Shout out to John and Great American Auto, they are the best body shop in Burbank, not only they do an amazing job, but have had my business for many years. I believe they have been around since the mid 80's, always cordial and professional, and one of few places that will repair not just replace parts, doesn't matter if you are a journeyman, a celebrity, or a fleet car from the distinguished Burbank police. Fast, efficient, honest, and very professional, and judging by the long list of A list celebrities that have trusted them with exotic and antique collector's cars, they are in a class of their own. I should have probably written this review long ago, for years I've been bringing my cars for bodywork, the paint quality is second to none, absolutely, no orange peel, no imperfections, always willing to help, doesn't matter if it's a minor paint job or complete frame-off restoration. read more

Great American Auto Center - Body Shops Near Me - Burbank, California

After a pole jumped out at me in Sherman Oaks and damaged my Audi's passenger side front-end, I was a sad guy indeed. Audi repairs are no joke! While getting my tires checked out at Western Tire on Victory (ten stars), I asked for a body shop referral. No hesitation there and I was off to Great American on Burbank Boulevard. Best move ever. Hats off to John (owner) and George (head honcho) for their exceptional service! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with professionalism and a genuine willingness to help. Knowing that I would be a cash customer, both gents went out of their way to find like-new parts and in the process saved me about $2500. I knew that my beloved Audi was in capable hands. Throughout the repair process, the communication was top-notch. I was kept informed every step of the way, from the initial assessment to the final touches. The team at Great American Auto Center went above and beyond to ensure that my Audi was restored to its former glory, and the results were simply outstanding. Not only did they repair the body damage flawlessly, but they also took the time to address other minor issues to ensure my car was in pristine condition. The attention to detail and commitment to customer satisfaction truly sets them apart. Honestly, the Audi looks like new. The quality of their workmanship speaks volumes, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Great American Auto Center to anyone in need of auto repair services in Burbank. Thank you John and George! You've earned a customer for life! read more

Recommended by my neighbor after a distracted driver left a nasty dent in the drivers side wheel well, John and George went out of their way to take care of my beloved old Lexus RX300. Not only did they do a fantastic job on the repair, they replaced the old faded grill and it looks like they buffed out the cloudy old headlight covers while they were at it! Great honest service, super friendly, and they really seem to love what they do and value their customers. 100% will recommend to anyone needing service. read more

They are amazing! I will forever take my vehicles to these guys! Cannot recommend them enough!! Thanks Guys!! read more

I stopped by today to get a quote on something and I totally see why this place has such stellar reviews. John, the owner, was so unbelievably helpful and kind and he seems like a really good guy. Also, the price he quoted was extremely reasonable and he even helped me out with a temporary fix until I can get back in to complete the job. Thankful to have found this place! read more

My experience having my 2022 Highlander Hydrid's crushed front bumper replaced with perfectly matched paint was excellent. I could not have asked for better work. George and John were patient, gracious, efficient and most importantly fair and honest. I will highly recommend them to anyone, just as the folks at Karsten Imports recommended them to me! Well done and thanks! read more

While I was sitting at a red light, a truck from the oncoming traffic hit me and destroyed my driver's side mirror. I was scrambling to find somewhere to fix it quickly as I couldn't use it anymore. Thankfully I found Great American Auto Center. George and his team did a phenonemal job replacing my mirror! If you are in need of a great body shop with excellent service and great value, I would look no where else other than Great American. Thank you George and your team! read more

Took my Fiat to these guys , not only did it come back looking better than the day I drove it off the showroom floor they fixed a few things that needed done that they didn't have to at no charge! All this for a great price! Highly recommended this shop! read more

I came in a couple days ago with my air bag light on and they were able to fix it super quick! Really comforting to have the peace of mind of getting something taken care of by people who are kind and knowledgeable. read more

I got my green Nissan in GAAC for a rear damaged door and a scratched front bumper. I was mostly concerned about their ability to match the uncommon color of my car, and to blend in between the existing and new paint without making it obvious (I've seen bad repaint job done on other cars not handled by GAAC). With some minor delay due to their busy schedule, I can tell you that the wait was all worth it... The car looks so brand new I'm now afraid to drive it and ruin their beautiful work! PS: shout out to Owner John and manager George who've been caring and responsive, and obviously to an extremely skillful staff! read more

I recommended Great American to a friend and he also had a great experience with this body shop. They did an excellent job on a small repair and went above and beyond for him. Again, the price was fair and they were as friendly and prompt as before with me. I will keep recommending this shop because they do a great job, price the work fairly and are very nice people who treat their customers right. read more

