Marty’s Chop Shop

Marty’s Shop did a great job in repairing/​replacing parts for our Prius — front bumper & grille, fender, front suspension, pillars, rocker & floor, front and rear doors. And, all were done in one week time!
Excellent and very courteous customer service too!

Let me start this review by saying I haven’t had work done on my car yet but this is based solely on the price and the atmosphere upon coming into Marty’s. Marty and the woman at the front desk were super friendly and made me feel completely comfortable coming in. I know nothing about cars and I really appreciate walking into an auto body shop and not feeling completely clueless about work needing to be done and pricing. I had gone to a previous auto body shop and was quoted 6k to fix a dent and some scratches on my side door. I was expecting the worst when I asked for an estimate from Marty’s. Long story short, the total of fixing not only the side of my car but the small dent in my bumper was less than half the price than the other shop quoted me at. Thank you for making me feel comfortable and secure with my decision to have Marty’s repair my car. And thank you for working with me and my budget. Can’t wait to get my baby fixed!

Went here last week to drop off a mirror cap for my 2015 to get it painted. Read the great reviews and decided to give this shop a try since it was a small job. Met with the owner, Marty and his assistant (don’t remember her name). They both were very nice. Marty was upfront and honest on the information needed to get my mirror cap done right. The paint job was great and will be coming back here for my next paint job.

Marty’s is my absolute #1 recommendation for any body work! I heard about the shop from a friend who had his Charger worked on here after slamming a curb. The car looked GREAT, so I brought my Baja here after I got rear ended. My car looked PERFECT (I am a NUT about my car, so the fact that I couldn’t tell there was ever a problem is HUGE!). Marty took care of all of the insurance stuff, he was prompt, friendly, and informative. I just can’t say enough positive things about this place! Now, the reason I’m writing this review NOW and not 6 months ago when he did the work on my car is that I had a second car that needed some work. I STUPIDLY brought it to a shop that works with my employer. I had to send my car back to these other guys THREE times, and it STILL looks horrible. SUCH A MISTAKE!
I’m so sorry that I did not bring it to Marty and let him work his magic. I will never ever take a car to anyone but Marty! Everyone I know now knows Marty is the place to go, and now you do too! Stop looking around, stop thinking about it, and stop reading other reviews. Marty’s is the place you want to go– Call them now!

Just left the Chop Shop and I couldn’t be happier. This is my second time here and both experiences were the best so I thought I should write a review. I have an ’03 Honda Odyssey and first needed the sliding door fixed as I oh-​so-​gently backed out of a parking spot with a huge pole that I swear moved upon my exit :) Fast forward a couple years and my lovely angel that has reliably driven all my kids where they need to be for 12 years started peeling on the hood — in a major way :((Looked terrible. This is common with blue Hondas, esp. ones this old. Don’t think it should be, but it is. Not wanting her to look like yesterday’s garbage, I thought of Marty’s chop shop. I did call around, just to make sure, and they were, once again, the most reasonable, and the most professional. Getting just the hood painted was only $ 300. In one day, she looks like new. Made such a huge difference I can’t believe it. Anyone wondering where to trust your car and get a great value, you can stop looking.

Originally took my classic ’89 VW Vanagon to Marty for some body work, and he did a great repair for a fair price. Recently someone rear-​ended our 2015 Nissan Rogue resulting in some minor damage. Took it to Marty and he worked directly with the other driver so we could bypass insurance entirely. Our car looks like new again and he finished the job even faster than estimated. Marty will continue to be our go-​to guy for auto body work.

Great shop! I brought my ’05 Mazda 6 to Marty after driving into a trench. Amazingly my car was not totaled, but there was quite a bit of work that needed to be done. Besides the damage from the accident, my car wasn’t in the best shape as this is my first car and I’ve been a little hard on it over the last few years.
Fast forward to yesterday, we got the call that my car was ready. I was so excited! When we arrived I couldn’t believe it was my car. It was so shiny! So clean! Marty and his guys went way above and beyond for me– they even fixed a few little things that had nothing to do with my accident, like my sagging headliner, a few small dents– these are the things that make you want to come back. We definitely will. I feel very lucky to have found a shop that is willing to work with me like Marty and his guys.
PS. Usually I feel way over my head when it comes to cars, but when I went in to meet Marty he gave me the rundown in a way that made sense to me. didn’t make me feel ‘clueless’ like I usually do, and I very much appreciate that!

I drive from Redwood City to this shop in Campbell because they have great customer service and are true auto professionals and I trust them 100% with my Cadillac. Melissa is extremely helpful and always goes the extra mile for me. And Marty is a veteran in the business and really knows what he’s doing when it comes to antiques and new vehicles. Highly recommend making this shop your first choice for body and interior upholstery!

