By being a member of the Assured Performance Group, we have proven that Body Builders Automotive possesses the necessary equipment, tools and training to work on 2/3rd of all the automotive brand names in the marketplace today.

As an identified, certified and supported O.E. repairer, Body Builders Automotive has all of the OEM credentials needed to fix today’s sophisticated vehicles. This requires a major investment in tools and training, and any other incremental performance criteria that have to be achieved before a body shop can proudly say “We’re certified!”
Before you ever sign on the dotted line with any collision repair specialist, ask about their factory certifications, as well as whether or not that they’re an I-CAR Gold body shop. To perform collision repair services in today’s world, certifications are no longer an option, so do your due diligence before trusting your vehicle with any auto body shop.
Andre BDecember 21, 2024 After using their service a four years ago, they were my first choice to complete the body work. Once again, they did an amazing job with my truck and my wife's car. They no longer have a Geico rep on the property, but they still manage most of the insurance process with minimal intervention on the party of the policy holder. I received texts throughout the whole process updating me about the status of my vehicles. After the work was completed, and before they released the vehicle to me, they provided a very thorough explanation of all the work they had done. 100% transparency. Also, there was some additional work that I wanted addressed which I would have to pay out of pocket. Joe offered a much more economical option that satisfied my aesthetic, and my wallet. I would recommend them and use them again in the future. Corey HermansonDecember 21, 2024 Super kind people. Got the project done within 24 hours after calling. For a small job it was amazing and quick customer service. Richie V.December 12, 2024 I highly recommend Body Builders Automotive. Joe and his team were great to work with. Everyone at the shop, to include Joe and Day are knowledgeable, professional, and courteous with every interaction. They went above and beyond to resolve issues that came up with my insurance company. They have great communication and kept me updated throughout the process. Thanks again for everything.

Highly recommend there services Baiaman IsrailovDecember 2, 2024 👍👍👍 Erika WingeNovember 28, 2024 Top notch service! I was referred by my dealership to have Body Builders do the repairs to my Acura RDX and I could not have been more appreciative for that. I was constantly given updates and their work was impeccable! My vehicle was involved in a rear end crash and by the time I got my car back from the body shop, it looked better than when I bought it. Highly recommend their service. It was also cool to see what vintage or hot rods they were working on… kind of reminded me of “Pimp My Ride”. Margaret KNovember 11, 2024 I had a great experience with Joe, the owner, regarding exterior paint maintenance. He took the time to walk me through the entire process, explaining each step in detail and giving me clear guidance on how to keep my paint looking fresh and durable. Joe’s explanations were easy to understand, even for someone without a lot of maintenance experience, and he was incredibly patient with my questions. His expertise and willingness to share his knowledge left me feeling confident and prepared. Highly recommend Joe if you're looking for a knowledgeable and attentive professional!
