Tam’s Auto Body Shop

Originally took my car to F. Lafrano and Sons and they could not get one of the panels to stay down using really crappy double sided tape. Took it to Tam’s, and they fixed it the same day for super cheap. They even washed it — couldn’t be happier, these guys rock!

Came back for another crunched bumper when someone reversed into me, while I was parked. Again the work was stellar. That section of my car looks brand new… shows the rest of my car up.
Eric is a fabulous craftsman.

I was introduced to this auto shop by a close friend of mine, and I couldn’t have expected better! They did an extremely detailed and thorough job on my car, while being completely understanding and professional. My car feels like it’s brand new from the manufacturer and I am extremely happy. Thank you Tam’s Auto Body!

I highly recommend Tam’s Auto Body. They are very courteous and professional. The owner, Tom, has been in the field for years and is very experienced and knowledgeable. He works with you to get your vehicle fixed right and to your satisfaction.

Eric is incredible. He fixes our Range Rover, Jaguars, BMW 7-​Series, M3, Toyota Land Cruiser, and Subaru WRX. I’ve brought cars in to him at least a dozen times; they always return perfect and the price is usually unbelievably low. I’ve sent Eric many a friend in need, and they have always given positive feedback. I hope we’ll never need it, but I’d even let him fix the Ferrari!

I’ve been going to Tam’s Autobody for over 12 years and they have always done tip-​top work. They always work with you and the insurance company to get your car back to you ASAP. They know the ins and outs of dealing with the insurance people and is always upfront about their work and cost. Great guys!

This is an excellent auto body shop. I went here on recommendation of Alan at Excalibur, who is a fantastic mechanic. Before going to Tam’s I had received an estimate from another body shop (Toyota Dealership Recommended) for over $ 9000, Tam’s Did the repair for under $ 3000. They never budged from their original estimate, the service was honest and the car looks brand new even though none of the panels were replaced. This is where Alan brings his own cars, and so it is not surprising that they do such great work!

In a tough neighborhood, this shop does fantastic work. Always stick to their estimates, and they always do more than they say (repairing other little dings, scratches, etc.). And on time and fast. They also are experts at working with your insurance company. I’ve had a number of cars in this shop over the years, and Tam and Eric have never let me down.

I just got my corolla type S 2010 toyota car. Some guy hit me from the back a month ago when my car was only 2 months old. Thank God my dad and the owner is a long time friend. :)

Great, family-​run business. First visit, they opened the garage early so I could get to work. Father and sons always take you back to their office to work out your business terms. Price quoted over the phone was less than the final bill. So they styled me with the lower, quoted price.
One week later, some guy tears into my rear bumper, so on my way back to Tam’s Autobody — I got a flat tire — they offered to buy wholesale saving me the whole Tire Barn hassle. They also faxed the estimate to the offending party who quickly paid up. Total thumbs up.

A friend of mine took me here since i needed a autoguy to fix a fender bender on my dad’s mbenz s500. at first when i got to this place, i was like «OH NO» another one of those low end Chinese Auto Body Shops, but i was definitely wrong. As soon as i parked the car up that steep entryway to their main floor (2^nd), i was pretty darn surprised. They had a 7 Series was was buffed to almost 10% factory paint left. That car apparently was vandalized and needed a full repaint. Not only was the paint damaged on that vehicle but other stuff as well (i forgot what he told me, but anyways). Since i saw the 7 series (07) getting it’s job done here, i felt like these guys would be professional. They also had another s500 for repair and a couple of those modify cars on the rack.
Anyways, i was greet by Eric, pretty cool dude. He just told me to leave the car and he’ll do the rest. Basically he got an estimate, for the bumper, front hood grill, left headlight, bottom bumper mesh, paint job, labor… etc = $ 4600. The estimate was pretty close and my insurance company approved 4300 of it. These guys definitely didnt try to rape the insurance company. Oh, also, they offered to take care of a side job on the benz as well. Basically both jobs were schedule to be completed approximately 5 business days after the insurance company okays the job.
Tomorrow is my day to pick up the car. I will definitely revisit this review when i see the completed job. hope the paint matches 100% and they didn’t mess up anything else.

went to pick up the car, everything was sweet. they also polished up parts of my car and removed some of the scratches that were on the car before. after i left, i pulled into a gas station that was couple blocks away. as i did the fillup, i took a walk around and i found a small dent-​looking thing on the front bumper. called back the shop and the manager told me to swing by and they will look at it. as soon as i got there, the boss of the shop came out and immediately figured out the problem and the issue, he explained that there was a minor problem painting and they were glad i pointed it out. they told me to leave the car and they started working on the problem. they told me to come back tomorrow to pick up the car.

went back to pick up the car and they fixed the problem. the car looked shiny and without problems. the car looked absolutely perfect. i could barely find any fisheye problems (probably only 2 – 3 very small) on the paint job.
anyways, i dropped of my other car to fix a golfball size dent on my front wheel fender (passenger side). dropped off the car @ 1:30, they told me to come back 3 – 4 hrs later. i called @ 3:30 and the car was already done. i can barely see the dent, but as the owner of the car, if you look @ a certain angle i can still make out the dent. if someone were to look @ it, i bet they wouldn’t see the dent. i think it was a perfect job since i paid ²⁄₅ of the price that someone would charge outside. Paintless dent crews quoted me 250 bucks. you do the math if you want to know how much i paid.
overall, highly recommended.
Call the manager (Eric) and say Eric sent you. Go and get an honest price quote from them. you’ll be satisfied

OK, so I admit people have to watch the road more carefully when I’m behind the wheels. If you see a little Asian girl with blonde hair driving in a white Scion TC, watch out. I am a horrible driver and I have bad luck, well at least I think so. I’ve been bringing my car here PLENTY of times, but not just me, I think my family and I have brought our cars in with a total of maybe 7 – 8 times. They even remember me by now. When ever I come here, they’re always like, «So what happened now?» or have the look of, «Oh shit, another one?» Every time I bring my car here, I always get my car back pretty fast unless they have to order parts for my car. Every worker here is so friendly… especially the father and son.
