SkillCraft Body Shop

Skillcraft did a really awesome job with my car. The left fender was messed up from a truck hitting me and Skillcraft was recommended by my insurance. They were very accommodating and explained thoroughly how things would cost and how much each part was. It was my first time in an accident, so they walked through everything with me. Mark ancheta was my point of contact throughout the process and he was nice to even send me my itinerary over the weekend, despite not being open during those hours. When I got my car back, I noticed everything was in even better shape than it was previously and was pleasantly surprised by the extra service they did by cleaning my car, outside and inside. Definitely recommend their services!

I cannot tell you the world class experience I received form Andy at Skill Craft Body Shop. Let me first say how professional the office was, more like a bank than a body shop, which with other body shops is usually less than desirable to be in. I looked in he shop area and it was clean and neat as well. Truly a professional operation. That was for me the indication of how the company will be in regards to the repair of my vehicle, and I was 100% correct. Andy coordinated all the paper work for me, kept in contact with me during the entire process. When I received the vehicle, it was repaired better than when new. I understand now why most of the major insurance companies recommend Skill Craft.

My first experience seeking a body shop. I was treated very kindly, quickly by obviously very experienced and professional people. Without any knowledge of what I needed mike and Dana Gave me honest options of how my repair could be done at less cost to me, spoke with my insurance company and contacted me all within 1 hour of meeting them. I. Am thrilled

The first time I used them they did such a good job I would have given 6 stars.
So recently after someone vandalized my wife’s wagon, I went back. From the start out didn’t feel friendly. But to say they were rude, but not overly welcoming. Complete change from the first time when I felt they wanted my business.
Moving on… Work is finished. I go pick up the wagon. Same reception… It felt like escrow when you refi. Not rude, but they know you aren’t going elsewhere. The first time I went they were happy to deliver the car. This time, money, sign, keys, go away.
Walk to the driver door, all looks great, but they missed a quarter size scuff on the mirror. OK, guy in back told to buff the doors not the mirror. Whatever I’ll live.
Open door and notice the door edge guard is missing below the side molding. Great… Service writer was long gone… I’ll park the car, go inside…
Lucky for me they left the trim sitting in the cupholder by the shifter. High quality QC! I installed it myself and left before I would be tempted to complain about the mirror.
I’m still giving them 4 stars because overall the work is better than most body/​butcher shops.
Would I go out of my way to recommend them? Not anymore. My work was considering a new body shop for company vehicles but they may as well stick with the current body shop since the main issue with them is poor customer service.

I have used Skillcraft Auto body, in Huntington Beach 3 times in the past couple years for body repairs on my Infiniti, and I want everyone to know this is the best auto body repair shop in the business in my opinion. I grew up here and have used others over the years but none are as superior as SkillCraft !!!
The staff is great, from the minute you walk in the door, they are pleasant and professional, a huge plus in my book .
While my car was being repaired, Mark or Dan called me to keep me updated on the progress and estimate time of completion .
I have been very pleased with the repair work, my car always looks great when I pick it up and I will never use any other shop in the future
I recommend SkillCraft AutoBody to anyone looking for a highly professional and superior, well done shop !!!

I had an incident where my 2010 Challenger where every panel and surface on the car had some damage with the most occurring on the nose of the car. Nothing major, but just a lot of it. I called AAA and they had Skillcraft Body Shop on their list of approved repair centers. I was really devastated to have my beloved car with so much work needed to get it repaired. I was concerned that it would not have that new look I had work so hard to keep since I bought it new. Lewis was my service manager and he took the car in and assured me they would take care of it. Even when I had a bad day and was not my pleasant self, Lewis was calm and understanding. I came back several times to check on the progress of the car and they were very accommodating. They were very responsive and professional. I just picked up the car today and I am just amazed how it looks brand new. My Challenger came with with RT stripes and I was afraid they would not look the same, but I was very pleasantly surprised to see that the stripes looked perfect. The paint has a mirror finish and attention to detail is phenomenal. Every part that was replaced was replaced with factory Dodge parts, and it shows down to the last detail. I very much recommend Skillcraft to do repair and bodywork on anyone’s car.

My 2014 wrx was rearended and took it to skillcraft and the car looks perfect again. Thanks for taking great car of my car

Took my car in to get it fixed from a prior accident. Skill craft body shop do their best and care about their clients. My car looks 100% new from their work they did, they do an awesome job. I recommend this place to anyone who needs a body work done to their car.

I have two complaints. The first is in my initial estimate to pay cash to fix my car was $ 7000. When I decided to use insurance the estimate was for only$ 4100. They second estimator, his name is Andy H, decided I did not need two new doors one could be fixed with bondo. Why is it $ 3000 more to fix the same damage when paying cash? And why does one estimator feel I should get new parts but Andy H feel he should use a bandaid to fix it.
Second complaint after examining my truck further they decided they did not want to the work because there had been damage there before. This is the body shop my insurance company recommended me to use. I RECOMMEND TO ALL «DO NOT USE SKILLCRAFT»

Great service and great work. Complete coordination with AAA and no hassles. Delivered as promised. Highly recommend.