I just took my camaro to Marty to have stripes painted on the hood and trunk. I had searched the valley for someone to do this and by chance, Marty was referred to me. I’m so glad I found him! My review will not go into the paint and the look of the job (which was incredible by the way and gets lots of looks on the street) but it was more about the man.
Marty is a guy that LOVES cars and understands how attached owners are to them. He treated my car like a baby and made sure to lock it up every night. He actually called me in a few times to make sure the taping and lines were just right and were exactly what I wanted. He is a great human being and really takes pride in having the customer happy. His team is like a family (some of them are) and I can see that Marty instills the hardworking values into them all. Great bunch of folks. He is the only guy I will ever take my cars to as he really cares about doing things right.
So happy with this place!

I was referred to Marty’s Chop Shop by an insurance agent. My 2006 Scion xB was whacked in a parking lot resulting in about 1K worth of damage. Marty’s is family owned and operated and everyone there treats you like family. The work was flawless and completed as promised. I had some paint damage on my rear bumper which they fixed at no charge. I wish I could rate them higher than 5 stars! They will definitely be the only body shop I use in the future. If you want you car repaired right, by people that really care about the quality of their work, this is the place to go. You can tell everyone there is a car enthusiast and this is not just a «job» for them.

I brought my Infiniti G35 to Marty’s shop after a mobile paint repair guy did a very bad paint job on the rear ¾ panel of my car. Marty and his team did a FANTASTIC job fixing the previous paint job. Perfect color match! My car looks beautiful again. Great customer service, great paint job… all around great job. If I ever need paint work done again, I will only be taking my car to Marty’s shop. Thanks Marty!

This is a family own shop and it def shows, top notch customer service and their work it’s excellent!!! Love how my car came out looking like brand new: D
I would recommend them to anyone and I will keep coming back!

Marty and his team replaced and painted my right front fender on my ’95 Camry. Marty and his team do excellent work– this is a 10+ on a scale of 10. Just top notch work and professionalism. Marty quoted me a price that i «could not refuse»! I am extremely pleased. Highest of compliments. This is the place!

with all 5-​star ratings, marty’s chop shop was a no brainer when i smashed the side of my boyfriend’s subaru wrx 2011.
they fixed it up brand new and their customer service was awesome :)

I would like to praise at the quality in customer service Marty and his employees bring to their business.
Marty helped me fix my Jeep due to someone doing a hit and run. He made it painless and easy as he would update me on what was going on with my insurance and when everything was getting done. He also helped me fix a few other minor maintenance.
I would recommend this shop to anyone looking for fair prices, great quality, and great service.
Thank you!

I came to Marty’s one Friday afternoon after my rear bumper was damage in a minor accident. I had already received a quote from another nearby shop and went to Marty’s for a second opinion. The first shop said the entire rear bumper needed to be repainted. The guy’s at Marty’s confirmed this to be the case. But they also quoted me a price that was 35% lower than the first shop. Needless to say I decided to go with Marty’s.
As we discussed the bumper work I pointed out an unsightly ding just above the rear bumper on the rear left panel — it was not caused in the minor accident, and had been there for some time. In the end I decided not to have it repaired because the rear bumper repair was being paid for by the driver that hit my car, and I simply did not want to complicate the transaction — I’d get it sorted another time.
I dropped the car off on a Sunday afternoon (drop box service available) and then left town for a few days. My trip got extended and I could not pick the car up for a week. When I called to let them know, not a problem!
When I finally got back to pick up the car I was extremely happy with the work. And there was a surprise, that bad ding above the rear bumper had been repaired! In addition, the car had been washed and vacuumed. What more can I say, this shop knows how to treat their customers — Outstanding Quality & Service!!!

I took my car here after roughing it up a bit in a couple of spots. They did an amazing job. My car seriously looked brand new & as if nothing had ever happened. I mean, that is the point in getting these scratches and dings fixed, but the work was just so clean. I used to have my parents take my car to asian body shops and they were never able to match the color exactly, so you can totally tell there was work done. I got my car back with even the inside cleaner than when I dropped it off and they washed my car for me also. They also helped me with a squeaky belt by adding some lubricant to it. Definitely coming back (because I know I’ll be hitting something else in the near future) and recommending this place to all of my friends.

