    I had my Toyota 4Runner repaired at Gary's after an insurance claim. The team did fight hard with the insurance company, and the final repair work looks good. However, due to the long repair time (over 3 months), I incurred extra rental car costs. Staff verbally promised to reimburse me for the amount beyond insurance ($1,854.17). I picked up the car on March 12, 2026, followed up multiple times including an email on April 29 and a certified letter on May 4, but as of today, May 20, 2026, I still have not received the promised reimbursement. I hope they will honor their commitment soon.

    John & Team are the best! Went to them for repairs when I got sideswiped on the freeway. They took their time to make sure every possible piece of damage was repaired. Even long after my first visit they're more than happy to help with any mechanical issues I run into.

    Damage to rear end
    Jake C.

    Our Honda Accord was rear-ended, resulting in damage to the tail light, bumper and fender. John and Vanessa took care of everything. They dealt with the insurance company and made the repairs in four days. They even washed and waxed the car so it felt like new when we drove it home. Friendly, fast, experienced and professional. I can't recommend them enough.

    Had a minor collision at the back side portion of my car by a clearly distracted driver. Thankfully the guys at Gary's are quick to take care of the issue and had excellent communication throughout the process. I love how professional these guys are. So far, it's turning out great and I can't wait for everything to be done!

    This is a quote for $3419 but I have a $2500 quote I will upload soon.

    I selected Garys Auto Collision Center because of the 5 star review, unfortunately I had a very bad experience. 2014 Honda Accord minor damage. Garys quote $10618! It should not matter how a customer is paying but with Gary, paying cash means "new parts" while using insurance means "aftermarket" or "used" parts. Unfortunately, I lost my job and I told Gary I can no longer afford to pay cash and have to go with insurance. Gary was upset and had to "return" brand new Honda parts because insurance only accepts "aftermarket or used" parts since it's a 2014 Accord . Since I didn't have auto uninsured collision coverage, I was denied by insurance. So, I told Gary if I can pay cash with the same "used" parts price. He responded that they don't make aftermarket parts and no used parts are currently available and have to increase the price back to $10,618. Desperately finding ways to save on cost, I informed Gary that I tested the headlights myself and I don't need to purchase a new one. Gary said okay and he will not replace the headlights and bring down the price to $9,300. Then I informed him that his website boasts about being able to repair plastic bumpers without the need to replace to save, Gary said he has no idea what I am talking about (see website photo). Since I still cannot afford it, I told Gary that I will have my vehicle towed out of his shop. He said that I will have to pay a hefty storage fee of $65/day. I said okay I will pay. Then he said, actually the price is now $95/day because interest rates are high (interest rates are all time low). I had no choice but to pay the ransom because I needed my vehicle out of there. I told Gary that I am ready to pay for the storage fees, he told me that I had to come in person to sign the papers. I asked him how is it okay for me to sign for the repairs via email but not for storage fees. He responded, okay and that I can pay via email. Really disappointed how dishonest a person can be during the holidays. So this was a $1300 mistake. It doesn't help that during the holidays I will have no job, no car, and now minus $1300. The only good news is, I found a shop today that gave me an in person quote of $2500 for the total repair. I hope no one else will have the same horrible experience that I experienced. Happy holidays everyone and make smart choices.

    Great communication with John at Gary's Auto Collision. Had front end damage on my Mustang that insurance of the other driver that hit me was balking paying the full amount for. John went to back and forth with insurance and got them to cover it. Also repaired rear quarter panel at the same time out-of-pocket. Got Mustang back when promised, it was detailed after repair, and looks brand new. Great job guys!

    2020 got me...and my car
    Chris N.

