I had an unfortunate situation where I was involved in an automobile collision over the Thanksgiving Holiday. Being from out of the area I had no idea where to bring my car. Some local people at the scene who were helping direct traffic recommended I use Monte's so I asked the tow truck driver to bring it there.
I am so happy that I got this recommendation. The guys at Monte's were so helpful. Especially since I have never been in an accident where my car was not drivable. They guided me in every possible way and helped me understand what to expect in the whole claims process.

I just had my Ram pickup repaired at Monte's. As usual the work they did was outstanding, on time, and on budget. Antonio was very easy to work with, he even pointed out another problem after I dropped it off which they fixed. I have had several opportunities to use their service and there is no where else I go for my auto body repair needs.

Always polite and friendly people. Even let me bring my dog in because of the heat. From my impression everyone there was a dog person. One guy even came over and loved on my dog. My dog loved it.🙂

These guys were great! The repairs to my car were well done and they were extremely accommodating and easy to work with. They drove me back and forth to get a rental car and stayed open late so that I could pick the car up.

I highly recommend Monte's. They are true professionals and what is most important is you can trust them. That is so hard to find these days. They will make an assessment and give you options if there are any. They are up front about everything and will keep in communication with you. I hope I never have to see them again but if I do I will not hesitate to go back. Don't look any further - these are the guys you want working on your car.

Beautiful restoration of the front end of my truck. Dale, the office staff, the men in the shop are professional, understanding, friendly people. And as an added perk, the truck was clean and full of gas as I drove away.

As a higher end professional auto detailer I understand that there are people who seek the best. Montes is the ONLY body shop that I recommend to those who want OEM quality repairs, paint match and finish. If you want the best, most trustworthy and professional, here it is.

Stop reading yelp and take your car here. The service is top notch and Raz is the BEST.

I took my car in (it was pretty messed up) and they made it look like nothing happened, all while trying to minimize costs for me since I was paying out of pocket.

HANDS DOWN, MONTE'S IS THE BEST AUTO BODY PLACE

I have AAA insurance and after a minor fender bender, AAA recommended a body shop in Santa Barbara. I drove all the way down there and they said they'd get back to me with an estimate in 48 hours. A week went by, two and then finally three weeks and nothing from the body shop! I figured it was time to choose my own body shop and Monte's came highly recommended.

I mostly worked with Dale but all the guys at Monte's were wonderful! So friendly and on top of things. They had the estimate to my insurance the same day and got approval immediately - which was especially impressive considering

Very sad service, I called today to bring my Harley in to them to fix a 3 inch scratch on the paint and the person refused to deal with it. Sad very poor customer service, and as a business owner I'm shocked I was treated this way.

Impressive service and professionalism! I live in Santa Maria and work at Vandenberg AFB. When the belly of my vehicle was recently damaged on Vandenberg AFB by a defective steel ballard cover that was bent and stuck open by the vehicle in front of me, I was determined to send my car to Monte's because of the raving reviews from my Lompoc friends. The competition didn't have a great reputation regarding customer service -- and I wanted both excellent body work AND customer service. Well, my car has been in the shop for a week now and I'm to pick it up tomorrow. I have to say, the

Absolutely amazing service on my car which was backed into. Needed a lot done on the front including things such as a new hood, grill, headlight, paint, ect. In the end the front of the car looked basically newer than before. You would never know anything ever happened to it. Extremely friendly people and overall smooth experience. Very thankful.

Long story short, my friend and I were in Solvang on our way for some wine tasting when we got rear-ended by another car. My friends car's bumper was torn off along with a bunch if other damage.

Anyways, the tow truck driver dropped us off at Montes. Everyone is super nice there. They helped my friend call her insurance and get everything situated. They explained everything to her about what was going to happen to her car and everything.

Though I can't comment on the work they do, if they do half as good a job as they do taking care if their customers then I five them 5 stars.
