SCC Customs and Collision

If auto body shops had a tv show like «botched», this place would be on it. Got the M5 bumper «deal» these guys posted on Craigslist. Biggest mistake ever. The bumpers leave huge gaps between the rest of the body, they are flimsy and warped, the top of them is wavy and does not sit flush with the trunk/​hood etc. They did not use primer, just sprayed them with color and no clear coat or one very thin layer. The color does not match the rest of the car, it’s slightly off. When I called the owner Jesse back and told him I wasn’t pleased with the quality of the bumpers nor the quality of the paint job, he became extremely hostile with me, yelling and using foul language. He refused to refund me, even when I offered to leave the bumpers with him. Now i am stuck with the most ridiculous looking bumpers that make my car look terrible and bring down its value. Thanks for being stand up guys and having quality parts and craftsmanship SCC!

Had an mtech front and rear bumper installed today on my E90 and it looked awesome!!! Color and fit was spot on… they know bmw’s. Jessie and his crew was super friendly, totally approachable, and the whole process was super easy. I’m a very particular guy and especially when it comes to my car, so these people that had issues must have been Pebble Beach Concourse d’Elegance judges because I’m extremely pleased with the work they did. Will definitely return.

Posting for a friend who had his car taken there but is not a Unilocaler.

2 months ago, I went to Jesse to have an E39 M5 bumper installed on my 528. I was treated well on the phone and in person, but the shop gave me some bad vibes that I should have listened to but chose to ignore because of the prices and how pleasant Jesse was at first MISTAKE1.
I should have listed to my vibes. The bumper wasn’t installed well and now the paint is peeling in 4 different areas. At first I thought that it was my fault that I bumped into something but then I took it to a high end body shop in San Mateo that does ferraris and basically they said he didn’t put enough compound or whatever in the paint and that the paint was too thin to begin with. So basically crap quality. MISTAKE 2
I called and asked to have it resprayed, he refused telling me his paint is «as-​is» and that the other shop didn’t know what they were talking about. That’s when i saw a different side of the shop. I won’t go into it here but needless to say, I won’t recommend anyone take advantage of this. Pay more, get better work and no run around. I wish I’d gone somewhere else and listened to my vibes. MISTAKE3
So basically got promised something that wasn’t true, was given something lower than expected quality, and was told to go away when asking for help.
–pissed off!

end review.

Brought my bmw to get painted from black to white and it came out amazing! Got my tail lights smoked and got a kit. This shop also worked around my schedule which was a huge convenience. Look forward to doing more business.

I came across this shop on Craigslist, while I was searching for a s2000 bumper for sale. So I saw they had a special going on for getting a bumper painted for $ 150!
Initially I thought it was a bit skeptical due to the price, but after looking at their pictures and reading the reviews I thought I’d give it a shot!
So I called them and spoke to Jessie. I asked if I had to make an appointment to come by and he said nope come on in. So that same day as I’m driving through the road looking for this place looking like a lost tourist in America. I see a man (Jessie) waving me from a distance to show me where I needed to go.
Immediately after arriving the guys were all cool and welcoming.
So to get to the point I need to have more than just my bumper painted. I needed to have these fender extension pieces cut off and bumper quick release kits removed with some filling of a 1″ hole it has left behind. I got quoted a very very reasonable price and said let’s do it! So I dropped it off on Monday and Jessie said it will be done by Wednesday, I told him no rush just take the time you need and don’t rush it. He then said okay we’ll aim for Friday. Also not to mention he didn’t want me to drive all the way back home without a bumper cover and get harassed by cops, so he gave me a loaner s2000 bumper to use for the time being. After reading some of his reviews, i read a few people said he wasn’t on time with his delivery dates and it’s hard to get a hold of him and etc… so naturally as a new customer I thought to myself «great what did I get myself into?» Wrong! He called me this morning and said it’s ready come by whenever your free.
Excited and not knowing what to expect, i arrived and saw this clean silver s2000 bumper on the stand and I was stoked to see it was mine!
Bottom line and to end this review, if you want more than a bang for your buck go see Jessie at SCC autobody. You got to be a fool to expect dealership type of work for what he charges. Most people are frugal and always looking for a deal and if that’s you, then this is the place for you! I have no affiliations with this shop, this is my first time here and definitely won’t be the last.

I just want to say Jesse’s shop did a great job on painting and installing my e92 M-​Tech Bumper. Looks awesome on my car. The previous shop did a terrible job on the lip of my car. This new bumper did the job and my car looks way better.
I was hesitant at first because of the bad Unilocal review. I’m not sure why the other Unilocal review was bad. I saw the pic the bad review posted and I don’t see anything wrong with it. Also customer service was great! Jesse was super cool the entire time and was accommodating. I got my painted bumper really fast– 3 days!!! Install was a breeze. Again, he was super chill and seemed very down to earth and professional. He said if my paint flaked off (which it shouldn’t), he’d fix it. Definitely gave me a peace of mind which I appreciated– I don’t think I would need it but it’s good to know. He also provided me advice with what to do with my old bumper. Overall, great place and great product! I will definitely come back for other pieces to complete the upgrade to my car. If you are hesitant about the bad review, DON’T be. I’m pretty picky, but Jesse and his crew do great work here. Definitely 5 Stars for service and work – thumbs up– highly recommended!

