I have came to Steve for a number of different car issues in the past. A couple of months ago I was rear ended and he was able to properly access the damage to my car. He was able to assess it properly so the insurance can properly pay me out. Me and my wife came to him to get her car fixed also because the locking mechanism was messed up for her Accord. Steve was super helpful and gave a reasonable price to get it fixed. read more

I don't even know how to begin to praise the work that Steve and his team did on my car. Not only did repairs only take less than a couple weeks, but I was updated throughout the process with pictures and I more than satisfied with the outcome of repairs. The whole process was so smooth and Steve is one of the best if not, THE best body shop owner I have ever come across. He truly cares about helping out his customers, and I find this extremely admirable. 10/10 service thank you so much!! read more

Great people! My dad was driving earlier today and somehow a cat went underneath the car. I tried getting 911 and called other animal regulation agency and couldn't get any help. Luckily, Ralph was at the shop and he helped us looked under the car searching for the cat. I really appreciated his service, especially when it was late night and no one else was able to help us. read more

Steve is a professional through and through! The entire process was so smooth and painless. The vehicle was finished ahead of schedule, and the work is perfection! Highly Recommended! No other shops take care of their customers like Steve at TL! read more

Great body shop. I've been using them for about 10+ years now I was referred to one of my buddies that knows the owner Steve. Steve is a good guy who works with you and is fair on pricing for body work and what not. Another good thing is they have a mechanic by the name of Ralph on site and he can do maintenance work or even aftermarket installation so it's pretty much a 1 stop all if you need things done. I've been having my 370z worked here and I'll continue to use them even though the shop is actually about 30 miles away from me. Ralph the mechanic has been working on my car w/ the aftermarket parts since I bought it so I trust him. read more

I cannot thank Steve and his staff enough for fixing my mirror the same day I brought it in. Steve is a funny dude and his service is very affordable if you're looking to do any fixes to your car. My friend referred me to TL for their pricing and location. Steve kept me company while waiting on my mirror and he was able to fix it as fast as he could. I cannot stress how thankful I am for their good vibes and helpfulness. Highly recommend this place for your car needs read more

Steve and his team did it again! I've brought all my cars to TL since 2010. Their quality of work and service tops all the body shops I've been to. read more

I've brought several cars here since 2016 for body works after accidents and have always been very pleased with the work done. Im a perfectionist so quality is extremely important to me. Once I had my car repaired at another popular shop recommended by insurance and the repair was lopsided. This shop fixed it to perfection. Thanks Steve! read more

I came in Saturday and they told the mechanic would be there in 1 hour. I waited for 2 hour and ended up leaving without getting any service from them. Steve insisted that the mechanic was on the way and will be there in 20 minutes. The shop opened at 10am that day I don't understand why the "mechanic" still hasn't arrived at 2 hours after it open. read more

I recently got into a little accident with debris on the freeway and ultimately hurt my car pretty bad. However I was referred by a friend to check out TL Autobody. I would say they were pretty quick with the work they did and make my car look better. I went to another body shop and was told I needed a whole new bumper, however when I stopped by at TL Steve told me it wasn't necessary as everything is ok. I appreciated that Steve only believed that I needed to purchase what was needed and nothing extra. I was able to get all of the work needed to get my car back on track at a fraction of the cost of other body shops. Steve was very helpful in getting my car back to its original condition. Shockingly with the parts and everything in him and his team were able to finish my car in a day! I can't thank him enough to make my baby look good again! read more

Honest, fast, affordable. Steve has taken care of my family's cars no less than 4 times now and he has always dealt with me honestly and openly. A job that other big name collision centers wanted over a grand for, he did for $350. Even with insurance, he has helped guide us through the process with his years of experience. The only problem is he has too much business, the man needs a day off. If your car needs body work, you owe it to yourself to at least get a quote, the work was seamless. Look around, how many other autobody places have no one star reviews on both Google Maps and Yelp. I'm not sure I've ever seen any business with as many and as consistent positive reviews as Steve and his team at TL read more

Found Steve and TL Autobody through a referral. I needed to fix large paint corrosions on the quarter panel and the roof of my 2017 Camry. Saw Steve on a Thursday and he gave me a more than reasonable quote. Dropped off the car the next day and let Steve and his team go to work. Received the callback a week later and the car was done! They did a great job all around with the blending and paint matching. Steve even smoothed out parts that weren't in the original invoice at no extra cost. What a guy! read more

