Sunny Auto Body

Excellent work and customer service! Could not recommend them more. Our car was hit while parked and had a dent and scratch. They gave a very reasonable estimate and did a wonderful job in much less time than expected. Very sincere and honest shop.

They are extremely professional, courteous, and their work is great. They checked in with me 2 months after the work was done to see about the car and offered me a free car wash. I’d recommend them, very happy with them.

Somebody with no regard or respect for the property of others opened their car door and dented the side of my car. I called my insurance company and brought the car to a few auto body repair shops. One shop I brought my car to was Sunny Auto Body on Potrero.
I drove in and nobody came out to look at the car. I saw employees working on cars but no office manager was anywhere in sight. I noticed a guy in an office working at his desk on his computer. I opened the door and asked him if I could get an estimate. He wouldn’t even look up from his monitor. This guy asked me what was my insurance company and if I filed a claim. I told him I was insured with State Farm and that I did file a claim. He told me to just leave the car when you’re ready and the car will be repaired. I asked him if he didn’t want to look at the damage and give me an estimate. He replied that he didn’t have to look at the car or the damage. I told him to just take a look and he got up, followed me outside, and looked at the dent. He quoted me $ 500. I asked him if I just had to leave the car there and everything will be handled by them. He said that is all I have to do.
I thanked him and left knowing I would never do business with this shop. The office manager couldn’t be bothered to even get up from his chair and greet a prospective customer. If I was in business and had to deal with the public on a daily business, I would have greeted anyone who entered my establishment. I would not have sat in my office working on my computer.
My experience with Sunny Auto Body that day informed me never to bring my car there for repair.

I doubt anyone likes having to take their automobile in for body work, but when I have to do so, I want to go some place I can trust to do an excellent job. I made an appointment with Sunny for some work, and arrived at the specified time. They were immediately able to see me, and within 15 minutes had reviewed the car and provided me with a written estimate for the work to be completed. The car was ready when they said it would be, and the workmanship was excellent. Like it never happened. My car has difficult to match paint, and Sunny did a truly perfect job feathering it in.
The 5 star rating is well deserved.

UPDATE: So, I got the issue fixed a while back. They replaced the headlight brackets and fixed the gap with no problem. Danny was nice enough to fix it and sort things out with my insurance company but before they fixed it, I was missing a screw in my wheel fender liner which makes no sense. I don’t know how an auto body shop can forget to put a screw back in, but Danny said he’ll replace it. A little after I got my car back, I realized I was missing another screw on my wheel liner. It’s ridiculous how an auto body shop can forget to put two screws back into your car.

I’m sure their auto body services is great, but i emailed Sunny Auto Body a few times regarding getting a quote. I They suggest bringing it in, so i did. I wanted to touch up some paint and get rid of a scratch on my passenger side front ¾ panel. The scratch also went across a small corner of the bumper. I wanted to pay out of pocket and they quoted me $ 2,700!
Guess what i went to a place in Daly City called «D & J Auto Repair» in San Mateo, and they buffed out a deeper scratch and touched up the paint on my car for $ 50. They said buffing it out will fix most of it and there are 2 very small deeper scratches that they just touched up, and you can barely even see it. D& J also told me that if i wanted to paint the whole panels it would cost $ 1000, compared to Sunny, that’s a steal!
So all in all, i would not recommend coming here, if you are paying out of pocket, because the estimate i got, was just trying to sucker me in for more money.

Can’t even get an estimate for repairs.
As a State Farm Select Service Repair Facility, I would expect better service. Doing my good due diligence, I wanted to get estimates from three facilities.
This was the only one who refused to do the estimate.
I called State Farm. They said this is not a policy of State Farm and they should have done the estimate.
Nothing more to be said.

These guys are great! Professional, personable, reliable. I’ve used them (unfortunately) too many times over the years. The latest was last week when I realized my trunk was leaking. They quickly determined that the problem was the result of previous work they’d done, and arranged for a rental car and made the repairs absolutely free of charge. I recommend them HIGHLY!

Denny is amazing; our family has been going to Sunny auto body shop for about 1 years now. From minor fixes from fender benders, paint jobs and full on car salvages, we have been so relieved to have someone so trustworthy and dependable. Highly recommend this spot!

OUTSTANDING!
A one stop shop. Car was hit and run, dropped it off at Sunny Auto Body with Alex and picked up a rental on the spot. I reported the claim to Insurance. Because this shop is approved and contracted by many insurance companies they were able to start repairs right away without waiting for an adjuster. Sunny offers a lifetime warranty on their repairs but don’t think I will need it because the car looked great and things went smoothly. Thank you Alex and Denny (and of course Sunny) for all you do.

