and her family at G&D Auto Collision, I would never consider using anyone else. I have never paid a penny in deductible money, and we have never had another Collision repair shop come close to what Angela's deep discounts are. We have referred dozens of friends to her over the years and without exception, everyone has had a wonderful experience and walks away feeling like they now have the ultimate source for Auto Body repairs. G&D is fast, inexpensive, and does remarkable work. We have had several serious accidents while my 4 children were learning how to drive and each car was restored to brand new condition - flawless! Go talk to Angela if you need auto body work and you will be amazed. Really! Bob A. read more

I LOVE G&D !!! I've been a customer of G&D a couple of times for a the last few years with both of my Mercedes. They have always given me great service and awesome quality- whenever I walk in I see people in the office and they are going on & on about Angela and how happy they are with the shop. Especially being a girl, it's hard to find a shop to trust- but from the first time I went to G&D I felt like part of the family. They helped me with my insurance claim and I appreciated their assistance and time saving work. I have since referred several of my friends and they have been very happy with the shop. Highly recommended and know these people have been around for over 25 years and that's due to their satisfied customers. read more
