Marina Auto Body have been my go-to shop for all my car problems. From my dad's Prius getting hit and run and needing major work on the rear bumper, to my RDX getting vandalized from spray paint while parked in the streets of San Francisco (this city is so shitty now). Marina Auto Body would always be the place I think of first to solve all these painful headaches. As I have mentioned, my car was vandalized while parked in the streets of San Francisco. At first I thought it was just really dirty, but soon realized it was not just dirt, it was spray painted (fucking ape shit, people nowadays have no fucking better things to do with their lives?!?!). Called Marina Auto Body and they slot me in for an emergency, the guys there told me I shouldn't wait too long either as the longer the paint stays on, the harder it'll be to remove (and we're not even sure if they can remove it either). Andy was so nice to walked me through the process, I told him what happened and he examine the area and Aldo (not sure if I got his name right) went right to work. Thank goodness the spray paint did come off and now my car is back to normal. I am so thankful for Andy & Aldo for being so accommodating and letting me stop by their bodyshop on such last minute notice. Honestly the best you can find in the BayArea. read more

I hit a ladder on the freeway in my brand new car. My front bumper was literally hanging off my car. Simon was nice enough to stop everything they were doing and zip tie it on and order the part I needed. I brought my vehicle back in the next week and Simon made sure that the repair was done as promised! Amazing work fair price and even washed my car! I'm hoping to not have any more need for a body shop, but if I do, I will only go here! read more

Can't say enough great things about Marina Auto Body. Simon, who gave me an accurate estimate and scheduled service- professional, personable, helpful. The guys who repaired my car- don't know their names but also professional & personable, proud of their work, asked me if I was happy with the results. Additional items repaired at no cost. My 2011 Toyota 4Runner looks brand new. Sang their praises to everyone at work. Really an exceptional place. Thank you. read more

RED FLAG.... Do NOT look at the reviews below. Took my brand new Benz here after running over a median. It was in BAD shape however, Johnson said I'd have my car back almost new within 3-4 weeks. After weeks going by with a $15k charge to my insurance, I myself had to contact Johnson for updates after being postponed week over week with false promises. He does NOT call back when he says he will. Red flag number two. I did get my car back but with only more issues. We ended up taking the car to the Benz dealership for them to see a huge crack within the shock towers that had solution slapped on.I'm no mechanic but this is a HUGE sign that Marina Auto didn't do the work. I would have been fine with the car being totaled within the first week of initiation Howver I had to wait over TWO months for my car to be completely totaled. Do NOT make false promises you cannot keep and if your taking in an expensive car - update the customer as much as possible because that huge ticket is what ends up paying your rent. read more

I got into a car accident and had the tow truck company take my car to this place. All i can say is 5 star service! My anxiety from uncertainty was all taken care of by speaking to Vince. I think he is the manager there. His customer service is superior as he gave me options and explained them all thoroughly. He spoke clear and concise and assured me everything was going to get taken care of. I knew i was in the right place because while waiting for paperwork i noticed all the employees were smiling while working with each other and having such great camaraderie. From the desk people to the servicemen, they all seemed happy to be there. Well to make a long story short repairs were done faster then the quoted time and it's like nothing ever happened to my car. Thank you marina auto body! read more

Searched around several body shops in the SF area for a place to install my front spoiler splitter and side skirts. This place took care of it in 2 hours. The job was done professionally and I encountered zero issues. They didn't need my car for the entire day as most places had requested that up front. I will be taking my car back here again. read more

My car was parked and was hit by another vehicle pretty bad. My entire bumper, headlights, and front end was severely damaged. They repaired my vehicle super quick and it looks brand spankin new again. Love it! Thumbs up to Nelson and Johnson for phenomenal customer service!! read more

