I guess by now Capitol Auto Body is my home away from home. :) Roy and Ed really treat me like family. Glad to have these guys watching out for my car.
Well this time around I had some fitment issues and bumper problems which Ed and Roy fixed up in under a day! Excellent work! Car looks amazing! Much better than when I brought it in!
Great work at great prices!!!
Thank you again guys! You are amazing! The only reason my car gets attention is because of all the work that you have put into it. I value your work and your friendship!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0Aug 30, 2014Previous reviewAnother ball hit right outta the park by Roy & Ed! Car looks amazing after being hit and run while parked. The guys did another excellent job. Only issue I had was lack of communication on a small incident in picking up the car, but it was minor.
Will always bring my car back here! Roy, Ed and Bob are all trust worthy people!Feb 23, 2014Previous reviewCame back to see Ed regarding my BMW which had the rear trunk vandalized.
Roy (the owner) and I went over my options regarding the damage. He even went as far as repairing some other items for me at no cost. Great guy and very knowledgable about performance parts especially Carbon fiber. We agreed on what I would like done and I went on my way.
Seeing as how the car was going to be in the shop for a few weeks, I called up and spoke to Ed if they could remove my rear bumper as I wanted to take it to get it repaired from another shop I previously took it to (as it was going to be a free repair, as they messed up on it). Ed removed it without any issues and he didn't mind doing it. Even though it wasn't their job to do it. Another great Guy! Ed communicated very well and let me know exactly when my car would be ready. He really cares about his customers and takes pride in the quality of his work. Ed had my rear bumper ready for me to pick up and it was really great that I could limit my downtime and get that taken car of as well while it was in the shop. I wish I had known about Roy and Ed and Capitol Auto Body before, I would have had them originally paint my rear bumper. But you can be sure I will bring it back here for any additional work.
Ed called me down when the trunk was ready to show me how it looked before they installed it. My jaw literally hit the floor when I saw it. The custom paint job was epic! Roy's design looked AMAZING!
You could tell these guys take pride in what they do! Absolutely amazing paint skills! My trunk was made of Carbon fiber and I wanted a customized job to expose that Carbon on different parts in the trunk while painting most of it black. Great work!
I then purchased some side skirt splitters which Ed went ahead and installed for me, while still meeting my pickup deadline.
If you want a body shop where customer service and quality is key, then you need to come and see Roy and Ed! They are one of THE BEST body shops I have ever been to!
Thank you Roy and Ed!Oct 22, 2013Previous reviewThis review is for Roy & Ed, I brought my Convertible BMW in to refit a rear diffuser. Roy & Ed did an amazing job and I was kept in the loop thru-out the whole process. Communication was excellent! When they noticed a problem they called me right away and made sure that I was aware of the problem and offered solutions rather than saying that it couldn't be done. My carbon fiber diffuser was installed to more than my satisfaction and they had also reinforced my bumper which was added plus!
Capitol autobody really works for the customer it works hard to make sure the customer is satisfied and they worked many hours to solve my issue and the rate was very reasonable.
Thank you Roy & Ed! For making my visit a flawless one!

CLOSED. This was our go-to body shop, but they are now closed. I called their number, and a woman identifying herself as the owner said the shop was now closed.
Five stars because she gave me a referral to another great shop (T&T Auto Body and Paint on 10th Street in San Jose)Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0Nov 8, 2014Previous reviewCapitol Auto Body has done a great job for me several times in the last year (don't ask). If it's an insurance claim, they work with the insurance company to get full reimbursement for the damage that wasn't obvious when the adjuster did the first estimate. If you are paying yourself and you want to save money, they'll search for used or aftermarket parts. Either way, they do a great job. The cars they've worked on look great and everything works right.
Highly recommended. - Apr 17, 2013
I needed some body work recently so based on very positive Yelp reviews, I decided to visit Capitol Auto Body for a free estimate. The estimate was done immediately after I got there. Although I wasn't looking to spend very much on an older car, after hearing what the estimate included, I thought the total they were asking for was more than fair. At no time did I feel like I was being pressured to repair the car after the estimate was done. After thinking about it, I decided to authorize the work.
When I saw the completed work, I quickly realized I came to the right place. In addition to performing the work as agreed, they did some additional work (buffed out dents and scratches) at no extra charge throughout the body of the car. The job was done flawlessly and on time.
They've won me over as a fan and I will refer this shop to friends and family who need a reliable and professional auto body shop. The owner of the shop, Roy, was pleasant to deal with from start to finish and appropriately communicated with me throughout the process.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jay K.Santa Clara, CA17012Apr 20, 2016
The housing on side mirror was broken, and I asked Louis for a quote, which was reasonable. He ordered the part for me in a day, and fixed it quickly in 1.5 hours.
