Sichel’s Autobody

Wow, I’m impressed. All those 5-​star ratings are for good reason. These guys are tops. For years I had taken my Lexus to the dealer for body repair. But no more! I got a MUCH better price from Sichel’s. They are friendly and courteous, did what they said, in the time frame they said. The workmanship was second-​to-​none. What more can I say? Please be assured I am a normal customer, have no association to Sichel’s or anyone who works there. So yes, this is an honest review.

I have never written a review but felt compelled to do so after my experience with Ron at Sichel’s Autobody. My old, trusty car was in an an accident and sustained extensive body damage. Ron worked with me and went above and beyond not only to understand the extent of the damage, but also to give me honest and straightforward advice. He could have taken my money but he felt that it was in my best interest to scrap the car. He spent quite a bit of time with me on multiple phone calls and while I am very sad to see the car go, I am incredibly grateful to Ron for his help. Hopefully I won’t need a body shop on my next car any time soon but if I do, I’ll be sure to go to Sichel’s.

We were rear ended at a stoplight and the impact drove the car forward into a small truck. Needless to say, the car was damaged at both ends! We took it to Sichel’s Autobody upon a personal recommendation for the repair. Michael did all the work for us dealing with the insurance company of the person who ran into us, getting them to approve all expenses and the use of original equipment replacement parts. It could not have been easier for us. When we picked up the car we were shocked — it looked like new. Sichel’s did an amazing job on the bodywork, paint and even detailing. We highly recommend Sichel’s.

Great job, ALWAYS followed up on progress when they say they would. Very thorough and professional.
Truck is like new.
Thank you, Sichel’s!

Sichel’s does incredible work. The concept of giving customers the best quality work is rare and refreshing.

Amazing. I have never had such great service and fantastic advice in regards to our truck. Top notch. You can’t go wrong with Sichel’s!

I had my 2010 charger fixed their after a car accsident. They are amazing, I will definitely go back their again.

I came to Sichel’s Auto Body for work on my 350Z. My neighbor had backed into my car, and the bumper was damaged, and a headlight cracked.
Mike was very courteous and polite, even though we came by almost at close. He continued to be friendly and helpful, even while we stopped by almost daily to check on things, and even after we asked for additional work on side projects. The rest of their staff was also helpful, and nobody seemed to mind our constant presence.
Mike was able to work with the insurance company to get me the best deal that he could.
I will always recommend them for any repair work. Hopefully, I won’t need any more repairs done for my car, but here’s where I’ll go if I do.

I have had to use Sichel’s on 2 separate occasions. 1 for a classic 55 truck. And one for a 2006 mitsubishi. On both occasions I received the best, most friendly help and service possible. Between the great communication with Michael, to getting a tour of the facility of where my vehicle would be taken care of, to seamless handling with insurance. The work on the cars was impeccable despite the difficulty in matching custom paint on a hot rod. You will not go wrong using Sichels.

I don’t Unilocal much, but I had to express what a great experience I’ve had. Working with these guys was a pleasure. Very professional and helpful. Great Shop.

Thank you so much to the crew at Sichel’s!
The service is top notch; everyone is incredibly friendly and communicative. They took care of all the insurance stuff (Michael was even able to squeeze a couple of extra things out of them!), got me into a rental car within 20 minutes of dropping my car off and kept me up to date on everything that was happening — total piece of mind.
My car looks fabulous and it drives a million times better than it did before my accident.
5 stars, enough said.

It really was a great experience. Working with Michael was a pleasure. True professional and very helpful. He made working with the ins. companies a lot easier. Highly recommend this shop.

When you click 5 stars to rate a business, the text «Woohoo! As good as it gets!» appears along side the rating. I couldn’t agree more.
We had an accident with a good bit of front end damage. Initially the insurance company wanted to total the vehicle but as we had just purchased it after a lengthy search I didn’t want to have to find another one. Mike heard my concerns and worked with the insurance company and appraiser to make it all work out for us. Even when additional damage was found he fought hard to make us happy.
I know in the end they didn’t make a lot of money off this job because of all the time they put in but they still went ahead and did a couple of minor quick fixes that weren’t even related to the accident.
Their shop is clean and well organized and everything about the experience made me feel confident that I was in the right place. I found them on Unilocal and wanted to pass on another great rating for them.

Customer service at its finest. Michael is immediately disarming and walked me through everything that would be done and what to expect. I left my vehicle with Sichel’s feeling educated about what they were going to do to fix my car, and they performed both on time and did a fantastic job.
Sichel’s goes the extra mile in both customer service and the repair. I couldn’t be happier with my experience.