This is my first review on Yelp as I usually don't write reviews. I was absolutely amazed by Marina Auto Body shop's service! I got into an accident a week ago, my car was hit by some crazy lady and she denied the accident saying she didn't hit my car. Her passenger side mirror scraped my car when she drove by my car. Since there's no witness at the time of the accident, her insurance company would not pay for the damage on my car so I have to claim my own insurance and pay out of my pocket due to the deductible. I was very upset and frustrated by the whole incident. There is a long scratch from the driver side rear panel all the way to the front driver side door. I usually come to Marina whenever there's an auto body issue since they've done awesome jobs before on my cars. Vince used to take good care of me. So I just dropped by this morning without making an appointment to get an estimate on the damage, hoping it won't cost much. Johnson Chen was there to help me since Vince was not there. Johnson explained to me about the work they need to perform, fortunately no paint job needed on my car because the scratch only damaged the clear coat but not the paint, so they can just sand it down and buff it out for me. He told me that it will just take about 1 to 1.5 hour to get it fixed so I can get it back same day. I agreed and waited at the shop while they started to fix my car. I dropped off my car at 9:30am and it was done at 11:10am, they also washed and waxed my car, it looks amazing and like new again!! All the scratches were gone and didn't leave any marks on the paint! I really appreciate the work done by the guys at Marina. Johnson handed me the key and patiently explained to me how to take care of the paint since my car is black, it is hard to take good care so some detailing is necessary to get back the shine. At the end, I was shocked as Johnson told me there will be no charge on the service they've done on my car! It's just unbelievable about his kindness and how generous he is, so I have to write a review for them. I would definitely recommend anyone to check with Marina Auto Body shop if you have any issues on your car since these guys are just the best auto body shop in SF!!! THANKS again Johnson and Marina!! read more

This place is great. It was recommended to me after I had a small accident and needed a new headlight assembly and the front bumper to be reattached. My car is old (but good!) and I don't make much money, and Walter understood. He worked to find me the best deal on a reconditioned headlight assembly, did the bumper for me, and then also fixed some additional damage they found while working on it free of charge. He knew I didn't want paint touch-ups (it's not that kind of car, lol!) and he didn't try to convince me that I needed them. They did the work for me in one day. These are good people, fair and upfront. Highly recommend. read more

I found this place on Yelp just shopping for quotes on Bryan St. after someone hit (and ran) me while I was parked and not at the car. I have Geico insurance and it was a seamless process. I was quoted for 1 week but it was ready within a few days. The 5 stars is based on excellent customer service (they keep their word and don't try to cheat you), efficiency (car ready in a few days), and going above and beyond. My dent was just above my driver's side wheel yet when they cleaned my car they polished my headlights from murky yellow to glistening, brilliant white, and I had a piece of plastic hanging from the bottom of my car- they lifted it up so I don't constantly hear the scrapping after each speed bump. Would highly recommend! read more

Brought my car in after a pickup truck smashed into my drivers side fender. Called up marina auto body and Johnson was super helpful, he even stayed open a little later in order to get my car in before the Holiday weekend. Took about a week an a half and was updated during the whole repair period. When I picked up my car I was really impressed. The car looked good as new and they even did some extra touch up work! Great experience overall. Give them a call! read more

About their Request a Quote offer only: After sending photos of bumper damage and fender dent, and itemizing locations, descriptions of damage in photos, response was, "can you stop by to the shop for a in person estimate? Its really hard to tell exactly what damage there is." Other body shops viewing same photos and damage description provided repair quotes, no problem. read more

I want to Thank Johnson for helping me make my use BMW beautiful again. He answered every question I have and quick to respond. He will take care of you and your car and have no worries. I would recommend him if you need body work that need fixing. read more

Marina Auto Body - Body Shops Near Me - San Francisco, California

This is the BEST auto body shop in all of San Francisco, bar none. Raymond Jurado was really kind, patient, knowledgeable, thorough in performing an estimate, detailing the work required, and getting the process underway. The shop made working with my insurance company - even though it wasn't one of the specially designated shops for State Farm - a complete breeze. The whole process was seamless, efficient, and incredibly painless. Top notch work on my car! All with very reasonable pricing, and well within the deadline I set for them to complete the repairs. What a great service! Do not hesitate to use Marina Auto Body. Ask for Raymond! read more

This is the best and my favorite body shop in the whole bay area ! , they definitely deserve more than 5 star , somehow someone end up hitting my car and I've been here 3 times already for different body repairs and they always got my back , i love what they do and how they do ! Johnson is super thanks again read more

Great work, honest price and fast. They replaced my rear bumper on my 328i sedan and even though they had to special order parts and paint it was fast and looked perfect!!! I will take my car back for more bodywork--living in the city you get the joys of dealing with dings often! Nice guys and super honest!! read more

WOW... What can I say.. I have been going to Steve for years.... He and his team are the best in the City... The jobs he has done on my past cars are first class.. His team goes above and beyond to help you.. Works well with the insurance companies.. You will like this...Insurance companies like working with Steve and his Team... Eugene Gee my adjuster said.."they do a great job and get you back on the road quick" he is right on with that comment... If your car has body damage...go see Steve..you wont regret it. read more

