    Before

    Came in after I was hit on the highway. Couldn't even open my driver door and I showed up for an estimate and they offered to help my door open in the meantime free of charge. They kept me in the loop about the parts arriving and had an unbeatable price! Not to mention, the service was quick once the parts arrived. These people are honest workers and I'd recommend anyone to come here. Thanks Kwans for making my car look brand new again!

    It was my first time going to an auto body shop; I was very nervous. I took my car in for a rust removal assessment as I had a rusty hole growing over the passenger seat and it was traveling do the door frame, so it was structural damage possibly. My guy friends told me auto body/rust jobs are the most expensive and with a truck of my age, I was best off buying a new truck! But i'm sentimental. Martin assessed rust removal on my truck in person. We talked about what I felt I needed, that they'd have to cut out the rust areas. I also wanted to know if they saw future issues anywhere else. Martin was straightforward with what he saw, predictions of where the rust may travel, what definitely needed to be done, what I had time to wait on and shop time. One rust area was young but the back seat glass was involved. He advised it as an area to consider seeing as they were going to repaint my entire roof anyways. Martin said they don't handle glass and would have to send it out to a partner shop they work with that does good work. Reasonable price. It gave peace of mind they work with other experts so that I'm getting the best but cost-conscious service. I liked that he wasn't salesy. By the time I got home, an email quote was in my mailbox: what they'd do in item detail with cost. Easy to understand for a car owner with no knowledge of how autobody shops work. Kwan's Auto Body shop's quote was super reasonable. I mean, the rust could've really traveled when you look under the hood so I was worried the cost could change in a big way, but they assured me that was the cost. It was affordable and fair! Picked her up in four days (timeline was not important to me; I wanted it done well) - she was like BRAND NEW. I was SHOCKED! The paint color matched my truck and my roof cab looked like new! Showed me photos of the rust damage they saw, what they carved out and did. The small rust didn't show to the visible eye but it was spreading "under" the rubber to the glass . I'm soooo glad I listened to Martin's assessment and got that additional spot done. When I think of : - all the structural rust they cut out - the partial structural damage that had to be rebuilt - the additional rust spot that was secretly SPREADING (that I didn't know about) - the fact I've now ALSO got an entirely brand new-looking roof which I didn't count on (TBH, the old one was faded, weathered & lost its sheen) - I didn't have to buy a NEW truck because my old one has been saved I feel like I got a freaking PHENOMENAL DEAL, where I actually SAVED MONEY getting the work done. Thank you, thank you, thank you.. Martin and Kwan's Auto Body! You guys made everything so easy. You are my rust removal experts and I'll be coming back.

    Martha M. Martin and his crew are the best ! I needed front bumper repair on my 2024 Mazda 3 . I took it to Kwans on recommendation from a friend. A very smooth and professional experience. No hassle, no runaround , Free and fair estimat given on the same day I took it in. Scheduled a date, and work was done as agreed. I was so happy with the results !! The paint was perfectly matched , looked brand new again, like the damage never happened ! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Kwans Auto Body and Paint.

    Great work , value and service. I scraped my 2 month old beloved Prius against a concrete pillar backing out of the parking space in my building garage. Concrete Pillar 1 Beloved Prius 0 Called a handful of body repair shops in the town area. One never answered or responded to my message. One took 3 days to respond. One told me my side mirror is a specialty item and couldn't guarantee if he could get it within a few weeks and he also gave the impression that the process of working with my insurance company could drag on. I asked if I could pay him directly then have the insurance company reimburse me. He said no and that he needed to work with and bill the insurance company directly. NOT TRUE. Then there was Martin at Kwan's Auto... He answered the phone, asked me to drive by and let him look at the car. Upon inspection, he gave me a quote of about $1,400 which was about $365 below the estimate from my insurance of $1,735. Made an appointment with Martin , and as promised, 4 days later, the repairs were completed and the charge was $1,435. Paid with my credit card and by that time, Liberty Mutual had already mailed me a check for $1,235 - $500 deductible = $1,735 estimate. I really appreciated Martin's friendly, low key, honest, no drama approach. I couldn't be happier with the repairs. The car looks as good as new and they even washed it. Martin said his workers have been with him for 30* years and were very experienced. Pro tip : Expect about a 2 week wait before they can take your car. This is pretty much the standard wait time with the body shops in town.

