Before repair 2
Marc D.

An accident left some minor scratches on the back right end of my car. It hadn't been damaged before and was still fairly new, so I wanted to get it fixed properly. The party at fault and I agreed to handle the repair privately to avoid the hassle of insurance. While searching Yelp, I used Yelp's project feature -- which automatically sent my inquiry to several local body shops -- and that's how I discovered SMT. I chatted with Maher, who quoted me around $1,000. He was completely transparent, explaining what the pricing meant and what "by-the-book" repairs should include. Even more impressive, he told me I could reach out anytime for advice on other quotes, even if I didn't choose his shop -- and he genuinely meant it. I received quotes ranging from $500 to $1,600. The cheaper ones would have fixed it but not properly, while the higher ones followed correct repair procedures. I sent all these quotes to Maher for his input & his honesty and insight helped me a lot. It came down to SMT and another highly rated shop. Despite being more expensive($1.6k) I almost chose that shop since they had someone leave a positive review with photos of the same exact car model and color -- but ultimately, I trusted SMT more because of Maher's transparency. I dropped my car off on Monday and had it back by Thursday afternoon. The repair was flawless -- it looks like nothing ever happened. SMT even cleaned and detailed my car before pickup. Highly recommend SMT if you want fair pricing, honesty, and great work. They also work with all major insurance companies, and if you're paying out of pocket, they might be able to lower the cost to help you out.

My Tesla Model Y was parked in downtown Walnut Creek when someone backed into it and hit the rear bumper including a parking sensor that began triggering multiple error messages. I took the car to SMT Auto Body. Maher inspected it and told me what they would do to restore it back to a new condition. He was very friendly and felt very credible. He even gave me a tour of his body shop! I just picked up my car, and it is absolutely perfect. The repair work is flawless, and the car is spotless. I couldn't be happier with the results. This is officially my new Body Shop

Great local shop, in the neighborhood kind of shop. Service professional and friendly. My 2004 has a new headlight and bumper. I was recently hit on the el camino by an uninsured motorist. Maher and the guys took my car in unannounced and made it like new. The extra step of cleaning the car inside and out was a special, over the top addition. The price was very affordable. As I stated , the driver who hit me was uninsured, the shop worked with me to do what was necessary.

Moises and his guys are awesome to work with. I've had my wife Aston Martin, My Porsche Cayman S, and my VW R32 all worked on by them. Reasonable prices and very knowledgeable and helpful for all budgets.

1000/5 stars! Mahar and his team were excellent helping me fix my bumper after an accident. He was extremely polite, professional, and went above and beyond to help me & make sure I understood the entire process. My car has never looked better and the paint match was exceptional. There was thorough communication while my car was in their shop and I picked it up exactly within the estimated timeframe provided. I will definitely be coming here for any additional work on my car. Could not recommend this place more highly! You will be in great hands here!

SMT was recommended by another trusted vendor. Moises did a great job in refinishing my Porsche Macan Lights at a very decent price. Also, buffed up the fog lights. SMT team is highly trusted and recommended!

I had such an amazing experience with SMT Auto Body! From start to finish, they walked me through the process, kept me updated during insurance adjustments and truly went above and beyond to make sure my car looked like it just rolled off the showroom floor. I couldn't be happier with the results! The quality of work speaks for itself!

The best Auto Body Shop! I've unfortunately been in a few accidents, but every time, SMT Auto Body has delivered nothing short of exceptional service. Their team goes above and beyond--handling every step of the process with professionalism and care. My car has always come back looking flawless. Truly a 15/10 experience every time!

This review is over due, I was locked out of my car a year ago and I had airport towing called to…read morehelp me get in. Once at the scene, the gentleman whom I forgot his name, I think it was the owner, immediately figured out how to get my door open and I was on my way. 5 Stars cause he didn't nickel and dime knowing i was in a bad situation. Thanks for being honest.

My car broke down a while ago and I finally called a shop who referred me here for towing. I…read morecalled them on a saturday morning at around 10:20 and they said they would be around 1.5 hours. I found this to be a little long because I never said that I was sitting comfortably in my apartment, I could have had a flat on the road...but maybe this isn't that kind of towing. Anywho, I waited around for 2 hours, called them another 2 times after that with only an answering machine to quell my questions. Finally I decided that I had better things to do that day and I left. They never asked for my address or car type so I was sure I wasn't wasting their time. The next week I convinced myself it was a fluke and I called them on Tuesday afternoon to which they gave me an ETA of 1 hour. I made sure they had my address, car type, and phone number this time. However, they were still late! I called them 30 minutes after they were supposed to be there and apparently they were 10-15 mins out. Once the guy FINALLY got there he was really nice and helpful. So it's obviously just bad organizational skills. {sigh} what an ordeal.

I had a deeply disturbing experience at Action Towing…read more This incident occurred on Saturday, May 30, 2026, at approximately 3:00 PM. I was waiting in my car while my husband was inside Action Towing picking up parts. A female employee approached me and told me to move my vehicle. I immediately responded politely, "Yes, I will move my car, thank you," and began positioning myself to leave. Rather than allowing me the opportunity to comply, she continued to escalate the situation. She called me deaf and blind, repeatedly threatened to tow my vehicle, and then told me, "You said you would move your car and now you're still here. It's a lack of integrity." At that point, I had already acknowledged her request and made it clear that I would move. I was not refusing to leave, arguing, or creating a problem. I was simply trying to get situated so I could move my vehicle safely. What was most upsetting was not being asked to move, that was her job. It was the unnecessary hostility, personal insults, and threatening behavior that followed after I had already agreed to comply. Her demeanor was intimidating, confrontational, and completely unprofessional. I remained calm throughout the interaction, and unfortunately it felt as though my calm and respectful approach only encouraged her to continue speaking to me in a way that I found bullying and demeaning. When I asked for her name so I could report the incident, she refused to provide it. I also asked for her manager's name, and she refused to provide that as well. I have never been spoken to this way by an employee of any business. There is no excuse for calling a customer deaf, blind, or accusing them of lacking integrity when that customer is already cooperating. Employees represent a company, and this type of conduct reflects very poorly on Action Towing. Management should have no difficulty identifying the employee involved based on the date and time above. I sincerely hope no one else has to experience this type of treatment.
