Had body work done after an accident and car came back like new considering it's 13 years old. Amazing

Hayes Auto Repair is fantastic! Have had 2 cars that received exterior repairs and the result is perfect. Joseph and Albert are wonderful to contact and work with in regards to the specific body repair needed and what is not needed and why. Excellent results with very fair pricing. Highly recommended. Thank You, both! read more

Hayes Auto Repair was a great experience! I had my car fixed there after an accident and was met with amazing customer service. Joseph was very communicative and really eased all my stress I had taking my car into the shop. I would recommend Hayes Auto Repair to my friends and appreciate the amazing service and hospitality from Joseph and Albert. No complaints! read more

I recently had an insurance repair done here after I was sideswiped and when I got my car back, it looked like I had just bought a new car. (Living in San Francisco I do not make any effort on maintaining the appearance of my car so as to not make it attractive to thieves.) Great job with the repairs and done in a very timely way. The staff are very friendly and helpful and I recommend this place highly. Its location is very convenient to bus lines as well. read more

THIS IS THE BEST PLACE. We are smart enough not to drive much in SF. We are old. Parking is difficult and expensive. So our car mostly sits unless we are going out of town. We do hook it up to a trickle charge but this time the trickle charger came undone and our 10 year old battery died and went to heaven. We had some contact with Joseph, the owner, years ago when he advised us that it would be unwise getting brakes and a clutch for our 1991 Miata. Thank you. Someone focused on what is wise for me. We got a newer car, a 2015 FIT, Steeler yellow. This time, we needed a battery. I priced them at the usual spots and even, at Joseph's suggestion, tried to price them at Costco. Hayes Auto Repair's price was lower and I was confident from our discussion that he would get me the right kind of battery for our car and our driving habits. Relatively speaking, it was a tiny sale. And Hayes Auto Repair always has tons of customers for repair and/or body work. But service is so friendly and efficient and most of all HONEST. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM. read more

Great honest fast and fair! Highly recommend this place. Very reputable as well my old boss used this place 30 yrs ago. read more

Great shop. Super fast, did great work, took care of everything insurance-wise. Very happy w service.

Amazing auto repair shop. We've had them do two auto repairs and one other maintenance item over the past year and have been pleasantly surprised by both the quality of work, service and speed. We aided them through Geico's network of repair shops and were very pleased with everything from start to finish, including providing regular updates of the repair daily. Will be coming back here for any future needs. read more

Absolutely outstanding experience with Albert and his team. Hayes Auto repair shop helped me fix up a broken front bumper and grill. They helped take care of all the paperwork with the insurance company making the entire process far less stressful than I expected after getting in a weird accident where the person backed up into me while I was stopped. Three major things to point out - 1) The quality of the workmanship was top notch. Attention to detail was perfect - no panel gaps, paint matched, perfect replacement with materials 2) Albert was willing to go above and beyond - I had a specific bumper that was not quite OEM and Albert researched all the parts to replace it the exact way that I wanted even though it was more work. He blew me away with his customer service 3) Appreciate being able to trust the team - I've heard all sorts of nightmare stories of auto body shops doing weird stuff to take advantage of situations, but Hayes Auto repair was incredibly fair, honest, and reasonable. Their prices/value are excellent given the quality of their work and Albert checked in with me on each step of the way to make sure I was good with decisions he had to make. Thank you so much Albert and Hayes Auto! I hope I never need their services again, but I could not more adamantly recommend this company if you need auto body repairs! read more

Hayes Auto Repair is the gold standard for auto repair shops bar none in San Francisco. Joseph has accommodated my 85 year old grandfather in law and my 27 year old son and me for all of our car repair needs for over the last 20 years. He's trustworthy, knowledgeable and honest when dealing with his customers. Their finished product and work makes you feel like your driving a new car again! For a fullfilling and satisfactory outcome for a disappointing situation, Hayes Auto Repair will get you back to smiling again in short oder! Bobby L. read more

Easy to work with. No BS in estimates and solid looking body work on my vehicle. Also worth mentioning that they finished on time which is import if car dependent read more

Phenomenal experience with Hayes Auto. Someone scraped the front of my car pretty badly and I needed to get it fixed up. They were impeccably responsive, friendly and effective the entire way through the process, and they coordinated seamlessly with insurance. I don't really ever write reviews on here, but this shop did such a great job that I fired up the app to make sure everyone knows they can trust their car in their hands. 10/10 would return. read more

