I just picked up my Challenger from this place. I had a hit and run a few weeks ago and they hit my rear bumper. Im speechless with the customer service of Gabriela and Alex. Wonderful communication, keeping us in touch with the process of the car during the week. And the car turned out great! I totally recommend this place hundred percent! I had a bad experience a few years ago with caliber collision and I am glad we found this place!

Called like a dozen places, literally, looking for a body shop to put my recently purchased pre-owned vehicle on a lift to give me a frame & body inspection since there was suspicion of structural / frame and other damage. Luckily I finally called California Auto Body & Frame and spoke with Alex Torres who I felt was straight forward, accommodating and very professional on the phone. He was able to schedule me within a few days & I just picked my car up from them a few hours ago. He did exactly what he said he was going to do, provided a ride for me home when I dropped my car off

Everyone at this location was super nice and friendly. My husband was in an accident that required body work and was deployed when the work needed to be done. Everyone I had contact with was super helpful and explained everything I needed to do. They also provided me a ride home the day I dropped off the car which was so helpful. Glad to have gotten such a good experience out of a tough situation!

Gabriela is incredible! Other than being an extremely nice and likable person, she is just very professional, personable, trustworthy, and good at her job. I hit somebody’s couch in the middle of the freeway going 70 + mph Sunday night totally ruining my front bumper on my 2021 Honda Insight. On Monday, I took the car to 3 different body shops before coming here. One of them was trying to overcharge me, the other told me it would take 3 days before I could even get an estimate, and the girl at Service Kings acted like I was annoying her by asking for an estimate. She took pictures of the car

These guys were great. They check out my old car, which needed new body mounts, and gave me an estimate and appointment day for the work. When I had scheduling conflicts the got me in early and did a great job. I will be recommending them to my friends.

There are many reasons why one would want to bring auto body business to the crew behind this establishment. They are family owned and operated with more than three decades of building a strong reputation in their field of expertise. They have the capacity to service needs of franchised, new car retailer operations as well as used car outlets while not missing any of the details when it comes to taking care of us regular, walk-in customers. Of course it helps to arrange a visit by appointment.

Had a collision with my Toyota Camry. Gabriella took care of everything kept me informed of everything, contacting the issurance of the other party and everything else. And Gabriel was really professional, I owe him one. Wish I could gave more 5 stars. My experience with them was more than 5 stars. Just give a try you won't be disappointed with their services. And FYI everybody always wear their mask in the office.

Usually I do not write many reviews but after being satisfied with the services from California Auto Body shop for the second time now. This company has impressed me 2/2 times, not to mention the awesome staff that I have grown to appreciate (Gabriel, Gaby, Alex, Victoria, and the rest of the staff).
This location offers great services and goes above and beyond to make sure customers like myself walk away satisfied. I truly recommend this location to those reading this review and if any of my close friendships or family ever ask for a suggested body shop Cali Body Shop will be at the top of my

I brought my suv here after a hit and run. My insurance was giving me the roundabout at another shop and I had been going back and forth with them since early July and it's late October now . I dropped my car off on Monday with low hopes honestly because my insurance is just a pain. Well Gabriela called me and said the claim was accepted and they where good to go. I was so surprised she kept calling my insurance company and sending them everything they needed to make sure the claim was accepted she honestly helped us out a lot. Thank you so much Gabriela. We also worked with Gabriel he

Unfortunately I was involved in an accident, after being accident free for years. I was dealing with the at fault driver's insurance. They referred me to California Auto Body, which was probably the BEST suggestion they gave me.
Alex (T.) at California Auto Body and Frame set up a tow truck to pick up my car the next day. They quickly accessed the damage and sent me the invoice within a couple of days. Alex communicated with me every step of the way from start to finish through email, and text. My car was ready in a couple of weeks, and I couldn't be happier with the work. Alex, and

Excellent Service. I took My Tacoma truck to repair the bed on my truck because one bolt was stripped and the bed rattle a lot. Gabriel Hernandez work with me on the price and gave me a good deal. Once they remove the bed, all the bolts were in terrible condition not just the one, but they fix all the other bolts for no additional price. I'm very satisfied with the repair.

Amazing experience with this business! Sheri (sp?) was professional and knew what she was talking about. My truck had a lot of sun damage to the clear coat on the hood and roof from where the previous owner left it outside for years. I took it to California Auto Body and Frame and as soon as I parked, Gordo came outside and chatted me up. He explained the process of how it would need to be fixed without seeming pushy or annoying. In fact he was fun to talk to, always laughing but has true experience in his field. Gabriella at the front desk is nice and easy to work with. Second only to their outstanding

Super friendly staff! Repairs took less than a week. My insurance recommended a few shops but I chose this one since it's fairly close to me. Any questions I had regarding the repairs, cost and next steps- they were able to answer! Really appreciative for their quality of work, as my car looks like new, and for their customer service.

Took my car there for a door repair. Had an unfortunate miscommunication with the person doing the pre-inspection that caused me to comeback and take care of the situation. Not sure if it was a miscommunication in my part or he was just saying yes to everything I was saying. Staff was friendly and Gabriel took care of what needed to be done. Car was left dirty inside where they worked at. Did not even wiped the number that they wrote on the windshield...I think it was the date I went there. Other than that, overall I'm somewhat satisfied with my experience...

Not only did these guys do great work. Not only did they communicate clearly and often about delays caused by Jeep in getting them parts. Not only did they quickly get the work done.
But California Auto Body and Frame were wonderful in helping me get through a terrible insurance claim and they were awesome dealing with my insurance broker.
I'm very grateful that CABF was able to get me back on the road and did a great job. Super nice people. Very smart.

Gabriel and his team went above and beyond to repair the damage Maccos did to my 2015 Mustang. Friends can't believe my car is 2 years old because it looks like new! Superb job! I was treated with sincerity and like family. The team takes pride in there work and I've heard nothing but good things about them. Like mentioned by previous yelpers they may delay but it's because there priority is customer satisfaction vs getting the job over with and collect the doe.

They have the greatest customer service I've ever encountered in my life. I needed some body work and a quality paint job. My car came out flawless. Their attention to detail not only proved their competence to me but also assured my trust in them for years to come. I couldn't recommend them higher and promise any reader of this review you won't be disappointed in any way. The quality of their work and how they treat their customers is outstanding.

This place is amazing! They took care of everything for me, even dealt with the other parties insurance so I didn't have to worry about anything. They explained exactly what they were going to do and what to expect. They even drove me to pick up my rental car. I just picked my jeep up today, it was finished exactly when they said it would be, and it looked AWESOME! My jeep looks better than when I bought it (and it's 100% cleaner than when I left it.) everyone there is so welcoming and helpful and they did the best possible job. Thank you!! I'm so happy with the great job you did
