“This facility is professional, fast and reliable, the staff there even cleaned my vehicle inside out that’s never been done so thoroughly elsewhere. The communication is bi-weekly and I love how they provide updates on the progress. I recommend here to everyone.”

“Quality workmanship! EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT Customer Service Staff works with you and explains everything in detail. Was recommend to me by my car dealership. highly recommend this business!!!”

“Scraped the side of my car, and partially popped the bumper out while I was coming in through a gate, and thought the fix would be expensive and time consuming. Gold Coast was recommended to me by my car dealer, so I came over, and Francesca and the team had my bumper back in place and a few scratches buffed out in literal minutes. So glad to have found them, will recommend this shop to everyone I know!”
“Wonderful! Francesca was very kind and helpful in walking me through a scratch repair situation for which they didn’t end up charging me anything. Would gladly go back to them again for more major repairs.”
“Absolutely top notch shop. You’ll pay a little bit of a premium, but you get what you pay for. They work quickly, they don’t cut any corners, and they communicate often. I wouldn’t take my car anywhere else.”
“I have used Gold Coast Auto body before for a substantial fix. Today I came into have them look at a few paint scratches. The team told me my options depending on what I felt I wanted the outcome to be. In the end, they cleaned and touched up my scratches while I stood there. Everyone I spoke to was so kind and genuine. Sometimes you just want to be told what a professional thinks is best, and in this case I was so glad. Thank you so much for everything team. There are very few businesses who work this way anymore, and I'm grateful.”
“I stopped by for an estimate on fixing a scratch on my car. Francesca said she could clean it and put some touch-up paint. She made it look like new for free. Very professional and courteous!”
“Great experience, the staffs were all very nice & helpful dealing with the insurance & superb job fixing the car. I’ll definitely use them again!!”
“This body shop does amazing work. Dominic is the best. He told me what I needed to know and how they were going to approach the work. Whether you are under a claim or have to pay for the work yourself, which has happened to me a few times with Gold Coast when using them, the work that gets done is the best, period. I will not go anywhere else and will only recommend Dominic and Gold Coast.”
“I had an outstanding experience with Gold Coast Autobody after bringing in my Rivian for repairs. From day one, their communication was exceptional. I received consistent updates throughout the entire process—clear timelines, progress reports, and proactive outreach so I was never left wondering what was happening with my vehicle. What truly set them apart was how they handled the insurance company. They went to bat for me, advocating directly on my behalf and challenging the initial insurance assessment. As a result of their persistence and professionalism, I actually received additional money back. That level of advocacy is rare and speaks volumes about their integrity. The workmanship on the Rivian was flawless. Panel alignment, paint match, finish—everything was factory-level or better. You’d never know the vehicle had been repaired. If you want a shop that communicates like pros, stands up to insurance companies, and treats your vehicle like it’s their own, this is the place. In a world where customer service often feels like an afterthought, they still do it the right way. Highly recommend.”
