Provided by DexKnowsThis place is the best! It's like a small 'mom and pop' type shop, but they are just as professional as the big corporate places. I would much rather give my money to a small, local place like this than a big corporate conglomerate. CAAB is very accommodating, and they stand behind their work.I've brought three different cars there, and would highly recommend them to anyone.

Provided by DexKnowsI've went to Central Avenue Autobody for various repairs over the past 10 years. The worst was a deer hit on my old truck. The truck looked flawless when I picked it up. The best part came later when I had it serviced at a trusted local mechanic who saw the truck before the repairs. The mechanic asked who did the work, then added that 'they did everything correctly-- no shortcuts, no corners cut, they did it right.'. When you hear the work vverified by a third party it was reassuring that I indeed went to the right place. Good work, good people, and I'll be back there again when needed

Provided by DexKnowsI had extensive damage to my front bumper and left corner panel. Central ave auto body was suggested to me from a co worker. I took my car in on a Tuesday I received a FREE loaner car the work was done by Thursday. Ray the owner was fantastic! He found me used parts that were in great shape at a reasonable price. They matched the paint perfectly my car looked as good as new. I highly recommend them fast,friendly and fair.

Provided by DexKnowsAfter I got home from work I decided not to freak out that I had run into a concrete pole backing out of my parking space in the ramp. I knew the first thing I was going to do after I got a couple hours of sleep was go to Central Ave. Autobody. I have had some minor work done there in the past with great results. I met with Ray who gave me an estimate. He told me it would take 3 days to do the work. Monday morning after work, I brought the car in. Yesterday (Wednesday) Ray called and said the car was finished. First of all the work was done quickly and as always looked great! I will always use their autobody services!

Provided by DexKnowsMy truck had front bumper damage and being an older vehicle not covered by insurance....I brought it to in and the people there were very understanding, polite, and kept me informed of what was needed to be done. I was very surprised by the cost, it was a lot less than expected... I am currently unemployed so I was grateful that the cost was reasonable. My truck looks really good now and I am so pleased with all the assistance.

Provided by DexKnowsQuality service that is fast, reliable, and friendly. I have gone to them several times for both big and small jobs and have left satisfied each time. They did a fantastic job on my back bumper, which was rear ended. Looks good as new. I really appreciated the free loaner car, too. I highly recommend this auto body shop!

Provided by DexKnowsI got into a rear end collision recently and Central Avenue Auto Body was recommended to me by my auto mechanic. They worked and coordinated with the insurance company and Enterprise rental car. I brought the car in on a Tuesday and got it back Friday. Despite my 97 Camryâs age, they found good parts, shipped them, and did the final installation and body work. Central Avenue Auto Body did a great job getting me and my car out of a frustrating situation. This is the body shop for you.

Provided by DexKnowsI recently had to get my trunk, bumper, and tail light replaced after being rear ended. My car is old enough that the insurance company wouldn't pay for the repair, just the salvage. I was going out of the country so as I left I told Central Ave to do whatever costs the least, and don't do any paint- just used parts. The guy who looked at it to take the car was very honest and upfront, telling me it wasn't going to be a couple hundred dollar job if that's what I was thinking. I came back to pick up the car and it was all done for me exactly how I asked- done for a price I was very happy with. I recommend this auto body shop for anyone- they won't rip you off and they listen to what you want.

Provided by DexKnowsCentral Ave. Auto Body did a fantastic job on repairing my vehicle to its pre-accident condition. They even have free loaner vehicles while yours is in their shop! The work done was A+ and the price was even a little less than they quoted! For a quick, quality repair, this is the place to go.

Provided by DexKnowsTook my suv in for repair to back door and panel. They noticed the passenger door of my 4 yr old vehicle was rusting out; manufacturer issue. They informed me on how to deal with both issues and all went well. Their work was excellent . The paint match is perfect. Ray's cleaned my vehicle for me and I was stunned with how beautiful everything looked. Respectful service and unbeatable quality and price. A very pleasant personal experience. Top notch people who care about the work they do.

Provided by DexKnowsI brought my car to Central Ave Auto Body to have my bumper replaced because they are a respected local, family owned business close to my home. The estimate process was fast and simple, no appointment needed, and they gave me some low cost options since the repairs were being paid for out of pocket and not through insurance. No pressure to go with the full estimate whatsoever, like I have experienced elsewhere in the past. The free loaner car they provide is an invaluable plus! My car was ready the same day I dropped it off, the final cost came in a couple dollars under the estimate and I am very happy with the work they did! I would recommend them to anyone and will definitely go back should I need work done in the future. Ray and Rick truly made me feel like a valued customer and acknowledge me with a wave or nod when we run into each other on the road in the neighborhood!

Provided by DexKnowsI have had several cars repaired by Central Auto Body over the last 15 years. They have always done a first rate job, charged exactly what they said they would, and made it easy to work with them. They handle working with the insurance company; they provide a free loaner, and they finish when they say they will. In each case, when I picked up the car, I couldn't tell it had been damaged. I would happily recommend them to anyone.

Provided by DexKnowsAwesome experience. Was hit in both passangers doors in an accident. After insurance inspection was complete I took the car right to Central Ave Auto Body. Drop off was fast, friendly, and efficient. Everything was explained clearly, FREE loaner car was waiting for me out front, and estimated completion time was given. Work was done sooner than expected and pick-up was just as fast, friendly, and efficient. Body work looks amazing and the car had been completely detailed inside and out. This is the place to go!!

Provided by DexKnowsMy mechanic of 20+ years recommended I go to Central Avenue Auto Body when my car started developing rust. The estimate I was given was what was charged, the work was done on time, they truly *did* give me a free loaner, and the employees treated me like an important client. Best of all, my Subaru looks fantastic. I would recommend Central Avenue Auto Body to a friend, and I will return there in the future if I need more work done.

Provided by DexKnowsGreat service, as always. We've had several cars at Central Ave Auto Body over the years. They've always done good work, done it on time, they stick to their estimates, and their rates are reasonable. And they don't try to sell you something if you don't need it. I highly recommend them.
