It's never a good thing to be rear-ended on the freeway on a Thursday night on your way home from LAX...but if that were to happen to you, let me recommend that you check out Real Body Shop for any repair your sad and damaged automobile may need. Honestly, I don't think I've had a better experience than this. From the moment I pulled in, Art (who handled our intake) was thoughtful, attentive and completely reassuring. Honestly, everyone at the shop was incredible, but that first face you see when you walk through the door is so important in setting the tone for the whole experience... I don't give a five-star for nothing...these guys are as good as it gets! Despite having to order and paint a bumper, they had my car finished in about a week...which is SUPER quick! The car looks new, and they did the most incredible job detailing it as well...I honestly felt like I was driving a new car off the lot! If you ever need body work, I definitely recommend these guys... read more

If you're thinking of coming to this body shop , I advised you not too. I brought my BMW x5 here. For the owner Bob to Play me. He over charged my insurance and then when it was time to pick my car up he said it was ready for pick up and when i arrived here he said i had to pay out of pocket for part he got extra. When he said it was ready.Which doesnt make sense that my car was ready and he wanted to charged more. They are also doing foul business with the tow trucks and charging more . I dont know if it cause im young he try to play me and on top of that the owner said he bought parts from The dealer BMW . But was a lie because he bought used parts and said they were brand new. I want everyone who reading his reviews to really take your car to a place where people are genuine. these people are scammers and as im leaving all the workers were all in a circle talking and try to block my vechicle inside . I have never been in such an evil place . It's crazy because he was very nice in the beginning but towards the progress things were changing and he wasn't keeping me updated with any information. Saying he was waiting for insurance but my insurance already payed him. And FYI they have two body shops that are run by the same guy... in la & van nuys. read more

best body shop in LA. Mr Naz and his team have made my experience with car troubles so much easier over the years. my family and friends all come to Real over anyone else, because they know the value and quality of service. Accidents, break ins, car trouble, anything you need, they'll go above and beyond to make happen. i always get my car back better than i had it before any incident. with all the stress of car drama, it's a relief to know exactly where i'm taking my car if ever there's a problem. read more

My car is back to original beauty. They have the highest quality service. Totally trust them!

First off, not all body shops are equal when it comes to quality and level of work. Naz and his team's level of work is as close as you'll get to factory work. He fixed my driver rear door ( one of the hardest parts of a vehicle to repair damage on when not replacing the door ) that scraped a pole back to looking like brand new and smooth like glass...like it was never ever been painted which is the ultimate compliment any body shop can receive. My front bumpers lip was scratched and the paint was starting to fade as you can tell in the before pictures. Besides getting a very fair price as I was paying out of pocket, the pictures speak for themselves. If you're picky about your cars and expect the highest quality of work without breaking the bank...Real body shop is the place to go. Naz even washed, waxed and detailed my car on the house ...they got a customer for life. read more

I recently smashed/scraped the side of my 2006 Toyota Corolla on a column in a parking structure. Luckily, no one else was involved, but it was annoying because I knew that it would probably be expensive and I naively thought I should just pay it out of pocket. Unfortunately (or fortunately), I've never had to go to a body shop here in L.A.--I get all my tune-ups from my dealership and since my car is new and ridiculously reliable, I never need any major repairs. I found an auto repair shop on Yelp with decent reviews and was directed to the Real Body Shop. I believe it is family-owned and I thought that was nice. Arthur is who I dealt with primarily, but anyone who answered the phone when I called was very helpful. WHAT I LIKED: -The actual repair was impeccable. They even painted over minor scratches on my bumper not located near the impact area. My car looks brand new. -They advised me to use my insurance and I ended up spending $250 on a repair that was almost $2,000. Even though my premiums will go up some, it's still definitely the better choice and I'm glad they explained that to me. -Their estimate was almost exactly what my insurance company estimate was, so I know they're honest. WHAT WAS KIND OF ANNOYING: (To be honest, none of the following is too terrible--just a little inconvenient.) -Even though it says they open on 8 a.m. on Saturdays on their website, they really don't open until around 9:30 a.m. -I had to rush them my payment because they needed to deposit money in the bank and initially, I thought it seemed a little shady, but now that I've gone through the whole process and got such a deal, I'd still definitely do business with them again. They come highly recommended from me. read more

