Let's be real...no one really wants to go to an auto body place. Usually it means that you have been in an accident and your car is messed up in some way. It's usually expensive and annoying and takes forever. Not at Selecta Auto Body. I was rear-ended at a stop light and the Volvo was in bad shape, y'all. Selecta is right around the corner from my apartment and the insurance company recommended them. I went in, they did an examination of the damage. They provided me with an estimate and ordered the parts. We made an appointment for me to drop off my car when the parts came in. Dropped off the car and they had called the rental company ahead of time so they were waiting for me. JR and his team kept me informed every step of the way. Texts, emails, phone calls. The damage was worse than expected and they updated me. Clean shop, great people, cute dogs, insanely good customer service. It doesn't get better. read more

These folks have it down!! Excellent Work and will go above and beyond to accommodate you!! Getting your car banged up is not very pleasant but they somehow manage to make it as painless as possible!! They also do amazing car detailing!!! read more

Had a great experience here at Selecta, not only close to where I reside(walk to/fro), but Anthony was extremely helpful and responsive from start to finish with a small bumer replacement and light guard after someone ran into the side of my car. Anthony called when he said he would, provided an estimate as promised and scheduled me quickly....and around my busy schedule. The parts came quickly and once arrived, the work was done super fast in at 9 and done at 11 - same morning....I am 9 months pregnant with clock ticking and every minute running around counts. I truly appreciated his effort to get my car fixed ASAP - and they even fixed my rattling loosened front bumper - free(no thanks to the years of city "tappers" parallel parking in front of my car). If I ever have another bodywork need on my car(hopefully not!), I would take it here without blinking an eye! read more

My neighbor hit my (parked) car with a rented UHaul truck. Boo. I got an estimate from the dealership first (seemed like as good a place as any to start) and sent it to my neighbor. He wasn't insured for the truck, so he wanted to pay out of pocket. Being a freshly minted college graduate, he expected a gold star for having left a note when he hit me, and had no clue how much it costs to have body work done on a new(ish) car. So when he insisted on another estimate, I found Selecta on Yelp. The reviews seemed too good to be true for car repairs, but I quickly learned that Selecta has earned each of its 5-star reviews. The estimate process was quick and painless; they order all the necessary parts in advance of your repair appointment, so the repair itself only took 2 days. The estimate was a tiny bit lower than what the dealership quoted me so not necessarily a "bargain" but do you really want that when it comes to your vehicle? You kind of get what you pay for. They couldn't have been nicer or more professional either, and the shop is kind of beautiful! They clearly love what they do over there and they take pride in it, it is immediately evident. The ultimate price of the repair came in exactly at the quoted estimate, so no surprises. My previous experience with body work is that it is a hassle, expensive, and takes forever. Well at this place, it is quick and painless, efficient, and it costs what it costs. They've been in business so long, they know it's not worth it to screw anybody over. read more

Awesomely knowledgeable and honest. They do a lot of insurance work, but they also were able to help me out on a very quick (10 minutes, yes minutes) job where I just paid cash. Anthony got me a quote in about 5 minutes after I artfully ripped the side view mirror off my car. And the work was done asap when I brought the car back with a replacement part. Thanks Anthony! read more

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!!! I just got my bumper re-re-painted (after a bad job and horrible customer service at another shop). I can't believe how smoothly it all went! The PRICE WAS LOWER than the last place that did a crappy job 4 years ago. The paint job is GUARANTEED not to peel off in giant shreds like last time. The process was QUICK and EASY and they did everything they promised. Everyone who works at/owns that place seems NICE AS HELL. They surprised me by VACUUMING my tore-up kid van. Their new shop is GREEN, AWESOME and they have a REALLY CUTE DOG. COME ON! Look no more. Just pick Selecta people! read more

The A in Selecta is their rating. This place is terrific. Easy to work with, quality results, delivered ahead of time. No hassles, everything arranged. A clean shop. Wonderful people. Two really cute and friendly dogs. I'd write a longer review but there's not really much else to say. I hope I never have to go here again, I'm not really into accidents, but if I do, it's the only place I'll go. Comcast should hire the people here for millions of dollars to train their customer service reps. read more

The silver lining of getting my car rear-ended, was getting my car fixed by Selecta Auto Body. These guys are consummate professionals - service with a smile, quick appointments, frequent updates while the car was in the shop, drop-off and pick up from the rental car agency. A few months after I got the car back, I noticed that the trunk was not locking. Selecta told me to come in to have it checked out, which they promptly fixed. read more

