Gamboa’s Body & Frame

I needed to have a broken taillight replaced so I got four estimates. All the other body shops except Gamboa’s told me they would have to remove the bumper to replace the light. NOT TRUE! Gamboa’s got the part after market (saving me some money), replaced the taillight in just 15 minutes, and even touched up some scratches at no charge. I was so happy that it was a simple, quick fix and will definitely go back to them if I ever (God forbid!) need more body work.

Unfortunately, my car was involved in a hit and run and caused substantial damage to the bumper. This turned was quite a stressful situation to deal with, but Gamboa’s made this really easy on me. I was able to take pictures of my car and send an estimate online and Ken got back to me right away. Ken did a great job following up with me and calling my insurance company to make sure I had rental car coverage and the whole bit. I took my car in and a rental was there waiting for me. Ken kept in touch with me several times throughout the week and when I came to pick my car up it looked better than it did before it was even in the accident! I would recommend Gamboa’s to anyone! They turned a nightmare of a situation into a bearable one.

Our 2007 Hyundai Sante Fe has had a peeling paint problem for several years. The dealer refused to fix the problem as the warranty had expired. Tom Rosier examined the car and determined there was a manufacturing defect in the factory-​applied paint coat. I took his information to the local Hyundai dealer and — after a review at the national customer service level — Hyundai agreed to fix the problem at no cost to us. Gamboa’s Body & Frame in Sacramento did an excellent job in repainting the car. This was our second experience with Gamboa’s and we’ve been very pleased both times.

Worst Crook Ever!!! Be careful took such avenge of the insurance company!!! Charged to get a car out for a FREE estaminet. $ 900.00 Then left paint marks all over the car!!! Ray was rude and was caught in TWO lies!!! Tried to talk to RAY and was on break and was busy and never would return a call. DO NOT take your car here!!!

I recently moved to the sacramento area and wasn’t sure where to take my vehicle to get fixed after I got in a hit and run accident. I was so upset someone would hit my baby (truck) and just take off! I checked out a few other body shops but Gamboas was the obvious choice! Ray was so helpful and I trusted his opinion right away. He treated me like family and walked me through the entire process with insurance and a rental car. He made sure to include me on the repair/​parts process the whole way through. Ray and the team at Gamboas made a bummer accident such a breeze to get fixed! My truck is better than brand new! The job was done quickly, but made sure to be perfect before return! I hope no one deals with rude drivers like I did, but for that and many other auto body needs Gamboas is the place to go.

I brought my truck to gamboas November 17 to get fixed after a front end collision. It took them over 2 months to get the repairs made. Finally after many promises of the truck being done sooner I got the truck back. When i opened the hood there was some radiator fluid that was visible. I asked the technician why that was there. He simply said «it rained the other day its probably just some water from that». I checked the radiator fluid and saw that there was nothing in the radiator. When the technician put fluid in the vehicle it started leaking all over the parking lot. I asked them if this is normal and they said that usually they check all fluids and test drive before returning the car. They were very embarrassed.
Two weeks go by and Gamboa’s calls me to let me know that the radiator has been repaired and my truck is ready for pick up. After i picked my truck up i went for a test drive. My check engine light was on, the truck pulled hard to the right and there were many new sounds that were not there originally. I took my truck to future ford where it has been serviced its entire life. They found a laundry list of stuff that had not been completed by gamboas. Some of which could have eventually been fatal to the truck and not guaranteed by Gamboas.
I would not recommend anybody to boring their vehicle into this shop for any type of repair. Very unprofessional.

It’s always a bummer when one is in an accident. These people treat you like family, excellent customer service and the nicest people around. Ray got me an estimate that was $ 300 less than my other estimate (K******), so that it was less than my deductible. I didn’t have to submit a claim so my insurance premium didn’t go up. My car was ready the very next day with a brand new bumper and they buffed out some scratches on the rear bumper at no charge. Beth had a rental car for me for $ 19.99/day since my insurance didn’t cover it which was cheaper than A*** and E**********. I would definitely recommend them and I will be coming back if I ever need more auto body repair. These people are amazing. It’s like the commercial «It’s as if it never happened».

All I can say is WoW!!! Gamboas body and frame took such good care of our car we couldn’t have been happier with the results, they did not only fix the damages caused by the accident but went above and beyond and found other problems and took care of them As well :) our Lexus is 250 looks factory new !!

I’m impressed!
Washing and waxing my wife’s Altima I found some scratches on the left rear fender (grocery cart?). Took it to the body shop that I’d done business with for a lot of years here in Sacramento (large shop with more than one location) and I got a $ 575 estimate. With a $ 500 deductable, I wasn’t happy… the insurance company says it’s collison and not comprehensive.
My insurance asked me to take it to Gamboa’s Auto Body on D St. in Sac. I did, last evening. The estimator came out and looked at it. He said that’s not through your clear coat… it’s just paint transfer and should wipe right off. He got some acetone (he said alcohol would do the same thing) and a microfiber and spent about five minutes rubbing on it. I can’t see where there was every anything on that fender!
INTEGRITY! That’s what I found at Gamboa’s and that’s where I’ll be going in the future any time me or my wife needs a paint and body shop! I can see why this shop has 5 star ratings on Unilocal

The front desk ladies were both helpful, quick and polite. I received great service and great communication regarding the progress of my vehicle! Highly recommended.

I brought my car here after getting into a fender bender. Ken was wonderful about getting back to me promptly with my estimate and giving me updates throughout the week. My car was even ready ahead of schedule!
I can’t really comment about the price of the repairs, as my car insurance picked up the bill. However, can say that I was shocked when I came in to pick up my car and found it looking better than I remember it looking when it was new (and it’s an ’04). I couldn’t have asked for better service or results!

I got into a minor fender bender, and got Gamboa’s recommended to me by an acquaintance. I’m really picky about body shops– particularly after seeing pictures of other’s completed results with orange peel in the paint and other imperfections. At Gamboas, you can relax and know that when your car comes out of paint it will be top notch. I have one of the difficult paint colors to match (Subaru’s Plasma blue pearl) and they did a phenomenal job on the finish. Ken– the manager had originally told me the car could be picked up but called me back 30 mins later saying he had found some imperfections in the paint, and to give them another day. I really appreciated the way he was honest and on top of it.
On close inspection of the paint– I noticed that it was even better than the OEM paint on my car. The paint looked completely smooth where the OEM looked like it had some texture to the paint. All in all I’m very happy with their work and will definitely have them do the body work on my cars (hopefully not!)

Even though having a smashed car sucks, this place is a beacon of hope that your car can be restored to it’s factory condition.
Over a year ago my Subaru’s front bumper and headlight were smashed by a ditzy driver and needed fixing. Some touch-​up paint to the fender was also needed.
The receptionist was extremely helpful and was responsive to inquires and phone calls. She made sure I got picked up by Enterprise shortly after my estimate.
The cost of repairs seemed fair, but I wasn’t responsible for the collision and it was being paid for by another driver’s insurance company; thus I didn’t care what the costs would be.
They were able to fix up my car a day sooner than they estimated. It was shiny, polished and smiling when I got it back.
The repair and service came with some sort of warranty that I haven’t had to read over since my repairs were so excellent.
Hopefully I don’t have to use an auto body shop anytime soon, but if I do, it will be with Gamboa’s.
