General Auto Body & Repair

A true example of customer service. Mr. Shin is in the business of people — He is out to provide the best service possible.
If you want excellent body work done without feeling ripped off, give them a call!

Mr. Henry is the BEST. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. He saw me right away, and provided me an estimate within about 5 minutes while I waited. The price was comparable to other shops. Mr. Henry and his team completed the work ahead of schedule, and with impeccable craftsmanship. He even showed my son how to finish the trim — and when kids trust them, you know they’re trustworthy. Very nice man. Cleaned car interior as a courtesy. Extra mile counts big time.

Our son’s a student at UMD, we live out of state. His car got sideswiped in a parking lot in Feb 2013, hit and run, so we needed the driver’s side doors and rear quarter panel repaired using insurance. Based on Unilocal reviews, we chose Henry Shin’s General Auto Body.
Our son came home for a visit shortly after the repair was complete, the repair and paint job was excellent, couldn’t ask for better.
A month or so later as my son was getting ready to go on a spring break trip with some friends, the passenger side window wouldn’t go up. This was one of those situations that kids like to get a little frazzled over, they were down the road and just had filled up. He called for suggestion on where to go, I said, drive over to Henry’s. It’s real close to 5 pm, but Henry remembered my son and the car, fixed it in about 15 minutes (the window came off a track), wouldn’t take any payment for it. Wow.
This kind of service deserves recognition, and I’m sorry that I took so long to post my review. Take your car to Henry, you’ll be glad you did. Thanks for everything, Henry!

I had multiple things done here and will give a short description of each. Overall, I couldn’t’ ask for more!
On my 2003 Acura RSX:
Front collision with deer — Had to replace the hood, bumper, both headlights, and front/​passenger windows. This was done perfectly and I couldn’t tell that there was any damage before!
Front lip and rear spoiler — Had this painted and installed. It was a difficult fit because the pieces weren’t OEM but Henry made it fit as if it were OEM!
Coilover suspension install — Full coilover system installed and calibrated perfectly.
This car also got broken in to several times while at school, and Henry fixed it each time like new.
On my 2009 Audi A5:
Custom subwoofer — Henry made a custom enclosure for my subwoofer and installed for a great deal.
Headlight ballast — Ordered and installed headlight ballast at a fraction over cost of parts.
I highly recommend this place!

I live in College Park and always wondered what the bright yellow building on Rt. 1 housed. After a collision in December, I found out — the most helpful auto body shop in town! Henry Shin, the owner, reviewed the estimate for my totaled car and gave me a fair price. Then, he went over and above what he needed to do – repairing some minor damage not related to the accident and installing a front headlight so the two would match. The service was great. He took a huge problem off my hands since I was leaving town. Had it ready when he said he would, and shocked my husband, who said it looked like a brand new car. All I can say is: Thanks, Henry!
