Manuel’s Body Shop

First of all Giovanni and the staff are very nice. They also do quality work for a reasonable price and they do it fast.

Great service, fast and quality service. My car came out like new. Wouldn’t go anywhere else. Highly recommend it.

I have been going to Manuel’s for 20 years, we use to drive old Mercedes and now we drive new BMW. Freddy is also professional and kind!!! They are best, and the only place I will take my cars. Cookie A

My dad brought his car in to get his side mirror fixed and a few touchups. Freddy and his team did an awesome job. The car looks great. Both my dad and I were so pleased with the job. They really take good care of details. Highly recommend Manuel’s Body Shop!

super cool guys. fixed up my bumper and buffed my car. came out looking 10x better than when it went in. defintitely went over and above to make sure i was happy, wouls definitely recommend!

I have been using Manuels for 20 years. Great prices, great work, nice people. Repairs might take a little longer than they tell you, but overall a great value !

Came in to get my bumper fixed. Freddy quickly provided an estimate for a fix and replacement. They got it done very quickly at a fair price in comparison to the rest of the market. The bumper looks brand new even though it was not replaced.
Great job!

I currently live in Northern California but when my 2014 Toyota Tacoma was smashed in an accident I knew I had to come here. I’ve taken my Honda Civic here before, have had family come here for years and being new to Norcal I wanted to go somewhere I knew would do justice to my truck. I had the truck towed almost 400miles just so I can get the job done here. With the help of Freddy and the staff there my truck looks beautiful. They even detailed the inside (I work with dogs so it was no easy task)! I use my truck for work and was devastated when the accident happened but I knew it was in good hands at Manual’s body shop. I plan on continuing to bring my vehicles here in the future. Honest, good prices and fantastic work! You just can’t go wrong

I just picked my car up from Manuel’s and could not be happier. They did a fantastic job with my giant dented bumper and buffed out other scratched areas as well. They also fixed my cup holders — I had dropped an item in the poorly designed area and could not use the holders as the door was stuck. Toyota told me that it happens all the time and then wanted to charge me $ 275.00 to fix it. I even went to YouTube and sure enough there were instructions to fix the door but I didn’t have the tools (or ability, I admit it) to do it myself.
The price for all of this was extremely reasonable and I would take my car there again, although I hope I won’t need to!

**UPDATE TO PREVIOUS REVIEW:
I called this body shop on Monday, 04÷20÷15, and spoke with Freddy. He told me to bring my car in immediately to have it observed. Upon arrival, he inspected the two gashes, took photos, and he forwarded them to the place where my car’s tints were done.
Apparently, «Manuel’s» utilizes a different business to do their tint jobs. According to Freddy today (Tuesday, 04÷21÷15), the tint business didn’t know where the gashes came from, but when he asked them where their photos of our car were (they take pictures of cars they work on in order to show no damage was done by them), they just happened to «not» have taken pictures of our particular car the day that they worked on it. Hmmm.
Anyways, due to these circumstances, Freddy offered to fix the gashes on the inside of our car door for free and he already ordered the part pre-​emptively (free as well). This kind of customer service is commendable, deeply appreciated, and worthy of this updated review.
My husband and I would have liked to have been notified about the gashes in the first place, however, before we left with our car from the shop, which is the cause for the one missing star. Doing so would saved a lot of time and frustration. The customer service we have been shown, though, is wonderful.

I had the unfortunate pleasure of having to have my car repaired at Manuel’s not once, but TWICE! They gave me the tranquility I needed since the moment I walked in. I knew my Car would be in good hands while it was getting worked on. Let’s just hope I don’t have to stop by again unless its for a Detail!

I don’t often leave reviews but the service I got here was exceptional. Miguel was easy to reach, followed up when he said he would, worked tirelessly with a difficult insurance adjuster (not mine; the dingus who rear-​ended me), and even fixed an unrelated scrape on my car without charging for it. The car was ready when it was supposed to be, in perfect condition, and had been cleaned to the nines. I hope I never have another auto body issue, but if I do, Manuel’s will be my first stop.

These guys are the best. Friendly, fast and amazingly talented. Ask for Freddy. He really helped me out! Thanks Guys!!!

Manuels Body Shop has been consistent at the right cost for many years. Want your car fixed and not be charged excessive $? Come here. Freddy and his team will give you a great service for the right price. Ive been coming here since 2005 and its the real deal — id recommend this place to everyone.
From minor cosmetic repairs to body kit installs, they can do it all for a fair price. And they’re quick and good (note they’re good for the price — there are other shops that have better quality worksman ship with fiberglass).
For example, a body shop 3 miles away gave me a quote for $ 550 for a 10 inch key mark, Freddy and his team gave me a quote of $ 300 right off the bat. The problem was fixed, like it never happened, and three days earlier than the other place!

Amazing work, black Mustang (so every slight flaw shows – and I am a perfectionist) the results are awesome! My 2^nd repair with Freddy at Manuel’s Body shop in Culver City
and my car looks brand new!
His receptionist Marlen is very professional and very helpful.
Keep up the good work!

Freddy and staff are very hard working and caring people. We have 3 teenager drivers as well as our grandma, that made us a frequent customer. Last year we were in the shop over 7 times. They always took care of us in an economic and honest way.
When I had a problem, I came back until it was taken care of.
I know there were some bad reviews on Unilocal,but I disagree. The shop runs like an old-​fashion family business when they care about you and your return business. They have it with me.

Freddy and his team at Manuel’s Body Shop are the BEST!
I actually like my Mercedes G-​Class better after they repaired it from an accident, than before it was damaged!
Keep up the GREAT work!

I’m exceedingly pleased with every aspect of my experience here.
Brought in my ’07 crv to repair some key scratches. Freddie handled everything perfectly. He and his crew met with my insurance adjuster on my behalf. Began the work that day. Completed the job a day early. My car looks beautiful!
Every time I called the phone was answered right away.
Each person I interacted with did exactly what they said they would do and then some… There isn’t a single thing I found that could be improved upon.
Ten stars.

This place trashed my car.
I paid $ 200 to have a part of the front bumper repainted. They did that, but the hood of the car came back like someone had vandalized it. There were rings etched into the clear coat like they had been putting beer bottles on it. Most of the hood was a faded color compared to the rest of the car like they dumped some paint thinner on it. There were (presumably) their employees finger prints literally etched into the clear coat. About 25% of the hood felt like sandpaper due to overspray.
A complete nightmare and sign of a shop that takes absolutely no pride in their work.
Stay away from this place at all cost.

I came here on the recommendation of a family member who said this was the best place to go in the westside. Wish I hadn’t listened to him because I regret bringing my car here.
The manager here is really friendly so I give them credit on their great customer service but they just don’t do exceptional work. They have way too many cars to fix that the workers just aren’t very precise. I need to take my car back to correct three spots they either fixed shabbily or hastily.
The repair was estimated to take two weeks complete, but it ended up being one day short of three weeks. I didn’t mind the extra week because I had a rental car for 30 days and I could tell by the number of cars in the lot that 20 days was reasonable so imagine my disappointment when I could see all the imperfections without even looking too carefully.
