My dad recommended I bring my car here after I got hit in a parking lot and had damage on the driver's side bumper. Since they're a certified shop for State Farm, it made the process feel a little less stressful from the start. I stopped by one morning and explained the situation to DJ. He came out, took photos of the damage, and told me he'd email over the estimate. I actually received it pretty quickly, which I appreciated. He asked that I give him about two days' notice before dropping off the car so he could order all the necessary parts. Throughout the repair, he kept me updated by text, which I really liked. At one point, he noticed some additional damage that wasn't related to this accident and asked if I wanted it repaired, along with the cost. I appreciated that he asked first instead of just assuming. Best part -- my car was ready in just two days! The whole process was smooth, communication was great, and everyone was friendly. Definitely recommend this shop if you're looking for honest service and solid customer care. read more

Thankfully this is first time I've had to use an auto body shop and I'm glad my insurance went through S & K Automotive. The owner was AMAZING. He took the time to explain to me the process and even offered to drive me to Enterprise Car Rental. I was literally updated EVERY DAY. I was texted daily to inform me everything was going well and my car would be ready when promised. Prices were reasonable. Hopefully I don't get into a car accident again but if I need any additional auto body service S & K Automotive will be the place to go. read more

Terrible shop dj is out of touch with reality he made my car worse an did other things before asking my permission don't go here an expensive for something another auto shop would do for 1000 of dollars less 0 star if I could an he doesn't talk to you about what you want to do with your car an he acts like he knows everything even tho he doesn't touch ur car he has workers he doesn't do anything but judge you on your car an laughs don't come here ! read more

I was referred to this place from my friend & l'm extremely happy with the excellent customer service I receive from DJ & team every time I take my car in. DJ & team provide friendly, professional, quick & thorough service. DJ is honest & very helpful with answering all my questions. I highly recommend this place! read more

One issue i always have it any business automobile related is their lack of honesty. They know the average Joe doesn't know a thing about cars and they're able to rip off everyone for their own benefit. DJ and the staff are very honest and quick. This is for sure my goto spot for any auto needs going forward. read more

Very busy shop but they go out of their way to take care of you. They kept my updated on getting my door.

This auto body shop has a pretty tricky parking lot to get into but they do great work. My front bumper was repaired from an accident in February but wasn't repaired properly. I had got into another accident in September and DJ and his crew at S&K repaired the same bumper better than before. He fixed the fix. Only bad thing is my backseats were dirty, my car was clean when I gave it to him, but it was dirt stains in the back seat. Nothing I can't clean though. But yea, good service. read more

DJ and the guys at S&K has made it my place to go for the past 10 years. Unfortunately my cars have been hit a number of times both on the road and in parking lots (never get a slate grey car I guess??) They're busy because they're good and they work with State Farm, so you might have to wait to get something done, but he will be honest about the situation. On my last trip I drove off and realized there was still something off, so I called DJ up, brought it back, and he ordered the parts to get it fixed ASAP. read more

DJ and his staff provide efficient and reliable services. They have helped me with minor and major car problems I've had right away. I've come in to have my car fixed after an accident and for smaller issues such as improving my aux port. The wait time is not long, either; it's reasonable and relatively quick. Prices are affordable and not price-gouging. I also recommended to my father about bringing his car to this shop after his accident. They took care of everything and provided just the same excellent services. No complaints, overall satisfied and grateful I found this automotive repair shop near me. read more

Awesome quality body repair work! Just received my 2008 Tacoma back yesterday , great work , was ready less than a week and perfect repairs. Couldn't be happier , fast response and couldn't ask for a better job done. I found them through my State Farm insurance, would definitely recommend. read more

Ive been going to DJs since I moved out to the LA area in the early 2000s. I hate cars. I hate driving. I prefer to Uber everywhere. I always get ripped off because I'm a stereotypical woman that doesn't know cars. But not with DJ. Anyway, I had a '04 Matrix with no car payments (DJ has done all the maintenance on it) until I was in a hit and run accident! Well when I asked him about fixing it, he was honest and said it wouldn't be worth the cost. Now you KNOW another mechanic would just fix it and charge you an arm and a leg. Trust me, you'll want to take your car here for any issue. read more