Easily 5 stars. As a transplanted NYer I'm extremely distrusting of body shops. Fact is back on the east coast, most body shops are out to screw you over and get by on slightly above horrible work. So even though a close friend recommended Marina to me I was a little suspicious based on previous experiences, especially considering I'm a huge car-guy. That 100% went away after talking to Vince and having him go above and beyond what I was expecting. He was extremely informative of regarding the work that would be done to my car upon the initial inspection, helped me GREATLY by working with the insurance company to get all of the imperfections on my car fixed to showroom standard, and perhaps most importantly he was in constant contact with me through the entire process. I received phone calls updating me about the status of the claim, the status of parts being ordered as well as when the car would be painted and detailed. Absolutely fantastic experience. The paint work came out 10 out of 10, no complaints at all. Being that they also are a typical mechanic shop as well as a body shop, I will be using them going forward for all car related needs I have that I don't personally do myself. Vince, you rock! Thanks again for everything bud! PS - If you require a rental car, their rates are about 1/4 what the typical rates you will find around are. While I didn't take advantage of this during the time my car was down, it was good to know for the future. read more

My 2016 Mazda 3 was involved in a hit and run, and I chose to have it fixed at Marina Auto Body based on all the glowing reviews. There was extensive damage to my car, and while I was initially quoted 2-3 weeks for the fix, it ended up taking more than 6 weeks. Each time they would tell me it would be done "in just a few more days" and then extend it once their new deadline had passed. After my car had been in the shop for 30 days and my insurance rental car had to be returned, I called the shop was told that they had a loaner car that I could use while my car was being fixed. However, when I went down there to get it, I was then told that someone else was using the car, and that I could come get it another day. I was annoyed that I wasn't told this on the phone and had to go down there to find out that the car wasn't available. After 6 weeks, they were able to get my car looking great, which I appreciate. However, the long delay and frequent miscommunications left a bad taste in my mouth and I don't think I'll be returning to Marina Auto Body. read more

Time is money. Money is money. They didn't waste either of mine. Fast, clean, and courteous - they had me in and out of there for replacement of my Acura's exhaust system while I had lunch around the corner. Just cool people running a good shop. Seeing a gorgeous Porsche Spyder there also signifies the clientele they serve. read more

My car was looking a bit depressing with my recent luck.. Vince and his team made everything as effortless as can be; from my claim with the insurance, car rental, and pick up. Honest excellent work across the board!! Thanks guys. read more

my friend suggested this place. stellar work. i bought a used hard top of craigslist, which didn't match my car. now it does! they removed the rear glass, painted the top, and then replaced the glass. there's no way you could tell i didn't buy the top w/ the car. vince even took care of some of the scratched and nicks along the edge that the prior own made. if you want pro paint work done, don't hesitate to go here. read more

Marina Auto Body - got my miata hard top repainted. awesome job and it looks great. you can't even tell i bought it used. - Body Shops Near Me - San Francisco, California

5 Star hands down! I scratched my door really bad about a year ago and didn't get around to fixing it until recently. It started to rust and I thought it was going to be expensive and a pain for it to be fixed. I dropped off my car to Vince and he said he would take care of it for me. And he did! He was very helpful and courteous and had my car back to me within 2 days. I was extremely impressed because my car looked brand new! The paint job was also done really well. Nice staff, great service, and amazing outcome! I will definitely think about Marina Auto Body next time I need body work done. Highly recommend this place! read more

Love how they look at my car and let me know the economical reasons of fixing certain things. They arent after my money, they are after doin right by me read more

Great! Great! Great! I headed over to Marina Auto Body to get my tires replaced and was I glad that I did. They not only replaced and disposed of my tires, they were of the highest quality and perform better than my stock tires. They were able to get my car back to me in less than an hour and it was the best deal in the bay area, better than Costco! Vincent is as professional as they come. He gave me detailed specs of the different tires that would fit our budget. My girlfriend, who uses the car to commute 2 hours a day, needed durable high quality tires. Retail tire shops like Just Tires or Costco charged premium prices without the guarantee of the tires being in stock. In one Costco location the tires we wanted would have taken 2-4 weeks to arrive at the store. Marina Auto Body had the perfect tires in stock and cheaper than any retail shop we visited. Thank you and we will definitely come back for any of our auto needs. read more

