Sidle’s Automotive

I highly recommend sidles! They’re very fast and professional and aren’t at all like many other auto shops where you feel like they’re just trying to take as much money from you as you let them. Ask for Jim if you can — he’s awesome and took great car of me. Thanks Jim!

This is THE place to take a car you care about for body work. Eric and Dimitri are absolute professionals and will work with you on every facet of the engagement, including the repair approach and cost efficacy of the job. My car was delivered in mint condition at a far lower price than I expected; I couldn’t be more satisfied.

What excellent service and workmanship. After an accident it can be harrowing to then have to deal with repairs– Jim was beyond helpful in properly sorting out my car. Was like leaving the situation in the care of a trusted friend. It now looks perfectly new thanks to the masterful hands there and I couldn’t be more pleased! Thank you!

When I say this body shop is top notch, that is clearly an understatement ! Their office is beautiful, and all of their workers are surprisingly nice ! The owner is very generous and is easy to talk to rather than most owners who just want you in and out and don’t even care to ask for your name. I came to get my bumper repainted due to low quality work from another body shop and I dropped my car off on Monday afternoon and was able to pick it up on Wednesday ! The results looked like the paint came oem spec! If you are looking for honest work and quality come here! Thank you Tristan and Mr Ayoubi!

Quick, communicative, professional, honest and straightforward. Best of all, great work, made my car like new :) They even talked me OUT of some extra work that wouldn’t be covered by insurance and was likely to happen several more times during my lease given the current body style of the car. I can’t recommend this great group of folks enough.

This body shop is a joke. My car sat there for nearly two weeks without it being touched. ZERO COMMUNICATION was made with me. I called after the first week of my car being in their shop to check on the status. «Oh, we havent started working on it yet, your insurance never called us.» Then WHY wouldn’t you call and tell me that, or call them!!! Then when I confronted them, whoever I spoke with was extremely rude to me on the phone and said it’s not their fault, that its costing them money for my car to sit there… and that I should be paying them a storage fee. This makes no sense. IT IS YOUR FAULT, NOT MINE. If it’s costing you money they WHY wouldn’t you make any communication with me or the insurance company.
Get this… a week later I call to check on the status again. SAME EFFING THING HAPPENED AGAIN. They said they had not spoken with my insurance and still had not started working on the car. I called my insurance, my insurance said they had been trying to contact them all week. LEARN COMMUNICATION SKILLS SIDLES. Needless to say, I am getting my car towed to a different body shop to have the job finished. Two weeks without a car thanks to these guys. Do NOT come here.

Top of the line auto body shop! Unfortunately I had a fender bender and had to have my car repaired. AAA recommended this place due to proximity to my residence, ease of doing business with them and feedback from other insured clients. This place is awesome. They made me feel comfortable leaving my Honda in their hands, updated me via txt and email almost daily and did fantastic work. I would highly recommend using Sidles for your auto body needs!
Oh and see Dimitri. He’s the man!

I unfortunately have had many opportunities to be in body shops and this by far is top of the line. Dima Lankin took such good care of me, I felt like I was in the hands of a capable surgeon. What was cool was that I dropped the car off before a weeks vacation and it was ready right when I returned, exactly as promised. The car looks brand new, and it was cleaned inside and out. The customer service is really great, the staff is friendly and I would recommend this body shop to anyone!!! Oh did I mention the car looks amazing! Thank you thank you thank you!!!

So this is my first review ever on anything on the internet. It’s never been a priority of mine to write a review on Unilocal,but I feel compelled to let other people know that they are in excellent hands when choosing Sidle’s for any repair work.
I was rear-​ended on July 4^th and my Mustang had bumper damage and the right muffler was dragging on the ground. I was mortified from the moment I was hit and then found out that the person who rear-​ended me didn’t have valid insurance.
Well, that’s really where my worries ended because the moment I called Geico to the moment I picked up my car at Sidle’s, everyone I spoke to made me feel like I was personally being taken care of and that my car was a top priority for them.
Jim at Sidle’s was wonderful. He called me to give me an estimate of the damages and a time frame of when my car would be ready. He answered any questions or concerns I had and made me feel really confident that my ‘baby’ was in good hands. Jim was also at the shop when I picked up my car and went over in detail everything that had been replaced and fixed on my car. The car is immaculate! You would never know anything happened.
I am so thankful I have Geico and that they recommended I bring my car to Sidle’s because I couldn’t be any happier with the results. These guys are true professionals.

