AB Auto Body and Repairs

Honest family owned business with great service. Lots of downtown san jose mechanics but I give this autobody shop a glowing recommendation. I thought the brakes needed to be fixed on my car but he was honest and told me I had plenty of brakes left. Being a woman who doesn’t know a lot about cars I needed someone I can trust.

I brought my car to AB Auto Body for repairs after a hit and run accident. John was very informative and kept up good communication with me throughout the process. Their prices were very reasonable and their work was exceptional. John does it all: paint, repair, mechanical, etc. During my repairs, BMW did not have one of my parts in stock; John took the initiative and drove out to SF to make sure I had my car up and running for work. Overall a great experience and would recommend to a friend.

I’ve been through so many cars, and AB Auto Body has taken care of every car I’ve had since I was 16.
He always tells you exactly what’s going on and the progress of the work that’s being done. He has very good communication and always keeps you up to date.
He fixes everything from Fender Benders, maintenance repairs, paint jobs, windows, and any motor related issues. He’s highly recommended, I’ve always had a great experience here.

I found this place after researching several auto shops. John was knowledgeable and answered all of my questions patiently and thoroughly. He treats his clients like family and goes above and beyond to make sure that your vehicle is safe to drive! I went to him first for a repair on my car window and found his quote to be the best price in the area. He fixed the window and had it back to me really quickly! I have been going back to him for all my car problems ever since.
When I was shopping for a new car recently, I brought prospective cars for him to test drive and check out. He expertly identified bad parts or potentially bad things that could happen just by driving and listening to the parts moving! Amazing! I ended up buying a car upon his recommendation and it was so nice to feel secure and confident about buying a used car. He also gave me really great advise about what I should or should not do to maintain my car in good condition.
John REALLY knows his stuff and he is an honest man who takes his business and word very seriously. John has been my regular mechanic (and my family’s!) and I have referred friends to him with very good feedback. His prices have remained reasonable and his service is very consistent.

When it comes to cars, I am the last person you should ask about anything, so when my «Maintenance Required» light started flashing I was completely lost. I usually bring my car into the Toyota dealership but the maintenance package I had purchased expired and I refused to overpay for what I heard is mainly an oil change and just a check for everything else.
I came to AB Auto Body on the recommendation of a friend and I was very pleased with the service I received. My car was at 65,000 and I knew I would need an oil, transmission fluid, spark plug and air filter change, but he also gave me the answer to why my brakes have been shrieking bloody murder every time I braked. I’ve been asking the Toyota dealership about the squeaking for well over a year, and they would just tell me it was normal. When John checked on my brake pads we saw that they were worn all the way down and I needed new ones; thank goodness he caught this! He checked over everything else and said I didn’t need anything else changed (he saw that I had already gotten the tuning belt changed). He was very straight forward about what needed to be done and didn’t try to sell me on anything I didn’t need, which was much appreciated. In the end I paid around $ 200 for everything, which is a whole lot less than what I had expected from researching online.
I can now breathe easier now that I have a go-​to place for my auto care needs; after all, how else is a foodie to get around if her car isn’t functioning?