Body work on your beloved car is rarely fun. I would like to say that Jesse made the work that needed to be done as pain free as could be imagined. Good communication via text and email and work was completed as promised. The bumper fit needed was challenging, bit he and his staff saw it through. Good work, good price, good business.

Price is a good value and job was done on time and exactly as promised. I replaced my bumper on a BMW 3 series and it came out looking great. Jesse worked with me because I live over 3 hours away. The job was completed in less than an hour. The whole experience was super.

I have searched and searched for a reliable place to get a new bumper and SCC treated me well. They worked to my schedule told me exactly the cost and got it done fast. The bumper itself looks excellent and he even help install new fog lights to save me some trouble. Overall, great experience! Recommended for you BMW needs.

Just got my M5 bumper on my car from SCC Automotive today.
WELL its ON the car. It doesnt fit that well. The paint is marginal. I give it a «C-​» They will blame the part if it doesnt fit right. There is Run in the paint. The fog light holes look like they were lightly sprayed. It took 3 months after I paid them to FINALLY get it installed. You will have to chase him down and NAIL him down to an install time and dont be surprised if the bumper looks like crap the first time.
In my case the paint didnt match (this is after he took the paint code) he said «ohh it must have been a paint code for the jambs. I was like WTF. Im not an idiot. I have been around the car world longer than he has been alive. You have to keep calling and messaging him to get a response. when he says «i let you know» dont fall for it. Call again, and again, and again.
The next appt. for install. the dimples on the side of the bumper werent filled. He said its normal and he installs them like that all day. Well not on my car. He said he would fix it. The dimples were repaired and he blended the paint to the existing color from the previous spray. WELL now the blend doesnt look good. The paint feels rough im sure it the overspray from the «blend» Im sure it good enough for him and SCC automotive quality control.
I was at the end of my rope. I was tired of driving to Concord mutiple times for what I feel was substandard work. I was just done with the shop. I would have paid more for a better quality job.
I went there a few times thinkin i was going to get it installed only to find substandard work. Im sure the owner is tired of dealing with me and quite frankly im tired of dealin with him and the excuses on why the my bumper isnt properly done.
I am tired of askin him to repair something that should have been done properly the first time. I wasnt going to wait anymore … I wasnt going to argue. IF the owner thought that the part was ready to install and it passed HIS inspection. I was good enough. «F» IT… just put it on my car: let me get on with my life and ill have it redone somewhere else…
Yes… MY FAULT. I should have leaned away from that black friday special that they advertised on Craigslist.
IF your car is a daily driver and your lookin to save a buck go for it. IF you want it to look better than a C– with less flaws. Pick another shop.
They took my freshly painted bumper rested it on the concrete and started putting the fog lights and center grill on. MIND You the bottom of the bumper was getting all scratched up. Who cares right I mean its the bottom. F that… I DO!
After he reads this im SURE he will know who I am. I am NEVER bringing my car over to SCC automotive again and I will NEVER recommend his services. Please excuse the typos… im still livid.
Please do not contact me about how you can fix this problem. I do nott want to hear it. I waited 3 months for something nice, i even stated take your time as it wasnt about the time as long as the finish product was good. That“s all that mattered…
So dont feed me any BS on why the paint isnt right or why under the bumper isnt painted because you cant see it or why you cant get a trim piece on… You cant get the trim piece on without removing the headlights first THEN installing the bumper. I KNOW THIS because I was the one who install my last M5 bumper.
Good luck with your future services. I wish you well.

Bought a replacement (repro) bumper for my ’00 5-​series. As I was leaving my house (an hour away), Jesse called me and told me that he wasn’t happy with the color match on the bumper he sprayed and wanted to fix it. I was happy with his pro-​activeness and desire to do the job right. He was then very accommodating as to making new appointments and went above the call of duty in working around my schedule. Finally, I brought him my car with the bumper removed, and he did extra work in reinstalling the new bumper, without accepting any additional payment beyond the flat fee we had originally agreed on. I’m very happy with the installation and the paint match — it isn’t factory perfect, but it cost about ¹⁄₅^th of what a factory replacement would have cost. Would definitely go to SCC again. Thanks!

I got my 2003 Audi A4 painted on a leap of faith. Saw Jesse’s ad on craigslist and figured it’s a good deal so I went and talked to Jesse and sold me just with his demeanor. Since it was already a good price I didn’t even try to haggle for a better price but he gave me a discount anyways. As any car owner will agree that with any services being done with our vehicles, we will have our doubts the whole time they are working on it but I couldn’t be anymore happier when I got my car back. The paint is awesome!!! the car has never look good since coming out of the factory. Would I use SCC again? Hell yes!!!

