My insurance recommended Burnside to replace my bumper. I was in for an estimate really fast. They gave me a date to drop off and pick up. The pickup date got change and they communicated well. My car was BEAUTIFUL when picked up. It was cleaner than when I had dropped it off! The paperwork came in a nice little folder to keep in my glove compartment. Very happy with my service!

This was my first experience with Burnside Body shop. They were extremely helpful. Thanks to Nicole and Jeremy my vehicle was done to perfection! Even though it took a little longer to finish than expected ( do to all the parts delays) they kept me informed. I would highly recommend this shop to anyone who appreciates the welcoming atmosphere they provide.

The staff at Burnside was very helpful and took care of everything when I took my car for repairs after a car accident. They dealt with insurance themselves and I didn't have to do a thing (besides dropping off and picking up the car)! The repairs look amazing and it's like nothing ever happened! Highly recommend Burnside!

Great team at Burnside. Efficient and well-managed. They took care of insurance easily and professionally. They even handled my rental car return which was so convenient. I can tell they have good relationships with people and other local businesses. Service: Body & Trim

I took my vehicle here because back when I worked for Enterprise Rent a Car, we picked up customers from Burnside pretty regularly. That was 12-16yrs ago when I was an MT and much better looking. Fast forward to 2022 and boom I'm hit on the freeway and needed some bodywork. I do the rental thing for a bit when I get the call my car is ready. I have to say I'm pretty damn impressed with their work.
My car looks like new again and I'm very happy. On top of what the insurance covered Jared agreed to black out my chrome on the house, WOW! That was awesome! Definitely recommend them, Jared and the Burnside crew are very professional and courteous.

They replaced my busted mirror on drivers side and replaced a broken interior door handle. They did both in an hour! These guys are awesome. Fast workers, looked great. And a price you cant beat, parts incl. The dealer would have charged me double to replace what they did. I'm moving to Sacramento soon but I mean it, I will drive to Modesto to have these guys do any more work on my car. My parents live here, so makes it convenient for me but they worth the drive. I saw some beautiful high end cars being worked on in their shop; these guys shop super clean & professional.