Two-year update Two years ago, I took my car to Great American Auto Service Center for body work and paint job. As I mentioned in my previous review, I was very pleased with the work they had done. The body work and the paint job were excellent. My twenty-year Corolla looked like new. But there always be sceptics who will question the state of the paint after 6 months. That is why I want to update the quility of the paint after two years. The qulity of the paint is in excellent shape, there are no loss of gloss, peeling, chalking, cracking or wrinkling. It looks like the day I picked up my car. Thanks again for the great service! read more

Fantastic body work on my Sonata. Was rear ended and crunched up to back glass. The car looked brand new when done! Thanks George and all that helped on this repair! read more

This was by far the best experience in getting my auto body work done. This team was outstanding. Not only did my car look brand new, but the service, friendliness and value was A rated. I will recommend them to everyone! read more

Great customer service Great people in general that do great work Highly recommended place to go. read more

Wow! Amazing experience!! My bumper fell off and I lost the grill and it was a whole mess. I received a recommendation from Ephraim at Mountain-view tire and service inc. to bring my car to Great American. I am so happy I did. We received quotes from three different places and Great American gave us the fastest quote (George-manager/ appraiser, throughly looked at the car and had our quote in about 5 minutes) and also the best price. It was fixed so quickly and the owner, John even waited up for us because we were a little late on the pickup. Overall, if you need a collision recommendation, I cannot say enough good things about Great American Auto Center!! Thank you guys so much! If we ever need body work, I will 100% be back. read more

This place took the time to diagnose my window problems and ordered the parts needed to fix my car when two other places gave me insane quotes and weren't helpful at all. The guys here are very friendly and helpful. I couldn't recommend this place enough! read more

Everyone here is very friendly. They made me feel welcome and like I was in good hands. They repaired damage to my bumper and they made my car look good as new! They even cleaned the outside and inside of my car! read more

My car was rear-ended and had significant damage. I researched several auto body shops and feel comfortable using GAAC after meeting owner John and manager George in person. They are both amazing people who took the extra steps in making sure my car looked good as new again. They took care of all the paperwork with the insurance company and the repairs were not only done efficiently but most importantly professionally! I have gone to several auto body shops in the past and GAAC is definitely the best of the best - and it's not even close! I will be recommending all my family/friends/associates to them for any auto body vehicle repairs in the future. 5 STARS ALL THE WAY AROUND!!! read more

I highly Truly recommend Great American Auto Center!! Amazing Service and Excellent customer Service. Thank you Great American Auto Center for your Amazing work!! read more

In hindsight, I'm very disappointed in the quality of work performed by this shop in the restoration of my 1973 VW several years ago. I paid around $7k for a strip down, primer and paint with some body repair. Having never done this, I will admit to being naive about restoration work. Years later and learning a lot more, I realize what a poor job that was performed. I'm living in Reno now and I have several professional bug shops and they all point out what a crappy paint job I paid too much for. Paint and primer choices resulted in bad bubbling on the hood and wheel wells, was not stripped down to metal on the interior, original color is peeping through in places. While John said he addressed the bubbling on the hood by repainting, the 3rd time it happened now, it's obvious there's a primer reaction that keeps happening. I'm bringing this up now because I'm now looking at having the paint fixed and the costs involved vs what I paid shows that I was overcharged for the quality and lack of attention to detail. They probably do fine insurance work. But I do not endorse them for quality paint work on classic cars, regardless of their historical work. read more

If you need body work done on your vehicle this is the place to go! Professional, honest and reliable. John, George and the staff are a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend them. read more

I unfortunately ran into a cement pole with my car a few weeks ago which resulted in a crunched fender and other parts of my car. My husband recommended Great American to me. He was very pleased with their quality of work and customer service when they did body work repair to his car. I had a meeting with George and arranged for my car to be dropped off. I picked it up yesterday and was delighted what a great a job that they did. My car was shiny and new! You would never know that the car was damaged at all. It felt so good driving it home. I would highly recommend John and George at Great American. They are experts in their field and are personable and knowledgeable to work with. read more

Prompt servicing. Professional. Fair pricing. Car looked like new! Had bumper and bracket replacement.

Recently, someone sideswiped my car, and agreed to pay for it directly rather than going through insurance. I was recommended to great American by my mechanic. They did great work at a fair price and took care of everything. They help to set me up with a rental car and dealt directly with the other party to get payment. I highly recommend George and John.. 2 Thumbs Way up read more

I had a small job to do and they were very nice, prompt and did great work. No complaints! I would come back again to get an estimate for a larger job, if needed. They seem trustworthy! Give 'em a shot. read more

I wish I can give them five stars. The process and work to my car was great, but they don't even put cardboard or plastic from ruining my interior of my car. It's just common sense to cover the car when dealing with paint. They also got paint on my door handle. read more

I highly recommend their service, truly the best experience of this type I have ever had, and I have had a few : ) read more

Living in Los Angeles it is often difficult to find people you can trust to work on your vehicle. These guys made my life a million times easier. I couldn't be any happier I found them.
