The 5 star reviews don't lie! After reading others' reviews, I decided to give South Bay Auto Collision a try and I couldn't be happier. I had an issue with the undercarriage of my Tesla M3. The bottom framing was starting to fall apart and I could hear it dragging on the road as I drove. I called last Wednesday morning to see if I could stop by for a quote as I was nearby. The front desk said yes. I drove up and Chris saw me and took a look at my car and knew immediately what part needed to be replaced. He showed me a print out of the part that he would be ordering as well as the price for the parts and labor. The breakdown of the pricing for both parts and labor were clear and I also felt that pricing was fair so I decided to proceed without a second opinion. (To be fair, this work is fairly simple.) Chris explained that he would be ordering the parts and then when it arrived, he would call me to schedule a time that I could bring the car back for the repair. He estimated the parts would arrive in 2-3 business days. (I did pay for the parts upfront.) Chris called me the following day to tell me that apparently Tesla has increased the price of the part I needed and he further explained that if he ordered it for me, Tesla was going to charge a $200 shipping fee. He recommended that I buy the part myself from Tesla service center and pick it up to avoid the $200 shipping fee. He explained exactly the part that I needed ("front aero shield") and how much it would cost from Tesla. I did a quick search online about ordering parts from Tesla and how to find the correct part. It didn't take much longer than 15 minutes before I had the part ordered. Tesla sent me a confirmation a few minutes later that I could go and pick it up. Picking up the part at Tesla was easy too. Then I called Chris back once I had picked up the part and he told me that I could go in the following day (Friday) at 9am (also convenient time for me) so he could repair it for me. He told me it would take about an hour. I show up on Friday on time, and Chris is ready. They got it done in about 30 minutes and charged me for 30 minutes of labor. They refunded me the difference for the extra I paid (since I had prepaid the part) and I already see it credited to my card. Overall, they were very easy to work with and communication was perfect. I had a fairly simple problem and they solved it for me within a matter of 3 days. I also very much appreciate Chris saving me $200 shipping fees. These are some honest people that I would love to do business with again when it's needed... nobody wants car troubles of course, but I am glad these guys are around if I need their help. read more

Nas and his team did amazing work on my Tesla Model 3. Got into a small accident and they made the process simple with realistic timelines. Will be referring friends and family to them. read more

Outstanding Service and Quality Work! I had an amazing experience with South Bay Auto Collision. The entire team was professional, honest, and very detail-oriented from start to finish. They kept me updated throughout the repair process and delivered my car looking absolutely perfect -- just like new! It's rare to find a body shop that truly cares about both the workmanship and the customer, but this place goes above and beyond. The paint match was flawless, and they finished the job earlier than expected. Highly recommend South Bay Auto Collision to anyone looking for quality repairs and great customer service. HIGHLY RECOMMEND read more

Went to 2 other local body shops and South Bay Auto Collision was the best deal in terms of price. Customer service was excellent and once replacement part arrived the installation and labor was exceptional quality. read more

Had my wife's 4runner worked on here, great customer service. Communicated with us what needed to be done and they didn't waste anytime. Robert and Wilson took good care of us! Happy with the work they did! read more

Can't say enough good things about this place. Customer service is top notch and the quality of work is great. The fact that I'll go an hour out of my way to have them work on my cars says a lot. I've taken three different cars to Southbay Auto over the years and have always been happy with how they handle everything from start to finish. Highly recommend them. read more

Nas at South Bay is the man. He was able to get my GTI cleaned up and repainted PERFECTLY after a fender bender. I'm always wary about blending 10 yo metallic paint but they nailed it here. Will 100% be recommending this place to all the homies. read more

I highly recommend this shop for your auto body needs. I brought my 2012 Maxima in with some rust in the corner of the front windshield. They removed the windshield and found a lot more rust. They took many photos of the issue, communicated all with me so I completely understood the situation. They quoted me a very reasonable price and finished the work on time. The repair and the subsequent paint matching is absolutely perfect. I am a bit surprised they did such a complete and beautiful job for the price they charged me. I will definitely be back if I am ever in need of any auto body work. read more

Best Shop all around! From insurance claims, to roadside assistance, and paint quality! Here's why this is my choice as auto collision center. I had an accident recently and I was pretty far out of town, but luckily I was able to get in contact with South Bay and they provided me a tow to their facility! After dropping off my vehicle, they worked with me right away and provided an inspection report as well as help me make my claim process as smooth as possible. The turnaround was quick after repairs were approved by the insurance company. They were able to source all of my panels and paint match them to perfection! I mean literally PERFECTION! If you don't like mismatched color shades then this is for you! Their paint match for my 3 stage paint looked like there wasn't even a flaw on the vehicle and you couldn't even tell if you looked up close! I would recommend anyone to come by and take a look! Ask to look at their current work and it will show for itself! The attention to detail is phenomenal, customer service is unmatched!! Coming back soon for a few projects... read more

It was really pricey, to be honest I did get quoted cheaper at other places but eventually chose this one due to their customer service & professionalism. The guys here were super helpful & knowledgeable. Very accommodating too which I HIGHLY appreciated. There were times when I needed to drop off my car later or pick up my car on a day they're usually not open and they were super accommodating and helpful like I mentioned. My car came out looking brand new! I do recommend this spot! read more

Our 2022 RAV4 Prime sustained significant front end damage. The GEICO estimator suggested we consider this collision repair center.