I’ve use funny body shop for years three different cars and I’m sorry it took so long to give them the review they deserve. This service is exceptional! They have always done a great job repairing the problems I have with my cars and their customer service is incredible. It’s sad but you just don’t see this kind of service anymore

Are all these good reviews real!!! Sounds too good to be true and it was =(I brought my car there based on the reviews. My impression are of an average shop with average workmanship and average customer service. Brought my car in for a hit and run accident. Called to check on availability and they said drop it off anytime. So I brought it in and they said I would need to comeback in a week because they were too busy… WTH! Ok… figure it must be a good shop because they’re super busy so I return 1 week later. Once they knew that it was going through my insurance they didn’t bother to go over what they were going to do or give me an estimate… guess they thought it was easy money!!! A few none returned called and a couple weeks later after a few delays the car was ready. The car was fixed and all repairs looked good. Upon closer examination found installation of original components were not complete. There was over spray on my rims that I needed a scrub brush to remove. Also a few clips on the original part was broken. Like they say… all looks good until you look under the hood.
BTW… nobody offered me water or did anything above and beyond. They called and asked what they can do because of my low review, but nothing, it’s too late, can’t change bad customer service experience as an after thought.

Customer Service is spot on!
A few days ago I was locked out of my car and for the first time ever i called my roadside service to let me in. They came out and got the door open but in doing so they bent it and it no longer closed properly.
Fast forward to today, I visited Sunny Auto Body for a repair estimate. I spoke with the owner who was very happy to fix my door. The best part of all is he did it for free in about 5mins! I told him my insurance company would be covering the bill, but he insisted that i not pay and just go on my happy way. Thank you Sunny Auto Body for the 5-​star service!

excellent, really nice staff, car was ready before expected date.
I was even able to pick up a rental car from there as i dropped off my smashed up car which made it a lot easier for me.
Ringo reminded me to get a temporary residential parking permit which saved me money bc i would have forgotten and DPT would have issued a ticket.
They called when the car was ready at a time i was really stressed and the woman who called was so patient and kind with me. so i am very grateful for their services.
i live in the neighborhood and they even dropped off my car!
life has been so hectic these days and am so grateful for their excellent service.
My fiat looks better than when purchased!
Highly recommend!

My car’s home away from home.
I got referred to Sunny’s by a friend who had been here. She told me how they repaired her car and made it look like new after the front had been completely totaled. My car was keyed by some random hater and I was putting off getting it fixed for about two months. I finally came here to get an estimate and I spoke to Alex. He suggested I report this to my insurance because the damage would cost more than I was willing to pay out of pocket/​my deductible. The key scratch went along two panels, so it would be a bit of work.
After going through insurance, I handed my car over for a few days. I dropped it off first thing Monday morning and got a call Thursday afternoon saying it was ready. While I was dropping it off, they offered to give me a ride to work while I was in the middle of calling my Über –this is such a nice gesture they offer at Sunny’s. I also rode an Über back there to pick up my car and they gave me a ride to and back from my house so I could get the cash difference I needed to pay for my car.
After I picked it up initially, I swore I saw a scratch on the front bumper that hadn’t been there before. I was horrified and I called, and they told me to bring the car back. After seeing Alex again, he told me it was just a stain from a dead bug and wiped it off with rubbing compound. I felt like an idiot and we both laughed about it and I drove off. A few days later, after checking out my new paint job where the scratch used to be, I noticed a little bump under the paint and was a little worried. I stopped by Sunny’s again and saw Alex again. He mentioned it was all good and usually he calls the customers back in 2 – 3 weeks after to polish their car and that would clear up any imperfections. He said to come back next week after the paint was completely dried and they could do a polish.
So today I came back for the polish, which took about an hour, but my car was fresh and clean! They even gave it a little car wash.
During the multiple times I met with Alex and talked to me about my car, I NEVER felt like he was ever rude or condescending like some body shops can make a customer feel. He was very funny, genuine, and understanding. Even when I felt like an annoyance coming in so many times, he insisted he didn’t mind at all. I cannot say enough good things about Alex and the guys at Sunny’s. This is an awesome family run place and I will be back if my car needs work and I would definitely refer Sunny’s to any friends of mine.

The is my #1 go to for body work, paint repairs and getting misc pieces for my cars. My first experience with them was stopping in to ask an opinion on a used vehicle I just bought from the dealership. Sunnys confirmed a few things were indeed replaced, and a few weeks later I was rear ended by someone going 45mph while I was at a dead stop. The people at Sunny were just as accommodating and professional as my first stop in. They repaired everything with quality parts and careful work. I have been back to them several times to ask questions and get estimates and I am always welcomed with the same professionalism and respect. Well done guys, you rock!

