Canoga Auto Body

The cost was not worth it. When I inquired into the charges I got an angry response that, «if I charged you for the time actually spent we’d be out of business». Not a place I’d recommend or return to.

I feel fortunate to have found this business in my neighborhood after a large tree limb fell onto my Lexus, This place was on an approved list for my insurer, which always raises a red flag for me, but a neighbor told me she had a number of repairs done here in the past and was pleased with the work. She was right. They did a great job and frankly, I think the car looks like I just drove it off the showroom floor! They are great at communicating status and finished well before the estimated completion date. I highly recommend them, and I rarely post reviews.

1 week ago, I was involved in a minor accident involving an older driver on Woodman and Ventura. The other driver clipped me on my rear quarter panel /​rear passenger door. Thank G-​d I have AAA Insurance, went to CANOGA AUTO BODY as recommended through my insurance company as a Premier Shop to use. Guaranteed work as long as I own the car. Afterall, just the Interesting and very Cool Office setup Sold Me Instantly. Awesome pictures and Memorabilia is a soft spot 4 me. Not to mention the friendliest/​calmest Lil ol pup just chillin on the chair. Then came a quick conversation with Dave who inspected my vehicle. From what he had told me I felt confidant I had chosen the Right Spot. So happy I did. 1 week, that’s it, while they still had plenty of vehicles already being worked on, just 1 week and Wow, It looks Great! As if it never was in an accident at all. Such a Great Job! So Happy I Used this Place. After all said and done just want to say Thank You to Todd, Craig, Dave, and Micheal and Whoever it was that did the Magical work on my 2015 Nissan Altima. =)

My car was involved in hit and run. The damage was owing out of my pocket. I appreciated the honest assessment that I received. The job was either going to cost me over a $ 1000.00 or I could try a less invasive option that would be much cheaper. I just needed something done quickly so I opted for the less expensive option and the job turned out really good. I would return here for sure.

This place is alright, not terrific but not horrible. Had to get my car towed here as it was involved in an accident and this looked like the best body shop within AAA’s towing limit. The work they did on my Subaru was pretty good, but I had the optional sport grill originally and when they replaced it, they used the one from the STi (I have a WRX). So, now my WRX says STi on the front, and I kind of feel like a poseur driving around a WRX badged as the better car, but oh well. Otherwise the pricing was about average, and the service was OK. All in all just your normal neighborhood body shop I suppose.

I went to this body shop with my mom. She came to pick up her car. It had a minor crash last week and some paint on the front came off but now it is good again. Mom says this place has been here on canoga almost 30 years since she was in elementary school ! She trusts them ! WOW ! WOW !

This Place sucks! Todd is a joke, that could estimate a repair if his life depended on it. No customer service. Bad repairs. I would rather scrap car than let hem butcher it. They are hacks that do shorty work!!! They will now pay their employees to write enough reviews that this won’t be seen by the public.

Called this shop just to ask some few questions and the guy from the other line gladly answered some of my queries. I know straight answers is good but I felt like I wad belittled by the guy I spoke with, in the question I was asking like how much it would cost me? He answered oh you don’t want to know… we only use top quality paint only, much better for you if you go to (he mentioned another shop at van nuys) because it’s cheap over there. For sure I can afford the amount he told me but judging your potential customer as if they can’t afford that’s a big NO NO for me.

I took my vehicle in for pretty bad bumper damage, and they were so professional, efficient and courteous!!! My car looks brand new again!!! I HIGHLY recommend them! Thank you all for your work!

Great team. Quality repair. Besides the awesome job they did on repairing the car, they were all so friendly and cheerful. They keep you updated all the time with text messages about when your car will be ready. Plus, my son loved the old Indian in the waiting area. Lol. Not what you are thinking. It’s a motorcycle. Highly recommended. I don’t really know their pricing though as I was there on an insurance claim.

This auto body shop is TOP NOTCH. Like so many others have pointed out the staff is always accomadating, welcoming & helpful. Unlike other mechanic shops i have been to the overwhelming «shady» enviorment is just non existent at this location, the staff maintains a high proffesional demeanor which is evident from the outcome of their work. I came in after a nasty hit on my left fender & bumper, after speaking to Dave we went over the options and ended up leaving my car for an estimated 15 days. Well, after some text & phone updates, they managed to finish up in only 10 days. I cant praise this place enough, also keep a look out for Todd’s dog, you can find him lounging inside by the lobby. He’s the real star here.