5 star for these guys. I needed my bumper and fender painted and told Fernando and his team I wanted OEM paint with very lil orange peel. The bumper looked great and came out amazing. There's a spot that needed to be color sanded and Fernando told me to bring it in and he'll get it squared away. Miguel's detailing after paint work is pretty damn good. We are human, we are not perfect. How it's handled on the other hand is what matters alot afterwards. Great work guys read more

I just now picked up my red Toyota Camry from South Bay Auto Collision Inc. and want to share how wonderful this company is. I dropped the car off on Monday and it was done by 1:00 pm today, Wednesday. What a beautiful job Khalil and Fernando did! The badly peeling paint was removed from the bumper and a gorgeous, chip-resistant coating was expertly applied and beautifully buffed. To make sure the paint matched perfectly, they repainted the engine hood as well. They even cleaned and defogged the badly yellowed headlights, washed the whole car's exterior, and cleaned the interior. The car looks absolutely brand new - reborn! Khalil, Fernando, and Jessica are so friendly, caring, conscientious, and skilled at what they do. I am a forever fan. read more

True customer service built on skills, know-how and integrity was my experience at South Bay Auto Collision Inc. in Hawthorne. They saved me upwards of $2,000 (based on quotes from other collision repair shops) by suggesting my car's paint might be OK/and what appeared to be damage was the paint from the pole the car struck. They were correct! The errant paint was removed, followed by buffing, and it looked amazing! No one wants to have a damaged car, but knowing there are still helpful and honest businesses like South Bay Auto Collision Inc. makes it a lot more manageable. read more

We had a damaged the plastic apart above the wheel - Tesla wanted $600 to replace it, Khalil took a look at it and fixed it with an adhesive for free! Can't say enough good things about this place.

Someone bumped into my Toyota Rav4 passenger door and some companies wanted to replace the entire door. Mike after reviewing it said he could fix it without replacement. I was skeptical at first and told him I am very detailed and annoying with paint differences. This guy performed a miracle! You literally can't tell anything ever happened to the door. I was in shock! His company and the people that work for him did an extraordinary job. I highly recommend him for sure. He is super talented! read more

Great service from the folks down at SBAC. From the office staff to the repair team, everybody was professional, friendly and attentive. Fernando was awesome. My wife's Honda Fit was rear ended by a large truck and needed quite a bit of repair work. The vehicle was not only repaired on time but came back looking better than new. By some bad luck, my car was also in an accident around the same time. I immediately switched from the other party's recommended autobody shop which had subpar service to have SBAC do the inspection because of our great experience there. I highly recommend South Bay Auto Collision. Great job. read more

Dropped my 2010 BMW M3 off here to get some massive scratches repainted on the front bumper. The guys here do an AMAZING job. My bumper looks brand new!

They even washed my car before I picked it up! read more

I am very satisfied and would recommend this auto body shop. I got 7 estimates from different body repair shops, so I was "educated". I selected South Bay Auto Collision based on the good reviews and the lowest estimate. I was given a huge discount since I was referred by Joe's Dent Removal. I had to rely on my trust in Fernando as I had no experience with this. I hesitated as they have no active website. They did extra work - aligned my trunk - which was not factored into estimate - at no extra charge. This extra repair added to the quality of their workmanship standard. The final cost did not exceed the initial estimate. I put the deposit down 2/12 and saved my place in line for repair - I think they started ordering parts. I left the car 2/19 and it was ready for pickup on 2/23 - well before the estimated time. The workmanship and customer service were beyond my expectations. I will recommend South Bay Auto Collision to anyone in need of body repair. Thank you, Fernando, Jessica and the rest of the team!!!!!! read more

South Bay Auto Collision SAVED ME A TON OF MONEY! My boyfriend hit a curb with the front end in our newly purchased M4 and we were devastated. Every body shop we went to said that they would have to replace the entire bumper and it would be at least $1200 to fix. Mind you we only had the car for 1 day. Luckily the guys over at South Bay Auto Collision offered an easy and cost effective solution. Now our baby is looking brand new again and we are without a hole in our pockets. They were fast, friendly and most importantly savvy about the repair we needed. I highly recommend South Bay Auto Collision and am happy to be a customer. read more