Neighbor smashed my sweet but old BMW. Took it here since they are a preferred provider of State Farm, and couldn't be happier. Everyone was very friendly and cool, they constantly called me with updates, and the work looks perfect. The reason they get five stars is for their friendliness -- Anthony, who I dealt with, remained cheerful and pleasant even when I uncharacteristically lost my cool and started yelling at him over State Farm not wanting to pay to replace the kidney grilles. He just stood there and took it, then called State Farm and persuaded them to cover the grilles. (P.S. Sorry about that, Anthony) read more

Just picked up my truck and it looks like nothing happened at all (the previous repair work on my car was noticeable in certain light)! The workmanship was outstanding and JR was nothing but a gentleman and professional to work with. He told me what the process would be and the day he said it'd be done, it was. Hats off to JR and his crew for making my truck look less of an eyesore than it was. Now I can smile again when I look at my truck and she looks great! read more

Where do I start with this awesome review...I don't think I can speak enough to how awesome JR and his crew were to me this morning. The accident...I pretty much drove my car off a high curb and it ripped the bumper bracket off the bumper. I was literally so distraught and thought the repair was going to cost at least a grand. I did my research and found Selecta and couldn't help but read all the great reviews and shoose them as my first stop. I showed up at 730am...JR looked at it and asked if I wanted it popped back into place and I of course said yes. Popped it in and the end of the bumper piece was still sticking out and he told me the part to fix that would only be about $10 and he could order it. Then...a miracle happened...one of the guys said they have the same part (which is NEVER the case when it comes to insignificant parts like this one) from a repair they just finished. Sure enough, it was the right part - JR had one of his guys fix it in 5 minutes and only charged me for the part ($10). This was a refreshing experience considering what I was expecting - will be coming back for any other repairs to the car body (hopefully never) read more

I'm real fussy about body and paint work, and the crew at Selecta goes waaay above and beyond when it comes to quality repairs and paint. I crawl under my car and can see no sloppy overspray. I look at the fasteners that hold the fender liners together: perfect alignment, and correct factory parts. I look at the paint: Perfect metallic color match (and they even matched the factory's paint texture and subdued shine). Sure, the driveway is steep, but the climb is worth it. You'll be treated well, everything is clearly explained, and the work quality is amazing! Are there any other repair shops that have so many stars? Thanks, Selecta. Larry read more

I took my Lexus SUV to Selecta Auto Body and had a fantastic experience with them. Their service was exceptional and the quality of work and attention to detail was really impressive. The car had a number of key scratches, bumps and dents from driving/parking in SF, minor accidents that had cause some damage to some of the doors, etc. It now looks pristine and JR and his team at Selecta have really done a terrific job. 1. The owner, JR, was incredibly responsive. From the day we dropped the car off, he was attentive and ready to make sure that we got a fair deal. He always was looking for ways to maximize the fixes without exorbitant costs. JR always had great ideas on how things could get fixed without having to do full part replacements, etc. 2. JR quoted a number of days to fix the car and it was done in exactly that time. I was so appreciative that he was upfront right from the start and told us how long it would take and that he'd try to go as fast as he could. He gave us regular status updates so that we knew where things stood. He would also call if he had come up with different ways to fix the issues that could save us money. 3. The car looked almost brand new when JR brought it back. He had fixed everything and also done a full detail on the inside of the car. It was incredible how he got rid of all the scratches and marks all over the car so thoroughly. He also focused on every part of the car and resolved all the major problems with the doors, bumpers, etc. 4. The price was very reasonable and very fair. JR really worked hard to avoid the very costly fixes and found ways to get the problems resolved without having to take a very expensive route. We really appreciated this very much. Bottom line is that JR and his team are really incredibly professional and their work is of extremely high quality. I truly appreciated the great service JR and his team provided and am really enjoying my "new" car!! read more

Calling many auto body shops in the area and trying to find someone to fix my rear ended Honda. I got a lot of shop that seemed to have no clue ( I even got hung up on) Then I talked to Andy at Selecta and I knew right away I was in good hands. Dealing with an the aftermath of a car accident is a pain but Selecta and Andy made it painless. From start to finish I felt taking care of. I was informed all steps of the way. When I got my car back it was good as new! They go above and beyond to make their clients happy and on there way as soon as possible. If I ever need an auto body shop again... I will be calling Selecta! They are the BEST! read more

They hooked me up! Had my mirror smashed off, they fixed it up for an awesome deal. Lovely people, quick and reliable service. Mirror looks brand new! 10/10 recommend. read more

