My mother in law's car got re-ended and we took it to Island Fender to be fixed. The staff was extremely helpful. They kept me informed on the progress of the car and if they found any other issues that needed to be addressed. I highly recommend this auto shop. We are extremely happy with their professionalism and quality of work.

The dealership for my car recommended this shop because they "specialize in VW repairs." This place is a joke. I only needed my door replaced and worked with it through insurance. Instead of sending all the repair payment requests at once, they send it in spurts to prolong the storage of my car.
My car was drive-able, but they needed it to stay at the shop for repairs while they wait for parts to come in? Who sends 5 plus payment requests and blames the insurance that they only receive partial payments? My insurance sent me the requests and they paid it out exactly as requested.

I am beyond pleased with the service provided! Several months ago, I got into a (my first) small accident and had the front of my car grill pushed in. Having no knowledge in cars or even insurance, I really procrastinated on getting my car fixed and was even more hesitant because I know a lot of body shops tend to rip customers off. THANK GOODNESS FOR ISLAND FENDER! After setting up an appointment, I brought my car in and they immediately evaluated the condition of the repair. Thankfully, it was as simple as popping the grill back out and Thomas did this out of courtesy! He even noticed my car

Took our vehicle to Island Fender.
Challenging to schedule a time to bring it in for repairs, were unable to give an approximate time frame for parts arrival. When parts did arrive, we were expected to bring it in the very next day or wait weeks for another appointment.
When we did pick it up, the door on our van would not stay open (kept sliding closed and almost hit my kids), plus the door was clearly not aligned correctly.
Multiple trips back and forth to have them try and rectify the door alignment problem. Multiple times being told the vehicle was "ready" when the issue had

I have never been so satisfied with a car shop. Usually something always comes up such as delays, lack of customer service, or extra fees. Last June, I put my car in a different car shop, I experienced extremely bad customer service and my car coming back with more problems than it had before made me so upset.
Island Fender finished earlier than expected and always updated me on the status of my vehicle via phone call/text. Everything a customer wants was provided.
This was furthest place from my house but it was worth it. They replaced my bumper, updated my safety sticker to one full year, and

If I had a time machine, I would have avoided this place like a plague, but the name, "Island Fender" sounded so...relaxing. My vehicle, a 2012 Toyota Prius was involved in a fender-bender. The accident was pretty severe as the total amount paid by USAA was almost $8000. I would think they handle fender-benders all the time and my car would be a piece of cake, but with my luck--nope. After two months, my bumper started to misaligned. I brought it in and they did not take responsibility for their workmanship. They blamed it on the initial worker, broken washer, the economy, what

Called these guys for a quote. They were dismissive and said not to fix my car. Maybe the job was too small for them but they were not interested. I asked if I could come in for a quote and they said it would be $250. Just for the quote. They also said they couldn't get to the car for several weeks.
I was totally turned off by their attitude. I would stay away from this shop.

Island Fender was fast and efficient. I got into an accident and had a scratch on my door. Island fender repaired and repainted the scratch and you could never tell it was ever there! On top of that, they took the time to vacuum my car which was an unexpected, nice touch!
If you're looking to get your car repaired, go to Island Fender.
Thank you so much for the excellent work you've done on my car, Island Fender! Appreciate it.

We were referred to Island Fender to repair damages (bumper) to our Honda Pilot.
In our phone conversations, estimates, drop offs, pick ups, etc. everyone we interacted with was courteous and professional. Communication was also clear and efficient. Every step was explained thoroughly and we were updated regularly on the progress of our repair.
The office/waiting area was very nice - actually looked more like a doctor or dentist office instead of an auto shop/garage: air conditioned; clean; organized; chocolates in a dish; even a little fountain on the counter. Definitely was not expecting

I'm fussy about my RX-350 and was bummed when it was hit twice in the past three months. The service from Island Fender has been as wonderful as their work. From reception to technician - everyone is pleasant and great. They have a text message system that kept me aware of how the work was progressing and the receptionists followed up with personal calls at the end of each day. This is a 5-star shop!

One weekend, a friend hit my brand-new minivan in our garage. It still had the paper plates. The very next day, my new plates came in, and a young girl hit it while it was parked on the side of the street. I contacted several body shops for estimates, and Island Fender was the only one to return my call. I'm so glad they did.
Thomas was helpful throughout the whole process. He tested out the damage from both incidents to get a feel for what type of work might need to be done. He explained the process that Island Fender uses to fix these things, and I was incredibly confident in their work
