I've used a few body shops in the North Bay area and they're all very good, restoring my vehicles back to the condition they were before the accidents, so there's not much to write about. But last month my 2019 F150 needed body work after a young man crashed into the left side of my truck. My company suggested Falcon in Concord. After 2 weeks, as promised, I came to pick up the truck and of course it was fixed beautifully as expected and the bonus was the detailing job they had done to my truck, inside and outside. Looked like a brand new truck, again. Got home, I noticed that they'd replaced one of the light bulb in my tail lights too. A week later, my wife said the AC didn't work, I spoke to Herson and he told me they only worked on the body but bring it back anyway so they could take a look. Herson had a technician came out and troubleshot and replaced a fuse to get the AC going. Now, that was above and beyond customer service. I was not only happy but really delighted. Thanks Herson! Oh, I forgot to mention that they picked up my truck from my home in Suisun City and brought it to Concord to work on it too. Hopefully I won't need their service anymore, LOL, but if I do, they're the one I'd think of.

DO NOT take your vehicles here. Only go if you want your PAINT to look like a BAD WRAP. They even will give you a "warranty" for either 3 or 5 years, but yet won't cover anything. Far beyond disappointed with this paint job that is peeling, cracking and falling off less then 1 year after being painted at Falcon collision. This place is a joke.

On arrival for pick up I received horrible service, disrespectful employees, parts missing, left me handfuls of bolts and nuts after having my car painted to figure out where they go. Passenger seat belt bolts missing, door handle bolts loose/ falling out, even my fog light led bulbs they removed and the list goes on. My headlight fell out due to bolts they did not put in. Some weird stuff going on at this shop. They gave me a 5 year warranty but now they won't accept the warranty? The owner got aggressive when I came in for a scheduled date with the shop to have some warranty touch ups to be addressed for when the headlight fell out, the owner was very disrespectful and began to shove me out lock to door and call me names even though it was scheduled for me to bring the car. Do NOT trust falcon with any quality work as the warranty is non existent. Do NOT trust falcon to put you vehicle back together completely. Double check all nuts and bolts as it seems they didn't even use tools to tighten things.

Hello Martin,
My name is Emerson Dominguez, and I am one of the owners here at Falcon Collision Repair. After reviewing our records I can't seem to locate a repair under your name. Can you please contact me so that I can locate your repair. The review you left concerns me as it doesn't sound like something Herson would do or has ever done. Please know that I am more than willing to hear out your complaint and make it right.
Thank you,

All of that sounds good and glad it only too you all a few months to draft your response. Facts are Falcon did in fact receive violations and the Bureau of automotive repair did have to come down there and teach you guys how to run your business and your paperwork was being done incorrectly. All the rust was seen and the pictures I have of the car before the work began shows it. All parts were provided prior to any work being done. The car looks significantly worse after Falcon worked on it than before it went into your shop. Again anyone thinking of going to Falcon if you have a old school classic car BEWARE of the butchers.
The deal was $4,000. And after they got some free Christmas spending cash (my money $3,000) they tried to change the deal.
Stay away from Falcon Auto Collision in Berkeley.
If I could leave a zero rating I would.Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0Business owner information

