Active Auto Body
We are OEM Certified, which means your car will be repaired and returned as safe as the day it was built. Body shops have an option when fixing your car, they can do it the way the manufacturer recommends by utilizing factory parts, or they can cut corners, and use knockoff imitation aftermarket or junkyard parts.

We believe that the original equipment manufacturer always knows best and we follow their guidelines for every single vehicle we repair. Our technicians are trained at the OEM training facilities within the USA for every manufacturer program we are affiliated with. We have On-site Hertz rental car services to make the entire collision repair process as seamless and convenient as possible.
Services
Active Auto Body is a family-owned and operated business since 2002. Our staff includes outstanding technicians with I-CAR training and certification, many with over 20 years experience in the industry.

The owner Shawn has made it his goal to provide the best quality workmanship and customer service in this industry, and it has paid off! Starting in a much smaller shop, Shawn's continuous attention to detail and customer service has helped him to expand his business, requiring him to move to a larger shop in just five years in order to accommodate his growing list of clients and referrals.
Your life is at stake with an inferior repair. Consumers involved in a collision are often surprised to learn that there is no required licensing to repair a vehicle. Likewise, they are also surprised to find out that many insurance companies often influence how a shop repairs a vehicle simply by refusing to pay for new OEM replacement parts and procedures.
To perform collision repair in the state of California a body shop is required to have a license to do business, but there is no requirement to have training on how to properly repair a vehicle. I-CAR is the predominant source for training in the collision industry. Many shops will get I-CAR trained, but only the best shops will go the extra mile and get I-CAR Gold trained.
When you bring your vehicle to Boyd Autobody & Glass, the repair will be completed by our qualified, experienced technicians and backed by our lifetime guarantee. Our computerized paint systems offer superior colour-matching capabilities to restore your vehicle's cosmetic appearance, and our paint booths use cutting-edge ventilation systems to ensure a flawless finish.
The frame of your car or truck, also referred to as the unibody, is what holds much of the weight of the vehicle. The engine, transmission and other mechanical components, as well as body pieces and the interior, are all supported by the frame. The unibody is essentially the sturdy shell of your Car.

Absolutely hands down one of the best (if not the best) auto body shop around. I was greeted right from the start and was told to wait for an advisor. I told them what the issue was, and they were able to let me know what would be fixed and how long it was going to take. They provided updates accordingly and when I went to pick up the vehicle, they went over what was replaced and if there was any issues, I should let them know. I couldn't have been happier. If anyone is looking for an auto body shop, do not hesitate to go to Active Auto body

Javier and his team are excellent! My car had a flat tire when I pick up my car. Javier did a quick repair at no cost. They are the best auto body shop in the bay area. I would definitely recommend all my friends and family.

I cannot say enough good things about these guys. Over the course of many years I have come to Active Auto Body many times. Each time I got better service than the last. Extremely professional, prompt, honest, & courteous I highly recommend them for all types of body work.
In the most recent major accident, the work done was fantastic! I am so happy the insurance had them in their network!

So far I'm pleased with Active Auto. They look like they'll do a good job with the small repair on my new truck. The appointment procedure was smooth, the check in was efficient, and I'm looking forward to see the results

Excellent customer service! From the receptionist to Eduardo who serviced my vehicle. The receptionist was friendly, efficient and really tried to help me get a quote. I was sending her pictures so I could get an idea if they could help me.. I ended up driving there with my vehicle and Eduardo was able to attach my rear bumper for me in no time. Thank you!

I received excellent customer service from Eduardo on the repair that needed to be done on my car. He was prompt, courteous and worked with my situation in an efficient and understanding manner. The car looked new and much better than before the fender bender, both from the outside and inside. They obviously take pride in their workmanship. I appreciate the teamwork at Active Body.

Someone side swiped my son’s car resulting in broken passenger side mirror and scratches on the door. I called and spoke to Javier, He was very professional and accommodating. Great service at a very reasonable price. I feel both Javier and Eduardo went over and beyond.I was originally introduced to Active auto by a friend named OC about 15 years ago when they were in Mountain View. I used them a couple of times more when they moved to Santa Clara. Always very professional.

Every interaction was wonderful. I had my car taken here after my catalytic converter was stolen because it was one of the preferred shops of my insurance company.I dealt with Lupe and Javier and both were so nice. Great service! I highly recommend!

Wow! Customer service above and beyond! The cable that raises and lowers my driver side window snapped after 8 years so the window was stuck in the down position. Javier and his team were super responsive. I called on a Monday morning to get the part and it was installed Wednesday morning for a reasonable price.

But wait, there's more - I hadn't washed my car in several months and my car had dirt, wildfire ash and dog slobber covering the exterior - it was so gross. My car came back washed and lightly detailed raising a big smile on my face.

Highly recommended! Knowledgeable folks

As a young woman with little car expertise, I was stressed and worried about going into a major car repair. However, I lucked out with finding this shop. I was absolutely impressed with the amazing costumer service, professionalism and kindness I experienced with the company. My experience was completely stress free and they took care of everything. They answered all my questions and honestly went above and beyond.
I had extensive work done on my car and they did an incredible job. My car looks spotless. I would highly recommend to anyone that needs work done on their car!

