    I swear the car was fine when I pulled into the Walgreens parking lot in Hayward but when I came out to start the car and leave, it was a no-go situation. Called AAA and up drove Mow K.! He was kind, efficient, paid attention to the best way to pull the car onto the bed as to not create more disruption than necessary for the other patrons driving into the lot. Once noting where we were having it towed to, he asked if we were happy with them and truth be told, not really. He then suggested a great place just 4 minutes away. Called for us and before we knew it, we were being cared for by an equally kind and efficient mechanic! Hopefully I will be able to give the same 5 start review for them! Thanks Moe!

    10 STARS! If you're…read morelooking for something more than just a business that will deal with you, but more like a family or friend that takes care of you and will hook you up specially treating you like it's personal, this place is what you want! I had a minor incident that left considerable scratches, markings, and a small dent or two on my 2026 Toyota Grand Highlander (not white). I dropped by just to get an estimate, and even though I didn't make an appointment, Elias was cool & considerate enough to still take me and checked it out. Where one collision repair shop in Fruitvale estimated $1800 (to take the whole panel off and work it), and another in Hayward estimated over $500, Elias hooked me up with the MOST unbelievable subtracting discount! I think & imagine I would only see something reserved to be offered in that degree given to a business owners' personal family or friends! To add to the exceptional, he and his guy offered to take care of me right there and then even though it was the late in the day (and it's not like I didn't see other cars being worked on too). I waited with him in his office, and we were just shooting the breeze. Elias is just the coolest, chillest, most laid back, most personable guy. A guy that's eager to do you a favor, do what he can for you; completely why you can see how I described him/them as an establishment/person that will treat & take care of you like a family or friend. And if you are big dog lover like I am, there's a bonus with his office/business, and I loved hanging out with him and his dog (I think his name was Jake). That dog is just a big teddy bear that just wants your attention and to play with you. In the end, for what he offered to do it for and considering it was just what they were able to fit in late in the day, I would say it got back to 98% there (so much so I even offered to give more $, which he wouldn't take [would only accept this Yelp review and pets to the dog]). To the extent that when I very apprehensively/fearfully showed it to my very scrutinizing-type wife, she accepted it and even took to it without having me take it back and get any more work done (to complete it by the last 2 percent; get it to the full 100%)! This goes to show that this place is as surprisingly impressive and proficient as I was surprised by my very scrutinizing wife's acceptance & approval. Couple notes about this place -- try not to park in the back, they do work there with cars coming in & out (it's not just for temporarily placing cars like I thought haha); just park in front of the garage opening (he prefers it right outside his office to see what has to be done). Also, as mentioned before, it's best to make an appointment even for an estimate. Elias (and Jake[?]) and his guy (I really wish I got his name; because I highly doubt I would've gotten such an awesome outcome if he wasn't willing as well) are the best! I can't imagine finding a cooler, most considerate guy in this. He/They did it with such quality work (look at my other estimates & what it would take) where I'm off the hook with my rather scrutinizing wife, and he/they did me the hugest favor with what he/they offered to do it for (that I imagine like only reserved for family or friends), I'm sure he'd treat & do the same for you or anybody.

    I had an amazing experience with Reliance in handling my auto accident. They not only gave me a…read morevery accurate inspection and estimate but also made sure to help me handle all issues with the inquiry. They truly are amazing people. Working with Elias and his brother along with their team is top tier - definitely recommend going here.

    My mom's Accord had accumulated years of side-swipes and fender benders, and she wanted to have it…read moreall finally fixed. It was all going to be out of pocket. I used yelp's "Get Pricing" quote tabs is collect some quotes. Most shops responded by telling me to come in, so they could give me an estimate. Not even a ball park figure. Um, why did I go to all the trouble of taking 5 clear shots of all the work I needed and including a concise description of exactly what I wanted to be done only to still have to come in for the quote? I mean why offer the quote option at all? So only a few places actually sent me quotes. Those are the only ones I engaged. Thankfully, one of them was Bay Colors Refinishing. Their quote of $3000 was the lowest, tied with another shop. The others were $3500 and above. I decided that it would be between Bay Colors and the other shop since they offered the same price and both averaged 5 star reviews. So I took it to both of them to get estimates based on actual visuals. Really, who has the time and trunkloads of gas money to go to all these other quote-less guys? I went to Bay Colors first. Kathy who handled communication was great. Always prompt and friendly. When I got there, the owner, Tri (like in tree) was under a car doing work, but soon stopped just so that I could get the estimate quickly. He said he would honor the quote of $3000. I was pleasantly surprised he was actually willing to straight honor the quote! I drove to the other place. The guy making the assessment quoted $4700! I almost laughed, but bit my tongue to be nice because at least he had let me use their restroom. As I was quietly and hastily side-stepping back to my car, he saw I was trying to escape, and quickly said, 'How much were you looking for?" Me: "Um, $3000..." Him: Silence. I would've burned rubber out if there, but didn't want to push the Honda's older engine. I also wanted to rush home to check the mirror to see if my smile was somehow seriously betraying a gullible-fool face. I mean how do you hike it up $1,700?? Even if you were thinking you were willing to come down half of that during bargaining, do you really believe I would accept $850 over the online quote?? Not to self: Adjust smile to look more intimidating and less moronic. (If you want to know the name of the shop, message me. I didn't actually use their services, so I don't feel like calling them out.) Another thing I also appreciated about Bay Colors is that after bringing my car in, Tri did find things that could have legitimately hiked up the price. But he said even with the extra work, he would stick to the quote. I got the sense that he truly wanted to help take care of me and my car, not just rack up a quick buck. So I chose Bay Colors and eventually dropped the car off there. When I was about to leave Kathy asked me how I was getting back home. I told her I would be BARTing back to Oakland. They ended up calling and paying for an uber to take me to the BART station! One of the best customer service experiences of any kind I've ever had. After a few days, I went to pick up the car and it looked great! I did notice that the hood still didn't completely close all the way as I had mentioned when I first brought it in and pointed it out to Tri again. He soon went to work on it quickly, and made sure it closed right. On top of that they had even meticulously vacuumed the interior! I'm really glad I chose Bay Colors. Even though it's in Hayward, and I had to BART down from Oakland, it was definitely worth the trip!

