    This is how the car was returned to us after charging $2500 for repair and there was zero communication about it.  Very disappointing.

    I was rear ended and took my car in for repair. Everything was marked for repair. They kept my car for 3 weeks. Returned the car and I found the bumper that was replaced had a missing reflector light. Also the tail light that was broken due to the collision was not replaced. My wife collected the car and there was no mention of any of this. When I called them today they said I would have to take it up with Geico since it they said the collision was on the right side and hence the left tail light fixture was not covered. This body shop has poor communication and they don't seem professional how they manage customer expectations. I will for most certain be calling Geico to address this. I would warn Palo Alto and Mountain View residents to taking the car for repair here. They are a Geico certified repair center which is why I took my car here. Never again.

    Poor quality paint job

    Geico recommended this body shop as a trusted body shop. I didn't do research and left the car for the repairs. Approximately 3 weeks later, they reached out to me to say that the vehicle is ready. The work is of extremely poor quality; I wouldn't pay a penny for it. I don't know where they are painting, but the paint is full of dust and dirt, and it is not smooth at all. It appears that they didn't use a paint booth, and the paint is contaminated. They didn't put any effort into sanding or polishing at the end. Manager Andrew simply told me that Geico doesn't pay enough to do a good quality job, and if I want better quality, I have to pay them extra. For any Geico customers or Tesla owners, I strongly suggest looking elsewhere if you are seeking a high-quality job.

    Before fixed it doesn't show the big circle dent under the line dent!!!

    I used this body shop a few years ago & was really happy!!! They do an excellent job friendly too!!! I had to come back to get a bad car ding & rim repair done on a new car. Was so glad Andrew was still there! Car was done & BEAUTIFUL was VERY PLEASED!!! THANKS so much!!! 2023 RT Scatpack widebody,last call model

    My Tesla was scratched up by a valet and Andrew and team did an excellent job with the repair. Turnaround was fast as well!

    Can they reupholster leather steering wheel and leather auto-transmission shift knob (1997 Land Cruiser)?

    For upholstery, we recommend Wardell Auto in Santa clara, they do great work!

    Hi do you do and have experience with BMWs? thanks.

    Yes, most general makes/models are done here. I wouldn't advise anything pre-90's.

    Is this body shop authorized by Honda to perform repairs? Ie, will performing repairs at this body shop void the warranty of my new Honda?

No one picked up and there was no returned phone calls. I am just going to go in tomorrow and pick up my car and take it to another location. Update 6/30: It seemed the mechanics were fine, I'm sure it is a capable shop. I finally got a call on Friday (1 hour before i was going in to pick up my car to move it to another repair shop). The nice person who accepted my car let me know that they had completed the diagnostic. I told him I was just gonna come in and get it since it had been 9 days since i had dropped it off and couldn't get ahold of anyone there. Plus on my voicemail on Tuesday i had said to cancel the diagnostic. I picked up my car and took it to another place. Also worth noting... I responded to the yelp response below on Wednesday with screenshots of my call log and the address where i took it. I got no response from that email address, no phone call, no nothing. I suspect the problems with this place are one or more of the following: * They have a LOT of cars onsite. My guess is that they are accepting too many and we would all be better served if they didn't over commit and said no to some of us. * I am guessing there used to be someone who was in charge of answering phone calls and responding to voicemails and communicating with the mechanics. Now there seems to be no one dedicated to this (though maybe an overworked mechanic who is stretched too thin). On Friday the person i worked with seemed to have no knowledge I had cancelled my diagnostic 4 days earlier. * Maybe they have an automated system for responding to one star yelp reviews... and it is not being monitored anymore. * Maybe their phone system is down or misconfigured and they are losing phone calls and voicemails. * Maybe the owner (or office manager) is sick. I hope they get better if so.

The office staff was professional, communication was good, and the shop was clean. In addition to changing my oil, they did a detailed overall inspection, which included a battery stress test, engine, brakes, and undercarriage. The full report, which included photos, was emailed to me and I was impressed by how comprehensive it was. If you just need an oil change and can do the minor maintenance and inspections yourself, then it will be a bit pricy at this shop (~$170). However, if you want someone else to do all that, it would be cheaper than a dealership.

I went back to the shop 3 times over the course of ~9 months, each time discovering some issues and replacing the pad/disk (this is where i felt good about the shop, everyone welcomed me back and did the diagnose and replacement for free). I end up relacing the two front pad/disk with another brand (zimmerman? that's what i heard) and resolved all issues. Maybe I just got unlucky, but I have to leave my honest and true experience which exhausts me over the last year (imagine every time you back out of your garage and hearing this "click" sound from your brake system, with a baby in a car. You natually worries about your safety).

Time and time again, Rick (runs the front desk and I believe is the owner) and the rest of the folks at Yarnell's have provided our family of cars the highest level of customer service! If you have a Toyota or Honda (or Lexus or Acura), they are the go to place for whatever ails your car. (They do other makes as well, but specialize on Toyota/Honda.) The job gets done right the first time and for the right price. Just this past week, I had the (12V) battery replaced in my 2006 Highlander Hybrid along with the headlight restoration (now I can actually see the road at night!). When everything was done I asked Rick to come out and listen to something I heard in the car for the first time that morning. Turned out to be tons of leaves/debris coming in contact with the AC blower. He pulled out the old air filter lickity split and replaced it. "How much do I owe you?" I said, "No charge." he said. That's just one example of the several times he has helped/provided something at no charge. He's provided advice over the phone several times too! The day Rick decides to retire will be a sad day for all of Yarnell's customers. Yarnell's really understands what it means to serve their community.
