Recently was hit passenger side, decided to come here based off the reviews (4.9) which is amazing! I essentially had to get my entire passenger side either replaced or repainted. Based off their reviews I decided to give them more business by paying little over $1000 to have the trunk lid/wing repainted due to the clear coat fading away. Overall the actual bodywork was done pretty well, im happy with the color matching.
Unfortunately there's a couple spots where there's white or black under the clearcoat, it's pretty small but it's frustrating when people notice it when I'm trying to show them the car after the paint job.

Called to shut up car repairs. I was directed immediately to the correct person who could help me. He answered our questions and quickly went over the process so far I feel very positive about Sid's Auto body. --Bruce Ellsworth

Very friendly, they will keep you updated even if you don't ask and we got our car back cleaner then when we dropped it off. Definitely recommend this company!

I' will pay premium price for quality customer service any day. Although my work was paid by my insurance. I came back twice. Each time the quality of service and work was above my expectations. By the way I initially went to Caliper Collison, they couldn't do the job. Hmmmmm

Got in an accident in early December, and when I was finally able to get things worked out with the insurance, they had my car repaired and back to new in 10 days (estimated 14).
