Coelho’s Body Repair & Auto Collision Shop

Nelson and his team is very knowledgeable, honest, and professional. My Honda Odyssey had a pretty severe front end damage. After the repair, you cannot tell it was involved in an accident before. Their workmanship and paint job is perfect. He also has a lot of experience handling the insurance claim and he really fights for your best interest. He is a very nice person and we had very good communication from begin to end. He finished the job on time and I can tell he has a heart to do good work. We are very glad that we chose the family-​run Coelho instead of some big chain company because you know you are talking to the person who actually puts his hands on your car. If you want your car repair done right and good communication, Ceolho is the one!

Not that Coelho’s needs another 5-​star review, but I got to thank Coelho’s for the fantastic job Nelson and his team did on my car! My driver’s side got side-​swiped from back to front and I immediately took my car to Coelho’s for an estimate. Nelson is super knowledgeable and you can tell he has been in the business for quite some time. I was told the car would take about 3 weeks… I got it back in 1 ½ weeks! Talk about a pleasant surprise. The quality of workmanship speaks for itself. These guys are professionals! Check them out!

I just got the keys to my car and I couldn’t be happier with the quality of work from Nelson and his crew. My car was really beat up but now it is in mint condition! Like new (even better than before) Nelson was very patient with my insurance company although they gave him a hard time, he made it work for all parties at the end and got my car back to me a week sooner than he had promised. He really looked out for my best interest and is a true professional. Don’t waste your time looking for a great repair shop this is the place to go!

Nelson is great. A friend of mine recommend him and I sure wasn’t disappointed. Outstanding customer service and his work is immaculate.

Thank you for all your help and customer service. (:
I’ve had hella bad luck with my car this year and they always come in clutch. The paint job is always superb and they’re so nice.

My car had been rear ended and although the damage didn’t look very extensive, just an opening between one side of the bumper and the quarter panel where they were pushed out of alignment, I was afraid that the whole bumper might have to be replaced, and who knows what else. I brought it in to Coelho’s and the owner took one look at it and just pushed on the bumper and it snapped right back into place! Problem solved, no charge, and Merry Christmas!
I’m very grateful and almost sorry that he didn’t make any money on the job. If he’d been unscrupulous he could’ve soaked the insurance company for quite a lot of money. But instead he was honest and courteous and fixed it in 10 seconds. A great guy, and a great place to take your car. I would definitely recommend it to anyone.

Lesson learned!
After doing research for a good body shop on Unilocal I came across this place. I was rear ended and needed repairs to the front and rear bumpers. Pretty straightforward from what I could see. Once my vehicle arrived at Coelho’s I couldn’t forsee it being there for 3 months!!! I was told by Nelson Jr. he had staffing issues. Hmmm ok???
I stopped by one day to drop something off and I noticed one of my center caps was missing from my wheels and I told Nelson Jr. I dropped those wheels off WITH the center caps and he flat out told me he didn’t «see» any caps on them when I dropped them off… so like 1 mins goes by and his son looked into the vehicle they had and «found» my caps!!!
I had 4 brand new wheels and tires put on my vehicle. He told me he had the wheels balanced when he had the tires put on which was a lie! My back window worked fine when I dropped it off but now it’s not opening. I told them about it and never heard back.
All I have to say is all that glitters isn’t gold!!! Meaning good reviews mean nothing when you receive horrible service!

Dealing with Nelson and the entire staff has been a great breath of fresh air.
They all work with integrity and some of the best customer care that I gave had the pleasure of dealing with.
I arraigned for my elderly fathers car to be repaired after a minor accident. Nelson and his staff went, «Above & Beyond» to assist my father. I live in the South Bay of Los Angeles and all arraignments were done over the phone.
With that distance the staff treated my father like he was part of their family.
Thank you again Nelson you are a stand up man.

Excellent work and outstanding service! I couldn’t thank Nelson enough for the service he provided. Not only does my car look almost new, he also helped me cut cost! Definitely recommending him to all my friends.
If you want quality work and exceptional service, take your business to Coelho’s!

Got rear ended and stumbled upon Coelho’s on Google. Best thing that could’ve happened to me after such an unfortunate event.
Incredible service, honest and hardworking people.
They took better care of me than my own insurance company.
Can’t thank them enough.

