    This place is great! I have previously come in the past for another vehicle and remembered how great the service was. So, I decided to bring in another vehicle. Everyone is so helpful and attentive immediately when you get there. Gil was great at giving me a good price and taking care of my car. He is also honest and kept me up to date on the progress of my car. I am extremely satisfied and happy with the turn out! My car looks brand new again! I highly recommend Gil's Auto Works.

    10 stars, all the way. My BMW had clear coat peeling on both the front and rear bumpers, and even though it was still under warranty when the peeling occurred, BMW wouldn't honor their responsibility on the paint. Robert at Gil's Auto Works was certainly up to the challenge. When I went to pick it up from his shop, the first question I asked was, "Did you just go over to BMW and get me a new one?" Truly, I don't think the car looked this beautiful even when I bought it. The color match was flawless and his finishing polish brought out a rich depth of color that defies description. Better pricing *and* better workmanship than any competition. If I lived in Austin, I would still drive here to have Robert and team work on my car. Make that Houston. I wish I had had better lighting and my big-girl camera with me for photos when they finished. Gil Auto *far* surpassed all my expectations.

    Had my chrome grille paint matched here. Within a day it was already peeling. You could easily see the prep was not don't properly. The chipped pieces expose the chrome that slightly looks sanded, no primer either. When I asked them about it they said it's normal. Don't waste your money here for paint work. They are no longer responding to me.

    Front left fender is good as new!

    My wife's 2018 Audi A5 Sportsback had a damaged front left fender. It had been scraped by another vehicle. Robert Gil, owner, was able to repair the damage in about 1 week at a fair price. My wife was thrilled with the results!

    Was looking for a place to work on my car that was close to work, reliable, and a good price. Robert at Gil's Auto Works turned out to be all three! They gave me a great quote and talked me through all they were going to do to my car. No false promises or trying to sell me on something I didn't want or need. Took my car in and got it done in a timely manner. Robert even sent me some great pictures showing me their progress with my car. (This has never been done by any body shop I've ever dealt with!) They did exactly what they said they were gonna do and did it exactly when they said they would. Professional experience from start to finish. Quality of their work was top notch. Extremely happy with the entire experience and will definitely be back for any future auto body needs. Thanks to Robert and his entire crew for all of their hard work!

    Perfection! What a beauty! 2007 Xterra

    I didn't know of a reputable body shop so I looked on Yelp! Found Gil's Auto Works with all good reviews. Went straight over as he's 4 miles away. Got a great quote and the job was done in 4 days to shorten my car rental days. I am totally impressed with the integrity of Robert, his employees and the quality of the work! Highly recommend this place! Thank you Robert

    Before/After

    Absolutely phenomenal work! I cannot even begin to express how impressed I am with the quality of the work done by Gil & his shop. My car faced considerable body damage to the driver rear door and fender - Enough damage that every single body shop I contacted told me it was irreparable and that I must purchase a new door. Ha! Gil had me send very detailed pictures and explained everything that must be done to rectify the damage. His quote was more than fair, especially because it immediately removed the cost of replacing my entire door. I didn't want to be without my car for long and expressed my desire to have this done quickly so Gil assured me he would have the car done in 3 days - which I didn't think was possible - but he somehow pulled it off. To my surprise, not only was it completed on time, but it looked brand new again and he even cleaned the car for me. I was blown away. The body work is impeccable, the paint a perfect color match, and the blending work done is exceptional. No one would ever know this car had considerable damage. I would recommend Gil's Auto Works to everyone I know. Thank you again!

    After repairs. Looks good as new!

    Robert was very prompt in getting me a quote and getting my car in the shop for collision repair. Within 4 days my car was in and out. He made sure he had a good # to txt me updates and He sent me pics of the process. He talked me thru everything he was going to do and by the end my car looked brand new. Can't beat the price, quality, and service of Gils auto shop.

    My car was damaged from the front end- looked like the bumper was going to completely fall off and the hood was slightly damaged as well (wish I would of saved the before pics) and Robert went above and beyond with working with my insurance to get me the best price and did an incredible job on fixing the front end of my Honda. He kept in contact with me & I am so happy my car looks better than it did when I first purchased it. I would definitely recommend him for anyone looking to get body work done on their vehicle.

    Those guys will beat any repair estimate in town. Plus, they have the best customer service skills. Had struts replaced on my car for fraction of the dealer's quote. Give them a call and you won't be disappointed!

Cinco de Mayo 2022 started with getting rear-ended and ended with getting things out of my truck at South Texas Collision Center LLC. It was the first time I had gone to them for work, and to be honest, I had just picked a shop close to my side of town that was on the tow truck driver's list. Regardless of the accident, working with these guys was AWESOME; South Texas Collision Center LLC completed the work in record time. I could get out of the horrible rental I had been driving. Quick story: People seem to judge body shops on timeliness, accuracy, attention to detail, etc. Everything must be perfect, and it is not, nor will it ever be. I say this because I still rated them five stars across the board despite minor issues after getting my vehicle back. Why? When I returned, the shop did not give an excuse; I got TOP quality customer service and a way forward to fix the minor issues. Customer service and work ratings should follow the whole person concept, including their work and customer service. Even when and if you must go back for any size issue. As I said, no one is perfect, and I was hesitant to mention that I had minor issues, but I was taken back by their attentiveness and quick answers. I had to mention it to illustrate how well they listen to their customers. I will most definitely go back if the need arises; I have never seen customer service like this in San Antonio in my whole 44 years of life.
