Emerald City Auto Body

These guys are great. They work with you and provide quick turnaround on your vehicle so you aren’t going to wait forever to get your car back.
Real reasonable prices by SF standards for sure.
Great small family owned place.

Nice people and good, dependable service. Julio is terrific and really does care to do a good job.

Excellent work, I have brought a couple of my vehicles to Julio, and the paint job and body work has always been amazing!

This shop came highly recommended by a mechanic shop. I went to get an honest opinion about a scratch. Julio was gracious and gave me a quick and honest opinion (I didn’t need to do anything unless it cosmetically bothered me … He even offered to show me how to touch it up if I got the dealer touch up paint). Thanks!

Amazing service, these guys take care of you from start to finish. They did an excellent job fixing up my baby, and even fixed my broken door handle for free! Without me asking. Very professional, thank you Julio

I brought my black mustang here and Julio with his team did an amazing job, I’m extremely happy.

Julio and his team did an amazing job on my 2006 BMW. Attention to detail inside and out, over exceeding my expectations! I’m so glad I brought my car to his shop and will do so again in the future!

Julio and his team performed just an unbelievable job on my 1971 Fiat Spider. I’d just had a terrible experience at another body shop on an insurance repair (do not go to Symmons Auto Body & Fender in Danville!!!), in which they’d painted a section of the car and the paint match was not even close and they claimed the work was satisfactory and refused to fix it. So, I was in a bad frame of mind and untrusting of anyone at that point. Emerald City came highly recommended by another Fiat owner, so I decided to take the car far from home in the hope that this shop would provide the kind of result I’d originally been hoping for. To resolve the botched job, which only involved painting about ¹⁄₃ of the car or less, we decided to have Emerald City do a full re-​paint, as well as some repairs to the body first, to ensure the highest quality result. From the very first interaction, I had great confidence that Julio knew what he was doing and that he would take good care of me. Particularly knowing what a bad previous experience I’d had back in Danville, where I live, he made sure I was comfortable with the process and what was going to be done. I picked the car up yesterday, 1÷19÷2015. The car was sitting out front, had been freshly detailed, inside & out and was shining in the sun (see pictures). Julio went above and beyond anything I could have hoped for, with the small details even addressed. The door jams freshly painted, all the trim properly reinstalled, even things like where previous paint jobs had resulted in overspray on the bumper mounts and other spots, he’d had that overspray removed even though that was not something they’d done. I just couldn’t be happier with the overall result. Old cars can be a challenge to work on with old, delicate parts and unfamiliar trim, but none of that was an issue and frankly, the car was put back together better than I’ve ever seen it and this was an award winning show car before, so that is saying something.

If I could give this place a 10, I would. The staff was absolutely pleasant and totally helpful in all of my questions. They completed the work at half the cost other places were quoting me in SF and finished the job EARLIER than expected. Who does that? My car is as good as new and looks like nothing ever happened. Would definitely recommend to anything out there in need of superb auto work.

Emerald City did a fantastic job on my car. I was very impressed. Not only that, but the staff is super friendly. The girls in reception are so helpful, kind and genuine. It was a great experience, despite the circumstances. I would definitely recommend them to anyone in need of work on their car.

I pulled in here for some body work on my Toyota RAV 4, not because I knew anything about Emerald City, but because it was located conveniently to me and looked business-​like. I took a chance and went in and met Julio. Liked him immediately — he proved to be a friendly and immensely likable man who dealt with me in a competent and trustworthy manner. He quoted me a price ¹⁄₃ less that what I had heard from other body shops in the city, performed the work on schedule and the work was letter perfect. As if that were not enough — and it is – the office is managed by two beautiful women. Emerald City is named for the city in Wizard of Oz – another point in the shop’s favor. You don’t find many body shops named with a sense of humor. Emerald City Auto Body stands at the pinnacle of S.F. auto body shops.

