Kennedy Auto Body & Paint

Great place. Nice people, easy process, quality work. What else do you need? There is even a cute dog !!!

I had put off fixing my bumper and fender because I thought the whole process would be a hassle. But with my insurance company helping me (AAA) and Kennedy Auto Body highly recommended and just a short drive from my home, I finally decided to get my truck fixed. James at Kennedy is great. He’s thorough, friendly, a great communicator about the process and timing — and he helped me get a rental car easily — with pick up and drop off right at the Body Shop. All the staff with whom I interacted with at Kennedy were friendly and helpful. The whole experience was pleasant and smooth. Best of all, my truck looks like new. Thanks Kennedy!

I was rear ended a few weeks ago and my insurance carrier recommended a few auto body shops in the area, so I went with Kennedy since a few of the others, I’ve heard mixed reviews. Kennedy Auto Body is an awesome shop. I’ve been hit maybe 3 times in my life and never have I come across a body shop that portrayed excellent customer services, friendliness, welcomeness and professionalism throughout the entire process. From the time Ray picked up the phone until pick up. The team there is all great, Ray is awesome as well as his associates. They even have a dog in the office, super friendly and cute. The service was prompt and they did a fantastic job. Very pleased with the service, smooth process and finished product. I would highly recommend this place for repairs or even touching up. Thanks, Kennedy!

I haven’t even had my car fixed yet but I already know that it will be a five star experience. Ray was very kind today giving me my estimate. He had no problem explaining this whole process to me as this is my first accident that I need to get anything fixed. I really appreciate his patience. He is ordering the parts and said that my car will be ready in a week or so. Pretty good turn around rate.
I strongly encourage you to check out this shop, even if it is for an estimate only. But I will tell you, you will not find someone nicer, more accommodating, better priced.

I was sent here by AAA after someone rear-​ended me. They made the estimate and work process as smooth as possible. I wasn’t the one paying, thanks to insurance, so I can’t analyze the costs but the service and friendliness were great. They struck me as very helpful and honest. Car looks good, too!

I went to Kennedy after they were recommended by Redwood General tire to look at a difficult alignment problem with my car stemming from an accident. Ray and his technician Manny spent a considerable amount of time looking over my car and tracking down the source of a subtle problem. It may not be worth repairing, so I tried to pay him for his time diagnosing the car, but he wouldn’t take it. I left really impressed with Ray’s honesty and his level of expertise. I’ll definitely trust them with this repair if I decide to do it, or with a future repair.

If my dad (biggest car enthusiast I know) could comfortably bring his beloved Porsche here to have the whole thing re-​painted, I knew I could trust them with my Ford Focus.
I recently had an incident with a child scraping the side of my car with their scooter leaving my new car with a scratch all the way through the paint. I was basically left with no choice, I had to get both my back door and front door repainted so that they would blend, and unfortunately I was also going through an insurance fight to get the responsible party to pay for the damage.
I am SO beyond happy that I took my car here. The whole process was extremely stressful, because I was working, going to school and had to have a rental car; but the staff and Kennedy Auto Body made it so much smoother. Their work is top notch, they did it in exactly the time quoted, and they even fixed some minor scratches/​dents with no extra cost.
I also brought in 2 other estimates and they competed, and ended up being the lowest one. When all of the work was done, the cost was more than the estimate, but that is likely to happen because they realize they need more parts, materials, etc.
If you really care about your car and the way it looks, bring it here! You won’t regret it. P. S. Ray helped me, and he is awesome, funny, and very knowledgable.

I came here about a year ago. Don’t know why it took me so long to write a review but I always said I would because of the service I received. A dump truck smashed the front of my car (Lexus IS250) and I needed to get my entire front grill, hood, lights, etc. fixed. They did an amazing job and we’re so friendly. James and Ray make you feel like you’re dealing with family. They really go above and beyond to help with whatever you need. I highly recommend them to anyone.

I had a fantastic experience with Kennedy Auto Body! James was both personable and knowledgeable, not something you expect in a body shop! He able to make the process as painless as possible and kept me updated on the progress of my repair. My car was ready when promised and looks like a new car. Not only was the outside detailed, but they also detailed the inside of the car without being asked! I couldn’t be happier and will only bring my cars to Kennedy Auto in the future!

