Bastoli Auto Body & Paint

I’m about 2 years late on the review but I went here after reading the Unilocal reviews and he’s a total life saver. Quality work that doesn’t break the bank and he’s super knowledgeable. I’ve been going only to Jimmy ever since, I just feel comfortable handing over my car to him. I recommend him to all my friends because he’s very personal with all his customers and that’s the type of person you want to take your business to.

I love when i have a genuine, 5star ‘Yelp-​able’ experience where the experience *alone* makes me happy to write a review. These days its rare to not get coaxed into having to write one for the most basic of transactions.
Bastoli is that authentic 5 star experience. Jim B didn’t have to take his time & help me out, but he saved my a$$ & my ca$h.
He didnt even ask for a review. He’s the man! Other spots in the area are liable to not even take a job if its not ‘worth it’. If Bastoli’s can help-​they will. Stop searching, go find this inglewood insider’s garage for whatever body stuff you need!

Jim is a gem! I needed a bumper repair on my VW and took my car to two body shops for estimates — one that shall remain anonymous and Bastoli Auto. The other shop quoted me over $ 900 and said it would take a week for the repair, a huge and costly inconvenience for my busy family. Jim said he could do the job for less than $ 350 and in a day or two. Much to my delight, he not only completed the job for LESS than what he quoted (who does that?!) but he also did it in two hours and on a Saturday! Take your car to Jim. Seriously, he’s the best.

Simply put, Jim Bastoli is the best. He just completed some work on a dent and scratches which were sustained on my vehicle. I just picked it up and my first reaction was «wow», you can’t even tell any work had been done. Looks good as new. I went to three other body shops to obtain estimates. If you want to pay as much as fifty percent more, be my guest. While the shop does not have a modern waiting room equipped with a television and attractive secretary, the quality workmanship which Bastoli’s is known for more than makes up for it. I would highly recommend this business to family and friends without any thought!

My car is my baby in automobile form, so I care about who works on it. I needed some minor work done and decided to bring her here.
Jim is a great guy. He explained the process, cost and time needed to complete the job. I felt very comfortable asking about other car stuff and just car talk in general. I couldn’t be happier with her finished look; she’s a beauty. He even tightened the screws on my license plate cover, which is something I’ve been meaning to do, but didn’t have the right sized screws. It’s attention to detail like this that make a big difference in customer care. I really look forward to doing more business with Bastoli’s in the future. Really good service and I’m very happy with the work they did.

This is my first time to write a review because I was so moved by what jim’s team. He did a lot for me this month, repairs my cooper super carefully, helps me check if there’s another problem abt my car, returns my rental car to rental company for me since I was so busy, and I had another car accident during this month, he even helps me to repair it for free!!! I never met such a nice and professional person, as a foreigner, I was touched by his attitude. Jimmy is the best, always!!!

Jim is the truth! I just left here and when I say customer service was great it was greeeaaatt and my car was taken care of very timely. I went to get an estimate on getting my bumper fixed on Saturday and on Monday (today) I’m in and out. His worker was very knowledgeable and knew exactly what to do to get my car fixed up. He put my bumper back in place and made sure it waa tightly secured. I will definitely be going back for a paint job on my car. Two tips… 1. Go here and speak to Jim 2. Be careful how u pull into parking spots cause it will mess up ur bumper. Lol

Wish I had known about Bastoli’s sooner. Just took my 6 month old Outback there to fix the dent and scratches I made on it backing out of my garage. Arrrrr… Read about Bastoli’s on Nextdoor and read the Unilocal reviews. Could not be happier with the results. My Outback is perfect once again. As I told the owner Jim… nice to know you are here but hope we don’t need to see you too often.

Just picked up my 2014 Audi. Jim fixed a dent/​painted, etc a bumper dent in the rear bumper. Jim is just the nicest guy ever and he did an outstanding job. My car looks as good as new. His price was very reasonable compared to the high end auto body shops I had estimates from. He promised the car back in 3 – 4 days and it was done in that amount of time. He is a small business man and takes great pride in his work and in his business. I can’t recommend him enough! It is a very convenient location as well. Don’t even think of going anywhere else! No, I am not his relative or friend but a very satisfied customer! (And I live in Playa Del Rey now not Long Beach as my name says.)

Jimmy is awesome! I took my car in because both of my brake lights were out and the issue wasn’t just replacing the bulb. I also needed my front bumper secured because someone went over the parking curb in my car and detached it slightly (wasn’t me). I was in and out of his shop in 20 minutes! Great service and conveniently located right off the 405 freeway!