I am writing to express my sincere appreciation for the exceptional service I received recently. I now understand why Hayes Auto Repair have earned so much positive feedback from their customers. My 2017 Toyota Prius was having trouble passing a smog test due to an illuminated engine check light. I initially took it to a Toyota dealer in San Francisco, where I was charged a $270 "diagnosis fee" only to be given an outrageous quote to replace the entire grill shutter. Seeking a second opinion, I randomly called several auto repair shops and fortunately found Hayes Auto Repair. From the moment I spoke with Joe, he was incredibly helpful. He patiently explained the issues with my Prius, guided me through the repair procedures with an illustration, and clearly understood my concerns about the repair cost. He provided a transparent quotation before any work began. Approximately an hour after I dropped off my car, Joe called to inform me he had identified the problem: a motor attached to the grill shutter. The very next day, my car was fully repaired without needing to replace the entire grill shutter. Hayes Auto Repair fixed my car for less than a quarter of the price quoted by San Francisco Toyota. I truly felt that Joe treated me with sincerity and professionalism. I am absolutely positive that I will return to Hayes Auto Repair for any future car service needs. read more

The only body shop I ever want to work with. Albert helped me fix my car after a bad experience at a different shop (which I won't name but is also in the city). I couldn't find them in the list of shops on my insurance's website but they do take my insurance company (nationwide brand with an animal mascot). Thank you Albert! So happy with the result. Paint looked amazing. An ethical body shop with honest owners. read more

Wow. I took my 20 year old city driver in to replace a fender liner and remove a nasty dent in the hood that was affecting the hood latch. They repaired it so fast I was shocked. It seems that they look after a wide variety of cars. I saw they were working on some very beautiful cars and addition to my beat up city car haha. They gave recommendations based on my needs (prioritize safety, minimize cost, minimize cosmetic concerns) and definitely delivered. 100% recommend read more

Had to have the driver's side door and fender dents removed and repainted... Joseph, Albert and Raymond all looked at the car and fixed a minor item as well... Done on time and done well. Very happy with the result and service! read more

Amazing service that is top tier professional and thoughtful. You can tell right away that the people here care. Highly recommend.

Helped and answered questions about vandalism repair and expectations with auto insurance and timeline to get my car back. Planning on taking another car here based off of the first experience. read more

Alberto and Joseph are great to deal with and will take care of you. Repeat customer after terrible experiences elsewhere, won't be going anywhere else! read more

Joe and albert are the best . been going there for many years. always top quality work and fair price.

I've been taking my cars here for years and I cannot be more satisfied with their service. I've taken my cars here for issues ranging from preventative maintenance (e.g. oil changes) to body work (broken mirrors, dents, etc.). I've always been happy with their work and they will continue to get my business! read more

This was my 2nd time using Hayes Auto Repair. A different car this time, on which I wanted the faded paint on the side roof panels of the convertible top fixed. Result: Just wow!!!! Continues to Exceed Expectations! Though the plan was to have the panels re-painted, the owner surprised me and ordered and installed NEW panels and didn't charge me anything extra. I knew they'd do a great job, but this was definitely above and beyond! read more

Hayes Auto was the auto shop that Geico recommended to me after my car accident. They are incredibly responsive and reliable. Joseph and Albert are great. They made sure to answer all of my questions and kept me updated. They also worked with Enterprise on my behalf which made the whole process very easy. Would highly recommend Hayes Auto read more

These guys are great! Alpert negotiated a new rear bumper when insurance just wanted to pay to pop the dent out. Repair was done two days before schedule. Polite, transparent and honest professionals read more

Take your car here. Albert is awesome. Very helpful, smart, and great to work with. He even had our car cleaned before we picked it up. 10/10 recommend! read more

I can't recommend Hayes Auto enough to anyone in the city in need of car services. Albert is so helpful, and does whatever he can within his bandwidth to take on a cars needs. He's been a lifesaver to me several times now when my car was in need of quick/unexpected service. One thing that I really appreciate about Hayes Auto Repair, is that if the request is not doable due to their availability, or it is not a service they provide, Albert will make a point to send me in the direction of someone he recommends that can help me with my exact request. read more

Haye's auto repair went above and beyond to repair my car in a timely manner. Joseph is super responsive and will make sure you are satisfied with their service! Every other auto body shop I contacted in SF at the time had a huge backlog and was not able to take my undrivable car in, but Joseph was able to squeeze me in almost immediately. He had the parts ordered early to ensure there were no delays (since a lot of parts were also backordered), and had my car done before other shops would even take a look at it. I was very impressed by the turnaround speed - and this was not an easy repair (door replacement with paint touch up on panels and trim replacement). When the repair was done, everything looked good. They did a great job with paint matching (it's pretty much unnoticeable), and the car looks good as new. Joseph will make sure all the paperwork and back/forth with insurance is handled for you, and I also appreciated that he encourages his customers to text him with any questions / communication that's needed. Overall, definitely 5/5 stars and I would come back if I ever need body repair work done again. Thank you Hayes Auto Repair! read more

These guys are fabulous! Totally ethical, absolutely fair. They are great mechanics and do great body work. I've been going to them for about 20 years, maybe more, and at this point I don't want anyone else to work on my car. I have recommended them to others who were very pleased with their work. They have advised me to refrain from having work done because it wasn't really worth it (it was on an older car). And that's just one example. I can't recommend this shop highly enough. read more

