Car accidents are obviously never pleasant. I want to next auto body by happenstance as they were close to the Car Rental location. Wonderful service and quality work. It was truly simple and seamless read more

The guys are nice but I really needed this done correctly. They had my car for almost a month, the incorrect radiator fluid was added into the radiator causing 1,500. in damage to the car and it's now with the dealership getting fixed. Unfortunately I didn't investigate prior to taking the car to the shop as it's not BBB accredited. I wish I would have went elsewhere as now I'm out almost 3,000. by their mistakes. read more

I don't typically post my experiences, good or bad, but I'm compelled to post about my exceptional experience with Christian, Nick, and everyone else. There was a lot of damage to the bed of my truck which was close to being totaled but they worked with the insurance company to get it approved. They did an expert job with the repairs and now my 2008 truck looks brand new! read more

Highly recommend this place. I needed my front bumper replaced and had a new work schedule that made things difficult as I couldn't not have a car to drive. They helped work out the timing with me and even ordered the part and painted it before I gave them my car so it was just a day job! They were also really great about price. I quoted 4 shops total and these guys were the only honest ones about actual part prices and labor! read more

There's no better body shop around. Christian and his team at Next Auto Body know their stuff and care about their customers. They take the time to explain and walk you though the whole process of damage repair. Next Auto Body goes to bag for the customer and their best interests. I dropped my Jeep off and Christian explained where the damage had occurred and pointed out several spots that I hadn't noticed. After a detailed inspection and physically showing me how to spot these additional damaged areas, he said "I will take it from here". I know he will. Big thanks to Next Auto Body for adding comfort in a difficult situation. read more

I Brought my truck to this shop for some body work and my truck had to be towed out , I drove the truck before it went in for a roof repair ONLY. Christian has cost me $1500.00 for Electrical repairs so far and towing charge to get the truck off the property , The truck can not get smog due to other problems with electrical that will not allow the battery to stay charged, I cannot get the truck registered anymore . I had bought the truck from the dealer and had NO PROBLEMS WITH THE TRUCK , He called me and said your truck is done , I went 4 times back and finding parts missing and still door seals off both doors and water floods the cab when it rains , so I went to pick the truck up and Christian said bring a tow truck . He also added $451.62 to the invoice and said had to pay in full before the truck leave the shop. He has destroyed this truck !!!!!!! read more

We love this body shop! It's the best in the business. Top quality work every single time. We love Christian and his team. We like to support small business in Simi as well. Top notch work. read more

Christian was really awesome. Friendly, courteous, and knowledgeable. My husband usually handles car related issues so I was very uncomfortable going in but Christian patiently listened to my concerns and explained how he was going to fix them. My truck was showing it's age with it's rusted and oxidized roof but after NEXT auto body was done, it looked like a new truck. Thank you Christian and NEXT. Will definitely recommend you to friends and family. read more

I got a great deal on a 2007 Toyota Tundra truck last summer mainly because it had a big dent and scratch in the passenger side door. Chris, Christian and their crew worked their magic, and in about a week my truck was LIKE NEW!!! It's just gorgeous!! Excellent customer service, delivered promises, and completely professional! Thank you, guys! read more

Next Auto Body Shop delivers phenomenal service by going above and beyond there customers expectations. For this reason I have and always will return to Christian and his team! Y'all have mastered the art of making vehicles look & drive there very best and for that I feel more than comfortable to referring Next Auto Body Shop to friends and family every-time! Thanks a ton. read more

Chris is AMAZING! This place did an awesome job. They went above and beyond. Definetly exceeded my expectations. I came out of the grocery store the other nite and walked right past my car, it looked so good I didn't recognize it. You would have no idea it was in 2 accidents and just falling apart. Chris really made sure every detail was taken care of. I would recommend this shop to anyone looking for quality and great customer service. read more

Next Auto Body Shop - Good job guys! - Body Shops Near Me - Simi Valley, California

Fantastic job!! Excellent service! This is the second time we needed body work and I have been so impressed! The quality of the repair is fantastic and they went above and beyond with service and working with the insurance. read more

