Dj Healey Auto Body of Sausalito

This review is well overdue, but Dave deserves a glowing endorsement for his skilled and (more importantly) honest work. I took my car in to touch up several nicks and scratches that seem to have become an unfortunate side effect of urban living. Dave assessed the damage and did a nice job managing my expectations before beginning any work. He told me the worst scratch, after touch-​up, would merely pass the «5 foot test»… meaning it would be visible up close if subject to inspection but not noticeable otherwise and from a reasonable distance.
I imagined myself going to the dealer and paying many multiples of Dave’s price quote, only to become the victim of another hit and run within 30 minutes of the paint drying. So I opted for Dave’s service and could not have been happier with the result. He took a great deal of pride in his work, voluntarily spending extra time mixing the silver paint until it was just right. The touch-​ups look great (even closer than 5 feet), the price was more than fair, and it was simply refreshing to do business with Dave.
Not that I hope for a reason to go back, but if that day comes I will be relieved to have Dave’s number in my rolodex.

I took my car to get an estimate for a front end repair. They were very friendly, knowledgeable and straightforward. I ended up taking my car to a different shop b/​c of insurance restrictions, but I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

Dave, Scott and everyone else at DJ Healey Auto Body are an amazing crew. Dave does everything from very expensive vintage Ferraris, to brand new cars all the way down to a VW Bug. He has fixed my car time and time again, and is a super honest guy.
Being of the young female type I often worry that I have no idea why my car is doing what it is, how much it should really cost etc. I never have to worry about that with Dave, he takes care of the problem, in a timely manner and at a fair price.
He also does some other really crazy custom stuff not mentioned anywhere, like custom upholstery for your car and various other things.

Not sure why this shop hasn’t been reviewed until now! Been going to Dave for about 3 years now. It’s rare to find this kind of no-​nonsense/​no-​BS approach to auto works. Huge asset for Sausalito. Like the previous reviewer wrote: he really cares about the work, will call before anything is done, ensures there are no surprises (as best possible), explains everything (in painstaking detail, if you want!). You won’t find much better.