TRUST. That’s what this place brings to the table. Sure, you can probably find someplace cheaper, but that comes with a lot of doubt. «Are they experience mechanics?» «Are they skilled enough?» «Do they care about my car or just want to make the fastest buck?» «Will they cut corners and risk safety and workmanship?» If the most important thing in a business transaction is trust, then you should bring your car here.
I’ve had the best service and experience here than any other garage or auto related business ever (except maybe the Interstate Battery place down the street). This place is also an Authorized AAA shop so I brought my car here after being rear ended. It didn’t look that bad but it was definitely major in terms of body damage since both the rear quarter panels and the entire trunk section needed to be replaced or worked on. I literally begged them to repair my car since my insurance might not fix it based on the car’s value.
The car has less than 61K miles for a 2007 and almost 95% of it were highway miles. This was my car that I’ve been doing routine maintenance on since I bought it with synthetic fluids, best filters, and replacing everything before I really needed to. It’s in perfect shape mechanically and only a few dings and scratches cosmetically. It was also a 6 speed sedan with 4-​wheel steering so it’d be very difficult to find another one.
They took a look, worked on getting the estimate down to what the insurance would likely approve and got started working. That’s when they saw the frame damage next to my rear suspension housing. That blew the estimate out of the water. So they couldn’t fix my car but they worked with AAA and did everything to help me lay the car to rest while I got the maximum value for the vehicle. If Jesus broke down, he would bring his car here… not that he needs to since he’s Jesus and all but if he needed to…

Highly recommend! James is professional, pleasant and passionate about cars and treats every care that comes in as if it were his own. My daughter recently had a crash in her 2005 bimmer and James went the extra mile to make a repair option as reasonable as he could for her. We have used his services several times over the years as we have multiple vehicles– we have never been anything but extremely pleased and love that he is a preferred repair business for AAA as well as other insurers. If you haven’t been to Kennedy– it is a very positive experience.

James is the owner and he is great. I would recommend them to anyone who needs the car repaired. They are a busy but efficient operation. AAA referred me there so I was a little skeptical… however, they are great. He even picked me up at the airport.

This is the best and only place I go to get my car fixed! Have had a couple minor accidents and they help make the process as quick and painless as possible. Quick, attentive to detail, fast estimates, and help with all the insurance business is a major plus! James is extremely helpful and nice and everyone always has a good attitude around there. My car was beautiful and even washed when I drove it away after having it fixed. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to get their car repaired.

Excellent service! James is very honest with the various options for the repair available to us. The car was fixed to our satisfaction. We left with a big smile and heartfelt thanks.

These guys are THE BEST! I am usually very picky and don’t bother writing reviews, but for them I had too. My annoying insurance was giving me a hard time and weren’t doing what they were supposed to do. So the guys at Kennedy’s made some calls a little while later I was dropping my car off to be fixed and they arranged a rental to come pick me up. Finally my insurance did what I had been begging them to do. I’m SO grateful! The guys at Kennedy’s are amazing, diligent, honest, and very helpful! I would go on, but I’m sure you get the picture. Hard to find people like this anymore, glad there are some nice guys left like Ray and James! Thank you guys!

Kennedy’s did a great job painting my Camaro. If I have any future issue’s I know who I will take my car too.

I walked away from Kennedy Auto, with what felt like a new car.
Along with a clean car, Kennedy Auto not only fixed what they said they would but did little extras like cleaning the headlights and polishing up the rear window.
I have a 1999 BMW that I rarely drive and am looking for new auto insurance
James gave some excellent advice what to fix and even what kind of policy is good for me for my car.
Working with James, he was extremely helpful in helping me understand how the three parties can work together and make it easy for me.
I live in San Francisco and it was well worth the trip to Redwood City.

I’m usually weary of car repairmen for as a female, I feel I’m sometimes treated as if I am ignorant of cars. However, these guys are amazing! They not only did a great job on my vehicle, but also repaired it in a timely manner. At the time, I was working with budget constraints and they worked hard to find the most cost effective manner in which to fix my car. Every individual I dealt with was kind and respectful. They spent a lot of time out their schedule not only answering all my questions, but went out of their way to educate me about cars in general.

Love these guys — I’ve been going here for over 10 years — they fixed several of my cars — always friendly, professional and fairly priced — can’t go wrong with Kennedy!

Kennedy Auto Body&Paint,
is not only my one and only Body shop, but also a Family. They make me feel absolutely welcome and they keep me happy for 5 years now. When I just moved to the US It was so hard to know where to go and what to do if something happens. James, the owner, helped me with not only fixing my car but also with picking the right insurance, calling the lawyers, paying my first ticket online! I can call James regarding any questions and i will have an answer right away! Love that team and especially Little Roxy, that makes my day every time I stop by at Kennedy body shop!