I've created my yelp account for several years now I believe, there hasn't been a business that has impressed me so much that I know I have to write an excellent review for. Selecta Auto Body, you have impressed me so much with your excellent service that I know, I have to pop my cherry and write my first review. I brought my car in because someone hit me in the rear, I chose this body shop because of their yelp reviews and yelp did not lie! Everyone there is super professional and friendly, Anthony was the one that took care of me and my car the whole time. He is extremely easy to talk to, professional, he has a lot of knowledge, definitely good at what he does, and boy, he definitely goes above and beyond to ensure his customers are happy! I was really happy with my experience with selecta, there hasn't been any business that has awe me so much in their service. I will definitely come back and would recommend this place to everybody I know. Oh forgot to mention about one thing, my car looks brand new after it was repaired, their workmanship is also beyond expectation! read more

Took my car over here after it got vandalized while I was volunteering and was treated very professionally and fairly. Even though I'd never had any contact with the shop before and was potentially a new customer, I feel like I got treated very fairly and that the guy who runs the place - JR - did an excellent job of properly & comprehensively assessing the damage. I ended up getting an offer through my extended family that I simply couldn't pass up, but I felt that I needed to leave Selecta a review for their outstanding work despite my not getting them this particular job. Unlike some auto body shops that see you as a number and are trying to extract as much cash out of you as possible, these guys have a great deal of expertise and actually care about their customers, and it really shows. A lot of places have forgotten the importance of conducting business with integrity - not these guys. Thanks, Selecta, I'll be back. read more

Great shop with great people. I've brought my car in a few times now, and the service has always been excellent. If your car is there for a while, they'll call and give you updates. They held my car for a few extra days while I was out of town, were understanding when I was late for a pick-up, and buffed out a couple extra scratches too. They also do their best to use eco-friendly products - love it! read more

Amazing experience. Had an accident involving the rear spoiler of my 2018 CRV and the garage. Gene was very helpful over the phone, was able to get me in for an inspection and ordered the part right away. Part was backordered, no need for a deposit, and when the part came in 2.5 weeks later, was able to get the car in and fixed up within half a day. Car interior was vacuumed, car wash as washed - amazing service throughout. Would recommend to anyone. read more

Excellent body shop. I had an accident with gate on Nissan Rouge at end of June. Selecta was great keeping in touch with us and informing of us of the status each day. They also negotiated with our insurance company for billing. When I returned to pick up vehicle it was vacuumed and ready to drive home. Emily and staff were very responsive to questions. I hope I don't have to return again but I would definitely recommend these folks. read more

They did a great job on my wife's Rav-4, plus they did a few extra things like buffing out some scratches and getting a new rubber pad for the rear bumper. Toyota does not have an extra pad to cover the rear bumper, so they used a pad made for a Subaru, it fit perfectly. It was a pleasure dealing with Gene, he was very helpful and professional. I would highly recommend Selecta Auto Body to my family and friends read more

I was super annoyed when I found my car vandalized one morning. Typical SF. Selecta was the closest body shop my insurance recommended. They were SO NICE, super informative and fast. And my car looked beautiful when I picked it up, totally spotless and sanitized!!! read more

Whether you need a 1965 TBird frame off restoration or just want to get your Mini a full detail, Selecta is the best in the City, perhaps even beyond for body work, paint, detailing and yes, even managing car restoration projects. Service is the best, the location is convenient and the work is top tier. read more

Selecta just set the standard for 21st-century auto shop service! I had a (self-inflicted) accident to my side mirror. I thought maybe I could make fixing it easy, so I just emailed photos to a couple of auto shops, saying "Call me if you can fix this." Within a couple of hours Selecta called. Anthony (?) asked a couple more questions about my car and gave me a quote. I was able to book it without having to come by for an estimate! Then he called back 2 days later when the part was in, I pulled in... and 20 minutes later I was driving away with the new mirror! And that's including the bit of extra work they had to do that my photos couldn't show. It couldn't possibly have been easier or more pleasant. Meanwhile, the other place (highly rated in Yelp too) hasn't even responded to my email... Life made easier by the Internet plus leading-edge customer service. read more

Cheerful, honest, competent service. Been there twice, very helpful both times. I would recommend to anyone.