Make sure you look for julio. Julio and his crew took great care of me while my vehicle was being repaired. I will definitely come back for my future autobody needs.

Julio and his guys are amazing! After some dickstain pulled a hit and run on my car, denting the radiator frame, they pulled it, aligned my «new» junk yard hood and grille, and even put my new Merc emblem on for free (which is not easy apparently), all for a decent price. Super friendly, professional, and fast. Saved me a grip. Love this place!

My story starts out sad but has a happy ending thanks to Emerald City…
In a rush to get my girls to school, I started reversing my wagon when my daughter yells MOM– STOP! The rear passenger door was still open, and unfortunately, lined up directly to a metal pole. So my car door fought with the pole, and the pole won.
My door looked like a bear tried to pry it open on top.
Took my car to the dealership, and they promptly told me to take it to an auto body repair shop. The first two shops said I would have to get a new door, with one quote around $ 2200 + 5 – 7 days of my car in the shop (so another $ 200 for car rental)! My last stop was a recommendation from a friend of friend’s– Emerald City. (The recommend came from someone who trust Emerald to re-​furbish vintage cars.)
Not only did owner Julio say he could actually repair the door, but he gave me a quote of $ 250 – 300, and he could do it in a day versus the 5 – 7 biz days the other shops required.
True to his word, the door came back like nothing happened. And he apologized that it took longer than expected, so it would be $ 300, not $ 250. $ 50 was nothing considering I was looking at a $ 1k deductible plus car rental for a week plus.
I will forever take any car to this man. He has so much integrity, and his shop is magical as far as I’m concerned!
Yeah Julio and staff!!! Thanks for making my little car whole again!

Been going here for years! From my oldest car to my newest car Julio been working on all of them. Good quality work and quick too. It feels like they did a job that would take 1 week minimum into a couple of days. I recommend this place too anybody who needs to get some body work done to there vehicle. Excellent people, Excellent work, and Excellent Business. You can’t get anything better than that.

Go ahead and get estimates from the other guys, but know that you will probably end up here. I went to several shops when I wanted to paint my 1990 Jeep Cherokee — every other price was outrageous and some guys were even disrespectful about why I would want to re-​paint my car… needless to say they did not get my business!
Julio and his crew are helpful and careful, and they promise a lifetime guarantee of their work. They go above and beyond to deliver quality work and their service is top-​notch.

I commend Emerald City not only for the outstanding job that they did to my car, but also the professionalism that this company provides.
A few weeks ago I brought my car in after wrecking the whole left side and was terrified that my poor baby was done. To my surprise, they fixed my car as to where it looks better than ever!
Julio, the owner made sure that I understood as to what needed to be done with my car, costs, and the time frame it’ll take to get everything done. Efficient communication like this from auto body shops is hard to find, which is why I value the customer service they provide.
Thank you for the amazing job, and for that, cheers to Julio and his great team at Emerald City!

I took my car to get fixed at Emerald City and not only the repair job was superb, the service and treatment were outstanding. I cannot say enough good things about Julio and his team. Their cost was lower than at least two other body shops I had visited. The car literally looked like new, and they even fixed a few dents in the rear bumper — from parking on the street — for free. What else can you ask for? If your car needs body work, make sure you visit them.

I am so glad to see all 5 stars for Julio and his team. I just had a small paint job done for my Honda, but Julio treated me like a valued customer, picked me up when my car was ready and gave me a better price than I could ever have imagined. After having a business for decades, you would expect the owner to become jaded, but this place really makes you feel good about coming back!

Wow this place is awesome! I brought in my damaged Honda Civic and they made it beautiful again!!! I am truly happy with the work. They have excellent customer service. I felt welcomed and they tended my concerns and needs. Best of all, it didn’t cost me an ARM OR A LEG! I was worried about what I have to pay for the work but it only cost me half of what I initially thought I had to pay. THANK YOU Emerald City! I am one happy customer and I recommend this place to anyone. Best decision ever!