DJ and his staff are very professional and really know what their doing when it comes to cars. DJ never over promises, but always over delivers. My family has been having our cars repaired here for many years. I was referred by my sister Judi. The prices are very reasonable and the service is excellent! He never replaces anything until it's time and is very honest and upfront with you from start to finish. As consumers -- he's who we should be looking for. If you ever need an auto repair or body work done try this shop. You can't go wrong. Our thanks to DJ and company!! You guys are what down to earth TRUE SERVICE is all about. read more

I had got an oil change with another place that didn't screw on the safe guard underneath to my engine. as i'm on my way to work I hear it clashing against the floor on the freeway. I so happened to be next to this auto body and none other around. I stop in and ask the gentleman if he was able to twist on a clip to the right side. it only needed one!!! and he said yeah I can but it'll be 50$. ripping me off just to literally clip on a twist on my safe guard that would take him a minute to do. i'm upset that kindness really is dissipating everywhere you go even when you do good for others. so I parked my car in their parking area and took off 5 twist with one hand because I couldnt fit under my car and they just watched me. it took me 30 min vs a couple minutes of their time. just very upsetting read more

Really great experience with staff and even better results with my car. I had some damage on the rear of my Mazda and it came back looking brand new. I will definitely be coming back if needed and would recommend anyone to come here read more

I was involved in an minor accident and I was referred to this place through state farm. Got to say it's a solid place. DJ took care of my Mercedes in a timely matter and the staff there was very nice. If you want a quick turnaround on your insurance claim this is a place to go. read more

DJ and his people are always helpful and spot on when it comes to service. To the point. I love it. They do good work, no bullshit, honest job. He is the only mechanic we trust with our vehicles. Work and personal. Trucks and Cars. read more

Since getting my car back I've received several text asking for my feedback so here it is.. Day after drop off DJ called asking can I ok the repair with my insurance so he can get paid before I even made it back to the shop to get my car, i did it so the man could get his money and go on with his other repairs.. after pickup I had to bring my car back again so they could remove some damage they made and correct other minor issues but around this DJ's attitude changed, I get it, you don't want the same cars in your shop and you probably dislike me based off something someone told you about me but honestly I don't care lmao don't get mad at the customer when I paid the deductible for the work to be done.. Be mad at the people you hired that have to slow up your day by having the same car come back in again... I wouldn't come here unless your Filipino or know people that work here. read more

Go to mechanic when the dealer has no clue... Thanks DJ and the whole shop for taking care of all my vehicles that needed work...

Great guys! DJ is the best! Very friendly and super knowledgeable. I've been in the automotive business my entire career. This is a fair and honest shop you can trust. read more

Been coming here several times a year cause my car just always seems to be having problems and they always go above and beyond. Great service, with a hardworking, and friendly staff? Couldn't ask for more. read more

My family and I have been bringing our cars here for many years and do not have to worry about being upcharged, cheated or lied to. DJ and his mechanics are honest, genuine and truly care about getting you and your vehicle back on the road. They do Smog Checks as well. read more

The did a great job fixing my bumper after some guy rear ended me. I dropped my car off on Monday and it was ready by Wednesday. They're open Monday through Friday and until 1pm on Saturday. read more

I've been taking my cars (multiple) to this shop since 2006 and D. J. has always been straight and fair with me. I don't have to worry about him charging me for unnecessary services and he has proven that he's not money hungry or penny pinching. read more

Very happy with my experience at S&K. Everyone was upfront and professional. Car was down sooner than told, and looks SO good! Kudos to Don & staff. read more

This place was recommended to me by another mechanic I was using. The work they did on my truck's transmission was very satisfactory. What I really appreciated was his honesty on what I should be expecting on the job performed. I opted to use a salvaged transmission instead of rebuilding. A rebuilt transmission is more expensive, but more durable and reliable. But he sourced the best he could for the budget I was willing to spend. Besides I'm not going to spend too much on a truck with 307,000 miles. read more

I absolutely love the fact that DJ was happy enough to take my car in and fix it. My gear shift on my BMW broke and I know not every mechanic shop fixes BMWs but he was up front with what he could do, and that was to "check it out" and let me know what was wrong with it. I had my car towed there and 2 hours later, Dj called me to say my car was fixed and ready to go. I almost fell out my chair when he told me how much I owed him! Beyond fair pricing!!! Don't go anywhere else if you want fair, quick, and honest work done!!! Thank you again DJ!!! read more

I took my vehicle into DJ last week after having two other mechanics who inspected my vehicle and could not find the problem. It was making a popping sound on the driver side wheel area each time I would go over a bump. After they test drove it and lifted the vehicle up on the rack for inspection they found that the driver side lower control arm was loose. They just had to re-tighten the nut on the control arm. Thank you for the piece of mind since I commute long distance. I would recommend S&K to look at your vehicle first before taking it to anyone else. read more

GREAT BODY SHOP! DJ and their crue are great,great pricing and they actually know what their doing...

