El Camino Collision

I brought my truck here when it was vandalized and Robert and his dad Ramon took care of me and did a hell of a job! They painted my whole truck and made it look like it just came from the factory.
Then I brought my wife’s car when the front of her car got hit, again they did an awesome job!
If you want top notch work and honest people who actually care about you and you’re car, come here they will take good care of you !!!

Amazing, amazing, amazing service. I feel like I can’t say this enough.
I came in this morning after sticking a big dent in my bumper, and they fixed it in 10 minutes and insisted on not charging me a thing.
I’ll be coming by in the afternoon on my lunch break to drop them some cash either way. It’s not a huge establishment, but they are earnest, hard working people. I cannot stress enough how important it is to support small businesses like these as well.
If I could give more than 5 stars I could! Thank you guys!

Great place!
They repaired multiple dents on my Toyota Camry, including a really tricky repair to the trunk and the work was absolutely flawless, including a perfect match on the paint color and trim. They also finished a day –before– their estimated date. For marks out of 10:
Quality: 10
Service: 10
Value: 10
Really, I would like to award more than ¹⁰⁄₁₀ for value and service. They not only dropped me off and picked me up from a car rental place, they also polished my front headlights for free! These were getting very dull from minor scratches and did not illuminate the road or focus that well, now they look like new.
If you are looking for a big, showy operation, this place is not for you — the shop is not very large, and I guess they keep their overhead low because the price was also excellent. But if you are looking for great work at a great price, you cannot do better.

10 STAR PLACE!!!
I am not very good at writing reviews because I don’t feel like anything I put into words will come across as how grateful I really am for these guys! They actually bailed me out a few months ago by giving me the cheapest price possible to paint the hood of my car. They did it fast and cheap and it looks AMAZING!!! I got busy with life and never got around to writing a review, but now its better late than never!
Now I found myself a few months later, yet again with another issue. I scratched my car bad and got a dent into the side so that i couldn’t even open my door. Not only did they fix most of the issues for me in 15 min, but they did it all for FREE! I still have a few thing that I need to be done, but now it is usable and the dent is hardly noticeable!
Very friendly and honest family owned business that I would recommend to anyone!!!

This place is the best. They tried to charge me nothing for a quick on-​time-​road repair. They are competent, fast and honest! Highly recommended!

I just picked up my truck (2003 GMC Envoy) from El Camino Collision in Redwood City and am compelled to Unilocal immediately. Why?
* Quality
* Service
* Price
Isn’t that what we all want from service providers? Let me explain my fave rave:
* The Situation:
My truck was t-​boned in a Costco parking lot and suffered extensive damage on the passenger side front quarter panel, front door, and rear door. For a 5 MPH collision, it could not have been much worse, given all the affected parts that needed replacement and painting. Even worse, the driver who hit me was a Hong Kong national in the country on vacation; she was in an Avis rental and did not purchase liability insurance on the rental contract and had no car insurance at home (who in their right mind owns a car in Hong Kong anyway?). So my insurance company would only pay the customary limit for Uninsured Motorist collision and the delta between the insurance estimate and what I received was significantly to the bad.
Given my truck is a 2003, I did not need the repair to be perfect, but even after shopping around the best price still had me well into the red. That is, until I Unilocaled El Camino Collision and saw all the glowing reviews. Even though none of the reviews exactly matched my situation, I took my truck in for an estimate and was courteously greeted by James Moreno and his father, Ramon. They discussed how they could get used parts to effect repairs and gave me an estimate that made my eyes pop out of my head. Again, this was knowing in my mind that the repair did not need to be 100% perfect, but certainly not the gash all down the right side of my truck. So I went into the repair with proper expectations.
* The Job
A week after the estimate, I dropped my truck off at El Camino Collision. I had told them in advance that I was going to be out of the country for 2 ½ weeks and they could take their time to finish the repairs. Ramon noticed that I had a nasty ding on my front right quarter panel and bumper from an earlier «accident» (those that board or ski know what I’m talking about, driving in the snow) and a minor scrape in the paint above my right rear wheel well (again, an old ding) and he said he’d try and fix them both for the same price. I nodded my head and said, «Sure, if you can.»
* The Result
This afternoon, my GF dropped my off at El Camino Collision and they were WASHING, WAXING, and Armor-​Alling the inside of my truck, with many apologies that I had to wait 15 minutes to get the account settled and drive away. When I looked at the right side of my truck, the work was fantastic! Not only had they expertly fixed the damage from the t-​bone, but both older dings on the right side were fixed as well.
Now, they did not replace the rocker panels at the bottom of the passenger-​side doors — and if you look really really closely you can see they are a tiny bit scratched up from the t-​bone — but what I wanted was a credible repair, not a perfect repair. What I ended up getting was as near to perfect as I ever imagined. Given that they also fixed two older dings for the original estimate — both of which were far more noticeable than the very minor damage to the rocker panels — I am one very, very pleased puppy.
Even if price had not been a major consideration in my decision to have El Camino Collision do the work on my truck, I was absolutely delighted by their service, attentiveness, and pride of craftsmanship. As I was giving my heart-​felt thanks, Ramon said to me, «This is what we do: the highest quality for the best price.»
Agreed.