Mr. Ford,
As a small, family owned business that has been in business for over 13 years we take great pride in the customer base that we have built as a result of our workmanship and customer service. In no way would we attempt to mislead or deceive a customer regarding the repairs to their vehicle. This is why we are an Accredited Business with the Better Business Bureau, are in good standing with the Bureau of Automotive Repair and have NEVER had any violations at the state level, as you claim.
Emerson came to your home and did an exterior visual inspection of your vehicle. The original estimate that you were quoted was for $4,500 and was to include repair of a few dents and a complete paint job. No rust repair was included in that quote, however, you were made aware that there was some rust visible when the quote was provided to you and the extent of how bad the rust was wouldn't be known until the vehicle was taken to our shop and a tear down performed. You were advised that, at an additional cost, the vehicle should be sand blasted so the full extent of the rust could be evaluated and proper repair methods taken. You advised that your budget was somewhat tight and would let us know.
You provided $3,000 down towards the original estimate and shortly after the vehicle arrived at our shop you advised us to proceed with the sand blasting. We obtained a quote from a reputable company, as this is not a service we provide in house, and you were quoted an additional $650. After the sandblasting was complete and all rusted spots became visible you were notified that the 2 quarters panels, trunk floor, and back glass panel were rusted beyond repair and needed to be replaced. You advised us that this was not in your budget and PLEADED with us to help you out. You brought us pieces of sheet metal and asked us to weld in new pieces of sheet metal to repair the rusted out areas. Against our recommendation, we proceeded with the repair plan you had requested. We quoted you an additional $1,500 in labor for the additional work (way below what we should and could have charged) which you haggled down to $1,000. We in no way tried to "squeeze" you for an additional $1,000. In fact you were attempting to "squeeze" more work out of us than what you were quoted for or could even afford. In the end we are happy that you called in the B.A.R. and B.B.B. because they helped facilitate the return of your vehicle to you as there was no way we were going to be able to complete the amount of work your vehicle needed on the budget you had.
We are always cautious when we provide customers a time frame for completion as hidden damage always sets this time frame back and is completely out of our control, ESPECIALLY when dealing with classic cars. Another thing out of our control is our customer's budget. When a customer's dreams of how they want their vehicle to look don't match their budget there's nothing we can do. I guess being the bearer of bad news about your "dream car" makes us the bad guys.Dec 3, 2015Previous reviewFalcon auto collision in Berkeley California, let's see where do I start.
The worst place to go for auto repair. They will smile, shake your hand and burn you.
I took a classic car there my 70 Chevelle SS, wrong thing to do. they were supposed to soda blast my car they sandblasted my car. They were supposed to do rust repairs on the quarter panels, well they stapled the new panel on top of the old panel and filled the rest of it with bondo. I was told my complete paint job would be done and bodywork for $4,000 it will be done in 2 to 3 months time. After 8 months they tried to squeeze me for an additional $1000. And my car was still unfinished. I couldn't take it anymore and had to pick up my car. There is missing parts from my car , crappy bodywork most of which is unfinished. They put primer on my car, they painted over sand and dirt some of the car was never even primed the paint job was never finished there is sand on top of the transmission all over the engine all over underneath the car as well as inside the car. They even sandblasted my windows. What kind of dumb ass sandblast a car in etches the windows.
I repeat never take your car to Falcon auto collision in Berkeley California. They will tell you 2 weeks it will be done I guarantee you it will take longer than that it least twice as long. I had taking my girlfriend's car there and it was supposed of been 20 days to fix the car it took 61 days they even painted my girlfriend's car the wrong color it was supposed to be gray they painted it silver and had to redo the paint job.
I filed complaint on them with the Better Business Bureau and the Bureau of Automotive Repair.
They even tried to forge my signature and send it over to the people from the Bureau of Automotive Repair. They are as crooked as it comes but they will smile and shake your hand.
They have violations from the state level. Do not do business with this company save yourself the headache.
Show you the kind of people they are Erson and Emerson, I told them I was picking my car up with a UHaul trailer. they took all the bolts out of the front end except for the two bolts that hold the hood on to the fenders so my car looks like it was together. If I would have used a open trailer the car would have flown apart on the freeway at 55 miles per hour possibly injuring someone. Low life scum bags. I would bet 90% of the people there they get work done it's not done on time... - Thomas S.San Francisco, CA27117832May 31, 2017
I couldn't say anything bad about these guys. I unfortunately had a little accident in my work vehicle "Volvo XC60" a few weeks back. I had a small dent and the actual cap had fallen off. I contacted my companies vehicle service company Wheels and they suggested a place near home in Emeryville. I was very lucky to find these guys and thankful that they could get me in. Not only did they get me in that day for a photo but they scheduled me in for a repair the following Monday. They even contacted a rental company for me to pick me up from the shop so I could continue to work without a car. It can be hard to find a local repair shop that will treat you fairly while doing everything in their power to keep the experience positive while maintaining quality & efficiency .
From day one, they team were extremely warm and patient. I will defiantly be referring Falcon to any friends and local Yelpers. Not only did they have my Volvo repaired by that following Tuesday but they replaced my burnt out break light and gave my car a nice shine after they were finished.
Thanks again guys!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Joe B.El Cerrito, CA37089Jul 17, 2017
This ia my place to go.
They have my business with everything related to car body shop, accident ,auto Paint and even replace the folding roof on my convertable BMW.
The guys are amazing!!!
Herson is honest ,friendly ,always give a fair price and want to help as much as he can every single time.
His brother George is running the repairs side and make things happen.
True family business.
I send all my friend to thier Berkeley location and everyone is so happy working with them.
But here is a quick tip:
I think its really hard business to be in and as much as the owner want to get your car back to your arms as soon as possible ,few times its took a little longer than expected(they are very busy and working with all the big insurance companies and I often even see the Berkeley police cars got fixed there) so always ask how long they think the job will take and add another few days to it because this is a hard job to do and takes time in order to do it right and perfect. Personly, I think its worth the wait.
Really good people to be around, not an easy thing to find this days.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Eljay O.South San Francisco, CA26186Mar 30, 2019
its been a year or so since falcon collision fixed our car due to car accident. now the paint of our chevy camaro is starting to peel the paint of our car. i don't know what happened or how do they paint our car, and herson, one of the owner doesn't want to admit about it and they don't want to fixed it cause they said that we just ran over some white paint over the road. but heres the pictures. its peeling over the bumper and on the side of the car. guys never entrust your car over them. its hard to deal with them. There service are not good, they over charged the parts and their service. They took nearly 4 months to fixed our car.

As someone who is always unfortunate to be a victim of hit and run, or someone bumping my car while it is parked in a lot I have used Falcon Collision many times. Herson and his brothers have been very accommodating every time I need their services. They will tow your car if needed if it is unsafe to drive. They will help you talk to your insurance to get your car repaired and even coordinate with a rental car company if your car needs to be in the shop longer than expected.
Their shop in Berkeley is really nice. There is a clean and comforatable lounge/waiting room for you to wait for your car. My car always looks amazing when Falcon Collision fixes it. It looks brand new. They went the extra mile by checking my brakes, the fluids, they even repaired my automatic window which was not working. You really get excellent service and work at this shop! Definitely recommend this place!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Tony G.Oakley, CA0122Apr 28, 2018
This is my go to shop and I live in San Francisco. They are loyal and never get over on you. Herson works non stop to make sure you are happy. Shop is an A ++++ in my book!