I was looking for an auto shop close to my area. Got quotes from two other places, but prices were pretty steep. Came in and talked to Steve, he said he didn't need to replace my door and fender, he could just fix it, but still offer both prices for whatever direction wanted. I opt to have it fixed instead of replacing the parts, and to my surprise, after it was fixed looked brand new! Took only a week to get my car back. Thank you Steve and his amazing team! Happy customer! Already recommending my friends and family here. read more

Gather all your paperwork that's related to your car and go ask for Steve (Tell them Ray/Jack sent you) and he'll handle the rest of all the BS. No... he's not interested in making a side-cut outta your situation/car. If you want your car to be reported as totaled, talk to him, if you want him to repair it to the best of their capabilities, talk to him. One thing for sure is that Steve wouldn't settle for less. He took care of my 2019 BMW 330i that had its front bumper shredded by a 4X4 metal rod on the fast lane. He wouldn't stop pursuing until he got the original OEM front bumper replacement. SFarm was hoping I/Steve would accept a salvaged front bumper from the junkyard. Needless to say, Steve simply told them be better. However this did happen before COVID-19 decided to enter our society. Nowadays all I can recommend is be patient with Steve and his team. Let them work. The pandemic done turned the world upside-down so replacement parts are scarce and harder to come by, workers are exhausted, the tedious process of filing and completing paperwork/contracts are strained. read more

Steve and the staff at TL Autobody are the real deal. Customer service, honesty and most importantly - the work are all exceptional. I brought my car in for some dent/ scratch repair and respray. I cannot tell where the original scratches were prior to repair. Steve is very upfront about all processes and only uses OEM parts and top notch paint. He's extremely knowledgeable about cars and gave me pricing that was more than fair for the finished product. He answered all my questions about insurance and worked with me to get the best deal possible. I can confidently say my first experience with TL Bodyshop made a customer for life. Highly, highly, highly recommend this shop. It's five stars for good reason! read more

Last year near Christmas I was involved in a bad car accident on my newly bought Honda. Tommy and Steve ensured me everything will be restored in a good condition and also assured me life time warranty if anything went wrong. They have pride of the job they do to make the car look and drive like a brand new again. They made sure to order good parts and did nice sunshine job to my Honda. I haven't had chance to upkeep my yelp so I am finally uploading my post. This is a go-to, most trusted place for your car fix! They had it washed and policed like a new car when after they repaired my car. My friend who introduced me to this place thought my seat was replaced too since it was polished so well~ Also, unlike other bodyshops, they are very welcoming and friendly. read more

I will preface this review by saying I drive a modified wrx and am pretty anal about a lot of random car stuff. I took my car here to repaint my trunk and rear bumper. Also a sti limited trunk lip paint and install. Tommy walked me through the whole process of my car taking pictures of the parts dismounted all the way to the finished product. Fast and easy communication showing me my car is in good hands. Quality paint job can't even tell it was resprayed. Tommy is a stand up dude and is willing to help you as if you were one of his close homies. When all was said and done I went to pay and was small talking with Steve. Steve is a funny guy cracking jokes and talking about his Mugene'd out garage queen. It's just good to go to a shop and know all the people working there are serious car heads and not just there for the pay check. Latest update: Same great experience with more parts. Ordered an OEM STI bumper through TL. Had them paint and install/cut to fit with my Cusco power brace alongside installing new bumper side splitters, new front lip, JDM fog lights, and new crash beam. As you can see from the pictures it's flawless. Couldn't be happier with the service I get here! read more

