Karen at Phil's Auto Body worked relentlessly with Enterprise Insurance to get our refund on the needed auto repairs for our car. Phil's did an excellent job repairing and replacing the front bumper. We are extremely pleased with their work and would not hesitate to recommend them for any needed auto body repairs.

Stopped into Phil's today with a leaky roof, they took a look and pointed out that one of my drains was clogged with gunk and showed me how to clean it out. I'm not the best with cars, so the fact that they didn't take the opportunity to hit me with a fee and just showed me how to fix it was really great! Good to meet honest folks! Thanks!

I am so thankful for everyone here. I came in today with my bumper partially ripped off on my VW, and the staff was quick to fit me in for service. It took a much shorter time than anticipated to fix and I'm so grateful for that. Thank you for all your hard work!!

It is rare when people care about customer service on a personal level like they do at Phil's. I was very satisfied with the outcome of my car after I was rear-ended. Phil even gave my car a bath--imagine that! My car looked new.

Phil is the best. I shopped San Jose and Santa Cruz as my Porsche is my baby. When Phil wS finished it wS perfect. He even opened after the shop was closed to get my car as traffic prevented me from making my deadline. Friendly, personable, professional and reasonable. A true value.

Phil did a fantastic job repairing my 1993 Mercedes 300SL from a minor fender bender. Very honest, thorough, and a great price after getting 3 quotes. Would absolutely recommend him! Thanks Phil!

There is nothing better than going to a pro who knows their trade.

I believe in this business.

Some "destructus anonymous" had damaged the rear bumper on my RL in a local parking lot. A good friend recommended Phil's Auto Body. Quite impressed by a totally spotless work area, I asked Phil not only to fix the bumper damage, but a few other small scrapes and dents along with it. My biggest concern was matching the rare off-white pearl color.
The job that Phil did exceeds anything that I've ever seen done by a body shop in my almost 50 years of owning a car. The contour restoration was meticulous and the color matching perfect, no matter in what light and from what angle

Phil's Auto Body shop is excellent in every way! Phil gave me quote that was very reasonable and then stuck to it! He also gave me options to lower the cost, but I chose to pay a more to have a bumper painted and it looks like new! Phil and his team are honest, skilled, and great to work with! I have already given friends and family Phil's phone number!!!

This is a remarkable shop run by a man who is a model of honesty.... a rare discovery these days in the auto repair business. Phil Chadd repainted several deep scratches and a small dent on the rear bumper of my Benz E350. He held to his estimate of only $250 for the work, which turned out to be flawless!
Now for the honest part: for the same work Scott's Auto Body had asked $1,223!!! Thanks to Phil not only for my dodging a bullet, but also for his contribution in restoring consumer confidence in the integrity of an industry too often populated with shysters.

I give Phil's Auto Body 5 stars for the work they did on my Honda Odyssey front bumper. They did a fantastic job in repairing an obvious corner dent and made it look brand new.

Phil's prices are fair compared to other local businesses. They do great work! I would recommend them.