This place is great! I came to the place based on a recommendation of a friend, and wasn't disappointed. Walter was kind and friendly, and very responsive, and gave me a great rate. Quality of workmanship was great, and I appreciated how quickly they got the repairs done. Would definitely recommend! read more

I had the unfortunate task of finding an Auto Body shop after some genius rear ended my Ferrari (People say I have a good imagination) on the freeway. Anyways, after asking around, I received multiple suggestions to Marina Auto Body. I brought it down to the shop, and got a quick estimate through Vince. The staff at Marina Auto Body helped communicate with my insurance, and also set me up with a rental car. Their shop has on-site rental cars, but they were out that day. Jessie drove me down to Hertz and made sure I had a rental car before leaving. A week later, I get a call from Vince, telling me that my car was ready to be picked up. Although I was in Daly City and could not find a way down to the shop, Vince offered to pick me up! When we got to the shop, my car looked amazing. It was detailed, inside and out. Marina Auto Body definitely goes the extra mile with their customer service and quality repairs; whether you drive a Ferrari or Toyota. read more

Johnson, Vince and Team are absolutely amazing!!! Incredible customer service and made the whole process very easy. They did a wonderful job communicating with me during every step of the way and provided feedback in a timely manner. Oftentimes as a female, you feel like you can get taken advantage of at autobody shops in terms of not having a technical understanding of the car and what repairs should cost. Not the case here, they explained everything and made sure I understood what the issue was, what was being fixed and how much it would cost. 5+ stars! I fully plan to come back here anytime I need work done on my car. read more

I'd wanted to get my dangly bumpers on my '95 Jetta roll-up (don't hate - I love my car) fixed for a while. I visited many of the body shops in SOMA, but they all seemed like most car places - brusk and alienating, and I almost felt embarrassed asking for body work on my 17 year old coche. I forgot about it for a while until my husband got me a detail service (told you I love my car) at Keatley Detail for Christmas and they recommended Marina Auto Body to get my bumpers fixed. So I finally pulled in and to my surprise I was greeted by a very friendly receptionist and the keeeyooootest little dog with a jacket that said "Princess" that I assumed belonged to the equally cute receptionist. A minute later Vince comes over to look at my car and I discover the tiny doggie belongs to him! How can you not love this big macho-looking guy who works on cars for a living yet has this tiny fluffy princess dog as a pet? I was liking this place a lot. And like all the reviews so far say - Vince made me feel very comfortable right away - spoke to me like an equal and fixed up my bumpers quick and for a cheap price. But when I was ready to pay he simply said there was no charge! WTF? Unheard of. They even washed my car - TWICE because it got a little dusty after they washed it the first time. It was like I was in the Emerald friggin' City. I wish I had more cars for him to fix! I hope that my review helps to send more business his way. This place is a diamond in the rough. read more

Great experience with my neighborhood body shop. Vince was straightforward, honest, and accommodating. He got the job done with even less labor than he had quoted me, and the pricing reflected that. No complaints so far. Highly recommended. read more

My bruhs. Have you noticed that every single auto repair place has kicking reviews. Why is this. Fakes? People want to believe their car looks sheen after the cash is spent? This place can be irritating because they will try and steer you away from work you clearly want, but overall it's a win. Coats are well color matched, and once I had a small defect on the front bumper - I mean small and super irritating and they shot the whole thing without a raised hand. It's not a religious experience. But it's probably as good as it gets. read more

It seemed impossible that any establishment could legitimately rank 5 stars after more than 125 reviews, so I was suspicious of the dozens of over-the-top, glowing, gushing, super-fantastic reviews. I mean, it's an auto body shop; how great could it possibly be? Well, the answer is: pretty frickin' great. These guys have got their business down to a science--they know how to fix cars and they know customer service. There were so many small things they did which made each step of a not-very-fun experience as simple and stress-free as possible. Suffice it to say they went above and beyond in every area. I was beyond impressed. A+. Two thumbs up. Awesome. 5 stars. Highly recommended. Etc. read more