I don't even know where to begin explaining how amazing Chris and Christian were to us, and we didn't even actually have any work done here! I had been in a collision that was not covered by insurance and was desperate to figure out how to move forward with my totaled car. I called a local mechanic who referred me to next auto body. I towed my damaged car over to see what my options were between getting it fixed or selling it to a salvage yard. Chris treated my boyfriend and I as if we were family. Helped us figure out who to call, gave us a thorough explanation of what our options could be, was so unbelievably helpful and honest through the over a week process before we decided on selling the car as is to a salvage yard. I really cannot say enough good things- Chris made this immensely stressful and financially difficult time for us a thousand times better. I live in echo park but will now exclusively be driving to simi to next auto body for any of my needs once I get my next car! I've already been referring friends and family as well. read more

I have brought my 2016 F150 into this body shop twice. Both times they did a 10/10 body repair. Chris and Christian are good people. They explained everything to me as the process went along. I hope I don't get into another accident but if I do I know where to go. Thank you Next Auto Body ! read more

I had some sun damage on the roof and a scraped up rear bumper. I had estimates from a few other body shops. I went to Next Auto body and spoke to Christian. I told him my needs and was given a quote. Christian understood what I was looking for and they delivered exactly what they said they would do. The car looks great and it was done for a fraction of the amount other shops had quoted. Fast, Friendly, Quality craftsmanship. read more

I unfortunately had a brake failure in my metallic blue 1970 Corvette. The right rear wheel well lip was scratched badly. I found Next Auto Body through a close friend and my insurance Hagerty, Christian and Chris did an amazing job. The paint is blended perfectly, you can't tell where the car was damaged and they even went above and beyond and repaired some stress cracks not related to the accident. I had my car back in 5 days and it is perfect. Outstanding work and amazing customer service. read more

Next Auto Body Shop - After repair - Body Shops Near Me - Simi Valley, California

See all

I found Next Auto Body by chance. Was in a bad car collision at around 6:30pm. Next Auto Body was the ONLY local body shop STILL WORKING past 5:00pm. Chris was the one that was still there, and walked me through the next few steps on how to get my badly damaged (and un-drivable) vehicle back on the road. It was a situation that I've never had to deal with. Insurance wanted to write it off as a "Total Loss" and I was a fish out of water in this arena. Both Chris and Christian took ownership of my issue, and walked me through the process STEP BY STEP to ensure that I was taken care of, got my car back, and got it back QUICKLY and INEXPENSIVELY!! I picked up my supposedly "Totalled" vehicle yesterday from Next Auto Body. The workmanship is EXCELLENT, and I really can't stress how outstanding the customer service was!! This is the benefit of using a privately owned, local small business! You get ownership and management that ACTUALLY CARE about the goals, needs, and expectations of their clientele. Without a doubt, I will be referring ANY & ALL friends/family with auto repair needs Chris & Christian @ Next Auto Body!! read more

This was for a motorcycle paint job, not a car so we won't say they are not that good at painting and customer service for cars, but they are not the place to go for motorcycles. We have body work painted all the time for show bikes, track bikes, personal bikes. Worked with many local painters. We called and got a competitive price in line with all our other painters but they claimed they could have it done two weeks earlier, so we went with them after getting a recommendation from a racer who had his body work painted there. We had them paint all the plastics to a stock bike black. They were three days late on their deadline, but then when I showed up to pick them up they were still not ready, cleaned or polished. And the guys could not find them till the manager showed up 35 min later. I waited 2 and a half hours and they were not done so I was going to come back. Long story short I waisted 3 days waiting, they had to repaint two pieces, it was late 2 weeks when all was said and done and the quality was still questionable and had stuff that should have been fixed, but our client and our patients were up. They said they would refund us some money but never did. Don't recommend them at all for motorcycle bodywork and their customer service in general was poor. read more

I was recently rear ended in a low-speed collision and was in need of a legitimate body shop to restore my car. I won't take my Miata to just any shop though, I wanted the job done right! This location was in my city and I'm SO GLAD I came here. The rear bumper was replaced and resprayed along with the quarter panels. The job was done so well it was almost impossible to tell what was resprayed and what wasn't! To top it off, they washed my car AND detailed it! This place is VERY convenient too, because they close at 6:30. If I ever need any bodywork done, I'm definitely coming back! A+ read more

