Now thank you very much for being kind professional and offered me no only a great service diagnostics if my vehicle after a rear end collision that totaled my car but you treat me like family and your staff was so friendly and nice to me on my vacation to San Francisco. I do own you a lot for the human service that you provide me. Thank you very much. God Bless

Really happy with the service! Had to bring my car in for repairs and the staff was very wonderful and helpful. Though the process took longer than I expected/ hoped they assured me things were moving along. Still, I had to call to check in a few times to see the status of my car and request updates. Joel and Noe were great and explained the damage and repairs thoroughly. The ladies in the office were always very kind and helpful. Avenue returned my car to me in pristine condition, I appreciate the attention to detail. Thank you Avenue!

We brought our Mitsubishi in after a crash and Noe and his crew at Avenue Body Shop were fantastic. Though it took some time due to issues with insurance and car part availability, everyone at the shop did what they could to help us navigate insurance and get the job done as quickly as they could. The service was very friendly and the results were impeccable - our car looks like new, inside and out.

When my car had been hit on the passenger side, I searched Yelp for an excellent body shop. After reading the reviews on Avenue Body, I called them around 4:30 p.m. for an estimate. A couple of the other body shops I called didn't even answer at that time. The admin staff answered immediately and invited me to come in for an estimate that afternoon. Joel, one of the owners, met me in the driveway, and showed me around the shop. He was so gracious as were all of the admin staff. They really take care of you and your car and my car looks like new! Highly recommended.