I have been taking my family’s cars and have been recommending friends to Skill Craft for over a decade and have been nothing but overwhelmed with their quality and friendly atmosphere.
Everyone I have come in contact with has been ultra knowledgable, professional and very easy to work with. I would, without hesitation, recommend Skill Craft to anyone who is looking for a trustworthy, quality body shop.

Skillcraft Body Shop is truly a joy to work with. No one likes to deal with the hassle of fixing up a car after a car accident. Thankfully for me, AAA auto club referred me here and I couldn’t be more satisfied.
I had the pleasure of working with Lewis Bui for my unfortunate rear end bumper damage. My damage was fairly minor but who wouldn’t want a brand new bumper free of charge thanks to insurance? I brought my 2004 Toyota Corolla in on a Friday at 8am for the initial estimate. It took Lewis about 5 minutes to assess the damage and write up his paperwork. I brought my car in on Friday 2÷27÷15 and got it back early afternoon on Wednesday, ¾/​15. There was great communication regarding the turnaround time and promised repairs.
I got a brand new bumper and they even washed and vacuumed the inside of my car! What a nice gesture. My car hasn’t been so clean and good looking in so long! I highly recommend this body shop to anyone in the HB area.

What a great experience I had when I took my car to Skill Craft to have it repaired. After going through all the drama after having been into an accident with my car, they made me feel better knowing that I am in good hands with the repairs. Their employees are very professional and very polite I will recommend their shop to anyone. They did a beautiful job on repairing it you would never know that it had been into an accident.

I had a great experience with this place after a bad fender bender. They worked directly with my insurance company so paperwork was minimal. Mark, the guy in charge of my repairs, kept me up to date on the work being done with phone calls, e-​mails, and photos. He helped me feel like my project was a high priority for them. My car was ready two days ahead of schedule and looks brand new. Thanks Mark and everyone at Skillcraft!

I have been using SkillCaft Body Shop for many years. I sent a customer down a few month ago. Vicki call me to thank me for the referral. She was getting ready to go out of town for 3 weeks. The car was done before my trip but as always very busy getting ready to go. There was no pressure having to pick it up before i left. They stored the car for 3 weeks. When i picked it up it was washed and detailed all ready to go.

So i just had gotten a brand spankin new jeep cherokee and my neighbor backed out of his driveway and hit the front of my new car! UGH! Talk about being worried if it would look as good as it did. But to my great surprise… it looked like new! They were very professional. I highly recommend this body shop!

There was something «huge and black» on the North Bound 405 at Euclid two weeks ago. At 65 miles per hour and cars around, no option but to hit the item. I am still uncertain if what I drove over was the item or the «big piece of car/​bumper» that was tore off at impact. Because the car was driveable, I took the car in, Lewis took pictures and ordered parts. They worked directly with insurance and 3 days after dropping off, for repairs, my car is good as new. This is the second time, I have had the un“fortunate” opportunity to trust them with my vehicle. The first time, was a «total» front end situation. I was pleased with the shop that time as well.
I was impressed both times with the open communication about every aspect of the process including timeframes and repairs. I recommend them.

I had two areas of the car repaired and was worried about how the paint would match on my nine year old car. They did an amazing job with that. When I had my car serviced at the dealer, they commented that they couldn’t tell where the repair had been done due to the quality of the work. I’d recommend them to anyone.

This is the BEST body shop! Unfortunately, my family has been in more than its fair share of accidents and we have tried out a few of the shops in Huntington Beach. Do not go to ANY other shop on Gothard besides SkillCraft. They are honest, affordable, organized, and very easy to communicate with. Other body shops have given us bogus «lifetime warranties» and refused to accept responsibility for errors they made while fixing after a wreck. Everyone at SkillCraft is courteous and and goes out of their way to help you. Where you get your car repaired is VERY important because sometimes improper repair doesn’t show up until years later. HIGHLY recommend SkillCraft. This review is based off of three of my own experiences and a handful more of immediate family members over the past 8 years.

After the first review I promptly received a phone call. The shop was extremely apologetic, and quickly worked to remedy the situation. I had went to another shop to make a new exhaust, and SkillCraft fully reimbursed me for that. All in all the situation has been remedied. I just wish the shop would have fully inspected the car and caught the issue before I took the car home, and found it myself. Lesson learned: inspect EVERYTHING, even crawl underneath your car and get any issue fixed before taking it home. Also, if someone else caused your accident DON“T work with their insurance, use your own! Would I go back to SkillCraft? Yes, I’d be willing to give them another shot.