    Of course, 2020 ended with me getting T-boned! While, I'm grateful that it wasn't worse, I had to deal with getting my car repaired--which we all know is a headache. Because of this and because I'm attached to my car, I was willing to go about 30min out of my way to take my car to Gary for repairs. I heard about this shop through word-of-mouth and decided to message him through Yelp. He responded very quickly the same day--within 10min, I reckon. I was able to bring my car in that afternoon for an appraisal! Gary was very considerate of what I wanted with my car, which I appreciate! He was very transparent in discussing the repairs and showed me everything that was going into the estimate. Knowing that I was going to need a rental car, he suggested waiting until after the holidays for the repairs so that my car wouldn't be sitting in the shop and not get worked on while I was paying for a rental--thank you! I also decided to go ahead and get the paint restored on the entire car since it was in bad shape. Gary was honest with his recommendations and was very reasonable in terms of cost. On the day I dropped off my car, Gary even called the rental car company down the road to have them come and pick me up. Great service!! While my car was in the shop, he sent me picture updates of the progress. When it was essentially done, we walked around the car together to make sure I was satisfied with the work. He also made honest recommendations about waiting to get the car polished so the paint could set--I had to come back a few weeks later, but I was ok with this because I wanted it done right. They even restored my headlights without an additional charge. I also brought in a bumper protector, which they installed for me. Additionally, Gary's given me great advice on how to better maintain the paint on my car. Again, the service here has been great--above and beyond my expectations. For me, having peace of mind is important when it comes to my car and I definitely felt reassured taking it here. Hopefully, I won't need to come back anytime soon, but I feel good knowing that I have a good collision shop to go to just in case.

    2001 F250 beautifully restored by Gary's Collision.  So pleased!

    Our experience with Gary's Collision started when I had a cracked plastic transom door on my boat that I was hoping to get fixed. Not only did Johnnat Gary's take great care of me, they did a beautiful job. Because of this excellent creative work, I took my 2001 F250 for a total paint job. I love my truck and was restoring it to new. Again, John at Gary's took great care of me and made my truck beautiful and better than new at a very reasonable price. I question any of the negative reviews. Gary's is a class shop with a professional interest in doing great work for their customers. I'm a devoted fan.

I took it to three different body shops in town to see what my options were. Two shops told me they would have to drill into the car and leave a plug on the inside panel, and even then, they couldn't guarantee it would look 100%. Then I took it to The Dent Man and spoke with Han. He immediately said he could get the dent out without drilling, and I was able to schedule the repair for the very next day. The result was absolute perfection! You would never know the dent was ever there. Han told me it would take about two hours, and he had it finished right at the two-hour mark. He did an incredible job! Han was so easy to work with, professional, and friendly, and everyone in the shop was welcoming and kind. If you're shopping around trying to decide where to take your car, hands down, I highly recommend The Dent Man. This is by far the best experience I've had with a body repair shop in the SCV.

Han clearly takes pride in his work. I will definitely recommend them to anyone who wants fair, detailed, and professional dent removal.

Victor took a quick look at the car, heard what we had to say, really understood where we came from, and said he would do his best to fix what he could instead of replacing, and he'll send us a quote the same day. The quote he gave us was easily less than half the quote from the dealership. Less than one week from signing up with Felix Autobody they had the part purchased and I dropped off my car and they said they'll have it ready in within the week. Their estimated time was also great and was just one day off cause they had to add one more part that was damaged, but all in all it was a massive win, on all parts. I said this to Victor and Nancy both, I really hope we don't have to get auto body work to this scale ever again, but if we do, I know where I'm going! Also, they have the cutest dog in their front office that is hungry for scratches. I loved connecting with her every time we visited. Plus point for pet lovers!

I brought my car in, in need of new suspension components. Initially i was quoted 1100 for new parts, and installation; I paid 1500 after all was said and done, and it was mostly quite a waste of time and money in the end. Upon picking up the car it still had a pretty bad issue with alignment, and shuddering in the car around 55+mph. I brought it back to have it looked over again maybe 4-5 times, giving up the car for the day every time. Each pickup was disappointing as neither issue was resolved, and they claimed to not be able to determine the cause of the issues. After some research of my own, i was able to figure out why the car was shuttering, so i ordered parts and installed them. Unsurprisingly, the shuttering was gone and that problem was solved. I then paid for 2 different alignments elsewhere to try and solve the pulling, but it came down to the front strut that they installed being completely blown. I went back to the shop and proposed bringing in parts I source and having them potentially credit me a little for the defective part i had already paid for them to source and install (only on the car for maybe 1000 miles). The owner, said no, and was going to charge another 1000 (or more) to install stuff i brought in. Its a shame, i would have loved to support a family owned business, and one thats been there so long. But the owner, Joseph isnt the most reasonable. If you have to go here try and deal with his son, Jr; as he was much more knowledgeable and willing to work with me. Good luck
