My Experience

Cory and Kelly were fantastic. Everything was very efficient and they were very communicative. Zero pressure. Explained everything. Car looks great. I asked if I could bring my car back to have some other work done. Very thankful to this team.

My Experience

The worst experience I’ve ever had. Terrible service and costumer service (Armando Vasquez). Bad paint finishes and damaged parts of my truck that didn’t have to do with the repair parts.

Able to get an estimate quickly and follow up with appointment to start repair. Armando was very kind and took excellent care of my car and explained everything clearly. Corey, receptionist was very friendly and through. Would refer my friends to Balboa Auto Body. Thank you

Customer Service

I was never informed/updated about the status of my car. About a week after I dropped off my car, I called and asked for an update. I talked to a gentleman and he told me they ordered all the parts and that they would be getting them by the following Tuesday and I would have my car back by 2/22/23. Never heard any updates. I called for updates since I wasn’t getting any. First time I got told you guys were just waiting on my fender. Then I called around 2/24/23 to see an update. I got told now you guys got the fender but now you were waiting on headlight fixture kit (which was never mentioned the previous time and I don’t understand why not). Then I called the day I ended up getting my car back for an update which is how I knew my car was as done. Otherwise I don’t think I would have known it was done. It was explained to me at pick up that it was a system issue And he was calling the company that controls that to get it fixed. And I was given a $25 gas card for the inconvience, but I don’t feel that makes up for the stress that was put on me. I also ran over on my car rental because I wasn’t being informed on updates. Plus how did nobody notice when I was calling for updates (and told them that I wasn’t getting any) that the system wasn’t emailing or texting me. They should have checked and figured out that there was a problem earlier: I gave a 2 because the guy at pickup explained and tried to make it up to me, but it was an extremely stressful month because I wasn’t getting updates and didn’t have the time to keep calling because I also worked during your open hours.

Everything went well and the staff great 👍

My Experience

Everyone I encountered had a friendly, “can do” attitude! Ms. Kelly Vu answered my questions and even though our conversations were brief, she made me feel like my car was in good hands. And I wasn’t disappointed. Thanks !