I’ve gone to SCC a few times for some auto body repair on my 06 Tacoma. Not only is the staff great, but they do awesome work with an amazing turn around time! I got my truck back within a week both times I had brought it in. The body work and paint to match looked perfect, like the hit and run never even happened. The owner Jesse was quick to reply with any concerns or questions I had. I would definitely recommend this shop to anyone in the area. Even if you’re not from the area it would definitely be worth the drive!

This place is great the guys who work here are very nice and very helpful and definitely know their stuff. I took my gts wing here to get it painted, it was amazingly priced and the staff was awesome about when I could come pick it up and get it installed. I went to get it installed the guy who installed it was a really feiendly guy and made sure to ask me where I wanted it positioned and everything, it took less then 30 minutes and I was on my way. A great place to get any work done on your car I would absolutely recommended this place to anyone.

I’ll try to keep this short and simple. Not a fan.
Yes, the prices are unbeatable, but trust me when I say that you get what you pay for! Jessie, the owner was very flexible and reasonable in the beginning of this whole process. He offered a ride home, allowed us to pick the car up at a closer location, gave us a good deal, etc. However, we ended up bringing the cars back for noticeable flaws. I was not trying to take advantage of the price, several people had come to me saying the paint was a bit off. My coworkers said they saw noticeable swirl marks and my roommate said it looked like they just buffed certain areas (when I paid for a FULL paint job).
The paint behind (or in the cracks) of my mirrors looked burnt. There are bubbles near the emblems of my car. The headlights were peeling. They didn’t primer the bumper. Etc. In addition, they LOST my original car key without offering any sort of compensation to me. I am now using my spare when I just bought my car a few months prior.
Honestly, the work is «ok». Its nothing amazing and it seems like the workers take a lot of short cuts. I had a few people to refer to this place but after refusing to fix the flaws and turning away business, I definitely will have them go elsewhere.
You live and you learn!

Just bought my bumper for my 528i. Absolutely satisfied with the work and service. Jesse offered me a price that cannot be beaten by the competition. Great work and service! He has earned my loyalty.

There is a reason that SCC only gets 5 star reviews-​YOU LITERALLY WILL NOT FIND A BETTER PLACE TO TAKE YOUR CAR.
I found it on craigslist while looking for a new bumper for my 2001 530 BMW. I replied to the craigslist ad and got a response right away quoting me $ 290 for the a new bumper+paint and installation. I live in Palo Alto, so when I realized it was over an hour away in Concord, I thought forget it I’m sure I can find somewhere closer for a similar deal. I called three different auto shops in the area and each insisted on seeing the car first and estimating at least $ 1,500. Concord suddenly didn’t seem very far at all.
I scheduled a quick 20 appointment for Jesse to writeup the invoice and check out the bumper (which was totally bashed in after being rear-​ended on the freeway, although everything under and around it was fine.) He was super friendly, polite, and even wiped off some of what I had thought were permanent scratches. He answered all our questions and proved that he’s clearly an expert with cars, especially BMWs. I scheduled an appointment for the actual repair and when I came back to drop it off, he offered us his own personal BMW to use until my car was done. (he also has a lounge with TV and Netflix and stuff to watch while you wait) The whole thing only took 2 hours and it looked absolutely flawless afterwards. The color match was 100% spot on, I still can’t believe what a great job he and his employees did! (they also specialize in paint jobs– we’re talking matching a car to a bottle of nail polish, and detailed graphics, not just solids, words and flames)
Overall, Jesse is the sweetest guy and all of the employees there are extremely kind and helpful. His prices are so reasonable you will be surprised how little he’ll charge you for a quality repair. I seriously can’t say enough good things about Jesse and his staff, it would be worth the drive even if I lived in LA, If for no other reason, come here to see his awesome collection of special hot wheels models!

My boyfriend took his evo in and the car came out amazing! Jesse, really cool guy and owner of the shop, painted the car and wheels exactly as we had envisioned. He was very accommodating and even had us come in to look at a ton of swatches so we could find the perfect color. He even gave my boyfriend a ride all the way to Sunnyvale when he dropped off his car to be worked on. This shop does excellent work and definitely surpassed my standards! I would trust them with any paint job.

Jesse, the owner of the shop is a great person to deal with. Did a paint job for me and even waited a couple times after hours, and also help me with the install. Really nice guy and quality of work is great. Will be going there again to get other parts painted.

My cousin sent me a message with an SCC ad. I thought it was about time to get my car painted so I shot an email to the address on the add. Jessie, the shop owner got back to me pretty fast and said he would call me the next day, Saturday. So the next day Jessie called but I was at work. I called him back and he was really cool over the phone. We were planning on getting my car estimated the that monday. But Jessie worked with me and we met at a local gas station. He went over my car and gave me a price on the spot which was really good. That monday i brought my car in and he started work on my car. That friday I got my car back and I though it was the dopest shit for what i paid.
Jessie is a cool cat and is willing to work with your budget. He presents options in terms of color and cost effectiveness. I highly recommend SCC. Jessie and his boys at the shop work fast and accurately. Hit him up. You wont regret it!!!
