Reviews
"Very honorable shop with excellent workmanship. Everything is super clean and organized. Extremely impressed with the quality of work performed. They took great care of my car! Highly recommended!"
"My insurance company recommended First Class Auto Body to repair my VOLVO XC40 as they know who is really good. Even with that FCAB exceeded my expectations. They are good, very friendly and always have time to talk and explain the repair process. They really enjoy being First Class. Now my car looks like new. Grezie fratelli !"
"I found out about this body shop though some older co-workers from Honda Headquarters. They all had great reviews and the physical work to show on their cars looked great! I brought First Class Auto Body my 2017 Civic Type R, which was purchased from Copart, as a Salvage title (totaled) car. My intention with the car was to repair it and turn it into a demo car for my custom parts I make for my company. Casale Design LLC. When the car was towed to First Class, Daniel and Oscar right away got to work on giving me detailed estimates on the repairs to be done. I specified that I would be supplying some of my own parts (OEM new and used) for the repairs. They were perfectly ok with that! The staff was always welcoming to me and friendly every time I visited the shop. I enjoyed talking to Daniel about cars, food and sports! He has a great sense of humor! The engine was overhauled (removed) and the car was first straightened on their frame machine. Then, the driver side frame rail and driver side apron components were removed (damaged) and new OEM Honda components were jigged and welded in place. Daniel would text and call me with every step and would always ask me specifics on how I wanted things done. (most of the repair photos attached were texted to be by Daniel). While this was happening I also came in and did some test fitting of my custom made parts on the car while it was waiting parts to arrive. To close, the frame was painted to match the existing, and the wheel well area was faded into the E-Coat to look factory. I also paid to have my existing engine harness repaired which First Class offered which saved me a bunch of money compared to buying a new replacement harness. I brought them a new OEM hood and Driver Fender which they paint matched, as well as blended the driver door. I brought them a used OEM front bumper which I repaired, and they surface prepped and painted as well. All in all I was pleased with the work. The engine was re-installed and the AC system recharged and a new condenser and radiator were installed. Also a new OEM core support I supplied and they installed. I opted to do the final front end assembly myself at home. I was happy they were willing to work with parts I brought to them. Not all shops are willing to do this kind of thing! Also, I will say that since this shop (in my opinion) is European focused, their hourly rates are a bit higher than other shops, but their attention to detail matches the price! They have a high certification rating as well to back their work up. If anyone wants to see my Civic Type R in person who is considering using First Class, I am happy to show you! :)"
"I took my 2017 Mazda3 into First Class and received the best quality work! The staff was extremely friendly and helped me through the entire process. When I received my within a week, the car was not only fixed, but they also detailed the interior and exterior as well as fixing my tire pressure! That's something I expected them to do but it's greatly appreciated. If I need to go back, I'll definitely come back here:)"
