Dennis’s Body Shop

Hit a pig out by my ranch near pinnacles in my Prius! pretty much wiped out the front end. Called my favorite insurance person in Hollister (helly Henri!) and got set up with Dennis. The car was driveable, got out there, he spent a few minutes looking it over… In a few days, I got the Prius back good as new! He went above and beyond and was very easy to deal with. As I begin restoring an old truck, I know who I will be going to for sandblasting and some finishing touches. Great guy, great business… Thanks for being around!

They fixed up the car very quickly and did a wonderful job. The customer service was also extremely good. The car looks as good as new now.

Small town charm. Excellent quality. Can’t complain.
I can be a gigantic pain in the ass. I get that. That’s who I am, I’m fine with it. I usually expect the worst, and hope for the best. I can usually complain about anything… EXCEPT the work I had done by Dennis’s body shop in Hollister, CA. Everything came out great.
I’m in the process of restoring a 1955 teardrop trailer. The problem is that I decided to start with a gigantic pile of crap. It’s over 55 years old. It’s caked with rust and years of road grime. I’ve seen piles of crap that are less crappy than the crap I started with. I needed someone to sandblast 57 years of junk off this thing and to put a respectable paint job on it. Long story short — I called around decided to go with Dennis’s shop.
Upon arrival Dennis gave me an accurate and detailed estimate. He quoted that the work would be done in one week. Dennis spent time helping me pick out the correct color red for the frame and fenders. He even made a few suggestions on how to improve the quality of my restoration.
A week later I was back to get my frame, fenders and what not. I arranged to meet up after standard business hours to pick up my parts. My parts came out great. I looked everything over and I was really pleased.
Dennis’s work was on time and excellent. There were no ‘unexpected surprises’ or overages.
I’m not usually one to try and refute other reviews. It’s not polite and it’s all hearsay in the end. However, There was one thing in a prior review that didn’t make sense to me. Dennis wouldn’t take any money until the job was completed. He wouldn’t take money for materials. No money up front.
Anyway — my experience was great. I will be using Dennis to complete the final paint job on the trailer.

same horrible service here. Big mistake paying this guy before the work was done to my liking. On a restoration said he would do stuff but never did. He actually screwed up more stuff then he did. Don’t waste your time and money with this shop.

I had a great experience when I needed my bumper repainted at Dennis’s Body Shop. They gave me an accurate quote and had the work done within a few days. I did not have any issue with dust in the paint and matches the original paint perfectly. Highly recommend and will use again for any other car need.

horrible!
I can not begin to tell how bad and unprofessional of a job these guys do! I do not feel like typing a novel so here is my story in a nut shell.
I had a car that was in for a new paint job through my insurance company. My insurance company paid them $ 3300 to do the job. They took a month to finish it. I went to pick up my car. Dennis. s Auto Body is in the country. Wind was blowing dirt and dust onto my car as a guy was buffing it out. (I am no body shop expert but I don’t think dirt and dust is good for polishing a car.) My car paint had swirl marks in it. I took it back to get re-​buffed, but the damage was done.
Here comes the good part! My paint started to de-​lamainate (come off) after two years. It started on the roof. I took it in to be repaired and they fixed just the roof. Then it started to spread to other pannels of the car. I took it back. They would only repair the pannels that showed de-​lamination. I took it back five times until they did the whole car. (kind of). Now it is de-​laminating on the only part they Jewed out on. The spoiler. I did not mention many initial paint flaws, like drips, runs, and general unprofessionalsim. There was even an ant sprayed into the paint! My car was in that place a total of about ten times. I eventually gave up, and my car still sits with a messed up spoiler. If you are thinking of taking your car to Dennis’s Body Shop. DON“T. Save yourself head aches, time, and a poor paint job!
