Uptown Body & Fender - Auto Body Shop and Collision Repair in Oakland

"OMG. Can you say honest, genuine, and “feels like family” about a body shop?? Seriously, stop looking and take your car here. This was my 3rd estimate for a small repair on my 2014 Mercedes Wagon and they were so transparent and honest. The other two shops were corporate and impersonal, let alone more pricey. This shop said that their computer was showing it was a more involved process than it actually should be. That they would try to save me time and money. After the part arrived, they ended up doing the repair while I waited! Really nice clean shop. And the people are so genuine. Why can’t more Oakland business be like this role model of a body shop? I will end with one odd sentiment I had after I left: I left with a weird desire to apply for a job here. Really. I am fully employed at my dream job (I’m a music composer) and I still felt like ‘man, it would probably be real pleasant to work here even if I have zero experience in the car body world’. That’s all I’ll say. Cheers!"

"Always feel super well cared for at Uptown Auto Body - a small, woman owned business in Oakland. Work done as expected and on time . And… final bill was less than initial estimate! Oh and the coffee is excellent. Thanks for being a part of my community Giovanna and team. You are all amazing! I highly recommend you!❤️❤️"

"Uptown is hands down the best experience I've had as a customer - at any business - in years. Our Subaru was rear-ended and required significant body work. Throughout the process, they were honest, fair, responsive, and generous. From giving my spouse a ride home so she could make a work call in time to handling all negotiations with our insurance, they consistently made us feel valued as customers and - sounds silly to say - fellow human beings. For example, when they learned that we were paying out of pocket for the rental car, they negotiated a lower rate with the rental agency! I am happy with the quality of their work, more than pleased with the value, and genuinely impressed by their customer service -- including Giovanna, who is just the best. There's a reason this place has almost 800 reviews and a 4.9 rating. We are customers for life. Thanks Uptown and Giovanna!"

"From the very first interaction with Uptown Body & Fender staff, I was welcomed & assured my vehicle could & would be completely repaired. The total experience has been professional & personalized. I would highly recommend this team for professional & quality body repair. Their shop is extremely clean.For those that have small children, they’ll love the book library & wooden train toy collection that kids can play with!!!!!"
