Best of the Bay Auto Body - Valley Ford, California

Mom and I were in a panic when my husbands car overheated. It’s a new car and not one that I drive often. We ran into the shop and Tim immediately ran out to calm our nerves, diagnose and fix the problem. They were quick and eager to help and had us on the road In no time. We live in Novato but will definitely go back. It’s nice to know there are honest, kind and qualified mechanics nearby. Highly recommend!

I had just started driving down the Pacific coast Highway and experienced some problems with my convertible top. It wouldn't open. I went in there, met Tim and his son. In all of 3 minutes, he found what was wrong! He didn't have the part, but he showed me how to operate my top manually. Didn't charge me a single penny!!!! Tim is the best and nicest guy!! That garage fully deserves its name. Thanks Tim, you made my trip a whole lot nicer!

We unfortunately hit a deer near Valley Ford and brought our vehicle with crushed right front to the Best of the Bay auto works. We really couldn't drive it much further. Tim broke away from his work to focus on our plight. He was extremely helpful and worked on the right front area to remove debris and create a drive-able condition for the vehicle. Thanks to his expert attention, we were able to continue on our way. Clearly, Tim knows what he is doing and was exemplary for his kindness to travelers. This is a great place and I wish we lived nearer.

I cannot recommend Best of the Bay Auto Shop highly enough, particularly due to the extraordinary service provided by Tim. My Tesla sustained significant damage after driving through floodwater, leaving the underbody in need of repair. My friends and I were in a difficult situation, unsure of how to proceed with our weekend getaway.

As luck would have it, we had parked the car at Best of the Bay Auto Shop. After locating their information online, I called to explain our situation. Tim was understanding and helpful from the start. He took the time to inspect the car, ultimately determining that he could secure the underbody, making the vehicle safe to drive once more.

Tim's generosity extended far beyond just offering his expertise. He spent several hours on his weekend to carefully inspect and repair my car, all for a mere $100. His willingness to go above and beyond for a customer in need was truly impressive.

Thanks to Tim and the team at Best of the Bay Auto Shop, my car was able to make it back to LA without any issues. They saved our weekend and left a lasting impression with their exceptional service and genuine kindness. I wholeheartedly recommend Best of the Bay Auto Shop for their expertise, professionalism, and compassionate approach to customer care. Tim's generosity will always be remembered, and I am incredibly grateful for his assistance.

After dropping off my boy at camp in Doran Park, I found out my splash shield underneath the car got partially dangling (possibly losing screws/pins). I suspected the culprit to be the piece of debris on Bodega Highway yesterday. When I was starting to get nervous after a Google search that most shops are almost 20 miles away, I was lucky to see Tim's shop is only 10 minutes away and open. I pulled into their driveway, Tim and his coworker promptly gave my car a quick check and confirmed that it was missing pins. The whole process took about 5-10 minutes and I was able to get on my way. They didn't charge me a thing! I would highly recommend their Auto Body.

What a lifesaver! There's nothing more stressful than being on a long vacation trip and having to deal with a fender-bender that gets in the way of you moving on to your next destination. I am so grateful for Best of the Bay. I called them in the morning, dropped my car off before lunch, and was back on the road by the time lunch was done. Their professionalism and helpful attitude made the whole experience a true delight....which is frankly better than I get from auto repair shops in my home town. Thank you Best of the Bay - I would recommend you ANY day!

I couldn't get my hood to unlatch - I've got an old Ford F150 - and Tim encouraged me to drop by. He and Monte got right to work (I wasn't even out of the cab), fixed the problem quickly with a little elbow grease (and some de-rusting spray), and then graciously tightened the bolts holding the front bumper in place. They worked quickly and efficiently, I'll definitely recommend to my friends and neighbors. Thanks Tim!

I brought my classic car in after an accident. They fixed it up better than ever. I'm very impressed by how thorough they were . Even found and ordered parts from Arizona because you can't find parts for a 1974 any more.. Great customer service . I recommend you bring your car here for body work.
