Uni-Body Collision Repair Center

Awesome place! Mario fixed my Mazda3 bumper — that was falling off — like new in about 30m for $ 50. The last place quoted 1 wk and $ 1200. You can eat at the soulful cathead’s bbq next door while you wait. Great operation. Highly recommend. SS

If I could rate 0 stars I would. It appears from the reviews (notice that the latest review is from 2012!) that they know how to paint toy cars. Unfortunately, if you want an actual car painted they really have no idea what they are doing. Several panels of my car had been keyed and a friend recommended them for the body work. I noticed right away that the work was very bad — so bad that I could still see the original marks underneath the new paint. Seriously?! They told me they would fix it and instead of fixing the paint they held on to my car for 3 days and tried to get more money out of the insurance company without actually doing any more work. Then I learn after the fact that they broke a light and the gps antenna and instead of replacing, they glued them back together! Instead of offering to pay for their mistake, they blame me for the damage and insist that I’m somehow trying to extort them. DO NOT HAVE ANY WORK DONE AT THIS SHOP UNLESS YOU WANT VERY POOR WORKMANSHIP!

Unibody owners and workers are great. My rear-​ended car got fixed as promised and the guys went above and beyond making sure everything was taken care of properly.

Word of advice. DO NOT GET YOUR CAR FIXED HERE!!!
I had a hit & run and came to them to get it fixed. This is a father & son business btw, thats who you deal with when u get to the shop. They seem very nice at first. When I talked to the father, he told me that my car would be taken care of and to leave it in the shop. I expressed to him very clearly that I didn’t call the insurance assesor yet, and he said that he will deal w/​the assesor himself, and that again I should just leave the car there to be fixed. About 3 days later he calls me to inform me that I have to call the insurance comapany myself, so I did. The damage on my car must have been no more then $ 500 dollars worth for work and parts. My friend who is someone who understands cars in and out, and fixes them regularly himself informed me of, that the parts cost about $ 200 at most if ordered new. But they assessed the damage at over $ 2,000 K! My insurance assesor said this was ridiculous he had given them around $ 1,500 K and said that was way over what it cost to fix, basically he told me they were just trying to cheat me out of as much money as possible. When I expressed to the father of the body shop that I wanted my car back he told me and I quote, «I will not give you your car back, until I see a $ 300 dollar check on my desk», I was like «Ha? for what?» He informed me that I owe them a ‘Storage Fee’ of $ 100 per day, for 3 days my car was in the shop! Storage fees that he never mentioned to me before I expressed a wish to get my car out of there! Nevermind that I had to take time off work several times to come there, and they wasted my time, and all the time I spen dealing with my insurance, they also wanted me to pay them for purposely dragging out time and misleading me into bogus fees!!! But it gets better even yet! When I finally got my car out of there, by begging my amused insurance assesor to pay them the $ 300 dollars of bogus storage fees, I had another autobody shop look at my car, the mechanic called me back about 2 hours later in shock, he said the bumper where the damage was done from hit and run, which I again say is just a small bent and a crack on the rear side, he said all the bolts that held the bumper together were missing, only a couple left, somebody had removed them on purpose, he said if he didn’t look at the car and I continued to drive like that, the bumper would have fallen off w/​in a matter of days! I am not sure of this, but I highly suspect who is responsible for taking out all those bolts! I can only imagine what horrible scenerious could have happened if my bumper fell off while I was driving!!! I again say THINK LONG and HARD before you go to people who will not only try to cheat you out of your money, but also do something like what I just described above!!!

Five stars is not enough. I’m not just saying this because my dad is friends with the owner. I’ve dealt with several body shops before and this was the best experience I have ever had.
This particular incident involved a cabbie side swiping my BMW. I brought it to Uni-​Body with the entire driver’s side of my car banged up. The turn around time was 2 weeks! I have never had a car go into the body shop and come out in less than a month for anything! Not only that, but it was perfect! No overspray, no mismatched paint, it was perfect!
These guys are amazing! My insurance wanted me to go to some german place and I would probably have waited a month and a half for substandard work. Uni-​Body is the BEST!!!

if you walk into Unibody Collision Repair, take a look around and notice the kinds of cars they work on here. There’s usually a few Mercedes-​Benzs, high-​end Japanese brands, and a BMW or two in the shop. It’s no coincidence that the owners of those nice rides trust Unibody to make their cars look like new again.
I’ve been taking my cars to Unibody for more than 10 years. The work they do to is excellent, and I’ve had them do everything from accident repair to custom paint work on my vehicles. Leo is a pleasure to deal with, the prices are reasonable, and the work is performed promptly.
BONUS: They’ve got a sense of humor, too. A few years ago I asked Leo to paint several Tonka dump trucks for me – in hot pink — to give to friends as baby gifts. They came out GREAT! (Wanna see? I added some photos of the pink Tonkas to this Unilocal page.)

STOP AND READ THIS!
I found the best body shop in S. F!
I am an avid car enthusiast and work in the automotive industry. Believe me when I say that finding a good body shop is HARD!
I got Hit and Run twice in two weeks…
On a recommendation from a friend I ended up at Uni-​Body Shop. I left my baby and came back a few days later…
The work they do is absolutely fantastic. The attention to detail is very very good. I was amazed. It was painless and quick.
After seeing the work they performed on my car, they have a customer for life.
I have a few cars that are very rare. I will only take them there now.

They did a great job on my car. Took ALLOT less time than I would have thought. Owners name is Steve. I recommend them to all of my friends.
