Happy’s Auto Body and Paint Shop

I am NOT happy With this place at all. My sister left her GPS in her car while they were fixing it and one of the workers stold it. Please be careful when you leave your car there your items can be stold.

The sign of a good business to me is not if they have problems but more in how they solve them. Over a year ago my husband was in a car accident and we took our car to Happy’s to have the body work done. I was 8 months pregnant and emotional. We have only one car and I was overwrought about being without a car. I was under the impression my car would be done on a Tuesday and when it wasn’t done till Friday I was a wreck. When my husband picked up the car (it looked awesome) Happy told us to come back for a detailing on them for the inconvenience.
Over a year later:
A week before my son’s first birthday I realized my car was disgusting and I called Happy’s unsure if they would honor their offer as it had been over a year since they had made it. I was pleasantly surprised that they not only remembered but were still willing to honor the offer. I set the appointment for a week later and went about my life.
The day came and I forgot the appointment in the frenzy over my son’s first birthday and sheepishly called to apologize and said I would understand if they didn’t want to do it. To my surprise they rescheduled me.
I’ve been driving around in my clean, dent free car all week thinking they are the tops. If you are looking for a shop that does good work, provides good customer service, and is a kind group of folks look no further.
Thank you Happy’s for taking great care of my little family.

Thanks for the great paint job guys! Happys squeezed me in last minute on a Tuesday and I got my car back first thing in the morning g Thursday. Now my car looks brand new and they even washed and vacuumed it for me. Thank you for everything not to mention matching prices when I brought them estimates from other shops.

Nicest people EVER! I took my car over for an insurance repair to my bumper. They worked with the insurance company to get everything sorted, making life easy on me. When I picked up the car, they’d washed it, cleaned the inside beautifully, and gave it an air freshener treatment. Feels like a new car. Thanks, Happy!

Extremely friendly. We were road tripping and a piece of our car fell off. He assured us and checked the car for us for free. Would recommend for any car needs!

I am going to let my cousin who just got his license to drive my car. I want to have my car checked if something needed to get done. They charge me $ 20 for test driving my car. «Okay, I said». I wait for twenty minutes to get someone on the car. That guy never smile even I try very hard. He seems very annoying about questions on my car. I do remember the only thing, he tried to persuade me having the complete car check on it. After test driving it, and I spent for another $ 100 for a complete car check. «Okay.» That guy said the car has a very bad engine with no scheduled oil change. This should be repaired. «Wait, I have my oil change on time. I changed it every 4000 thousand miles. That was what my previous mechanic told me to.» The guy said «oh, he used very bad oil on the car. This kind of car requires very good oil.» Some facts on my car: my car is just a normal Toyota family car. My previous mechanic used normal oil from the market. Nothing fancy. The car passed the smog check this year (2015). I drive it with no wired things happened. I drove back to my previous mechanic where he is far away from here. He said nothing is wrong with the car. My whole experience in Happy’s Auto Body and Paint Shop is they are trying to ripping off my money. THEY just to persuade me on spending money and money on something that is unneeded. Then I left the store. MY SUGGESTION is going to other store to get a quote first or after if you are really have NO CHOICE TO GO THIS STORE. Very unhappy here. Bad mechanic service and bad customer service. Very unprofessional and dishonesty people.

I had an excellent experience at Happy’s. I couldn’t find an auto detail place in Santa Barbara willing to help me, and Happy did that, and more. He went the extra mile on everything and really helped me out while I was in such a tight spot. Happy will be getting all my future car service, and come highly recommended to all my friends.

Today I backed into a car and dented my rear bumper and I was so bummed and frustrated because I just bought this car 2 months ago. My wife suggested I take it to Happy’s, he met with me for an estimate within ½ hour of my call, gave me a fair price, and had my bumper looking 99% better in 90min. I just have to take it back for some paint touch up. This was exceptional Service!!!

I highly recommend Happy’s Auto, from start to finish, very courteous, friendly and helpful! They keep you informed of everything that’s going on with your car, you will receive updates from one of their friendly and very knowledgeable staff! They did a beautiful job on my car, I was involved in an accident in which a car hit me. Not only are the staff friendly, kind and knowledgeable, they are highly skilled and talented in their work! I was very satisfied and grateful with the finish, Happy (Facundo, sp?) gave me a wonderful and beautiful finished project inside and out! Before you decide to go some place else, I highly recommend you start here! You will not be disappointed!

My fiancé got into a crash with my car (not his fault) and I have never had to deal with the stresses of the insurance company and the hassle of not having you car with a 4 month old, and working 50 hours a week.
I am simply speechless with the outcome of getting my car serviced here! The only problem I had was with the insurance company taking so long to figure stuff out on their end.
Anyways, As soon as I walked in I was greeted by Aaron (not sure how its spelled) and he was so kind, and understanding. He really took the time to assure me that everything was going to be just fine, and that they would take care of me. He was in touch with my insurance company more than I was, and getting information from them for me. He even set up a car rental for me. I literally did nothing! The Owner (Happy) really made me feel like I was important, and seemed to really care about my situation. And for all the guys on the crew, THANK YOU for making my car look and run great! the paint job looks amazing! and they even fixed a small knick that was not part of the crash and didn’t charge me. And the lady who works there (I forgot her name) but each time I spoke with her she was so friendly! Everyone was truly all HAPPY.
All in all, I am so pleased with the customer service, and the outcome of the job they did. I would only recommend Happy’s!
P. S. They do an amazing tint jobs!!!

I cant believe this place doesn’t have a Unilocal page! I had to add them!
I had gotten into a car accident a couple weeks ago (and the insurance company I had to deal with was a pain in my ass to say the least) and before then, a tree fell on my car. (FML RIGHT)
So, I was referred to this place by a very popular Auto Body Place in Santa Barbara, because I wanted to use aftermarket parts on my vehicle so I could get more bang for my buck with what the insurance company owed me for damages.

First off, I call this place, at 6, thinking I was going to leave a message since their hours are 9AM-​5PM just like any other Auto Body place. Someone picks up at 6:00PM and he told me they were closing soon, but they had to get a couple things done for some customers, but he was more than willing to stay open to check out my car. I then brought it in, showed him the paper work for my vehicle from the insurance company, and he asks what happened, ect.
I informed him that before I was rear ended, a tree had fallen on my car, and that was why my hood was dented, and he said, lets try to help you out as much as possible!
Two weeks went by (because the damned insurance company had failed to send out an appraiser on time) and Happy himself calls me yesterday and says, «The insurance company has not gotten back to me about getting more funds to fix the internal damages to your car, but since you’ve been waiting for so long, I’m going to order them anyway, and help you out, because you’ve been so patient.» He assures me that my car will be done Tuesday of next week at latest, and that he has ordered a new hood for me!!!
I can’t even begin to tell you how stressed I have been about my car, and they always seem to make my day, with their positive attitudes, and professionalism. They are always willing to help, and assist me with what I need, as well as go above and beyond for their customers. This place is HIGHLY recommended for those who need help with their Auto Body problems. Thank you Happy for helping me out!