I had my Subaru Forester repaired here and couldn’t be happier. The work itself was top-​notch and was completed on a timely basis. But the thing that truly made my experience here a positive one was the friendliness of the staff. The facilities are also clean and up-​to-​date, which provided me with some extra peace of mind. My car was also completed sooner than expected and the paint looks beautiful! A special thanks to Eric and Paul for taking care of my car!

I took my brand-​new Mazda CX-​5 in after backing it into a fence and scraping up the back end. I asked Dmitri what it would cost to fix it, out-​of-​pocket, to make it like new. He said that it would be expensive, but that if I had 20 minutes right then he could, free-​of-​charge, buff it out as much as possible and use some touch-​up paint. He ended with the promise that my expectations would probably be exceeded. I decided to go that route (since the bumper is bound to get messed up anyway). I couldn’t stay then and will go back in a couple of hours. I was just so elated with his offer and honestly couldn’t believe it that I had to write this partial review as soon as possible! I will let you know how satisfied I am with his job in a few…
I’m back and couldn’t be happier with the job that Sidles did. On first glance, you can’t even tell that there is any damage! Mind you, they did this for free, so you can tell, when you look closely that there is some touch-​up paint and a few nicks on the car, but overall it looks great! Thanks Dmitri – I’m actually quite accident prone and have brought my cars to you for years, so you’ll probably be seeing me again.

ive never felt compelled to write a review on Unilocal,so this is my first and there’s a reason for it. The way Demitri and his crew handled Geico and my car was seriously incredible. First let me say that the entire front end of this car was completely gone. New hood, front end, lights, quarter panels and other things were replaced on this car. The wheel was damaged too. Everything was replaced with brand new oem OEM parts.
Im ocd when it comes to detail and i was shocked that there wasnt a single thing to complain about. All i could do was simply be blown away that i some how got my car back it what seems in better condition than what it was before the accident. Took the car and did some canyon runs and everything behaves as it should. insanely happy.
I agree with the Unilocal reviewers that this body shop really does take care of you as if you were a very close friend, maybe even family.
One important fact that i must mention, is that the adjuster from Geico failed to inform me that he suggest that Sidles put in after market or used parts into my car even though i specifically said i wouldnt allow that and if anything to let me know that thats what was going to be done.
Demitri informed me that he wouldnt do such a thing, especially to something such as an S5. They took the hit and bought everything for me OEM. (it was $ 14,000 in damages). I seriously cant recommend these guys enough. I even left valuables in the car… was all still there. :D

Jim and his staff did a top notch job repairing my «new» prius that got smashed up all up in its front end. A pleasure to deal with, reasonable work time, friendly staff and the car looks like new again, inside and out. No hassles, no BS. Highly recommend.

Terrific service! Took my Honda Element after a stolen catalytic converter. Jim took care of everything and kept me updated daily! Quick, easy, professional and great work!

My 2000 Toyota Camry was hit, and I needed about 5,000 dollars worth of repairs. My insurance sent me to Sidle’s. Before going through insurance, I had checked out a few repair shops and was really upset to hear they all wanted to total my car. I know my car isn’t worth a ton, but it’ll keep running for the next ten years! At Sidle’s, they heard me and did everything in their power to repair without totaling. My car looks better than it has ever looked and the entire experience was wonderful. I would highly recommend.