I was stuck in stop and go traffic on that stretch of freeway between Novato and Petaluma when a young motorcyclist slammed into the back of me going about 40 mph and went sailing through the air. Thankfully he ended up being ok, but he did some damage to my car to say the least. It was seriously the last thing I wanted to deal with. I went home and immediately looked on Unilocal to see what was around and I found Sichel’s. Although they are not the closest autobody shop to where I live, I figured a good job is worth any drive. I’m so glad I came here. My car is only 2 years old, but it truly looks better than the day I bought it. My insurance company called and the woman who did the estimate said that she thought I chose a great place and based on her experience (which is a lot) these guys knew what they were doing, and no, they were not on my insurance companies «recommendation» list.
Their communication was excellent. I always knew what stage my car was progressing through and what I should expect next. I never felt out of the loop. My car is the most expensive possession I own and they made me feel totally safe and secure handing her over to them… yes, it’s a she. When the day came to get her back she had been amazingly detailed as well, which was an added perk that I wasn’t expecting. As anyone with a black car knows, when it’s cleaned and detailed, it looks like a million bucks.
As much as I hope I don’t have to come back to Sichel’s anytime soon because of another accident, I wouldn’t hesitate to call them again and will recommend them to everyone I know. My little car is a trooper and they made her look as great as she is! Thank you so much guys!

Found them based on Unilocal — and they lived up to their recommendations 100%
Worked with Mike the GM and he was very accommodating.
It was a small fender bender where someone hit me, but didn’t want to go over the limit that would raise their insurance rates. So Mike worked w. the guy so that he kept his insurance premium down and let him pay the (small)difference out of pocket.
They did excellent work on my bumper, and not only detailed my car in and out, but buffed out a few spots unrelated to the incident and helped me with a problem I had w. a rubber mount on my trunk –giving me free double sided tape, razor and special chemical treated wipe and showed me how to do it-​all free!
Excellent work and outstanding customer service.
Will definitely use them in the future and highly recommend them.
Thanks Sichel!

I can’t imagine having a better experience with an auto body shop.
Ron and Mike were perfect. As long as this shop is in business, I will never take my car anywhere else. And I’m a car enthusiast that is very fussy.
These guys are knowledgeable, friendly and professional. They kept us posted every step of the way. They went the extra mile to get us OEM parts. And our car looks perfect.
The bottom line is that they made getting our car repaired as painless as possible AND delivered excellent results. Who could ask for anything more?

Over the past four years, my 2008 Honda had collected a number of battle scars – either from people who scratched it in parking lots or the underside of the front area that scrapes the road if I don’t remember to approach a driveway incline at a snail’s pace.
In any case, enough damage had been done that I decided it was time for a face lift, so I took my car to Sichel’s. I am so glad I did! From the moment of arrival, the service was friendly, professional and helpful. I didn’t feel like I was getting the bum’s rush toward a high price. This mattered, since I was paying for this work out of pocket.
When I got the car back, it was done as promised at the price I was promised. But it gets better. They did more work than they promised, fixing some stuff for free and buffing out some scratches that weren’t part of the original deal.
The best part was the quality. My four-​year-​old car looks brand new! The color matching was expertly done, and the detailing was superb. It hasn’t been that clean since I bought it!
I really had the sense that this place cares more about its reputation than just collecting my money, and that’s the kind of people I want to do business with.
Well done, Sichel’s!

My brother John is a Camaro Parts guy. He replaced and renovated his first Camaro when we were still in high school. I trust him when it come to cars. When I had my car repaired (a tree fell on it) he gave me some specific things to look for when reviewing the work. The work done at Sichel’s is exactly the best quality. The customer service is caring and professional. They even cleaned my car and made it feel like new. If you take your car to Sichel’s you can expect excellent quality work to a standard the best.

They did again…
I had a FedEx truck hit my driver side door while driving on 580 in Oakland
The truck peeled the metal back on door of my Blacke BMW — like a sardine can.
Seriously.
Took it to Sichel’s and dropped it off.
They hooked me up with a rental car — right then and there.
Got a call 2 weeks later for pick up.
When I arrive the car was in pristine condition.
What can I say???
Another great job by these folks.
Don’t fool researching Sonoma County Body shops!
Just go to Sichel’s
I am a extremely picky customer and I won’t go anywhere else.
