Kind Words from Our Customers

We've been here twice now, once for a big body work job and once for a headlight crack/paint job. Sergio was honest and helpful. They don't oversell and in one case recommended not doing work they could have charged plenty for.

Adam Avakian

Sergio was so helpful and kind, he was able to quickly fix some cosmetic damage to my bumper / get it back into proper alignment and added a little paint so things didn’t look so bad! He didn’t even charge me, definitely won my business! Will be back soon for some repairs to my side mirror once I get the parts

Mandie Wilson

The guys at Clay did an amazing job fixing up my car! It was my first time doing this process with insurance and they were kind and helpful throughout. My car looks brand new, and it was done exactly when they told me it would be, and they cleaned it! I will absolutely return to Clay if I need body work done again.

Olivia Ray

Sergio and his team repainted a door handle for me that a woman banged in parking lot. He told me it was worth his time or my time to deal with the insurance companies for something like this. Highly recommend! And the door handle looks terrific. He did it in just a few hours.

Robin Kahn

There are still kind people in the world! I stopped by Clay Auto Body without an appointment and Sergio Dos Santos stopped everything to take a look at my car for an estimate. He knew right away what caused the damage (it had been a mystery to me) and proceeded to buff it out so it looks as good as new. He refused any payment and sent me on my way. I will certainly be going back there for any other work I need completed.

Barbara Holland

I have now had two very good experienes with Clay. The front office staff isvery easy to work with. Scheduling was easy. The more recent work involved rear fender damage. work was explained clearly, and left me feeling confident that the pricing was fair. The work itself was done well and efficiently.

Don Freedman

What can I say?? I brought my car in today w/o and appt. and they fixed my car while I was waiting and they were super busy. Amazing! They didn't even want to charge me! I would never hesitate to go there again. You just don't see service like that anymore. Whole-heartily recommend them!

Sheila Bercury

My freshly painted hood is covered in very fine scratches in all directions upon collection of the car this morning; there's overspray on the windshield and a white residue on the passenger front wheel and plenty inside the fins of the grille; their invoice shows $130 for wet sand and cleaning for delivery - this seems unreasonable given the lack of attention to cleaning. Finally, I noticed they left a piece of plastic hood cover on the back seat - Sergio was kind enough to come to my office ... Read More

Sergio Dos Santos and Clay Auto Body restore faith in humanity! No appointment required for the evaluation, prompt and courteous response, made the bumper adjustment without charge!