Nelson and family are fantastic. I had job to do that insurance would not cover and a short time window to get it done. They not only had reasonable prices but fat turnaround. The end sight was fantastic. Car looked new. Awesome place. Highly recommend if you want personal, friendly and high quality service at reasonable prices.

I found coelho’s body repair shop through Unilocal.Nelson did a very fabulous job for my car. He is very cool. They painted nicely. They helped customers very genuinely.

I found Coelho’s Body Repair Shop via Unilocal.Despite all the nice reviews/​five stars, I was still skeptical. I have seen businesses with good reviews in the past only to end up getting burned at the end. I continued with the research but somehow i kept coming back to this page. Finally, I took a deep breath, did a quick prayer and drove to the shop :-)
Nelson was a really easy going guy. He took a look at the car and provided a written estimate. He was polite, professional … didn’t hassle etc. I felt very comfortable and knew I would want to work with him. He did a great job with the repairs, you can’t tell the car had any damages at all. He kept me updated during the process and would always answer whatever questions I had. Also, he has a good relationship with the car rental folks. They knew where to pick me up initially, I only gave them the name of the shop and they showed up within minutes.
I highly recommend him, you will be pleasantly surprised.

Wish I could give COELHO’S BODY SHOP more stars. Family owned, small business. We have taken cars in for minor and major work. Nelson, has gone above and beyond.
They matched the paint, no one would ever known it was in a accident.
The staff is very professional, received my vehicle when they said I would. Nelson looks at the small detail and took care of other scratches.
We did our homework and checked out other shops. Nelson made the process easy. estimate was easy to read, no hidden cost.
I would highly recommend COELHO’S BODY SHOP to everyone who is looking for a honest, reputable shop. We will not take our vehicle anywhere else.
Thank you for taking such great care of our cars.

I cannot say enough about Nelson and his team at Coelho’s. They did terrific work and went above and beyond with my 2005 BMW M3:
— Easy to schedule and easy quote process
— Nelson helped me work through my insurance company
— My car was finished on-​time as promised and looked terrific!
— Nelson even had a friend take out a small dent for free!
— The entire experience was easy and hassle-​free
— Nelson is just an honest, stand-​up guy
There was another small, but very thoughtful surprise when I finished, but I will save the surprise for you. It does not get any better than Coelho’s. Nelson, thank you again.

These are the people you want working on your car. They are on your side and not the insurance companies cronies like some repair shops are. They perform excellent work in a timely manner. I was very happy and I would go back to them again in a heart beat.

Amazing shop!
Brought my blue BMW 335 here after a minor fender bender and it was returned to me good as new. I appreciate a shop that takes the time and effort to make sure things are perfect before they send it back to you. Will definitely be coming back for any things I need (hopefully not my car).
Ask for Nelson, he’s the owner here and the work he and his crew put in is nothing short of amazing, you won’t be disappointed!

Superb service!
I went there based on other Unilocal ratings and also because they were on my route. I thought I had bumper damage. He took a look at it and said that the bumper was fine and it was the mud guard that was twisted. He removed it, straightened it out and put it back. He did not even charge for this. I never want to visit an auto body repair shop :-) but would wholeheartedly recommend Nelson and the blokes at Coelho’s!

I wanted to write this review because I found the owner to be genuinely helpful to his customers.
My car had some paint peeling issues and I came to this shop just to get a quote. During that process, the owner pointed out additional defects I didn’t notice and told me he has seen many similar issues and that I should go speak with the Honda dealership to try and offset the cost for repaint with Honda due to workmanship. This led to the finding that my car’s paint was under extended warranty due to a material defect.
My experience here was great and I would come back if any issues do come up down the line.

Nelson and his team has done a great job on my car (it is a new car about 2 weeks old) which had a dent on the passenger door. He understand your problem and suggests you many different options not just giving a blind quote on the work.
I was really surprised to see the outcome of their work. The dent was not identifiable at all and the repaint was as good as the paint my car had from factory.
There was no deviation in his quote or the time lines. He delivered my car exactly on the day he promised.
What a fantastic job, keep up the good work guys!
I highly recommend his auto body shop, deserves 5 STARS.