It's rarely a pleasant experience having to take your car into a body shop but Real made it so painless, easy and efficient! These guys are pros and understand how to take care of their customers. From the initial phone call to dropping off my car to estimating (working with insurance) and all the way through to me picking up my BEAUTIFULLY fixed Lexus. I believe it was Art who managed the entire process for me and he was incredibly thorough, reliable and detailed in keeping me updated on the progress of my repairs. Seriously, don't hesitate. If your car needs some TLC, take it to Real and trust you will not be disappointed. read more

The place to get any body work on your car hands down. My husband and I have been using Real for years and many of our friends have been referred and also are in love. The work is super professional, the guys who own the place are fair and kind and the prices are lower than I've seen other places offer. Can't say enough good things about this place. read more

My VW GTI had a manufacturing defect that caused the clear coat on the roof to degrade. The piece needed to be taken apart and repainted. I was referred to Real Body Shop by someone who used them years ago and was very pleased, and I couldn't be happier. The price was reasonable and the work was beautifully executed. The added bonus is that these folks are just so nice to deal with. I would happily and without reservation recommend them to anyone whose car needs body repair. read more

I have been going to Real Body Shop for years. Naz and George are easy to work with and my car always looks like new when I pick it up.

This is the best body shop I've encountered in California! I was referred to them by a friend who has a classic car she loves with an unusual paint color that they've always been able to match if she endured any significant scratches. I have a black Jaguar convertible that was hit by someone when it was parked along a side street. Black can be hard to match --and naturally I wanted it purrrfect so I was thankful to have a referral. George, Art, Naz and Arthur are all true professionals that work like a well oiled machine to get your car done. They also put incredible care into the detail job they do for you. My car looked like I was driving it off the dealer lot brand new! Not only that but knowing I had a tight schedule, they even managed to finish my car a day early without sacrificing a bit of quality of course! They were all so professional, I can not recommend them highly enough. They are used to working on expensive cars that have special paint jobs too so they are excellent no matter what kind of car you drive. These days it's invaluable to find good people you can trust who take total pride in the work they do and care deeply about how you feel about the service they've given you. You get all that and more at Real Body Shop. So if you need to restore something on your car, do not hesitate to give them a call. Thank you again guys for making my car absolutely stunning! read more

I've taken numerous cars here, my own and friends, and have always been completely satisfied with the quality of their work. If you're looking for quality body work for any type of car this is the place to go! Nazo and George are the owners and they are very passionate about doing the job right, I can't stress that enough. Art is also a very reliable staff member who can help you with any of your questions or concerns. read more

My family and I have been bringing our cars here forever! They are by far the best in the business and treat us fairly and respectfully! 10/10 recommend to anyone. read more

A careless drive sideswiped my car recently. The local car dealer I use for maintenance recommended Real Body Shop. I drove over and I was impressed with the owner's assessment of the damage and his professionalism. His crew made the necessary repairs insisting to the insurance company they would not compromise on the repairs. The car looks like new. He exceeded my exspectations. Strongly recommended. read more

Such great service and attentiveness at this body shop. Everyone is great, from the two owners to all the other workers. A true pleasure to be able to work with people you can trust and who provide unbiased guidance so you can do what's best for your situation. Special thank you to the owners for taking care of me and fixing my car quickly since I had my newborn baby with me!! read more

My 5 month old car was parked when it was hit by a driver and I was so sad. A friend recommended real body shop and I am so happy I chose to go there. George was so nice and let me know that they would take it from there and just deal with the insurance for me. What a relief. When I picked up I met Nas woh was also so kind and solidified for me that I made the right choice. My car looks great and I would absolutely send all my friends here. Thank you Real Body Shop. I appreciate you. read more