What can I say? The owner Steve is a storyteller - every time I come to the shop to check the status of my car, he always has something interesting to talk about - sometimes he talks about ins and outs of insurance company, sometimes he gives a step-by-step walk-through and go over each part listed on the adjuster's estimate sheet. Again, Steve runs his business with integrity and he does NOT hide things from his customers. [Background] Unfortunately I got into a car accident back in March 2017, but luckily I was able to tell my AAA tow truck to drop off my car at TL Autobody because the shop actually closed pretty late on Saturday. [Process] * I got an estimate on the following Monday and visited Steve few days later to discuss the estimate. Steve took his time and go over each item listed on the estimate. * Originally the estimate amount of time to fix the car was 1.5 ~ 2 weeks, but it was extended to 3 weeks instead. Since Steve is always busy and doesn't necessary has time to respond to my emails, I just visited once a week to check the status of my car. Steve is a very patient person - he explained and gave me detailed status updates on all of my visits. Personally I didn't care too much about the one week delay because 1) I was able to save some money with Steve and 2) I was VERY satisfy with the final work product. * After my car was ready to pick up, Steve personally went over each coating job and explained it very thoroughly. Steve didn't want me to pay the total repair amount (in this case I told the insurance company to send the reimbursed check directly to me) unless I was completely satisfied. During the final checkup, Steve noticed the missing hubcap, immediately ordered an OEM part, and popped the new hubcap back in one week later. * About a week after I picked up my car, one of my friends noticed the missing radio antenna and one of Steve's assistants apologized, immediately ordered the radio antenna part, and installed it back without any questions asked. [Conclusion] Steve does his business by word of mouth and I will recommend this autobody to my friends and coworkers in the SGV (San Gabriel Valley) area. read more

Steve is the man! I've been a customer of TL Autobody for many years. Whether it be a small fender bender or a dead battery, Steve is able to fix it within a reasonable time at a price that cannot be matched. His extensive knowledge and passion of cars is evident in the quality of his work. No bells and whistles, just a very solid autobody shop. Would and have recommended this shop to many. read more

Steve and Tommy are the most friendly and helpful guys around! They did a rear bumper, front lip, and sideskirt install on my 2004 Infiniti M45 at a very reasonable price. Paint quality and color match are near spot on. They also do other work such as installs and alignmentd and have helped me do a (quite tedious) Legacy facelift bumper install which required a lot of time and finding the right parts that I needed, including a new reinforcement bar from the junkyard. Thanks for painfully helping me through all that BS hahaha All in all, definitely would recommend TL to any of my friends; hands down the best body shop in the 626! read more

Steve and Tommy are amazing at what they do. They fixed the rear passenger door of my Mazda CX5 and color matched it perfectly. That was so good that I had them color match the panels of my Honda Grom to my Mazdaspeed3 too. I'd recommend them to anyone looking to get their cars or bikes painted expertly and looking like they rolled off the showroom floor. read more

I had an awesome experience at TL Autobody. They are a great group of folks, and Tommy in particular, who installed my hardtop, and was cool enough to let me assist, at my request. The hardtop included an at times fussy security lock assembly, which took extra diligence and adaptive measures. Coupled with it being a busy and unseasonably hot day, Tommy was nonetheless conscientious, professional, patient, and good-humored. Tommy and the others were attentive to each customer and kept a good pace on multiple projects. My hardtop fits well and is secure, and I am completely loving it! The guys keep a pleasant, open environment with a good attitude, clear communications, and diligent attention on the work. From the beginning they were super courteous and helpful. You get the sense that they're there because they want to be, take pride in their work, and that they're invested in doing a good job for their customers. Highly recommended! read more

DAMMMN. These guys are cool as hell. I had my car worked here 2 times now. The two guys here that helped me out are Steve and Tommy. These guys are awesome! I wouldn't go anywhere else. The last time I was there, they stayed until 8pm just because they told me they would get it done that day. Because one employee called in sick, so they decided to stay there until late just to finish my car on the time they said they would. It was not even necessary, but they insisted. Also, their prices are very reasonable. When they're busy, they try to make it work still instead of jacking up the price. I love these guys! read more

Steve is very friendly and accurately tells you the procedures and process that needed to be done for what you ask for! Though at times it they can get very busy, they managed to paint match my diffuser and repair + paint my front lip all within roughly two weeks. Steve is very friendly and a great guy to talk to about anything :) would like to thank Steve and the painter that got the paint match very spot on again ! read more

I have best experience ever at TL Autobody. My car got hit and run while I was sleeping, and the left mirror was broken. I went to TL Autobody and Steve - this store owner is an awesome, honest one whom I can totally trust and ask for help. He helped and showed me how to order my mirror on Ebay, and we got one. He didn't charge for any labor work, just the mirror by itself which he showed me how much he paid for, no other extra charges, which I'm very impressive. Even I tried to tip them, they refused to take it. Highly recommend it!! Thank you! read more