As a bonus, his technician also polished the metal part of the mirror and removed few scratches. Overall the experience was very smooth and pleasant.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Robert C.San Jose, CA5457Jan 31, 2016
They just finished my Excursion prior to their relocation to Santa Clara. The Excursion is now difficult to get parts for and the result is very nice.
When dealing with an insurance claim, I felt they were on my side to get the best repair possible. As it turned out they had to fix prior body shop work that was sub standard. I'll use them again and I suggest you give them a call the next auto body work you need.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Wai I.Bellevue, WA83226Mar 10, 2016
The best people and most trustworthy award goes to Louis and his crew! My story was, I scratched the side mirror housing against my garage wall when I pull out of the garage. The scratch wasn't huge, almost 2 inches in length and a quarter inch wide, the paint and coating was off. I went to Yelp and request quote to about 10 shops, Louis from Capitol was one of the first few who responded, and with the lowest price, about 25% to 100% cheaper than some who replied me. (That's right, gotta to ask around for quote or I would have paid twice as much without knowing).
Upon arriving Capitol (they just moved to Lafayette by the way) I was greeted by Louis, who not only inspected the damage but also look around my cars for some tiny dents that he said he would touch up for me for free. After a few hours (some other shops who quoted me requested at least a full day), the car is back in perfect showroom condition, for the exact same quote he told me, not a penny more.
These guys are honest, respectful, friendly, helpful and polite. These words I said usually don't apply to auto-shop in general, Capitol is an extreme rare exception. Would totally recommend Louis @ Capitol, no job is too big or too small for them.
By the way, a disclaimer, they have NEVER asked me to write them up a good yelp review. I did this on my own, because they are so deserved it. They are that good. ;)Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Taylor H.San Jose, CA741510Feb 27, 2014
We have had the unfortunate experience of having accidents with two different cars. One of them was a 2008 4Runner where the whole left side was basically sheered off from a side-swipe.
I've dealt with quite a few body shops in my life and this has been the best experience. They are relatively small shop that takes good care of their customers with good personal service. They did a great job helping us deal with the insurance company in the smoothest way possible. At no point did I feel like they weren't totally trustworthy and a stand-up business.
The quality of the work is excellent. Both cars came back better than they were before the accidents. In one case there were a couple of minor details that were overlooked and when we followed up with and they were excellent about resolving them completely.
I would recommend this place to everyone. Don't go to Capital Collision (a big shop near Capital Drive-In) which is horrible and hard to deal with. If you have an accident, call this place first before even making your insurance claim and let them know you intend to use them, then call your insurance and tell them you'd like to use your own preferred body shop. At Capital Auto Body they'll suggest how to go about the claims process if you have questions. You won't regret it. They'll make sure you leave happy.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0 - Paul D.San Jose, CA38255Oct 12, 2009
A very attractive Mother hit me, and I need work on my rear end of my car.
The Good:Capitol Auto Body is amazing with their work, made my car look brand new.
They can color match perfectly.
The Bad: I noticed even though they fixed the impossible, they missed one of my body lines above the fender. For awhile I couldn't sleep at night but I am glad my Subaru is alive and well again.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Daniel C.San Jose, CA1512Oct 17, 2014
This is the place you want to bring your car, truck or suv what a awesome place. Roy and his team did everything I asked for and more to my 2014 Silverado. I was very happy when I picked up my truck today. it looks way better now then when I first purchased my truck. Roy took the time to call me to update me on it... Even made suggestions to extra items to make the truck Look clean that I didn't even think about...so I highly recommend you bring your vehicle here for any thing you need done to it... Thanks Roy and to your team for making this an great experience. From now on this is the only place I'll be bringing my truck and The Families too

I first headed over to Capitol Auto Body, Inc. because of favorable Yelp reviews. I got an estimate for auto body paint work following damage due to an act of vandalism...
Disclosure: I got estimates at competitors located on Winfield who shall remain unnamed. BOTTOMLINE: NOBODY COULD MATCH THEIR PRICE! This was a key consideration for me as I was going to have to absorb the hit and pay out of pocket.
What about the end result? Exemplary work, my older vehicle has a new lease on life... They were consummate professionals--every single individual with whom I interacted was terrific! I will highly recommend their shop to anyone I cross paths with. Capitol Auto Body has won a customer and advocate for life because of the quality of their work, their great customer service, and unbeatable prices. This is one of the rare instances in this life where you can get more than what you pay for...
You would do well to check them out!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