Real Body Shop delivers superb quality auto body work when it comes to paint job. These guys know color, metal and shape. I was extremely happy with the results on my car on two different occasions. I can say they do a great job of 'undo' when it comes to damages to your vehicle. As far as the people working there go, you like them more once you get to know them better as they are honest and hard working individuals. One thing I need to mention is that this is a body shop so expect to have a little roughness when it comes to the work environment. I'm actually entertained by it. :) read more

I had a great experience at Real Body Shop. Down-to-earth, family run place that does high quality work and most of all is honest and friendly. They made my car look as good as new :) read more

Words can't express how fantastic these guys are. They have always been there for me and their body work and paint are impeccable. read more

So about two weeks ago my window came off track and fell inside the door, and i needed of course to get it repaired, out of desperation i stopped at the first Body Shop I could find to temporarily fix my window and get a quote, long story short they quoted me $380. Luckily i told them I would wait and shop around for another quote. A few days later I recalled a co-worker promoting her father's shop, so I figured I'd give them a try. Went to get a quote, brought the original quote so they would know exactly what parts were suggested. After talking to Naz, one of the owners, he discovered I only needed one of the 3 parts, and he thoroughly went over all the parts required for the window and what i needed in order for my window to work properly. Naz was patient, and wanted what was best for my car and my budget. I ended up only paying $165 vs. $380. Saving me $200 dollars. The work was done w/in an hour and my car was done in a flash. The Real Body Shop was very helpful and accommodating and i recommend everyone check them out! You actually feel like they are taking care of your car and not running b.s. Thanks Guys! Greatly appreciate the work! read more

Naz and George are the best! They did an excellent job fixing my Girlfriends Mercedes.... TWICE. Sadly she had two accidents and they resurrected her Benz. They are very fair and HONEST! I can't say enough positive things about and how they treat their customers and run their business. YOU ARE GOOD HANDS HERE! Thank you Naz and George! read more

This place is amazing with customer service and I quality performance results my car was twisted they fix it so good you can't tell what happened I am recommending this place to my friends family anybody read more

I took my Lexus here after a collision. There are no words to describe how amazing Naz and his team are. He was so kind and patient and explained everything. After such an unfortunate event - leaving my car in their hands gave me a peace of mind. They worked with insurance quickly and got my car ready in just a week. Their work is absolutely magic - my car looks brand new like I just bought it new. I felt, without a shadow of a doubt, that they truly care about the work they do and about their clients. Thank you so much! read more

"These guys are the best in LA. The quality of their work is impeccable and they are fairly priced and honorable. They know their business and their pricing is reasonable and fair. They also treat you like family. They make you feel appreciated as a customer and always come through as promised. There is absolutely no other auto body shop in Los Angeles, or anywhere else, that I would take my car to. Absolutely awesome!!! read more

The owner is rude can't speak correct English. I would never take my car to this so called body shop. Owners beware.

I am so satisfied with the work done to my car. I got rear ended and you'd never know it. They know exactly what they are doing and it shows through their work. They got my car fixed in two days by the way. Overall a great experience. read more

This place was great I had a little problem where my car had to stay in the shop they dropped me off where I need to be and picked me up when my car was ready. Every one on their team is very friendly the treat customers as if they are family. Customer satisfaction is their number one priority. This body shop left a great impression on me I don't think I would pick any where else to trust with my cars from now on. read more

Great shop. Took my car here a few weeks ago and couldn't be more happy with the service. Naz was very knowledgable and friendly. He explained everything they were going to do so that I understood what was happening. The price was great. I will definitely be coming back next time I need work done. read more

I'm extremely happy that I found this place. I've been here quite a few times now, and I can say that they're truly real honest professionals. If you're looking for great service and high quality work done on your car, I can't recommend this place enough. read more