Recently I had someone hit my Mercedes in a parking lot and the driver didn’t leave a note. (Wishful thinking). It wasn’t much damage but something I just could not live with. I shopped around for pricing since I did not want to report it on my insurance and my deductible would probably cover all the cost anyway.
So after checking at quite a few shop and getting over the «sticker shock» of the cost to repair, I tried one last place, Marty’s. I called and spoke to Melissa and she was very nice. Told me to come down and get a quote. I heard they were very reasonable in price so I some some expectation of what I thought they might quote since I had about 5 other quotes all within about $ 200 of each other.
The place is somewhat tucked away but my GPS found it. They had a few nice hot rods in the parking lot and had a car in the paint booth. All of them looked f**king awesome. The paint jobs were AMAZING. I started to rethink the quote I would receive and also that my car was not a «hot rod», they might not be able to perform the job to my satisfaction.
I spoke to Marty (the owner) and he looked at the car. He ran some numbers and gave me the quote. To my astonishment, the quote was HALF of what I received from the other body shops I went to. I then thought that if it was this cheap, the work would be sub-​par and I wouldn’t be happy. But looking at the hot rods in front of the shop, I gave them a shot and left my car with them.
I received a call two days later and was told the car was ready. I was very nervous as I did not know what to expect. When I arrived, I saw my car. It looked great from afar but I inspected it, expecting to find a flaw somewhere. Low and behold, I did find a slight problem with the front driver side bumper and thought «I get what I paid for». It was nothing paint-​related. Just one piece of the bumper was sticking out slightly. It was hard to see but I know my car and noticed it. It would bug me every time I look at the car. Melissa asked if something was wrong. I pointed out the issue. She immediately called one of the shop guys out, asked him about it and fixed it on the spot. It just popped in place.
So, needless to say, I was extremely happy with the paint job. You could not tell any work has been done to the bumper. Paint matched up perfectly. The car looks just like it did when I first purchased it.
I HIGHLY recommend Marty’s Chop Shop to anyone looking for body work, restoration or painting. He does custom work. I asked him if he would paint my boat he said he would! That will be the next thing I bring to him.
Thanks Marty, Melissa and the rest of the crew at Marty’s Chop Shop!

these guys have been my body shop to go to for years, they always do a good job and they’re the best on prices in the whole bay area. they’re a little tucked away, but they’re always super nice and always willing to go the extra mile to make sure their customer is satisfied. I always see them working on the hottest hot rods, nascar type of cars and low riders, but they definitely do it all.
i’ve taken my cars to them at least a dozen times and each time they do a great job. i’ve even taken my car back after i scratched it myself and they took care of it for free.

Best place ever!!! Super helpful and excellent work!!! I’ve taken 2 different cars here n they did an amazing job!!!

So I got my car back from Marty’s after they installed my new bumper and chin spoiler and I wasn’t very happy. My car has stripes and the stripes seemed to be a little crooked. It looked like the were mathematically straight, but when you looked at the car from behind they didn’t look visually straight. I tried to live with it, but I’m one of those people that if I notice something wrong with something I will obsess about it until it drives me nuts.
I called and talked to Melissa and she tole me to bring it in. I brought it in and Marty took a look at it and noticed the funky stripes immediately. He said, «Oh yeah. Sorry about that, we’ll fix it right away.» He gave me a loaner car and I had my baby back the next day repainted and looking fine again.
Not only that, but they washed my car and I think they polished it too because I didn’t see the swirl marks on the hood that used to bug me. So I got my bumper replaced with a Shelby bumper for the price of the stock Mustang GT bumper, Marty installed my chin spoiler for free and I got a free car polish. If I ever need body work on my Mustang again I know I will definitely be taking it back to Marty.

I recently backed my black 2009 Dodge Challenger into a pole in the parking lot. Sad Day.
The Challenger has this ridiculously gorgeous black paint with metallic flecks in it. People kept telling me that matching the paint would be a difficult task, so I prepared for the worst.
A friend in mine, who knows about cars, and knew what my paint job looked like, recommended this place to me.
Nevertheless, since I was paying out of pocket, I did some shopping around with other places (including one of the highest rated ones here on Unilocal). At the end of the day, Marty’s Chop Shop was not only the best deal (by a longshot), but was also the best in terms of making me feel like they could do the job right. The owner, Marty Sr. (surprise), answered all my questions confidently and professionally – you can really tell he has a passion for his work.
Still they always say, «You get what you pay for» so I’ll admit I was a bit apprehensive.
Well all that apprehension went away the day I picked up the car. The paint looked beautiful, the metallic flecks match, and there is no way I can tell where the blending was done. All of this and he came in a mere $ 13.00 over his original quote.
I couldn’t be happier.
If you want a place that is all talent and no BS, take yourself to Marty’s.
