Buddys Auto body & Restoration - Novato (CA)

5 /5 Lino M. Amaral: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I brought my 1968 C-10 pickup to Buddys Auto Body & Restoration for a full paint job, and they absolutely exceeded my expectations. The quality of the work was outstanding—great bang for the buck! What really stood out was how Buddy and his team took a genuine interest in my vision for the truck. They respected the personal history behind it and treated it like more than just a job. That kind of care and attention is rare these days. He definitely makes you feel part of the family! I’ve already referred a close friend and will continue to send people Buddy’s way—he’s just that good! If you’re looking for quality craftsmanship and honest service, this is the place to go!

5 /5 R8CEHORSE: I went there for a neighborhood car show and was very impressed at the hospitality and the cordial nature of not just Buddys shop but his neighbors as well. This plaza houses some very quality oriented businesses. Buddys Auto Body & Restoration is a family owned operation and their attention to detail and quality craftsmanship is evident when you look at their project cars. Edit 04/26/18: I just got my car back yesterday and I was impressed at what Buddy was able to do with it. I brought it in after my neighbor played bumper cars in my parking lot on St. Pattys Day night and it looked tired, bruised and defeated. I thought it was done. When I picked it up, it looked like it was 5 years younger! He fixed the immediate problem but also polished the whole car bringing it back to life! Another thing that you dont see anymore is that there was a handwritten thank you card waiting for me when I got back into the drivers seat. Very classy touch. Thank you Buddy and your whole staff for the excellent workmanship and care taken with my vehicle! Another Update! 05/06/20 I took some new parts in for some extra protection and was super surprised that he knocked out the job in a day! Not only is buddy good but super efficient too! Ill probably take my track car over as soon as I can for a respray cuz you cant beat his service! 6/30/25: Well had a piece of plywood fly at me at highway speeds. Although SUPER annoying that people dont know how to safely transport their materials I knew just the place to take it for repair. I gave them a call and discussed my options. Im glad I did and he steered me to the right direction for my situation. I appreciate his honesty and will always be coming back.

5 /5 Nick Shorten: Once again. Buddy nailed it! I can always count on him and his team to set me up right and I always return to him for auto body work. He has a huge shop, very knowledgeable crew and works very well with auto insurance companies and is meticulous with the details. He’s been in the business for a long time and is way better at handling customers, giving quotes and getting you back on the road than any other shop in the Bay Area. Highly recommend Buddy’s for full restorations or insurance claims and repairs from classics to current day cars.

5 /5 Nishant Ghaiy: Buddys body shop helped me restore and paint my 65 Mustang Fastback. He took the time to get all the details right and Im extremely happy with the way it turned out!! I was able to see how the work progressed and get a few extra things done. Pricing is fair and he worked w my insurance. I would highly recommend Buddys shop and look forward to getting another classic car painted there one day!! Thanks for transforming my ride!!
