Cal-Green Auto Body

*****GO SEE ARMAND AT CALGREEN*****
Took my 2011 Toyota Prius, and being Silver metallic in color they did an AMAZING job in painting the entire front end of my car. The paint matched perfectly and the clear coat was as smooth as a baby’s bottom! Armand is awesome, he takes the time and listens to his customers needs and concerns. Calgreen is very reasonable (quality work at budget pricing) they even cleaned and polished my headlights at no charge! Guys, I can’t stress this enough, go see Armand and you’ll understand exactly what I am talking about!

I was hit from behind stopped at a red light. So much so that the trunk suddenly disappeared. Mike and co, fixed my car up and it looks brand new. The paint job is top notch.
Hate getting into accidents. But glad Cal green is around to help me out, when they do happen.

Arman delivered as promised. Their work is quality. He met his goal to turn in the car as expected.
I’ve had issues with dealers before saying the car would be ready by such date and they failed to meet the date. With Cal-​Green this didnt happend. Turned in the car on monday and ready on friday.
I would definitely go back to them again.

These guys are thieves. I took my new car to this body shop after accident. It was recommended by a lawyer. They kept my car for over a month. Unfortunately, after I picked up my car I noticed new scratches on my car and some problems related to transmission. My car does not drive like before and I cannot prove that these guys had to do something with that. They stole new parts and never changed them with the broken ones. Those parts as much as my eyes could see were one of my from lights and the license plate. They charged my insurance company for new parts but never replaced the broken parts with the new ones. All in all it was a very bad experiment. God knows what other parts they have stolen from my new car and replaced them with the old ones. Avoid this body shop. I’ m very disappointed.

They were very helpful and kind. Helped me in every way possible. I’m very pleased. And good prices. Thanks!

I had a lot of damage on my car, and when I went to go get quotes, Cal-​green did the best job of catching every little thing. They were a little more expensive on average in their quoting, but I felt like this attention to detail and care would translate to their work on the car. I was wrong.
When I got the car back, it looked amazing, I admit, but that’s pretty easy to do when you’re just replacing parts. The problem is, they broke a bunch of unbroken parts in the process, didn’t call me about them, and then tried to rectify the situation without replacing the broken parts. For instance, an entire headlight assembly was broken because they didn’t know how to get it out. I can understand if you haven’t worked on this type of car before, but if they had just investigated and popped the hood, they would have found the lever (that Mountain View Tires dude found in two seconds) and it would have been free. This is totally unacceptable and it’s a 399 dollar mistake. How smart do you have to be to investigate something before you start applying massive brute force? So what did they do without my permission? Stick it back in with silicon. AWESOME! –_​– They did this with another light in the back that I paid them to repair, and they never asked me if I wanted it repaired the right way.
As soon as I got it back, my radio wasn’t working, my console went out, I basically had sudden electrical problems as if someone shorted it out past the breakers. My gas cap wouldn’t open (motorized). Oh, they lost tabs for the floor flap in the trunk that covers my spare and all my tools. What did they do? Drill giant screws through my carpeting into the plastic. Sure, I don’t need to know about that either, cause I’ll never have a flat right? The frame work was sub-​par. They were never able to get things right with that. They messed up the door locks and at least replaced one when I told them… but kept trying to adjust the other one and the gas hatch, which never worked. When I took it to the dealership they said it needed to be replaced. 3 years later and I’m still «waiting on parts.» I have to admit that one time they did actually get them in, but my number had changed. I have gone back over 12 times to allow them to try and fix it. Under CA law, they have to fix it… but the thing is, at this point, I’m not sure I want them to. I haven’t been anywhere where I am so afraid to take my car back in.
I don’t know what to say anymore. Nice people, but their workers are incompetent on German cars and they have shady business practices. There’s no way to tell whether these things were authorized or not by the manager, but they happened, and they happened on a 10,000 dollar repair.
On top of that, they gave me a loaner but never offered me insurance. They have to legally insure it, but when I came back with an unfortunate scrape on the bumper, they handed me a 1000+ bill. Really?
Do not use them. They break more than they fix and they don’t even tell you about it. I’m still afraid of what’s wrong with my car. What else could they have done that I just haven’t seen? I wish I could give them negative stars.

I have never re-​edited a review on Unilocal (nor have i used it for services other than food) but this required special attention. After sometime of with going back and forth with my insurance company Cal Green has made good on getting me an OEM bumper for my 2005 XB. once delivered and painted it should only take half a day to install it. It took me making phone calls and sending photos back and forth to 2 different people at my insurance co. but end result is i should have a new bumper. Plus one star and an updated edited nicer review.
