Vista auto body was the best decision I have ever made for my car. Mike and his team work super hard on fixing the damages on my car and provided the best customer service. I drove out of that shop with a car that looks brand new. The outside and interior of my car was SPOTLESS! and the damages that were made to my car from a recent car accident is fix up REAL NICE! I had a hard time with the person that was at fault, their insurance and my insurance that Mike put his all in really pressuring the insurances and now my car is back on the road looking good as ever. Communication was EXCELLENT! and this will be my number 1 spot if I have to come back again and I will most definitely recommend this business to anyone and everyone I know.

Brought in my car for an insurance repair after reading some great reviews, and above and beyond would be an understatement for the service I received. From the beginning, Mike was able to get me in for repairs quick, dealt and fought with the responsible insurance party directly, and kept me updated throughout the entire process. I picked up my car better than it was before the accident. Even had to bring it later on for a separate emergency repair, and Mike squeezed me in same day and got it done within a couple of hours. Honest, thorough, and excellent work, all in a family owned business. Service that's rare to find these days. Much appreciated Mike, Tony, and the entire team at Vista Auto Body.

Vista Autobody went above and beyond to fix my car. I got in a minor fender bender and my insurance tried to do the repair as cheaply as possible. Mike and his team fought for me, meeting with my insurance agent three times until they felt that the repairs were sufficient enough to make my car safe to drive. There was great communication throughout the process. On top of all that when I got my car back, it was so clear there was a lot of pride in the work. The paint job was impeccable, the roof which had been peeling paint was all cleaned up (not part of the damage site) and they even detailed the interior - my car has never been so clean! Most things you pay for these days are so transactional, it s so nice when someone surprises you by making you feel truly taken care of. This was my first experience with them and I would not only go back but also highly recommend to anyone.

Professional shop, especially Mike being easy to work with. He showed patience in dealing with the insurance company as they drug their feet on approving increase in payouts required for completion of work. The car looks great on the exterior and even the work other than cosmetic

Just got my 2006 Toyota Tundra back from Vista Auto Body & Mechanic yesterday and I felt I was driving in a brand-new truck. Mike and his team did an outstanding job and I was impressed how quickly and how much detail was done on the truck. This is my second time coming here and I am still overwhelmed by their expertise on the job they perform. If I could give them more stars I would give them a 10 with no hesitation. I guarantee you will also be impressed!! Thank you Mike and Vista Auto team.Services: Painting, Body & Trim

I have now taken 2 vehicles of mine to the guys at Vista Auto and they somehow continue to surprise me more and more each visit. A random large object flew off another car in front of and slammed into my hood & quarter panel. Tony & Mike were crystal clear on what was ideal vs what was necessary in order to get it back to normal, without breaking my wallet or raising my insurance. They took the car & within a couple days returned the vehicle as good as new, but it was also detailed and vacuumed better than any of the local car washes I frequent (even though it rained!). Hands down the best service I've gotten anywhere in as long as I can remember. I just wish I had a bigger project for them to do for me cause they've had some really cool custom cars there the last 2 times I've been.

I was looking for an auto shop to get my car fixed after an accident and I came across Vista Auto Body & Mechanic. They had solid reviews so I decided to call them. I spoke to Mike and I was able to drop off my vehicle the same day. During the drop off, they asked for information such as insurance company and the claim number. Going forward they dealt with all the correspondence with the insurance company directly which as a customer is great so you aren't the middle man between the shop and the insurance company. They did a fantastic shop fixing the vehicle and even detailed it, returning my car in immaculate condition. I would highly recommend to anyone needing body shop to go here!!!

These guys are top notch. Took care of the car damages on my front bumper, everything is snug and well done. Turn around time for parts is all you gotta wait for and it is well worth the wait for the work that gets done.They even added a full detail. Vacuumed, brushed, scrubbed, polished the paint. The car looks brand new. Smells brand new too.Highly recommend these guys. Thanks Mike and crew!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Mike to fix my car, and I have to say, they did an outstanding job. The team at Vista Auto Body went above and beyond to make sure my car looked almost brand new when they were done with it.What stood out to me about this auto body shop was how friendly and accommodating the staff was. Every time I had an issue with my insurance, they took care of it, making the whole process much easier. They really went the extra mile to ensure I was at ease throughout the process.Not only did they fix the damages on my car, but they also did some additional detailing work that made my car look better than before it was hit. I was truly impressed with their attention to detail and dedication to quality work.I highly recommend Vista Auto Body Shop and Mechanic for anyone looking for exceptional auto body work. They have the nicest staff who are committed to delivering the best possible results. Thank you, Vista Auto Body & Mechanic, for exceeding my expectations and making my car look like new again.

Brought my Tacoma in for some major bodywork along the side panel. Mike helped get me a killer deal on the work and the quality was top notch. The paint color was a perfect match and they were able to reshape the body lines on the existing panel to save me money on a new door.Quality work. Good people.Highly recommend.Service: Body & Trim

After having some issues with my bumper, I called Vista Auto Body & Mechanic on a Friday morning after a quick google search and reading a few reviews. Mike was able to get me in within literal minutes, and upon arrival, they were able and happy to help with my tight timeline and get me back on the road asap. Staff was welcoming, quick, and thorough!I highly recommend Vista Auto Body & Mechanic to anyone, whether you re in the area, or travelling through. Thank you, Mike!Service: Body & Trim

This is actually the second time we have used Vista autobody and mechanic. The first time was a few years ago when my daughter got rear-ended in her Mazda3. This time I was rear-ended in my brand-new Ford Maverick pick up truck with less than 3000 miles on it! I brought it to them for my repairs as well. Once again, top-notch repairs and service with a very fast turnaround. I can t recommend this body shop highly enough.Services: Painting, Body & Trim

I've taken both of my vehicles to Mike at Vista Auto Body & Mechanic, and I've had a great experience each time. Mike is really personable and the process of working with him and his shop goes very smooth. Whether it's through phone or email, communication with the shop is effective and timely. Mike seems to put the customer's interests and needs first. Mike and his shop are people you can trust. If I ever need some more work on my vehicles in the future, I will definitely come back.Services: Painting, Body & Trim

Probably the best experience I have had with any car related service. I picked Vista Auto Body based on previous reviews and was not disappointed. I emailed them some photos of the damage I wanted repaired and had an estimate back within 24 hours. I dropped the car off on a Wednesday and picked it up the following Tuesday. Though I only needed two doors sanded and repainted they waxed the whole car and shined my rims, really going above and beyond. Fast, professional, easy to work with, and great communicators. Give them your business.Services: Painting, Body & Trim

Awesome experience working with Mike to get my car fixed after a hit and run. My car had to be in the shop for a few weeks and Mike was on top of things, keeping me updated throughout the whole process. He took the time to explain everything going on, my repair options, and how it would play out with my insurance. The car came out looking and driving great. Felt like I was being helped by a good friend the whole time. Solid team of friendly guys providing quality service and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.Services: Painting, Body & Trim
