I brought my vehicle to So-cal auto body for some minor repairs. Mr. Brand is absolutely amazing. He answered all my question and dealt with my insurance company. If you need any repairs or paint work on your vehicle, this is the place to go! My vehicle looks better than the day I purchased it!

Very bad experience, BEWARE, BEWARE, SoCal auto body/Robbie Brand accepted my 1957 Chevy custom, for a complete paint job, in September of 2013. After requesting a deposit to get started, $2,000.00 my car was left outside with the windows down. (I was told it would be inside with his race cars) I was told work was underway multiple times.
I made a personal visit in Dec 2014 to give Robbie a chance for me to just pick the car up, but again more promises that they would be starting on it right away. Finally after another 7 months, and Facebook posts of other cars being finished, I decided to go pickup my car (almost 2 years after I took it there). I have posted pictures of the condition my car was in, and besides a broken passenger window/battery switch left on -ruined the optima battery, and my NEWLY black chrome powder coated rims have body shop waste and hard water all over them, - the pics speak for themselves.
I run a business of my own, and if I treated my customers like this, I would be out of business.
P.S. - still waiting for my $2000.00 deposit to be returned, got a smart ass remark about seeing how much storage charges have accrued. My recommendation is STAY AWAY, OWNER HAS NO RESPECT FOR CUSTOMERS OR THEIR PROPERTY.
VERY POOR BUSINESS ..... Won't fake my calls, no response to any attempts to contact. If you want a bad experience, this is the place to go. Total RIPOFF of my money and damage to my car. Owner Robbie Brand is a real Jerk, and all I expected was a refund of the $$$ that I gave him for a deposit of work that he never did. STAY AWAY,
OWNER IS A LIAR -THEIF AND A CHEAT....That's what you get when you go to this joke of a company, I guess the only SATISFACTION I will get is he will go to HELL on judgement day. I really expected him to be a man about this, but he is a big puss.

This is my 2006 acura Tl. This car and I have been through a great deal. Never has it left me stranded on the side of the road or not started right up. That's why I'm so happy for the amazing job SoCal auto body did on this car. They took out every little dent and scratch and gave it a 5 star paint job. Since I'm handing this car down to my son. I had SoCal auto body add a body kit on the car. Which they also did a great job painting and installing. I would recommend this place to all my friends and family. Thank you Robbie for the great service and making my sons jaw drop.

If I could give more stars, I would!
I brought my car in with a deep, wide gouge in the door. They got me in right away, got it finished in a couple days, and it looks amazing! You couldn't tell it was ever less than perfect. Excellent prices, too. Very professional and just plain awesome to deal with. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

I brought my 2002 Chevy Silverado pickup here after a blowout damaged the fender behind the right rear tire. I didn't know what to expect never having to use a body shop. All I ever heard were complaints from friends who have used other auto body repair facilities (e.g. long wait times for repairs, poor paint matching, poorly fitted parts, etc.} All I can say is that they should have gone to So Cal Auto Body. The repairs done by Robbie Brand and his staff were excellent. They did the repairs quickly. His staff kept me continually informed about the progress of the repairs. They handled all of the insurance paperwork. They completely cleaned the truck inside and out before I picked it up. They even provided a ride home when I dropped off the truck and a ride from my house to pickup the truck when they were done. I highly recommend So Cal Auto Body anyone looking auto body repairs.

Victoria wanted to get the rear quarter panel fixed or replaced on her '02 F-150; a series of blown tires had mangled it fairly thoroughly in the Texas oilfields. Robbie gave her a very favorable estimate when she took it in to SoCal. The plan was to hopefully find a serveable panel at an area junkyard, but one was not to be found. The fallback was to patch and straighten the existing panel, but it was badly torn up. In the end, Robbie asked his race car body guy to refabricate it in metal, and it was a gorgeous and solid job.
It took a few extra days to complete the paintwork over the holidays; the shop hadn't been completely happy with the first finish. Picked it up this aftenoon, and it's brilliant; the shop had buffed the truck all over--paint and chrome--and it doesn't look much like the worn old pickup that came back here from Texas. Outstanding job at a very reasonable price.
SoCal was recommended by the mechanic that did his part under the hood and in the drivetrain on Victoria's truck. My BMW mechanic in Apple Valley also has had customers speak very favorably of SoCal's work. So the "word of mouth" is working for them. Their primary activity is racing, so it's cool to see the cars in the shop. And the shop is beautiful: neat and tidy. Give them a try!
They're on Old Highway 58, just west of Barstow, next to Barstow Industrial Supply.

Absolutely satisfied with my repair. I had an insurance claim & decided to go with SoCal for my repairs. The whole process was good from start to end. Robbie took care of everything including all the paperwork. I would recommend this body shop to everyone & will be returning here if I ever need repairs again. Thank you Robbie!

So-cal auto body is hands down the best place to get your vehicle fixed in Barstow. They handle all your questions and deal with your insurance company. My vehicle looks better than the day I purchased it! Thank you for all your hard work and detail!

They got my car in and out in no time, their attention to detail is top notch, and the work was superb- definitely the only body shop I'd trust with my car!

Took my "57" Chevy custom to SoCal auto body in September 2013. After promises and being jerked around for 18 months, I picked it up. Car was left outside and was damaged by the elements. Very poor customer service, and no respect for customers property. Still has my $2000.00 deposit and now he is "calculating the storage fees" real piece of work. STAY AWAY, TAKE YOUR $$$ elsewhere.

BEWARE, BEWARE, bad business practice, took my deposit of $2,000.00 and left my car outside, with promises to start, again and again. My 1957 Chevy custom is filthy inside and out, black chrome rims are ruined. Now Robbie Brand/SoCal auto body is calculating the storage fees on a job never completed. NO CONSIDERATION FOR CUSTOMER OR CUSTOMERS PROPERTY, STAY AWAY!!! Harold Tapley