I was in desperate need of a new car repair place. Don’s completely f– me last time I was there. I went to Al’s on Mission first and the guy wanted to charge me $ 300 for a broken window. I checked Unilocal and Sunny’s had solid reviews. When I pulled into the garage someone came over and opened the car door for me. I was flabbergasted. I was immediately helped and I explained everything to the guy I wanted done. He even had some very thoughtful questions for me. Something the guy at Als didn’t even bother with. He printed everything out for me and took the time to explain each repair. I could tell he was sincere and actually cared. When I got my car back they went above and beyond my expectations. Oh, and they quoted me $ 200 less than what Al’s quoted. I can’t say enough good things about this place. I’m so happy I have found my forever car repair shop

A true story.
It was a beautiful Sunday. I had a lunch date w one of my oldest besties at The Rotunda. I parked my baby (a Miata MX-​5) where I always park in Union Square, at the Union Square Garage.
After our great lunch, my bestie & I stop by my car so I can grab & change into my flip flops.
What did we find? Someone had cut my baby’s ragtop!!!
And apparently someone decided to use my baby’s hood as a tabletop (and maybe a bench), leaving a whole slew of scratches on it. Nothing was stolen, but needless to say, this mama was NOT happy.
After careful consideration, I chose Sunny Auto Body to make my baby all better.
Alex, the owner at Sunny Auto Body, is personable & knowledgeable. He put me at ease, & seamlessly worked w my insurance company to take care of everything. They would order a new top & then install it, & repaint the hood. Since I was having this work done, I decided to just have them take care of the couple of small but deep scratches on her bumper too. Let’s just do it all, I thought.
Brand new ragtop, repainted hood & bumper. It took one week.
Know what? They matched her metallic silver paint perfectly! When I picked Baby up, she was gleaming like a wet seal in the sun. Sunny Auto Body restored my baby back to her usual glory.
My insurance covered all the work (w a deductible), except the few extra little fixes I requested, but Alex gave me a very fair price.
This true story had a happy ending.
But…
Forward about 6 months. I find Baby’s hood covered w scratches AGAIN. Some balordo (balordo means dumb-​ass in Italian) used my baby’s hood as a tabletop… AGAIN. Left her previously perfectly scratch-​free hood full of scratches. And not just the hood, but the trunk too.
Back to Sunny Auto Body I go.
Alex examines my baby & confirms that it wasn’t deliberate vandalism, but just someone remarkably careless putting a box or something on top of her…
Exactly…a BALORDO.
He says they’re almost all surface scratches, so they’ll buff them out & see what’s left. And they did it right then & there, all while we waited in the nice office on the comfy leather sofa, immersed in the lovely scent of the fresh, beautiful stargazer lilies in a vase, chatting about this season’s Giants’ roster w Alex the entire time.
Guess what? 98% of the scratches buffed out. There are just a couple deeper ones on the hood that will need stronger love (read: new paint), but essentially she looks like nothing happened.
The cost for the buffing job? Coulda been anywhere from $ 60 – 80 bucks. But Alex did it for FREE!?!
We love Sunny Auto Body.
A good shop w really good people.
5 stars.

I will keep Sunny bookmarked if I ever need real service. I had damaged the underneath portion of my front bumper and was curious if it could just be mended for the time being. I drove in with no appointment and the attentive service was unexpected and great!
I was walked through why I would need a partial replacement at least and that I would need to make an appointment. I had a great trial visit and to be honest these are the real reasons that I use Unilocal,so thank you for the reviews everyone and thanks for the hospitality Sunny. As Arnold says, I’ll be back someday sadly.

Excellent customer service and high quality work.
Someone rolled back hard into my parked car on a hill and left a note for me to find. It was bad enough that they would have a guilty conscious not to leave a note — it was not just a harmless ding. Their insurance covered it and offered their choice of auto body shops, however, Unilocal reviews were all 3 stars or under. I called two mechanics (one, by reference, and the other, the highest-​rated on Unilocal) and they both recommended Sunny.
My car is back two days early and looking fantastic! They assured me that if anything went wrong to just call them whether or not it had anything to do with the accident and they would «take care of it,» considering what it was.
One MAJOR BONUS, is that I also asked for a quote on how much it would cost to fix the scratches and dings on my rear bumper (nothing to do with the accident) separate from the claim, and they said it would be free (on them). WOW. This doesn’t happen ever. It must be a sign that they love what they do.
Support those with a passion for their work!