A special thanks to Javier and Active for cleaning off graffiti on my truck and my father in laws car. Both cars were sprayed with paint, and I took both cars to active for removal. Both cars were cleaned of paint (and washed), excellent work and friendly service. I will definitely use Active for any future work and recommend to my friends.

Awesome place. My new car had some really minor scratches and distortion due to parking in small slots. The owner fixed them as it did not happened, only took 5min. They are also straightforwardly told me how to fix small scratches myself, and how large scratches on paint should have a full repaint and gave me quotes that are reasonable. Nice people and frank communication.

A big THANK YOU to Javier and his wonderful team for the excellent work that they did for my SUV. The estimate and description of work was accurate and clear. The quoted price and customer service were excellent. They completed the work on-time. I'll be coming back here for any future body work or accessory/part installs.

Amazing shop. I worked with Javier - awesome person and one of the best at what he does whom I have ever met.

I came to Active Auto Body for a pre-purchase inspection on a used car and Javier did an amazingly thoroughly job of telling me every single body, alignment, and cosmetic issue that was on the car. He found a ton of things I never noticed (e.g. looks like the car was broken into before, panels were repainted, doesn't look like the car was in an accident though because the frame is straight.) Javier's expertise gave me peace of mind on my purchase decision.

I can tell that

I went to Active Auto Body to get an estimate for a front bumper repair/replacement. Javier gave me an estimate and offered to pop the dent out for no charge. My car is pretty new; I haven't had it for a year yet. The dent wasn't even my fault. A big truck carrying a bobcat had a piece of wood on the bed that flew off while merging onto the freeway and hit me. Javier popped out the dent and it only took him about 15mins. I'm extremely satisfied with what he did! It looks so much better and when I'm ready to replace it I'm going back to Javier at Active Auto Body! Thank

This is the place recommended by my insurance company.
The catalyti converter got stolen from my 2008 Prius. I was super upset, but not the time to deal with my emotion at this moment. Nowadays, it is really hard to find a trustworthy auto body shop with acceptable price.
After go through all reviews, and talked with Javier. I decided to bring my car there.

They are very patience to address my concern and provide updated status proactively.

Before I pick up my car, Christine provided my details on works been done on my car, and price breakdown.

I am very surprise that my car was vacuumed and

They were AMAZING. Worked very well with all my needs. Christine had the BEST customer service I've ever seen. She took so much time making sure I was satisfied with my experience there. She answered all my questions and took care of everything I needed. I would only choose to go to them again here in Santa Clara county. I realized my hitch was also gone after they fixed my vehicle, whether it was the person who tried stealing my truck or the tow company who towed it away while I waited for a boy shop to open, I called her because even if she couldn't take care of it I new she would be

This is how an auto body shop should be! Clean and professional.

Our catalytic converter was stolen and our insurance gave us a few choices. I reached out to each one and also did a little research on reviews.

Christine Pizarro called back and explained perfectly and told me they could get it done in a day. She sounded very reliable and I was done with my search. I went ahead and scheduled a time.

A tow came to pick up my car right on time and my car was ready in a few hours.

Upon arrival, I was greeted with a big smile from Christine +1. They had an artwork of a dog sticking his head

Although very nice, it seems like a "typical" insurance, production shop and not oriented to do the kind of restoration work that I am looking for. The person who looked at my car seemed to be somewhat manipulative in his assessment of what needed to be done, and how well they can color match. This did not instill enough confidence in me, to let them work on my car.

Please keep in mind, that I did not have any work done here. I just was not comfortable with the sales experience. I took the car to another shop that I felt was very honest and straightforward with me, and everything turned

My car was involved in a hit and run and I found these guys on yelp, good reviews so why not. When I first arrived Christine greeted me in a kind loving manner, I then talked to Jorge who was super kind and accommodating to help me fix my problem, Javier helped me get a quote and got my car all fixed up dealing with my insurance agent State Farm. Never have I been so pleased with the service these guys give. I believe they go above and beyond with kindness and honestly and will come here from now on for all my body work needs. Thank you to the whole crew for getting my car back to be within 1 week

Oh man.. just finishing up this review from 2-3 years ago! All I recall was that I was really impressed by the quality of customer service and car service that this team provided. They were professional, informative and extremely resourceful. I recall them being extremely friendly and forth coming with additional information that helped me understand the situation of my car.

I had to get my bumper replaced and went in for a maintenance after checking out their reviews on yelp. They worked directly with the insurance company during the process of the replacement and took care of some other internal

Can't recommend Active Body Shop enough. From start to finish a great experience.
Pedro was helpful, he kept me informed all the way (email, phone), he felt with the insurance company pain and got the car back asap.
The repairs look perfect, and come with lifetime warranty. The rates and labor charged were reasonable.
The staff in the front is also very nice.