I took my mini to Marina Auto Body to get my hood replaced b/c some dummy decided on July 4th to sit on my hood, making a HUGE dent (aka booty print). Everyone at Marina Auto Body was very friendly, and did not make you feel like an id if you didn't know anything about auto insurance, or had no experience around an auto shop. Jessie was very helpful in figuring out insurance issues, and setting me up with a rental car service. Vince called me personally to let me know the car was ready, which was earlier than the expected date! Vince also took the time to walk through all the repairs with me. In addition to the hood repairs, I had asked Vince to replace my windshield wipers, which he replaced for free! What?! Vince also touched up for free all those bumper tap marks you get when parking in SF! Double What?! I would highly recommend going to Marina Auto Body if you're having one of those crappy days cuz your car looks sad. They're so nice, fast, and good at what they do! read more

I recently had an accident on my Lexus. It was a Sunday late afternoon. I was lost on what to do and no place to have my car towed. Someone refereed me to call Vince at Marina Auto Body. I called Vince and he said he would make an exception to come out and tow my car which is not drivable to his shop. Then I felt so relieved that someone will actually come out on a Sunday evening to help and tow my car to his repair garage. The car was fixed by Marina Auto Body and they did a great job and even helped me touch up the dings I had on the doors. This is great service from start to finish. The work was done on time and the price was reasonable, I like to express that this is what service should be in all shops here in San Francisco. Ron Lee read more

I went here to have some scratches on my car taken care of and they couldn't have been nicer or more helpful! They buffed out the scratches and didn't even charge me for the work. I love them! Highly recommend. My husband also used them a year ago when his car was dented by a garage door and they did an excellent job in a timely manner. read more

I thought I had left a review for Marina Auto Body in the past but I guess I was wrong. I've gotten into an accident twice in the past 4 months (both were not my fault so get out of here with that asian driver no survivor crap). Both times I had my car towed to Marina Auto Body for repair because they are the only people that I trust to work on my car. Here are my list of thoughts for Marina Auto Body because reviews are so much easier with lists, -Vince cut me a check for $500 because thats what the insurance paid him to get a new bumper but he said that I didn't need a new bumper so he just gave me the extra money, If this was anywhere else, that would've been extra money in their pocket. -They vacuumed the hell out of my rental car for free from all the dog hairs so they wouldn't charge me at Hertz. -My car always feels new when coming out of this place. -I feel that my car is faster when coming out of this place. -I never have a worry because I know the guys at Marina Auto Body will take car of my car. I have so much respect for this place that I don't think any of you should get your car fixed anywhere else, your car should only be trusted here and no where else. read more

I had such a great customer experience at Marina Auto Body that it inspired me to write my first yelp review! The front bumper of my Lexus had a dent that I was pretty sure could be fixed without having to replace the whole part. My dealer told me I would need a new bumper and he could refer me to a "specialized" Lexus shop to get it replaced. I knew it sounded shady! I took it to Marina Auto Body to get a 2nd opinion. I asked Vince if there was anything they could do to repair it without replacing the part. I didn't care about it looking flawless, just wanted it to look decent again. Vince told me they could take care of it right then and there and they did! He said it might not look 100% without a new part, but they were able to pop and smooth out the dent and it really looks great. Unless you knew it was dented, you can't even tell. I waited less than an hour and Vince checked in a couple times to keep me updated. On top of all that, they didn't charge me! Fast, honest, great quality AND amazing service?! Wow I couldn't believe it! Thank you SO MUCH Vince and Marina Auto Body! I will refer everyone I know to you guys. You really went above and beyond to help me out and I'm SO grateful. If only there were more businesses out there like you. I still smile every time I think about it! read more

Finally! A car place that is dependable and honest! Marina Auto Body gave it to me straight. They don't beat around the bush, get me lost in the car jargon and sell me things I don't really need. It's definitely a relief to bring my car to a trustworthy mechanic and talk to people I can trust. Vincent and his team were really awesome. 5 stars in customer service... After having a stressful morning where my car wouldn't start, I towed it to Marina Auto Body and they were able to fix my car before I got off work! The also communicated me through the day what the status of my car. This is definitely my go-to place for anything car related. Definitely would recommend all my friends to go there. Very happy customer! read more

I came to Marina Auto body to replace my windshield due to some cracking. I was helped out by Leo Van, his customer service was impeccable and made sure I was assisted with everything that i needed. On the bright side also the replacement of the windshield was fast All i had to do was go down the block for some lunch and he gave me a call shortly after letting me know the windshield has been replaced. When i went to pick up my car I could not even tell the difference just as it was brand new! Would highly recommend this place if you have any auto body or glass damages! Request for Leo for his friendly and professional accommodations. read more
