Omar was extremely honest and helpful. He saved me >$1,000 for my repair as other locations told me I had to paint my damages and Omar was the only one to say we can get it fixed through PDR. Gave me a free detailing job on the car and made it look brand new. Got my car in and out very quickly. Best shop in the city without a doubt. Services: General repairs & maintenance, Body & Trim

Fantastic communication and service. I had a multi-month road trip planned, but was rear-ended a few months before departure. Omar got my jeep looking better than new with time to spare. By far the best experience I've ever had with a body shop. Services: Painting, Body & Trim

Bavarian Collision repaired my vehicle. The repair was done in a timely fashion and it looks great. The staff was very responsive to my needs and answered any questions I had. Hope fully I don't need them again but if i do need anymore body work done I will definitely use Bavarian Collision