    Worked within my budget, they had a part in stock so was done in 3 days.

    Has to be Martin (English/Chinese-speaking, I believe he is one of the owners) and Han (Some English, I believe he is the shop manager, his son is Tyler), for the real information. Those 2 are the ones who are consistently there and give honest feedback. I'm a repeat satisfied customer, just got my car back today, beyond great results. Almost skipped them this time, due to in 2020 there was a stranger there who didn't behave in the genuine manner that I am accustomed to from them, not sure who that man was (Only English-speaking), never saw him before and didn't see him this time. Another place asked for $50 to do an estimate, but Martin did a free same-day estimate with a drop off spot open in a few days, instead of a month or two at the other place.

    This review is being posted PRIOR to the work being completed on my vehicle…read more Im leaving the review with the disclaimer, that it may change. Only reason that im leaving it early is because so far, ive gotten amazing service. I am leaving a review for Mazda as well. My car is currently being worked on by SH Fender in Kaka'ako. I drive a Mazda SUV, newer model. I noticed the the roof had some bubbling happening. If you know anything about paint, you know that bubbling can only mean that you'll be in a world of debt if you let it keep going. Now, being that my car is newer, I was shocked to see the paint and roof already starting to rust. I dont take my car to the beach. I dont park at construction sites. I dont throw bird poop at it. Luckily for me, this job is being covered by the paint warranty offered by Mazda. Go me! Anyway, I dropped my car off at Mazda and it was quick to head over to SH. SH was also quick to start it -- I know this because on the same day, I got a call requesting for the key to remove my roof racks (that I stupidly forgot to hand over). That being said, after doing some research, I was super happy that SH was responsible for my car since they have excellent reviews and a friend of mine has used them before. If I could have repainted the roof black, I would have, hahaha, but I assume they'll do an amazing job on the polymetal grey. P.S. SH guys, if you want to get that scratch off my front bumper, feel free to do so HAHAHA.

I'm looking forward to having them service my vehicle and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for honest and great customer service. I also want to add that while my van was being diagnosed, the gentleman noticed my coolant was low and took the time to add more coolant for me. I truly appreciate that extra step. It showed me that they genuinely care about their customers and are willing to help beyond just the service they're providing. Small acts like that really stand out and mean a lot. Thank you for your kindness and for going above and beyond. I wanted to come back and update my review now that everything has been completed. I picked up my van, and the AC is working great! The repair was completed, and I'm very happy with the results. The final price was reasonable for the amount of labor involved, and I appreciate the work that was done. Overall, I'm satisfied with the service and look forward to bringing my van here again for future repairs and maintenance. Thank you, Auto Papa, for getting my AC back up and running!

    Absolutely Outstanding Experience at Baba's Auto Gloss Body Shop!…read more I can confidently say Baba's Auto Gloss is hands down one of the best body shops on Oahu. I found them simply by searching for a body shop on the island, and even though I live on the complete opposite side of Oahu, choosing them was 100% worth it. From the very first phone call, I felt the difference. The professionalism, family-oriented atmosphere, and genuine aloha vibe immediately stood out. You don't feel like "just another customer" here -- you feel taken care of. They repaired the driver rear sliding door on my Toyota Sienna, and when I picked it up, I was honestly blown away. My van looked **better than it did before the damage**. The sliding door looked brand new, the paint was flawless, and the overall finish was incredible. What really sets Baba's Auto apart is how they go *above and beyond*. They fixed my rear license plate even though it had nothing to do with the repair, and they even topped off my windshield wiper fluid. Those little details speak volumes about their pride in their work and how much they care about their customers. Huge shoutout to Paul, Willy, and the entire team -- all amazing people who clearly love what they do. Communication was smooth, the process was stress-free, and the results exceeded my expectations. I'm recommending Baba's Auto Gloss to **EVERYONE on Oahu**. If you want top-quality work, honest people, and an all-around excellent experience, this is the place to go. So thankful for the entire Baba's Auto team -- mahalo for taking such great care of my van!