The service was friendly and smooth, the work was done well, pick up and drop off were made very convenient. I just got my car home and noticed that they even did a little extra paint touch up on part of the car that was not included in the work order. Highly Recommended. read more

Unless you own a classic car that made you methodically research who is the best to help restore your baby then you've likely left out "best auto body shops" in the bay area outside of your list of best coffee shops. Enter "Selecta Auto Body"! Getting involved in a fender bender or major car accident will likely leave you scrambling on where to take it; there are as many options in SF as there are coffee shops! Save yourself the time and just head over to Selecta. They do more than just quality work on your car. Their customer service from beginning to end is what we're missing in this day in age where we have accepted apps and automation for service. I have had the unfortunate experience of being the recipient of inept driving twice and both times Selecta made it right by providing a reassuring level of service and predictable timeline of return. While I don't ever want to get into another incident at least I can breath easy knowing there's a shop like Selecta. AND yes, I do have a '66 mustang convertible and can't wait to have them work on it---research completed! read more

These guys are absolute legends! I stopped in to ask about a big dent in my front bumper and the manager said that one of his guys could look at it and fix it right then and there. It took them about 10 minutes and he didn't even charge me. This is some serious awesome. He just said to keep them in mind in the future when I had more serious auto body damage. I will definitely be going here for any and all body work in the future. Seriously can't recommend these guys enough. Super helpful and friendly! Thanks! read more

Selecta is by far, the best body shop ever! And believe me when I said the best ever! I've been bringing all my cars since, I guess more than 10 years ago. And every time they get just better and better. From little scratches to major body works. These guys are just simply the best. I am actually happy that I just got a little scratch in my brand new GTI because I know my car will look way better once we come out from Selecta. :-) Cannot wait to bring my car this Friday! Thank you!!! read more

It is a wonderful experience at Selecta Auto Body. The team is efficient, professional, and friendly. They helped me to fix the side door like brand new, and also touched up the scratches all around... They deserve 5 stars reward!! read more

Great service. Received regular updates on the work, paperwork was orderly, car came back looking good as new, and the employees couldn't have been any nicer. Great and recommended shop. read more

This place is great! They are fast and efficient! First time not feeling intimidated walking in an auto body shop because they were very nice! read more

Andy is the best. They did a fantastic job and worked with my insurance, and kept in close contact every step of the way. They also arranged for a rental with pick up and drop off. Highly recommend! read more

Selecta Auto Body provided great service from the very start. Communication was solid throughout the entire process. Great team, shout out to the front office. Great customer service! They did an amazing job on my car! Looks like brand new! This place is leading the way. Setting standards high on all fronts. read more

I can't say enough good things about my experience at Selecta. Both of the owners, J.R. and Anthony, were very friendly and knowledgeable and provided daily updates via email on the status of the job. J.R. even personally gave me a ride home when I initially dropped the car off. The service was also extremely prompt: I brought my Prius in on a Monday for extensive body work and I had it back looking like new by Friday, and they had it detailed no less. Their new facility is immaculate, it felt like more like a showroom than a body shop. They don't seem to skimp on materials and it shows, the refinished areas of the car are indistinguishable from the original paint. Can't recommend these guys enough, they seem to have a genuine passion for what they do and that shows in how they treat their customers. Hopefully I don't sideswipe a tree with my car again, but if I do I know where I'm headed after. read more

Huge thank you to Andy and the whole team at Selecta for doing such a great job on the car!! It looks brand new! Really appreciate all the extra attention paid to our vehicle to make it shine! And while I wish I didn't have to visit a body shop at all... I am VERY glad that such a professional and thorough shop is also local! Accidents do happen and Selecta does a great job putting the pieces back together good as new! read more

They were extremely courteous and helpful. I really appreciated their transparency and updates by text.

This place is incredible. I went for an estimate for my bumper, which had popped out on one side. Rather than recommend a complete replacement (estimated $1200), the guys at Selecta were able to pop it back in within 2 minutes, free of charge. Not only that, I had a few cosmetic scratches on two wheel wells, which they buffed out for me without me even having to ask. Incredible service, can't recommend highly enough. I'll never take my car anywhere else. read more

I very rarely leave Yelp reviews but I had such a positive experience with Selecta Auto Body that I wanted to share ... Previously Selecta had replaced the splash shield under my car. I took my car in today for just some minor fixes (somewhat related to the same incident as the splash shield replacement) and explained that I did not need to replace the full bumper to have it look perfect - just to get it back to safe driving condition. Selecta did a couple small things and did not even charge me (nothing, nada, zero). They have made me into loyal customer!! I highly recommend Selecta as an honest auto body shop (so rare). Great COVID safety protocols as well. read more

Omg another side swipe! Andy and JR were awesome and made my car look like new! Can't forget the wonderful customer service of the staff and Jackie. read more