Been going here for years. I feel I can trust Todd and Craig… and everyone else there. The repair work is always first-​rate.
Worth going there just to see Todd’s dog, who is usually occupying a couple of seats in the lobby.

Just so good, so home town. Don’t know if it was Craig or Todd, but he knew instantly what I wanted and had me in and out in 20 minutes. I had been to a much closer neighborhood shop and all he offered was an $ 800 estimate. Clearly, CAB didn’t do $ 800 of work for nothing, but they did exactly what I wanted and needed. Hat tip also to Hank’s Tires for their referral to this fine esablishment.

This place is amazing. They are helpful, informative, and fast. An excellent example of great customer service. Jodi helped me out over the phone several times while I was trying to figure out what my insurance wanted me to do. Every time I called she was patient, helpful, and realistic. I went in today to get a total loss evaluation done on my car, and I was told it would take 2 hours. Mike got the job done in 24 minutes! I could not be more satisfied with this place. Thank you so much to everyone at Canoga Auto Body for making this a pleasant, painless experience! You have my business for life.

Add me to the list of five star reviewers too. I am beyond impressed with this place. Mike was our go to guy and like others, I can’t remember his last name either! Anyhow, he was professional, funny and got the job done in the time period I needed it back by. When I got the car back, I gave it a quick once over… it looked good. Then when I finally saw it in the light of day… holy smokes! This 2007 Lexus looks BRAND NEW. They detailed the car completely, washed the carpet rugs (!), shined the tires and even painted other little nicks in the car that weren’t part of the accident. The car looks AMAZING! AAA certified (I can see why!). Everyone is friendly and helpful. The truly make the most of a bad situation.
I can’t recommend them highly enough!

We took our car in for some body work, and they really treated us well. Mike (there are two Mike’s there and for the life of me, I can’t remember his last name) constantly updated us regarding the status of our car. He even kept it an extra day because a part was slightly off, and he wanted to return it to us close to factory as possible. We will definitely return. Plus, they are AAA certified, which is always a plus!

I went there today to get an estimate for a scratch on my car. The service I received was AMAZING! Everyone was so nice and they were able to accommodate me immediately. I completely recommend Canoga Auto Body.

I had some damage in May of this year. My insurance company sent me here as an approved shop. Never had to use a body shop before.
Todd was great to work with as was Michael. They got the work done on time and to perfection. They ended up replacing not just my bumper (which took some guys trailer hitch in the teeth) but my hood and drivers airbag as well. Paint and fit of the parts was spot on. When I picked up the car it was cleaned and ready to go.
There were no surprises and they helped me through a process with which I was completely unfamiliar.
Thanks guys for a job well done

I would definitely go back to get my car repaired here again, but hopefully I won’t need to!
The process from beginning to end with Canoga Auto Body was smooth and easy. We were rear ended and our insurance was taking care of the whole thing. We dropped the car off, had a quick inspection, and we were off to Enterprise to pick up a rental. A day or two later I received a call from Canoga Auto Body telling me the total to repair and when it would be done.
The repairs were done on time and everything was back to new. The paint matched perfectly, the new bumper looked great, the new muffler system was installed and sounded right.
I never really wanted a «go to» Auto Body shop for obvious reasons, but I have one now and if you need a fix check them out.

Had someone not rear ended us (while stopped at a red light on Christmas Eve morning!!! 3 weeks after someone plowed into our other car, totaling it!!!), then we’d never know anything about Canoga Auto Body. As they are AAA certified and not too far from our house, we took our car there. (I can’t say anything about cost, as the other guy’s insurance was taking care of everything)
Everyone there is really nice, especially the ‘shop dog,’ who must be a thousand years old! He usually is sleeping in his little bed, but he might cruise on over to say hello and look at you for a spell. The woman behind the counter seemed frazzled every time we were there, but even in her stress, she was kind.
The work took longer than expected (more damage discovered when they started looking at it); I know nothing about cars, but it seemed a bit longer than it should’ve. But, I may just feel that way as I was stuck driving a crappy rental. When we picked up the car, it looked like new (it should, as it’s less than a year old!) and was freshly washed. At one point, Jim G. thought something wasn’t done properly and dropped by to ask them about it. They took their time to look at what he showed them and explained why everything was ok (they were right, too). No annoyance or anything at his questions or concerns.
While I hope I never need to go there again, if another Woodland Hills driver decides to hit my car, I know I have a place to go.
