I absolutely love this place i traveled 1 hour to get my bumper paint matched to my car and was very happy with the results! Great customer service and they did a great job I’m very picky when it comes to my car but I was not disappointed I highly recommend coming here! I did a walk in right when they opened and I did call a couple days before to let them know I was coming in and got same day service. Greatly appreciate Ruben and his workers for taking care of my car!

I had four different mechanics work on my car and still none of them could fix it, I knew I had to find a company with a perfect rating and who specialized in Mercedes to help me. I found A-one Auto and they fixed my issue in a day. What I loved most about my experience is the fact that they knew exactly what was wrong with it and noticed every little thing and explained where it all went wrong. This made me realize they were EXPERTS. Their work provided me with a two year warranty. I couldn't be happier. I will only bring my car here from now on. Thank you so much guys!!!

Ash and Ruben from A-One Auto were so helpful throughout the whole process of having some scratches on both sides of my car reparied. When I got it back, it felt like I had a whole new car! Ruben made a confusing process easy to understand, giving me a clear picture of what my options were and how to go about filing an insurance claim. Ash went above and beyond by helping me deal with my insurance and advocating for me to them. Anytime I called, if he wasn't able to answer, he always called me back within 1-2 minutes. He even gave me a ride home all the way to Manhattan Beach from the shop after dropping my car off so that I wouldn't have to pay for an uber. I am originally from the East Coast so I don’t have a family out here in LA to help me with these kinds of things but A-One was so helpful and accommodating that it made a daunting task feel very manageable. 10/10 would recommend them to anyone I know!!

A one Auto is one of the best body shops that I have ever used. From the minuet I arrived with the car and they were super helpful and detailed. Went over the repairs in details and had already reserved a car for me with the nearest car rental dealer. The entire process from dropping off the car to picking up the rental took less than an hour which is my past several experiences took at least 3-4 hours. One of the amazing benefits there to that they are not just a body shop but they also have a very good mechanics team who helped me check and repair couple items of my car . I would recommend them to everyone . A one are truly A one in the business.

I recently purchased a 2023 Tesla Model Y. Almost immediately, I scuffed the paint on the bumper. Heartbroken I took it around to some body shops that were giving me estimates of upwards of $3K+. I took my car into A-One and their team gave me an estimate 1/6th of other shops and got it done within 24hrs without having to remove the bumper. A true miracle this place. They color matched the paint on site and I was absolutely blown away.

I was quoted for a $400 repair and wasnt explained to that the van wasnt running and needed an extra $2,000 to get it back on the road. After walking over there to pick it up he explained $400 was only for diagnostic and he wasnt sure if he could even find the part. After a week trying to get the money he had my van towed from there. They wanted $400 plus $2,000 and werent sure if they could even find the part. Scam shop

My BMWs bumper was damaged and needed to be repaired and painted. I shopped around, both on Yelp and Google, then went to several body shops for estimates. About a week - and numerous estimates later, A- One Body Shop beat the other shops warranty by 2 years and they gave me the second best price (the best price was 50 bucks less but their paint warranty was only for 1 year and the place looked janky). Trust me when I tell you, look all you want, this is the best place youre going to find. Ruben, the owner (and Hector, the repair guy) are super cool. The shop is modern. This place is legit.

The name say it all. I came back in town to my driver mirror broken on my car. I found this shop on google on a Thursday, went and got a quote, paid for the new mirror and was able to have it installed on Friday like brand new. Ruben and Ash was very fast in repairing my mirror within 24 hours of my quote. Another plus, they was able to order factory parts and color match the original factory paint. I highly recommend this location plus I will be back to have another car fixed. They do body work and maintenance. .

If I can give a negative star I would. This auto shop charged me $125.00 for a diagnostic check even though I gave my business to them. He did the diagnosis and I agreed to have him repair my car. About a week later, my car is having the same issue he said he fixed. I brought the car to him again and he wanted to charge me another $125.00 for the diagnostic..I refused. He did the diagnostic at no charge this time and he told me my engine is going bad and that it would cost me $5600 to have the engine replaced. I drive a 2011. Heres what I gathered: 1. Dishonesty practices 2. Price gouging 3. Poor time management 4. Poor communication Stay away..!!

I brought my 04 f350 to this place because it had good reviews. They do not live up to there reviews. They had my truck for a week and didnt touch it while i was on vacation. The manager went on vacation same time i did but didnt communicate with anyone what work needed to be done on it. I came back from vacation. Had to rent a truck to go back to work as they let it sit for another couple days and finally they fixed it in a day. I came to pickup the truck up and after looking over some parts i noticed there was a part missing, another one loose and another part not on properly. Another day goes by....Bottom line they had my truck 2.5 weeks. 3 of those days actually worked on it. I had to pay full price and for the rental truck for all those days. Would never reccomend this place.

No experience with the actual work they do, but the guy who answered the phone had an ill manner of addressing things.
