David Habu is a thief , a lier... him and his kids WILL DESTROY YOUR CAR, Lie about the work they…read moredid then have their two bit attorney call you with threats telling you to NEVER contact them again!! I was referred to PanelCraft by my mechanic who has had a life long relationship with this family. Once dropper my car off nothing felt right, Jordan the employee who works between both shop is overly eager to help and messes up communication every step of the way. David lies to your face telling your every story you might want to believe but in the end, NOTHING happens the way he say it will. Panel Craft had my car for 8 months, it sat at Berkeley in the back yard for 6 of those. Then Dave pawned the car off on his toxic AF daughter Brianna who screwed EVERYTHING UP! Along with his son Brendin who seems to think he knows what he's doing with cars has an attitude but can't seem to fit a bumper or read instructions to save his life' Once my car was transferred over to the Oakland shop without my approval I got a call from Brendin and Brianna ( they share the same brain) YELLING at me saying "we never wanted to work on this car to begin with!!" Crying like some spoiled child saying the rebar supplied for my bumper was a rear not a front - totally incorrect!! Brendin then starts in saying they can't fit the lip or bumper - So I take a day off of work to go down w/ my mechanic to go over the parts needed to be installed. Turns out it was a Seat lip that can be fit to the car but was in the wrong box. The correct lip was in a giant 42x24" box from Volkswagen that they never opened - along with the instructions for installing the bumper on the car w/ all needed parts outlined with part #'s and pictures !! The paint work was rushed! After getting the car back there's more scratches on areas they worked on but didn't paint ( inside door jams) and on the roof that were never there to begin with. They DESTROYED my interior- ripped my drivers seat , ripped a huge chunk of foam out of the inside, took interior panels off ( dead pedal foot rest) that didn't need to be removed and broke them in the process then used hot glue to try and fix them WITHOUT TELLING Me!! Upon time of delivery at another business shop on their property NOT PANEL CRAFT, Brianna openly accused me of insurance fraud in front of customers at this other business. Has continued to slander my name saying "we read this about Brad on the internet" But to the point - They never completed the work paid for by insurance on my car, damaged the car wile in their possession , lied about EVERYTHING!, left visible scratches under the clear coat in the repaired areas, lied some more!!, painted over accident damage and never really "repaired anything" then dumped the car at another business shop for assembly ! Then cut ties with that business as well and won't even look at their employees as they pass them on the freeway in traffic going to work!! This situation was completely brought on PanelCraft by their poor work quality, poor communication, inability to understand jobs or read instructions and generally are some of the most angry and toxic people over ever come in contact with!' Be warned this is a sinking ship that's ripping off their customers to say in business as long as they can !! Hi Dave !!

This business hardly needs my review, as they've been a trusted part of the community for most of my life. However, Jim and his crew at Hi-Tech exemplified exceptional customer service from the very beginning. They took the time to understand my project, addressed my questions thoroughly, and provided several options along with flexible scheduling to bring my truck in. When I mentioned that I would be out of town for a week, they were incredibly accommodating and simply reassured me that, "Your truck will be here when you're ready. It also gives us more time to make sure everything is done right" Their prices were reasonable, and the entire experience was seamless and professional. I highly recommend Hi-Tech to my friends and family and will certainly return for future work--or even just to stop by and say hello.

He did that whether or not I was going to use his shop. Family run. I have recommended them to friends and would use them again.

So when I…read morefound a replacement door (and hood, which only requires 4 screws to replace since the hinges stay intact) which matched my car's color, I excitedly called them back to see if they could do a swap for me again. I ended up having to call 3 times until I was able to speak with the owner Vahe (sp? ; I'm not sure if he's related to Raj, the previous owner apparently) who refused to give me an estimate over the phone and said he had to 'plug it into my estimate software.' After some additional quibbling, he finally told me that it would probably cost around $600-700 dollars. This amount of money for a simple door and hood swap is ridiculous! It's something I could do on my own time but I just don't live in a place that allows for mechanic work (apartment complex) or access to all the tools. I recall Raj was way nicer and professional about it rather than trying to sound like a used car salesman and sleaze their way into bringing my car to the shop (I would have to ask a friend to bring the spare parts to be swapped since they don't fit in my car, at which point would be difficult to decline the job). Really, really disappointed and I don't think I can recommend this place again. *Update* Very interesting that the owner chose to respond so quickly upon my updated review. Their claim was factually false, as reasons to bring in my car were never discussed over the phone and he repeatedly just stated that he would be plugging in and quoting me whatever his estimate software produced. In fact, they have a button where you can request an estimate right on their Yelp page which makes it even more unbelievable. Would re-iterate to avoid this place like the plague since the new owners obviously did not carryover the honest work from the previous ones.