I had damage to the rear bumper on my late model Prius. Next Auto Body was actually the 2nd shop I took it to. However, I was impressed by the staff (Christian and Chris) and their thorough inspection and recommendations. "Next" included a part that the other shop had "missed" which might have resulted in the bumper falling off in the future.So even though the first shop was lower, I decided to have "Next" do the work. I was in a hurry to get the work started and really didn't want to go back to the first shop anyway. Time was a big factor for me as well. When I told them of my decision and why, much to my surprise, they met the estimate from the first shop! They arranged for my rent-a-car and started the work immediately. My instincts were correct, not only with regards to value, but workmanship as well! My car was completely washed and detailed and looked better than when I bought it in October! So, even though this was a small job for them, you wouldn't know it by the customer service and quality workmanship. I hope I don't have another reason to go back, but if I do, I know where to go! read more

Christian and his team are extremely knowledgeable and nice! I've been looking for decent mechanics around town and I couldn't be more pleased with Next Auto Body shop! Initially I brought in my car for body work but was pleased to know they also work on mechanical issues.. if you drop by, they let you know exactly when they'll be able to work on your car and they do a GREAT job! Honest team with affordable pricing! I've been recommending this place to family and friends because I trust these guys! : ) read more

I took my Ford Explorer in recently to get it repaired and painted. I also had a cracked headlamp fixed. Christian could not have been nicer and worked with me throughout the process. Very quick turn around time and more than fair pricing. I will gladly come here for all of my auto body work. Thanks Christian and Next Auto Body. read more

I unfortunately was rear ended on the freeway and needed some work done on my car. My fiance previously had a great experience at Next [ he's very hard to please ] so I went by and dropped off my car. I'm very happy with how everything turned out. My car honestly looks better than when I bought it. They went above and beyond to ensure everything was done right. If you're looking for a legitimate body shop who takes care of their customers this is the place to go! Thank you Next Auto body! read more

I saw the reviews. I called and spoke with Christian. He explained everything and handled the insurance company too. Great work. Super timely. Looks like new. Highly recommend. read more

Wow what a great experience I had with next Autobody in Simi Valley. Someone hit my truck when I was parked, wasn't a huge amount of damage, but was more than I could handle driving around with. I decided to get a couple of estimates here in Simi Valley, the first one was from 805 Autobody. Price was affordable, but the estimate was just written down on a business card, and I didn't fee to comfortable, didn't seem as professional as I kinda expected. I decided to get a second opinion from Next Autobody. Chris was the estimator, he was very informative gave me a detailed written,computer generated, estimate. Went over the job process and guaranteed me completion within two days. I dropped my vehicle off on Monday 12pm, spoke with the owner Christian, who also guaranteed completion within two days. Guess what two days and complete. It's very reassuring knowing a timeline is met, that time was invested into the actual estimate, not just a made up number on a business card, and seeing a professional working environment where I believe actual concern for the quality of work and attention to detail was a major part of their working environment. A must use professional shop. read more

Really bad service all the way around! I would not recommend this place to anyone ! They tell you that they are outing original parts and they fix the parts that are damaged in your car and repaint them ' be carful ask for an invoice for every single part put on you car! read more

I have nothing but great positive feedback for Next and everyone that works there! Christian Udaeta (Next Auto Body) Professionals is all I can say! Thank you for all your work you had done on my car! I'm very please and happy!! I recommend anyone I know to take your needed vehicles to them! For me they went above and behind the expectations completely! You won't be disappointed, you will be very pleased with their work! Thank you all again at Next! read more

This is a great shop. My daughter got into a small fender bender and they fixed her car, at a reasonable price. Later down the road, her vehicle was in another accident where the damage was more severe. This shop was really honest with us about the extent of damage and our options. We ended up not fixing it. Both times we worked with Chris who was SUPER helpful. We will go here for any future needs. read more