    I normally don't leave reviews, but I feel obligated to share our experience…read more Our 2011 Toyota RAV4 has been at Encore Collision since October 2025 for repairs. Over several months, we were repeatedly told that work was in progress, parts were on order, or that the vehicle was nearing completion. It's March 31, 2026 and it is still not finished. However, during multiple in-person visits, there has been little to no visible progress. Communication has been inconsistent, and there were times we arrived during business hours and no one was available. We understand that delays can happen, but the lack of transparency and follow-through has been extremely frustrating and completely unacceptable. We also observed signage indicating BBB accreditation; however, the BBB website currently lists this business as not accredited, which was confusing and concerning. At this point, we have had to escalate the matter in order to seek resolution. We hope this can still be resolved professionally, but based on our experience, we would strongly advise others to proceed with caution as there are many red flags despite the positive reviews.

We needed to get that fixed along with the bumper. We took it to Encore and they quoted us $3700. A few days later they called and said that it would be another $400 for a part. Two days later they said that it would be another $200. When we finally went to pick up the car we saw that the bumper was fixed. They also fixed some other things in the front, since it was pushed back. When I inquired about the fix for the anti-freeze the guy had no idea what I was talking about. We had a new bottle of anti-freeze in the trunk and they put it in the car for us. It didn't leak out, which was a good sign. We drove it to Costco a block down and saw that all the anti-freeze was leaking out. We called the guy and dropped the car off again. He called the next day and said it would cost $800 to fix the anti-freeze leak. A day later he called and said it would be another $400 to fix the inverter. All in all, the hubby paid around $6000 for something they quoted as $3700. That plus the fact that they had our car for over three weeks. When we finally picked up the car they did give us a complimentary car wash, which we appreciated. We've had the car back for four days now and thankfully it's running smoothly.

They replaced the large insignia, but they said that I would have to put back the small letters myself. Also while cleaning the car for an inspection, in addition to finding the small letters for the trunk door, I found water in my wheel well for the spare tire in the trunk. I told them that they forgot to reattach the other end of a plastic tube that ran rain water in the trunk door top right corner. They said that they don't detach that. But they had detached the rubber foam seal on trunk door when they painted the car. The seal is in the same area of the door as the plastic tube. If I had known ahead of time about the small letters, I might not have gotten the work done there. Usually shops will replace whatever they took off the car, and not leave everything inside the car for the owner to put back.

I was off island until that evening. They were closed 7 June and I picked it up 8 June. The repainted color I am satisfied with but the detail work was mediocre at best. There is a ton of overspray on the rubber around the windows and rear view mirrors. Additionally, there are already a few chips in the paint in a few spots which will be a problem in the near future. This has been months of frustration. I am now just over it and will not return to this establishment again for paint work. I will say that the manager was apologetic about the delays due to staffing issues but honestly due to the way this was handled initially, I should have been a top priority and more detail and attention should have been given to my vehicle. In the manager's defense, he did take matters into his hands and conducted a majority of the work himself and I am appreciative of that. I have spent the last 2 hours attempting to clean up the overspray and it will take me several more to get it all removed. Overall , I wish this would have been handled better but you live and you learn. Again, I am satisfied with the color but not the delays in service nor the level of attention to detail. I paid a pretty penny for my vehicle and the paint job was not cheap. The expectations were high but not met. This is my honest assessment and I have no hard feelings towards the establishment nor the folks I have dealt with during this process. Mahalo!