First rate auto body work! Great People!
I had a couple of scrapes, dings, dents and gouges in the rear bumper of a two year old Honda Fit. The car had very low mileage and was in perfect condition. I went to terminate the lease with the Honda dealer, who told me they would deduct $ 1,200 for the damage. I went to Ramon and his son at El Camino. They told me they could repair the damage for $ 400. and do it in less then two days. They did an absolutely perfect job. Upon returning the car to Honda, they deducted nothing, not a penny.
I highly recommend doing business with El Camino, they are honest, very professional and a pleasure to deal with. I am quite confident you will be very pleased with the result.
Bill from Palo Alto

I’ve got an unusual project, the back case of a coffee machine that had dents and creases until I found Ramon Moreno and his son, James, at El Camino Collision. I restore vintage espresso machines but just don’t have the experience to skillfully do metal straightening. I needed someone with old school skills to actually straighten the metal without using Bondo and then sanding that, because I’m going to have my workpiece powder coated, which involves baking it in an oven to cure it and filler just won’t hold up.
Ramon had mercy on me and offered to do this as a favor. He and James won my loyalty on the spot and their friendliness made my day. When I picked up the case I was delighted to find all the creases, dents and wrinkles completely gone. When I asked James showed me his tools, which include the hammers for knocking out dings and steel forms he braces against the back of the metal in a shape to fit every flat area or curve. These are the guys I’ll go to if I ever need auto body work. You can’t beat old school craftsmanship and an enjoyment of making customers happy.

This place is great. I got an estimate in Palo Alto; then went to El Camino Collission and found that the estimate was half as much, and my car looks as good as new. This place definitely does excellent work at very reasonable prices.

Just stopped in here on the way to work because my bumper was loose (driveway has a huge dip and it scrapes every time). I talked with Ramon and he said, «no problem, I can do that for free» and right on the spot put some new plastic rivets in. I tried to pay him, but he refused, and said I could come in anytime if it comes loose again.
Nice, free, and well-​done. I hope I never have to come back, but if I do, this is where I’ll come!

ive been a long time user of Unilocal,but this is my first review. The only reason why i have written this review is because of the service that El Camino Auto Body has provided when i brought in my car for repairs. At first i did not know what do, spoke to my friends to where i can send my car for repairs, and he recommended this auto body in redwood city. When i arrived i had little wait time since the owner of the company. Ramon Moreno. and his son, James Moreno, where waiting for me as soon as i exited my car. When i spoke to James i told him what happened and what i wanted to have repaired. As he was writting the estimate for the damages he was telling me that many other body shops would just replace the damaged bumper, but he explained to me that for such minor damage it is not needed. At the end i was quoted for a low price for something i was going to pay an arm and a leg for. I also ask the turn around time for the repairs. He told for such minor damage, he said if i left it that morning, ill have it ready for the following day in the afternoon, and i did. El Camino Auto Body deserves this great review and i hope they get more business because of it.

I love when I receive good service!
I came across this auto body shop after putting a dent in my BMW. I googled a repair service next to me and came up with El Camino Collision Experts, Inc. I’m so glad I did! These guys are excellent with customer service and went above and beyond to make sure I was fully satisfied. I walked away with an immediate smile on my face and a promise that I would be a customer for life (still hoping that I will be more careful with high curbs of course).
I would 100% go back to them for any other auto body needs, and would recommend them to any friend or family member! Stop by or call for a free estimate.

They repaired and repainted the right rear door and quarter panel on our 2006 GMC Sierra Crew-​Cab.
Very good job, quickly done, and delivered on time. The price (for cash) was much better than other estimates I received.

Not detail oriented, but they’ll make it right.
They replaced a door on my car but got a couple of details wrong: a couple of parts were forgotten and the remote mirror control was reinstalled upside down. But, and this is why they get a good review: MONTHS later, they were willing to fix it, even after the car had been sold. I’d prefer to have the work done right the first time, but the complete willingness to fix the mistakes makes it all okay.
I’d go back to them.

These guys are great. Having heard so much about tardy body shop mechanics, I asked them specifically when the car will be done, they told me Wednesday. I asked what’s the LATEST date it’ll be done, answer is Thursday. Sure enough they called 2pm Wedesday afternoon to pick up my car. They did a great job on the car, and the car’s interior and exterior are both cleaned before it left the shop. They even pulled a small dent on the front bumper for free (upon my request). I’d definitely deal with them again.

I had a wonderful experience with El Camino Body Shop. A few weeks ago I was rear ended, so I had to take my Honda Civic in for repairs. I was referred to El Camino Body Shop and they were friendly and prompt. I dropped my red head off last Monday, and by Friday the bumper was repaired and they even touched up the paint job on other parts of the car. I have no idea how much it cost (the other party’s insurance paid), but I’m glad I chose El Camino. They did a nice job.
Today, I went back to pick up my car and the woman who checked me out was so friendly and sweet. She carried on a 15 minute conversation with me about San Francisco, Boston, etc. By the time we were finished, they shop guys had washed and dried my car. I love this shop, I would definitely return!
