Santa Cruz Auto Body
Repair and Collision

I own a beautiful black Dodge Ram. The box of my truck was dented in a parking lot. I received a recommendation to go to, Ken's Auto Body. I went for an estimate and Ken answered all of my questions. I was told that he could make the truck look like new and the entire process would take three days. He asked that I call the day before I brought the truck in for repairs. Black is a very hard color to do and when I went to pick my truck up I couldn't believe how beautiful it looked! Ken's also detailed my truck inside and out...WOW...so beautiful! I have told all of my friend's that if they have a bad experience with their vehicle to see Ken. Ken took care of me, and did it with flying colors. I will always go to him. He's honest, professional and get's the job done right. Thank you Ken!!!!

Dear Ken, I just wanted to take a minute to thank you for the outstanding job you did repairing my car. This being my first experience in dealing with major body damage, and working with an insurance company, I expected the worst. I can’t express enough how impressed I am with the service I received from Ken’s Auto Body. Besides the initial meeting with my insurance agent I didn’t have to deal with them again. You handled all of that for me. When I got out of my car after hitting the deer I knew my vehicle would never be the same. The truth is, my car is in better shape and looks nicer now than it did before the accident. Your attention to detail is of the highest standard, but what really impressed me the most was how you matched the paint on a 3 year old car and how I can’t tell where the new paint ends and the old paint starts. I felt it was only right to drop a line and thank you for a job well done. Thanks again,

Thank you so very much. I appreciate you going the extra mile to make a "happy" good looking automobile for me again!-Much gratitude

Thank you so much for all of your hard work on my Audi! It looks beautiful- You guys rock! Enjoy the pizza and cookies to show my gratitude.-Sincerely

Dear Ken and Steve, I want to thank you both for the superb meticulous work you recently did on my 1978 Limited Edition Corvette. You took great care to make me feel comfortable and I trust your ability to do superior work on my special car. I have now found the best Auto Body Shop in Santa Cruz! Thank you for your many years of quality experience.-Sincerely

My name is Jennifer Johnston and I am a teacher in Santa Cruz. Recently my car was hit and I brought it to your shop for repairs. I was having difficulty getting a rental car due to insurance issues. Your entire staff reassured me that they would do whatever was necessary with the insurance company, which lessened my burden. I appreciate your offer to borrow one of your trucks if I wasn't able to obtain a rental car. Somebody hit my parked car, yet I had to fight to get a rental; knowing you would help me reassured me I would be able to get to work. All of this took place at the beginning of a new school year, so you can imagine how stressed I was. I want to thank you for your caring, excellent bodywork, and professionalism. The work you did on my car was superb! I highly recommend Ken's Auto Body and Striping to everyone. Thank you again for making this experience as less stressful as possible!

Just wanted to say thanks for fixing our 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe. The car was in and out of the shop in a very timely manner. Since I didn’t have rental car insurance, Ken’s Auto Body offered me a complimentary rental car, which saved our family the hassle and money of getting one on our own. When the car was repaired, it looked and drove brand new again, like nothing ever happened. I’d recommend this shop to anybody without hesitation.

Special thanks to the team members at Ken’s Auto Body for repairing our 2007 Toyota Prius. My wife accidentally ran into a deer. The team took care of the car promptly and professionally during this time when she was quite shaken up. Ken and his team put my wife at ease, then kept in close contact with her on the progress of the vehicle. The car now looks as if nothing had happened. Thanks for helping alleviate her stress and mine during this time. After getting the car back, I decided to have them paint my 1972 Chevrolet Corvette, which turned out absolutely beautiful. Go to Ken’s because they really take care of your vehicle.

Less than two weeks after I purchased my 2004, 40th anniversary edition Mustang convertible, my wife and I were rear-ended in a highway pile-up. Thankfully, no one was seriously injured, but our new car was nearly totaled. We were heart-broken. We took our car to Ken to see if there was anything he could do to save it. Ken and his crew not only fixed our car, but restored it to "better than factory" condition. They worked directly with the insurance company, and took all of the stress out of the whole ordeal for us. We love our Mustang, and we would never take it anywhere else. The car still handles the way it did when we drove it off the lot... Like a dream! Thanks Ken!

On Saturday a few weeks ago, I was worrying about how I was going to find a reputable body shop to work on my car, being new to Santa Cruz. My driver's side door was falling apart and becoming very dangerous- not closing properly or fitting into the frame, leaking when it rained, making noise from air blowing in when I drove on the freeway, and my inside door handle was coming off. While sitting in bumper-to-bumper traffic later that day, I realized that the car in front of me was advertising Ken's Auto Body Shop....I took a chance and called...I took my car over for an appraisal and met Ken. He was easygoing, kind, professional, and extremely knowledgeable; he listened to everything I had to say, checked out the door, told me he would order the part needed, quoted me a price, and scheduled me to come back in a couple of days. When I brought my car in, everything went like clockwork-my car was ready in 2 hours as promised, the work was perfect, and to top it off, it turned out to be LESS than quoted! Amazing! You can really trust Ken, and his work is impeccable! I recommend him without hesitation. Thanks so much, Ken!