I reached out to a local Bay Color Refinishing Auto-body shop being all stressed and worried I was surprised by how easy it was to make an appointment. Kathy took the time to explain everything and assured me that the spoiler would be as it originally was. I would like to mention I did take it to another detailer right after the incident and wasn't happy of the quality of work. After some online research I spoke to Kathy over the phone she was incredibly helpful and professional throughout the entire process. They took my car in, and within just five days, I had my car back with a brand-new spoiler that was perfectly matched to the original paint. Like WOW!!!! The quality of the repair was outstanding, and the service I received was excellent from start to finish. I'm especially grateful to Guy, the office team manager, for ensuring everything went smoothly and stress-free. Thank you again for the fantastic service! Will I be back, yes and would I recommend Kathy and team defiantly. My husband took a picture with the man with the magic hands.

    I was pretty frustrated with a recent accident that I was involved in. Luckily, the person that hit…read moreme had insurance and had admitted fault. Allstate insurance was the party's carrier and they were really easy to deal with and provided me with a rental. Off to a good start! I had to take a day off just to get estimates and get a feel for who would be repairing my beloved little Honda commuter. I'm pretty picky with who works on my cars and want to be able to have a sense of trust and calmness. So i shopped around at nearby auto body shops near Antioch area where Im staying but didn't get a good vibe with the staff that were helping me with estimates and explaining the overall process. I decided to have Garage Works work on my car because he's conveniently close by my job and I've never had any complaints or bad experiences working with him in the years ago. Back in 2010, he painted my 64ss Impala when someone hit me. A lot of the hot rod community referred me to him as he really does great repairs/paint. Then last year, I got rearended and the tow truck even recommended him! I want to be able to have peace of mind and know that he guarantees his work and level of quality and craftsmanship that Linh produces is remarkable. You can tell a lot of car owners with very expensive high and vehicles trust him just by walking into his shop and seeing all the projects lined up in the parking lot. You can find majority of really old school all American hot rods and 140-1960's classics as well as High-End European and Japanese show cars. What I appreciate the most is Linh treats all the cars just as equal, even my little 2012 Honda CRZ commuter! He also walks me through the process and explains in detail what needs to be done in order for the car to be properly repaired & painted. He said that there are cheap ways to repair that are not recommended and there's the correct way to Repair so that the customer is happy and no issues later down the road. I like that he has the mentality of replacing parts instead of putting a bunch of Bondo and pulling dents out.I walk away with peace of mind after handing him the keys. Something pretty rare a customer feels especially With anything car related whether it's a mechanic, paint shop or collision repair. There is good energy and a positive vibe when dealing with great business is like this. Keep up the great work!

    Rating: 4.5 stars…read more This little place is hidden in the BACK of an alleyway in Hayward! I guess you can call it a hidden gem. It's so hidden, I had to circle about 5 times until I found it! I was about to give up on my third try but I thought "I already wasted gas circling, so mind as well try to get in...." (Pics for alleyway/location) Also, they don't have a sign on the shop itself except for the outside, so it might be a bit "hard" to find/notice. Just know it's the last place in the back of the alleyway with a lot of cars in the process of getting repaired. When I drove in, I felt a bit intimidated but don't worry, the guys are nice! I came here for an EXTERIOR car wash and the outcome of it was great! I think I had fallen in love with my car again because whenever I touched it, it just felt so.. smooooth! I noticed he didn't wash my rims but for the price of $10, I think it's a steal! My car wash took about 20 mins and there is free WiFi in the waiting area. The waiting area is kinda dim but it's very clean and there are also magazines that you can read while you wait too! I would definitely come back and recommend to friends. :)