Been going to DJ for many years now. Dont trust anyone else with my truck. His staff is knowledeable and friendly.

This place is great! I don't know why I haven't stopped going to the dealership and started coming here earlier

I was very pleased with the service I received. I called first, having been referred by a trusted friend and DJ was very professional and understanding. I dropped my car off expecting to spend a lot more money than I actually did. He was able to find the correct problem and have it fixed by the end of the day. Very Happy! read more

Don (DJ) is so knowledgeable, honest and helpful. Originally, I brought my car to a different smog center and didn't pass (and of course, I had to pay). But because it's only a smog center, they can't do any repair or check. Then I check around to find a shop with smog and repair and found some but decided to go with S & K. DJ told me that possibly it's the catalytic converter (because I replaced some emission related parts already) but they have to evaluate the cat converter to make sure it's the one causing the high NO on my previous smog. To save some money before I go with the higher level of repair, he even recommended to use "Seafoam" first (for $8), then he will check if I can pass the smog, and if I pass I only have to pay for the smog but if not, he won't charge me for the smog until he fixes the problem (which I think is a pretty good deal). The following day he run the smog but it didn't pass so I left the van in the shop. The same day and it's done. And he's right, it was the catalytic converter. I believed the fair amount that I paid for the repair was worth for the great service (plus the friendly staff). read more

This review is a few months overdue, but I could not have been more happy with S&K's service! After having moved to Los Angeles for only a month, I was sideswiped by a distracted driver. DJ did a great job of explaining all of the details of the work that needed to be done line by line, and working with S&K through the insurance company was a breeze. Anytime I need bodywork done on my car again, I will know exactly where to go. read more

I've been bringing my car here for 15 years for repairs and they are the best! Prices are always fair and often so low it surprises me. They do excellent work, they don't take advantage of me as a woman and upcharge me, and they're courteous and obviously take pride in their work. DJ is wonderful and explains everything to me clearly. I can't say enough good things about this place! read more

Probably the most genuine and caring people ive worked with! Thank you so much Made sure that my car was flawless and my safety is number one. read more

Great service! They never fail me when something goes wrong. They give honest opinions on pricing and options in case manufacturing prices are to high. I highly recommend and will continually come. read more

I got a dent in my car and was super bummed out about it. There's 2 other auto repair places right next to this but S&K is the best. One of them said it would cost $300 and take 1-2 days to fix! The other one right next to it said it couldn't be done. But S&K said it could be fixed in 1-2 hours for $80!!!! You can't even tell I had a dent before:) Great customer service and great prices as well. read more

IMPORTANT NOTICE: I highly recommend this auto body & fender shop for repairs. After my accident I went to this shop for repairs. When I received my car back it was just like if it came out of new car dealership! If that wasn't enough he proceeded to repair other dents on the car at no cost to me or the insurance company. If you live in the Carson area do business with him if you live out of the area by all means go out of your way for auto repairs at this shop!!!! OUTSTAND WORK. read more

This place is a women's worse nightmare! I say this because women always fear being taken advantage of by their mechanic and well he did it. I knew I needed to get my brakes replaced badly because I was hearing grinding so I took my car to Don at S&K and asked him to inspect my car and tell me how much he would charge me to have my brakes repaired. After inspecting it he said that both my front and back brakes needed changing and also that I needed new rotors. With that being said he told me he would charge me $500-$600 I was dumbfounded. So naturally not wanting to go with the first quote I was given I went to a couple other places and both had much more of a reasonable price than S&K. Not only did getting my brakes repaired only cost me $125 bucks but come to find out only my front brakes needed to be replaced and my rotors were able to be grinded down and did not need to be replaced yet there was minimal damage to my rotors. So all in all I felt really taken advantage of at s&k and will never go back again read more

I have had 3 vehicles that needed body work done due to accidents in the past several years and the quality of the work and attention to detail of DJ and his crew is outstanding. His rates are also very reasonable. read more