I live in orange county now but still plan on using this shop because i was so impressed with their work. They fixed the regulator on my window which was causing it not to roll up. (2004 MbZ CLK500) They gave me a good price and were professional and friendly. It's hard to find car repair places that you can trust so i think that driving an hour and a half to get to them from where i live now is well worth it! read more

I have been doing business with Real Body Shop for eight years. Their work is excellent, my car comes back looking brand new. As others have mentioned, they are very honest. It is a family run business and I trust them with my vehicles. They are friendly and fair. I live in Los Angeles but make the trip if I need any work done. read more

Normally when i think of a body shop, i think im gna get swindled. When my insurance company recommended real body shop i just went with it because i wanted to get my car back on the road. Well it's about time we stop stereotyping body shops because they were the most honest and most professional people i could ask to deal with. Quality and timing was perfect. Highly recommend them! read more

I got rear ended and went to this place because it was near my work. They were super awesome! They originally told me 3-4 days (which sounds right for the damage) and then they called in a day and a half & it was all done- I was elated. So quick! They also detailed my car (which other body shops don't necessarily do) so it was super nice to get a clean car back- better than when I brought it in. They were friendly too and told me to let them know if I needed anything else out my car. I would totally bring my car back here in the future :) read more

I would provide 10 stars if possible! The Real Body Shop owners and staff go ABOVE and beyond (Naz, George, Arthur). An absolute pleasure to work with, courteous, honorable and accommodating. I brought in my 2004 Toyota Tacoma damaged from an accident and left with a truck that looks practically brand new!! The body work, paint job, paint blending is impeccable. The owners want you to be completely satisfied. Naz, one of the owners, is meticulous which reflects in his work. Though an owner, Naz repairs the vehicles along with his staff. The only difficult experience was with the insurance companies. Though under what the shop desired for payment, the shop graciously accepted the insurance company's final estimate (offered a ridiculously low amount at onset - requested numerous supplements). Elated with the outcome and because extra work was done at no cost, I offered to pay more. However, the shop refused my offer. This shop is extremely concerned with their customers satisfaction: outstanding workmanship and professional integrity. I'm definitely a customer for life! read more

Everything looked great.....yeah like everyone who has given them positive reviews says...but wait a couple of years they repainted the fender on my H3 referred by the dealer to them why I don't know?? clear coat started to peal took it back they wanted to charge me to re-do their bad work....This should have been a warranty deal the rest of my car looks like brand new...of course they did not touch that. I clearly remember them saying when I had it done "Any problems if anything wrong bring it back"...yeah so they can charge me to fix it all over again. Should have at least lasted as long as the GM dealer factory paint if the dealer referred me. Also they stated that they removed the fender but didn't to paint it the new body shop showed me the over spray on the rubber seals. Would have given less stars, but like everyone else who is giving good reviews...it looked great... read more

I have a classic 1965 Buick Wildcat that I took to Real Body Shop. It sat at our family farm in Sanger, CA for over 30 years. It was rusted out and just a mess after I wrecked it as a kid. I did not want to part with the car because it was my mom and dad's car, and my sister drive me to high school and I took my drivers' test in that car. Fast forward, Nazoe, the owner of the Real Body shop in Van Nuys, CA restored my car from the frame up. He didn't cover up the rust with Bondo but took the painstaking time to weld metal into the rusted out areas which covered most of the car. He also made by hand, parts that I could not find after searching for over two months. Nazoe turned my car into a show car, which I do go to, and that car has brought back a lot of good memories and joy to a lot of people. He also oversaw and contacted the restoration of the interior and engine. Everytime I go to shows, people always ask, who restored your car and I tell them the genius at the Real Body shop, Nazoe, and without question, I pass out his business cards. Would I recommend Real Body shop for all your car needs? ABSOLUTELY!! THEY ARE THE BEST!! read more