To start off, my vehicle was in the parking lot of my salon, parked, then hit by a disgruntled lady. My assistant tried to take care of it however the difficult woman did not want to give my agitated assistant her information; make matters worse, I had to leave a very important offsite meeting to attend to this crazed woman. At this point my patience was running low!!! Anyway, she had AAA and because of my hectic schedule I pulled this repair shop off of Unilocal being that it was closer to me than most of the other higher rating repair shops. Called, a lazy girl picks up, sounded like she was more enthused with her Instagram than she was talking to me regarding my concerns and repairs. She makes an appointment for me, I show up in a clean lobby to be greeted by that girl who picked up the phone. I sat in their waiting area where it was clean and had a self serve coffee machine where I watched that girl play on her phone while answering calls (I was right about my assumption). The girl half assed everything and I was a bit apprehensive at first until Candice popped out from the back to take over. With more confidence, I was more at ease to leave the vehicle behind. They dropped my assistant and me off to a nearby enterprise to pick up my rental for the duration of my repairs. Because the vehicle is in my name, I’m the only one able to sign off on certain release documents, my assistant couldn’t; great for security horrible for hectic schedules. I come to pick up my vehicle, I find additional damages on my vehicle and I was appalled!!! I was blamed for the damages that I certainly didn’t do, and because that girl didn’t do an initial inspection report where I had to sign off, the owner Eric had only the pictures to refer to. I asked for the initial inspection report and sure enough, I did not sign off on anything! To make matters worse, I had to get into another rental for an additional week to get the new damages fixed. Needless to say, Eric handled business the way a real owner should and took full responsibility for the lack of attention the girl at the front on Instagram had. I come back in the next day with my assistant, where Dimitri (fresh from surgery recovery) took complete care of EVERYTHING! Turns out that girl had neglected clients in the past and that I was the last complaint straw. Not only did the guys at sidles repair everything from the parking lot accident, as a gesture of their apologies, they pretty much gave my car back to me good as new. Repairing door dings, scuffs, scrapes, window seals, etc. Although this is the car I gave to my assistant, I’m happy he has a pretty «new» car. Despite my crazy schedule and this taking a gigantic chunk out of my time, I’ve made some new friends here. There are always hurdles in life but these guys literally showed no sign of any slowing down. I would highly recommend this place, the owner Eric is absolutely phenomenal and Dimitri second to none (both hot too). The place is great, clean, and comfortable; Candice is professional and pretty, I couldn’t go anywhere else. These guys are pretty damn fantastic. I don’t know if I mentioned, the Instagram girl no longer works there, so any of you guys wondering, you won’t have that problem. Good job guys!!! HATS OFF TO YOUR SERVICE!!! CAN NOT THANK YOU ENOUGH. So pleased I’d like to invite the partners of Eric and Dimitri to visit my salon to receive anything complimentary of their choice!!! Well to Eric as well as Dimitri too, but Dimitri buzzes his hair off. :-) thank you soooooooo much!!! 10 stars all the way!!!

Was pressured by AAA to tow my car here because it is a AAA certified auto shop, when I actually had another highly-​rated-​on-​Yelp shop in mind that was closer to my home.
This place has an upscale vibe and knowledgeable, attentive staff. It’s on the pricier end and there were some miscommunications regarding fees, specifically storage fees. In the end, they did grant 2 free days of storage to help me make up my mind on what to do with my vehicle, which was a definite plus.
But overall, considering Sidle’s Automotive’s assertive advice and the feeling of complete inferiority I left with, I would not recommend this location, and would suggest you find an auto shop that feels more like a smaller family-​owned business driven more by customer satisfaction than profit.

Not only will you receive top notch services with your vehicle but you will understand that you are part of a family, after I brought my Truck in, Eric was an all around cool guy even making free Adjustment suggestions just because he wanted to know I’d be safe on the road!
Dimitry is the man. Went out of his way to get the best prices available!
Sidles will always be the powerhouse auto body shop in California, I guarantee you will walk away in awe.

I would HIGHLY recommend this shop to anyone! Especially BMW owners.
I’m a proud owner of a BMW Z4. My car got towed and the towing company damaged my front bumper, rock guard, lower grill and my clear bra.
I brought my car into Sidel’s. As you walk in you are welcomed by the nicest receptionist. After checking me in, Jim walked out to my car and checked out the damage. He immediately outlined what he thinks would be the best course of action. While I was with Jim the receptionist called the rental company to come pick me up, so I don’t have to wait any longer then needed.
Jim informed me that it will take about a week (depending on how fast parts will come in) to finish up the job. A week it was.
My front bumper has never looked this good! They made sure to align the bumper and the lights! Paint matched perfectly! Shiner then ever! For those who have had bumper work before, aligning it properly is hard, and they did an amazing job!

I unfortunately came across Sidle’s through my insurance company Geico when I got into a MVA last week Tuesday. However it was a blessing in disguise!
As the tow truck dropped me off I was pleasantly greeted by Eric, the manager at Sidle’s with a warm smile and friendly handshake. He was very welcoming along with his staff to reassure me that my car will be taken care of. In a matter of minutes I didn’t even have to worry about calling enterprise rental car to arrange for pick up because they were pretty much there right after I got there to help assist me with a car while mine was in the shop.
Geico adjuster was also on sight and worked along with Sidle’s. He was informative and reassuring as well that everything would be taken care of.
My car was taken in to Sidle’s on Tuesday in matter of a few hours after my accident and I got a call Friday morning from the adjuster that it was ready! Boy can I say, my car looked better now than it did when I bought it! They did an amazing job! I couldn’t have asked for a better team and so grateful to my insurance company for having such a great partnership! They definitely took care of me!
