John Briggs Motorsports

I’ve been in the insurance business for over 35 years. And worked with many body shops. I am very happy with the professional work and attention to detail that I have received. Best body shop hands down in the SB area. Bill T.

No matter where you live, it’s good to have an in on some local secrets. Here’s one of them: The quality attention, service and detailed work John Briggs did on my car was outstanding. From the moment I contacted them, they were clear about what to expect, their estimate of time needed for repair and what exactly they needed to do, as well as where they were sourcing the parts from — and best of all, they worked impressively fast with the insurance company paying for the work. They were pros from start to finish and made my experience absolutely painless. And how nice to get the car back detailed and sparkling like it was brand new again. In the unfortunate event you have an accident or if you just want to get a project for your vehicle done well — I cannot recommend John Briggs high enough for their craftsmanship and impressive customer service.

John and Marsha can turn getting your car damaged by a hit and run a pleasant experience! I’ve taken my car to them three times already. Every time my car has looked even better than before. Two times my car required the door sheet to be replaced and re — painted, and the last time my side mirror had to be replaced and a dent had to be fixed. The paint matching job that they do is EXCELLENT. They will treat your car like their own, and will do everything to make it look impeccable again. And it always does…
I’ve found them to be really honest with their prices as well. Work was always performed on time, which is something I really appreciated too. They also work with most insurances.
If anything ever happens to my car, I wouldn’t doubt it for one second and I know I will only be taking it to John Briggs.
You can rest assured that your car will be in the best possible hands if you choose to work with this business!

John and Marsha are amazing!!! They handled everything I expected and then some! I couldn’t have asked for a better body shop. I will never go anywhere again. If you want quality work and quality service this is the place to go.

John Briggs is the best body shop in Goleta/​Santa Barbara. I would recommend them to anyone who needs work on their vehicle. Their work is amazing and like the damage never happened. Quality work and amazing service, I wouldn’t go anywhere else! Always go to John Briggs first!

My BMW was rear-​ended by a hit-​and-​runner. Trunk lid was push in to the tune of $ 3500. Briggs came highly recommended by the Auto Dentist (another excellent local business) who looked at my car and said the repair required more work than he could provide. Briggs provided outstanding service, perfect work, and an overall great personalized customer experience.

Terrific business that did a fantastic job with my 2010 Range Rover! Thank you!!! John and Marsha are very personable and extremely pleasant to work with. Work was performed on time and my car shines like never before.

John and Marcia (the owners) are true professionals. My first contact was with Marcia who scheduled a time for me to bring in my car as well as suggest that I work with the local Hertz office. She coordinated everything with AAA and Hertz and had the rental car delivered to the shop when I dropped my car off for repair. It was a very seamless process. The work was done one week later as promised. The work was very well done and I could not tell what area had been repaired. They even fixed some shoddy work that had been done by another local autobody shop a few years ago. It is very evident that John is very skilled at what he does and takes a lot of pride in his work. I don’t write a lot of online review but a 5-​star review in this case is clearly warranted. Great results and great customer service. It is greatly appreciated.

This place is hands down the best auto body shop in town! When my brand new car got hit a week before my wedding, I was devastated. My soon to be husband recommended this shop after taking many cars here over the years. Boy am I glad I did! John and Marcia are professional, honest, sincere and clearly take their shops’ reputation for great customer service seriously!
Dropped my car off on Monday and a few days later it looked brand new again! I was thrilled with the work. I was over charged by the rental car company my insurance company set up and Marcia personally called to have the extra charges refunded! I don’t know many shops that would go to that length to satisfy a customer!
Bottom line, if you want great service and excellent repair work, look no further than John Briggs Motorsports!

This is my second time (first with two cars) at JBM. Just as I’d paid off my car, some num-​nut clipped it. Marcia’s estimate was fair and detailed, and John’s work made the dents vanish and the paint look new and of a piece. You don’t go to body shops because the news is good, but this is easily my choice if I need this work again.

Let me start out by saying I’ve owned over 17 cars and have worked with numerous paint shops in the Santa Barbara and Goleta area over the past 10 years. With that being said John Briggs is hands down THE BEST shop around. Marsha and John are very nice and very easy to work with not to mention the work they do is phenomenal. I brought in my BMW with a very unique and metallic factory paint and they fixed two dents/​gouges in the paint that were in rather precarious locations and I can’t tell where it was painted at all. This is the place to take your car if you want it done right, plain and simple. Don’t waste your time and money going to one of the bigger shops that is just churning cars out as fast as they can, these guys will take care of you and your car.

I cannot fully express my gratitude for all the help John Briggs motorsports has provided. I take great pride in my vehicle and have been very hesitant to have anyone (other than myself, of course) do any work on my truck. Unfortunately, I have had two incidents which required that I bring my vehicle in to have it serviced. The first incident stemmed from an accident where I was rear ended and my (brand new at the time) truck was severely damaged. John and his wife, Marsha, not only made me feel at ease, but also helped set up a rental car for me. In addition, they dealt with my insurance and were extremely responsive — they return calls promptly and all your questions are answered. My second experience with John Briggs was also during a very trying time. My car was vandalized and needed over 3k worth of repairs. Again, the experience was nothing short of amazing. They assured me my vehicle was in good hands, got working on it and the end product was fantastic. My truck looks great! I recommend this shop to everyone I know.
