Sheila DavisJune 8, 2025 Awesome experience. If I could give more than 5 stars I certainly would. Very friendly and personable receptionist and Joe, the owner. Went in with paint transfer on front bumper. Joe took pictures and with a short amount of time, he cleaned off the paint. So grateful. Establishment was very clean and comfortable. I definitely recommend body builders for any work that needs to done on your automobile Thure RossJune 4, 2025 Everything went great from start to finish. The owner did a great job explaining the entire process before dropping off my car to begin. They helped navigate the insurance process throughout (other party was liable and repair was handled by their insurance). Rental car company was delayed on picking me up and they provided an Uber ride so I didn't have to wait longer. Constant communication during the entire process which was longer than we all anticipated due to other party's insurance being slow to respond. Thank you! Glenn RebechiniJune 3, 2025 I've used quite a few body shops and this by FAR was the best experience I have ever had. Communication was fantastic, the work look great and the entire team was friendly, polite and oh so helpful. My Rivian was hit, and they delt with the Insurance company from the guy who hit me, helped with the rental and got my truck done in time for my out of town trip. A big thank you to the entire crew! I would highly recommend Body Builders! K BellofJune 2, 2025 BBA is fantastic! They do excellent work and their communication is outstanding! Anna WysockaJune 1, 2025 Body builders automotive took care of my car after an accident. They had great text communication/updates so I could stay up to date on status of my car.

My car looks great and it was even cleaned before pick up CHRISTIAN BAUTISTAMay 29, 2025 I brought my Porsche to BBA after an accident. It wasn’t one of the places that State Farm has on their list. I was referred to them by the Porsche dealership. The staff was very pleasant and very professional. They are also Porsche certified. It gives me a peace of mind that they will do quality work. They constantly update you on the progress. I picked up the car yesterday. The work done was excellent. Definitely would recommend them.