After losing my driver side mirror to an unseen force (a pole) I brought the replacement to Jim. It needed to be painted before being replaced. He quoted me a price and said I can install it also, that was music to my ears. He is a completely honest guy. The price quoted was beyond great! I’m so glad I found Bastoli. I will continue to bring my cars to Jim if they ever need body work or paint.

They do an amazing job and were very great to work with!!! I would suggest bringing all of your business here.

There’s a reason why the majority of the reviews for Bastoli are 5 stars (seriously, scroll through them). Jim is one of the most honest auto industry professionals I’ve ever met. He spent way more time with me, explaining the true state of my newly purchased used car, than I could ever pay him for. He was always available on the phone and I when I needed to come in person, I could arrange a time in about a day or so. This guy has some seriously grand, sparkling karma! Also, it’s a family established business so that’s a little gleam of goodness on top of everything else!

Have taken my car multiple times, have recommended multiple friends and the end result, happy clients!
Jim takes pride of his work… Correction, immaculate work!
His shop if always busy, why? Because people appreciate the attention to detail and Jim does not give in to cheap work from insurance. He demands the insurance to pay to get the car fix right!
I will always take my car to him.

Jim is great! I had heard about his work from my friends who have had work on their cars done by him so I was reassured about his work. I needed to replace the rear bumper on my Honda Fit after being rear ended. Several places quoted me $ 800 – 950, and I was not on board with that! Jim was great, gave me a much lower quote and he said the guy who rear ended me was welcome to call him if they had any questions.
Had my bumper replaced in a day! Dropped my car off in the morning before work, Jim had the part and paint ordered, so he painted and reattached in a day. My car was done by 2:30pm, yay! So nice to not have to get a loaner car or figure out transportation for a few days.
I’m very happy with Bastoli — Jim is great, very friendly and will work with you if you don’t want to be carless for too long.

My brother had brought his car to Bastoli Auto Body & Paint in the past and had some top notch work done on his car. I bought some side view mirrors for my SUV and knew exactly where to take them to get painted.
I took my mirrors to Jim and he gave me a crazy low quote and return time. I got the mirrors back and the color matched perfectly with the rest of the car.
If you’re looking for an auto body shop, look no further than Bastoli. Can’t be the customer service and the work here is top notch.

Bastoli is by far the best place in town to get your car repairs done. I have been a loyal customer to Jim for over 10 years and have nothing but the best things to say about him and the work he has done on my cars.
Jim is honest and will help you save money. He explains all the costs and allows you to make the best decision for you.
In LA where so many people are just out to make a buck, Bastoli helps you. They do quality work while not making you feel like your getting ripped off!

I haven’t written a review in a long time, but my experience her warranted me to do so. I had a terrible experience at a body shop in south gate that left me scared and scarred for life… until I cam across Bastoli. On day one, Jim Bastoli was attentive, patient, honest, upfront, genuine, and caring on several levels. Jim personally went out of his way to put my mind at ease after going through what I went to. The last body shop really did a number on me but im so happy I came across this body shop!
Oh and the work? one word… FLAWLESS. Family Run, been in business for over 20 years. I can’t think Jim enough! If your looking for a body shop that will give you great prices, great care, and flawless jobs? GO HERE!

Speak to Jim the owner. He takes care of you & your ride! And you’ll drive away a happy customer because he doesn’t charge an arm & a leg! Took in my RRS for a color match & I couldn’t be happier.
Thanx Jim! :)

I will never, EVER take my car to a shop other than Bastoli in LA. I’ve been to a few others because of rear-​ends (twice), and the jobs were so-​so. I got hit on my driver-​side door in a parking lot, and so I took it to Bastoli since it was near my work and I had heard good things about them.
Dropping off the car was nice. They explained every thing they do, from their painting process to parts replacement. When he walked up to my car he immediately noticed that my rear bumper and right side rear had been re-​painted by a body shop, and that it was poor quality. The biggest thing I liked was he told me they would get the paint back to OEM quality — orange peel effect!
I got the car back and it was immaculate. It took them a while longer to get done because they opted to just buy a new door instead of repair the old one (which I preferred, and they convinced insurance to do so). When I saw the car my jaw dropped. The entire side they had worked on looked flawless. The paint looked amazing. It had the orange peel texture you get from a brand new car, glossy, clean and no overspray. I secretly wished my car had gotten more banged up in the accident so that they could have repainted more of it!
I am referring all of my friends to go here and I would not hesitate for even a second to come back!
