Do NOT bring your car to SJ Auto Body.
The first time SJAB worked on my car's front end damage turned out decent, even though the blinker light continued to fall out AFTER i took it back to get re-""fixed""-twice.
My next accident, almost two years later, occurred on June 30 and my car was not finished until August 21, almost two months later.
The ""mechanic"" waited 10 days after my insurance company gave the OK and cut the check to begin repairs.
I went on vacation in late July and began calling to get weekly updates on the progress of repairs shortly after I returned from my trip. When SJAB actually answered the phone I was told ""next week"" or ""soon.""
In August the receptionist called me to inform me of my vehicle being in an accident before i owned it even though the car fax report was clear. This accident caused ""extensive damage to my quarter-panel"" which the insurance would not cover, so I was asked to pay $250 cash (on top of my deductible) for ""labor.""
My car was supposedly done on August 19 but my insurance company informed me that ""the airbag light was on."" The car couldn't leave the shop without being completely safe. THE NEXT DAY SJAB calls me to tell me ""the seatbelt light was on"". It took two days to figure out the lights were on?
I FINALLY GET MY CAR BACK with the check-engine light on, the side fender-tire things looking terrible (about to fall off), grease under my seats, wax on the windows, and my battery died the same day. I had to buy a new battery.
I would rather pay out of pocket for a new battery and any additional repairs than give SJAB another dime.
This is an abbreviated version of what actually happened, but I think my point is made.
DO NOT GO TO SJAB. UNPROFESSIONAL. RUDE. SLOPPY.
Pros: JANE
Cons: EVERYTHING