Took my 2020 3 day old Subaru Forester to NEXT Auto Body after I collided the shark fin antenna into my garage door. They had the insurance adjuster there in less than 1 day and completed the repair a day early. Perfect job and they washed the SUV as well. 5 stars and kadoos from me. read more

I have a 2011 Hyundai Genesis Coupe 2.0t I was in an accident and my front driver side was completely smashed causing some mild frame damage. The auto insurance was making things difficult to accomplish. Next Auto Body Was very kind and patient with me. Chris, Christian, and Kelly were exceptional in detailing and out lining the process for me step by step. After the assessor for my insurance company came out they got to work right away. The quote the assessor gave them was on used parts for my car. They got me brand new parts through there great negotiating skills. When I picked up the car it was perfect! I swear it drives better then ever. Next Auto Body has a great group of guys working there. I would recommend them to anyone who has a need for an honest and passionate auto body shop. They also have awesome custom paints and do really great custom work for that unique look. read more

I highly recommend going here! Great work, super quick, and way more affordable than City Auto Body.

Yesterday I stopped in with my 2008 Honda Accord that had a pretty big dent in the right front fender. I met with Christian for the first time ever & told him my sitiation & asked him for a price. He first got on the ground & tried to push the dent out. It definitely helped quite a bit . He told me in order to make it look like new it would cost about $500 which I felt was a very fair price. He would not take any money for pushing out the dent. He was so nice & I feel a very honest & reputable man. I will definitely be using his company in the future. read more

Just moved here 3 months ago from the southeast & I didn't know where to take my car. So I chose the place with the highest reviews in the area. Next Auto Body is now the only place I will consider. My first choice was the right choice! Great customer service & everyone here is super friendly & helpful! read more

Use this shop at your risk. Took my classic car there after an accident. They had it for six months. There'd be weeks and days that I'd check on the progress and it was still sitting there with no work done on it. The body guys who work on the cars would feel bad and tell me that they keep bumping my car for easier fast jobs. I finally had to yell and scream before they put people on it and it still took 2-3 weeks to finish it. The car sat in the rain and body shop dust for 6 months and the interior and engine bay was covered with a thick layer of rust. I had to finish cleaning the interior. The car was bone dry empty on gas and Christian the owner hands me a gas bucket to go to the gas station and bring a couple of gallons back to get it started. They didn't even clean the engine bay and the car would not even start. They disconnected the dash harness to get it started and the car overheats without any warning lights working and I had to pay another $2500 to fix a blown head. I came up with a two page list of repair issues from non aligned body parts to falling weather strips to non working lights, non closing windows, loose tail pipes, etc. And to top it off he wanted me to wait a week before I bring it in to fix all the issues. I would give them zero stars if I could. read more

My entire car enthusiast family and extended group of friends has been choosing to come to Christian at Next Auto Body for OVER A DECADE. It is the only shop we will ever use and trust with our cars. The meticulous eye for detail and dedication to do things the right way that Christian and Chris have is simply unparalleled. As a physician I travel throughout the country for consulting projects in my 2014 Roush Raptor and twice now after sustaining body damage in other states I have chosen to drive my truck back from out-of-state to Next Auto Body in Simi Valley, CA instead of letting anyone else touch it. It is not only the stellar finished work that keeps me coming back here but the customer service and overall ease which they bring to what could otherwise be a stressful experience. As car enthusiasts themselves they have deep knowledge and experience within their industry that you will not get at other shops that are focused on production instead of quality. My father is also a tremendous fan of their work. He grew up in a renown body shop which my grandfather owned at the height of the muscle car era. He is even more meticulous than I am when it comes to spotting defects in auto body and paint repair and after being disappointed with the work done at many of the other area body shops found Christian over a decade ago and the rest has been history. Next Auto Body builds show cars that excel at the regional and national level car shows and I have seen them bring that level of work and dedication to everything they do from repairing a small dent or scratch on a daily driver to more comprehensive collision damage repair. If you care about your car and your sanity this should be your first stop after a collision or when embarking on a restoration or customization project. Period. read more

I'm scheduled for a repair this weekend. So far the process has been seamless.