Amazing service.. the team here really strives for perfection.. i showed up with a damaged bumper and they recommended i replace it. I purchased a bumper and brought it in for paint.. they put a lot of time and effort into getting it perfect including respraying it after it not meeting their standards the first time around. The final product was honestly a closer match than my factory bumper which was darker than the body. They did an amazing job and really treat everyones car as if it were their own. Steve even took care of a small blemish on my driverside mirror for me no questions asked. This place is an absolute gem.. really chill, hardworking people to be around. read more

Unfortunately I have been a repeat customer. Which means I've been in more than one accident that required bodywork. Steve and his crew are great. Their work is really good, the car looks brand new after they are done, and they are very reasonable when it comes to costs. Every single time I've been, they've taken great care of me and my car. They also work late hours, which makes it easier if you don't have a car while it's in the shop. In my latest accident, they went above and beyond and helped me out on stuff that they really didn't have to help me with. Highly recommend them! read more

Let's start by saying that I have a modified IS300...and I am very particular about who touches & works on my car. One random day, I wasn't paying attention and made the terrible mistake of reversing my lowered IS300 too far into a parking space in a parking lot. Fortunately, while reversing into the parking spot, my rear bumper and rear lip cleared the giant concrete block that was at the end of the parking spot. Unfortunately, as I drove forward to leave, I heard a sickening crunch and crack! Snap, crackle, pop! My rear lip on my rear bumper had caught on the concrete block as I drove forward in my car! =( I got out and inspected the damage, and the right side of my rear bumper had completely ripped off of my right rear fender panel. Most of my rear bumper tabs were broken on the right side of my bumper! It was an especially sad day...until I met with Steve at TL Autobody! Steve took one look at my bumper damage (tabs broken, bumper sagging), and knew right away that the tabs had to be fixed. He quoted me a very reasonable price, and told me to bring it back to the shop the next day. I dropped off my car with Steve the next day, and he spent the day working on it. Being that most of my bumper tabs were broken, Steve found some super creative ways to fabricate new bumper tabs for me! Steve even used his creativity to create a metal bracket for one of the main bumper tabs that broke off! For those of you who own an IS300, you all know how difficult it is to get the IS300 rear bumper to align correctly with the body lines of the rear fender panels. Steve and his team went above and beyond and spent a LONG time on my rear bumper until all of the broken tabs were either repaired or re-fabricated so that my bumper would mount securely and align correctly back onto my car. Steve literally worked on my car until 9pm on a Monday night! That's some super customer service right there! Overall, my rear bumper's alignment looks like new again, straight from the factory floor! 10/10 - would stop by TL Autobody again! read more

Steve is awesome. He will have a conversation with you about exactly what you want done. They recently painted my FRS (2017+ front bumper) front bumper and I had them shave the oval for the emblem up front. The shaving came out perfect. You can't even tell it was there. The paint match to my E8H Ultramarine paint code was 100% accurate and you can't tell a difference, regardless of the lighting. Very pleasant experience and will be returning for my future paint/body work needs! read more

Man, hands down the best auto body shop I've had the pleasure of doing business with. I came here with my new C63 AMG to get the front bumper recon'd (drill holes delete and scraped lip). I'm paying the expense out of pocket, other shops quoted me for up to 3x the price Steve and Tommy came with. No BS straight to business honest and truly hard working people! They came in on Sunday, their day off to ensure I get the car back before the work week. They also told me to come back so they can buff and polish the car to ensure the paint settles correctly! Rest assured I'll be referring this place for years to come and to bring my other cars here as well. I trust them with my AMG and any high performing/luxury vehicles, their work is on point. Thanks Steve and Tommy, see ya again. read more

I have been here a couple of times and each time i am 100% satisfied. This place is built on quality work and customer service. Steve and Tommy are a pleasure to deal with and very honest. They will not try to give you false information and will do their best to give you the best quality work and save you money, even if it means they won't make any money. You can trust they won't give you a BS estimate or lie about any extra BS work that doesn't need to be done. I've had my front bumper destroyed by a electric gate on my 2015 WRX and took it here for the first time. They ordered me a new OEM bumper, paint matched to perfection (crystal white pearl is a difficult color to match), installed in only a few days. Also their estimate was significantly lower than the other estimates i got. They also give lifetime warranty on their paint work. I have referred several friends of mine here and they are all just as satisfied as i am. Whether you are looking for paint,bodywork or need your expensive JDM aero kit, GT wings, splitter, etc. installed properly, TL Autobody is the way to go. read more
