101 Auto Body

I came here when my tail light got broken in a minor accident. I came to the shop, and Tony was very willing to take time to check out my car, and give me an excellent, affordable quote. The repair job was speedy, reliable, and professional. He runs his shop very well, and I’d recommend this place to anyone who needs a quick fix on their car!

My wife scraped up her old 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee. She needed a new fender, bumper, and passenger headlight assembly. Given the age of the car, we did not carry collision insurance, and were not looking to pour a lot of money into the car for repairs. After getting a $ 3,300+ estimate from a body shop on the Eastside, we began thinking about buying a new car.
We found 101 on Unilocal and based on the reviews, we figured we should get a quote from them before giving up on the Jeep. I brought it over on a Tuesday morning, they immediately offered an estimate, and their total was almost exactly $ 1,000 less than the other shop’s for similar aftermarket parts. In comparing the estimates, the other place was gouging us on parts (300% markup in some cases) while 101 was basically quoting list prices that I found on the internet. Needless to say, we came here.
We dropped the car off on a Monday, and picked it up on a Friday — a day later than their original quote but I was fine with that since they let us know. As far as I can tell, the quality of the work is very good. The paint job is very close, but not an exact match to the adjacent panels (he mentioned his son forgot to fully blend the new paint into the existing hood). This was fine with us since we’d rather save the money than pay to fix a cosmetic issue on a 14 year old car… so that saved about $ 100 off the original estimate.
Overall, 101 Auto Body was exactly what we were looking for. The work was very good, done inexpensively, and turned around quickly. If the insurance company was paying, I’d probably take it somewhere closer to where I live, but this is a great place if you’re looking to fix your car out of pocket.

My previous review was 5 stars. There’s no provision for 6 but I think they deserve at least another one.
The reason for granting 6 stars is:
I requested all the scratches etc. be removed in preparation for selling my beloved, high end car. (I use it too little to justify insurance and license cost.) After the repair I found tiny pin prick spots that remained from a deep scratch. It was undoubtedly nit picky to ask them to fix it but they did not object. I was amazed. No fuss. They were nice about it— very willing to make it right. And when I picked the car up it was perfect. The only place better than 101 would be one that paid me for the privilege of doing the repair job.

I got into a fender bender with my friend’s car — a 1972 BMW. The initial quote we got from another body shop was $ 3,800 which included replacing all the parts (which come special order from Germany). 101 Auto Body (Nam) quoted us less than half the amount by doing a combination of replacing parts with doing restoration repairs on the rest. They did an AWESOME job! It looks like new! Highly recommend 101 Auto Body for excellent service and work and very reasonable rates!

I needed to find a place that was affordable, as well as fast. I was pleasantly surprised. It was very apparent that this father and son company was not worried about running an upscale business; they just wanted to provide excellent service at a fair cost.
I went to 3 total places for estimates, and if was quoted $ 2011 at one place, $ 1800 at another, and I was only charged $ 1173 at 101 Autobody! They also only worked in my car for one full day, and it was available for pick up the next.
I’ve been telling my friends that I’ll definitely go back… of course, they advised me to try and avoid having to visit an autobody shop ever again; however, I am glad to know I found a place I can depend on for a good job, at a good cost.

I got into a fender bender (my fault) and had the front bumper of my 2001 Ford Ranger looking pretty banged up, practically falling off the fender. I also had my left blinker light broken from a past scraping (not my fault), I had just been too reluctant to spend the money to fix it. It’s my beater truck, but I love it so.
I came to 101 Auto Body on a recommendation from a friend and from the 6 five-​start reviews I saw on Unilocal.I am here to enthusiastically deliver the 7^th five-​star review. The owner’s name is Nam and he is a soft-​spoken, professional man who will explain all the pertinent points of the repair to you with a heavy South Korean accent, but all the politeness and charm that comes with it. He gave me two quotes: one to fix just my bumper, and one to fix my bumper, the blinker light and a cracked grill. I opted for the quote just to fix the bumper (Less expensive and, again, it’s a beater truck). After 4 days, I received a call that it was ready to pick up. It was a Thursday and I was unable to get a ride there until Monday, so I picked it up on Monday.
I arrived to see my bumper looking as solid and sturdy as it had been before my incident and, much to my surprise, the blinker light being replaced. I was a bit put-​off because I know I hadn’t ordered the blinker light to be repaired and wasn’t looking forward to the extra charge. Upon entering the office, I asked Nam how it went. He proceeded to tell me that there were 4 attachments that secured my bumper to my truck. He only needed to repair 2 of them and did so, saving me $ 20. He could have told me he had to repair all 4 and I would have believed him without a second thought, but he didn’t, he was honest about the work that was done. He continued on to say that he included the blinker light free of charge. I didn’t expect that at all and offered to pay. He courteously refused the offer and continued on running through my paperwork and I left in an upbeat mood, feeling that a very even exchange just took place. Perhaps I even came out on the better end of the deal, due to Nam’s generosity.
I highly recommend this establishment. You’ll get a fair quote, attentive service and honest follow-​through. Thank you, Nam!

101 Auto Body had the lowest price of 4 places that I got quotes from, so I let them work on my VW Golf. Great service, car was done on time and it looked better than it did before my accident!

Brought my GTI here to get the driver side fender and headlight assembly replaced after a small accident. The shop was quick with the estimate (no appointment required) and the lowest quoted price of the four shops I went to (one guy quoted me 3x the amount that 101 Auto Body did! CRAZY!).
I asked them to order parts on Monday, dropped off the car Tuesday around 1pm and had my car back by 1pm that same Friday. Work was terrific, the paint was flawless and the cost was just as they had quoted me.
Fantastic work + quick turn around + lowest cost = best body shop!
I noticed a couple days later that the light in the head lamp was shaking a little, so I called them to inquire. They told me they would order new parts, not to worry about cost since it was covered under their warranty, and to bring it in when it was best for me. I told them I’d bring it by the next day. They fixed it within a half hour while I waited. Good as new!
Great service, awesome work, and very good prices! Thank you!
The location is also very convenient, right off Aurora and 100^th. There is a Hertz on 145^th that I took used, and took the bus to pick up and drop off the rental. Awesome!
I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place and have already told my friends to take their cars here!

I’ve brought several of my cars in to 101 Auto Body for repairs over the past 10+ years. (I know, I stink at driving.). My current car just came back from them today with the perfect finish that I’ve come to expect from them. They give you reasonable estimates, always complete their jobs on time (or even before the scheduled completion date), and help you feel better with their smiles and friendly atmosphere.
Highly recommended.