I could not say enough nice things about the team here. Went with them because they were a preferred shop with Geico and they blew me away. Fair pricing, super high quality work, timely as can be, and most of all, NICE FRIENDLY PEOPLE. Getting your car repaired can be a drag but I know where to go next time to avoid that experience. Thank you! read more

WOW...is an understatement. Finding a solid body shop is hard regardless of where you live, let alone in SF. Joe and his crew have an insane attention to detail and go above and beyond. I normally find myself combing through the final product and picking out multiple flaws/errors. Wasn't the case at Hayes. Couldn't find a flaw if I tried and that's a really good feeling! I've tried for years to find a shop that I could trust and actually wanted to return to after the first job. Finally found it. Give Hayes Auto Repair a shot and you will be very glad you did! read more

An amazing auto repair shop! from start to finish a top notch experience. from the initial assessment to getting my car back was so fast was unbelievable. the service went above and beyond my expectations. kudos to joseph, albert, and the rest of the team. my car looks like the day i bought - pristine, shiny, and clean. THANK YOU Hayes Auto Repair! read more

2nd amazing experience at Hayes We had previously had a fantastic experience with Joseph at Hayes so we came back to him recently when the hinge on the tailgate of our BMW broke. Not only did he and his team do a great job with the repairs, he also advised us on how to work with the insurance company to make sure the claim wouldn't impact our premium. On top of that, when we picked up the car he gave us a generous discount when he noticed we were expecting a baby. We hope we won't need much more auto body work, but if we do we will be coming back to Joseph at Hayes auto. read more

Do you notice a trend in these reviews for Hayes Auto Repair? There's a good reason why they sound so similar: customer service that exceeds expectations! I don't think I can add anything that hasn't been said by others. If you want to support a business that takes pride in doing things right, and treating their customers well, give Joe Ng and his crew your business! I needed some body work done and gave Joe a call. The same day I got a prompt and reasonable estimate, then received a call the following week from Joe, telling me my parts were in and he was ready. A few days later I got my car back looking like new, and beautifully cleaned and polished too. I was happy with my experience and will be coming back whenever I need some body work. read more

great guys who really want you to have as good an experience as is possible after messing up your beloved chariot - they did a wonderful job on 2 scrapes so even without replacing a lot of panels, the car looks 99% new again - they definitely understand about living on a budget and yes they do clean your car inside and out so it looks beautiful read more

Ladies, if you are looking for an honest and reliable place to get your car worked on, Hayes Auto Repair is it. All I can say is WOW, WOW, WOW....and add 10 stars more! Due to covid we decided to go down to one car, which is a 1999 Mazda Miata...or Mazdarati to us. Now that this was to be our primary mode of transport, we decided to address the nonfunctioning driver's side electric window and the worn brakes. It also has some creaks and noises that we never had investigated. We drove it when absolutely necessary, and kept the AAA card handy, just in case. I called around to several shops to learn what their process was to diagnose the problems. ALL the other shops I called wanted + $150 just to tell me what was wrong with it. Hayes was the only shop that said the diagnostic fee would be put towards the repair. Had it been only mechanical, there would be no fee. Of the 4 phone calls that I made to Hayes in advance of bringing my car in, I was always treated with kindness and patience. When I dropped the car off, I let the owner know that I wasn't employed at the moment, and would be happy to go with used parts if that would save us money. We just needed to be sure the car was safe and functional for a year. Joe searched and found the part for half of what a new one would cost. He also explained everything in great detail and even sent photos of everything they found. When he called with the full diagnostics and prices, we weren't sure what to get fixed. Joe said "If it was my car, this is what I would get done and why." I felt like my brother was advising me. What a great feeling! When we went to pick up the car, it was cleaned from top to bottom, including removing the rust from the tire rims. I didn't even recognize my own car! There were many other kind gestures and considerations, but my review is already long enough. I have never been so pleased and relieved. Thanks again Joe - we will be back and will tell everyone about your great establishment. read more

Joseph Ng did another five-star repair on our vintage Volvo. He made our car look new. Angelo & Roanne Tom

Amazing job! Fast and best deal in Pacific Heights with great customer service. After hearing the cost from my dealer, I waited several months and was referred to Joseph and his team. On short notice he saw me and gave a quote which was significantly lower than I had been quoted by my dealer. The damage was a small cosmetic fix but complex my car has an unusual style. It didn't faze them. We waited a couple days for them to order my special paint color. In basically a day and a half it was done! As you can see from the end result, Herbie looks good as new! The fix was fast and the quality is exceptional!! Highly recommend read more

I got hit and run while my car was parked on the street. I'm glad my insurance, Geico, is partnered with Hayes Auto Repair. I searched this place on Yelp and I see a lot of great reviews that's why I chose them. And I have nothing but very positive things to say. My car came out like a brandnew after they repaired it. The owner, Joe, is amazing and super nice guy. He even offered to change my oil. Hands down to their service! Highly recommended! read more
