I contracted this company to replace the bumper on my Nissan Versa at the end of July and it's September 1st and the bumper these incompetent idiots put on is falling off. The car has only been driven about 30 miles with the new bumper on it. I warn you do not use this company it will be a waste of money. They won't even answer the phone to honor the warranty that's listed on their website.

The guy showed up 30 minutes late and told me they would bondo a brand new car and then remove badges on the damaged part and I would need to have someone else replace them. That's not repairing my vehicle "to it's original glory" as quoted directly from the website. I went somewhere else and they buffed the scratch out and popped the dent out in about 15 minutes for a 5th of what three clowns quoted. Now I see why you make a quote and 48 hours later reduce it significantly when you dont get a response. Trying to extort a cancellation fee after you lied about the process is laughably unethical as well.

Do not use Car body lab! Take your vehicle to a professional body shop. I’m extremely disappointed with the paint work done by Car body lab on my vehicle. The entire reason I had work done was to fix a small scratch on my car, have the paint properly matched and blended, but the results were far from acceptable. The new paint does not match the original color at all. The difference is obvious in both sunlight and indoor lighting — it’s noticeably off in tone and shade. Instead of blending seamlessly, the repaired area stands out immediately. For a company to stand on its “professional work” color matching should be basic competence, and this was handled very poorly. On top of that, the finish quality is subpar. The surface looks uneven, and the overall job feels rushed. When I brought up my concerns, the remedy was to have the technician redo the work using the preferred method of scanning the paint for a seamless matching. This method should have been executed in the first place. I trusted them with my vehicle and paid for professional results, but unfortunately, that’s not what I received. I would not recommend this shop to anyone expecting high-quality paint work or proper color matching. Now I am going to pay hundreds if not thousands of dollars to fix their work. Very disappointing experience.

Paint job has orange peel effect. Bondo work on fender has scratches visible after terrible paint job. Now company wants me to pay for TERRIBLE work.

I hired Car Body Lab for dent repair, ignoring warnings in favor of convenience—a decision that led to a costly month-long ordeal. I initially requested two repairs. For a small dent without paint damage, they overcharged, insisting on applying clear coat across the entire panel (a process unnecessary for a simple dent, which should have been Paintless Dent Repair). The technician failed to follow entry instructions and later explicitly directed me to **tip him via Zelle**, a significant red flag I regretted immediately.The initial repair was incomplete, leaving **dimpling**. For the small dent, the tech used **filler**, which was improper and created extensive damage: **rippling, pock marks, and scratches**, severely lowering my one-year-old car’s resale value. The work on both sides was messy and unfinished. Despite clear photo/video evidence, Car Body Lab refused my request for a different technician, insisting on sending the original, whom they claimed was "experienced." Two subsequent "fix" appointments failed to resolve the damage. Following the third visit, the tech left behind a **mess** (compound stains, overspray, trash), which I had to clean up. Car Body Lab engaged in a frustrating, repetitive cycle of asking for pictures and promising internal consultation, offering only more appointments instead of a refund. This process felt like **active avoidance of conflict resolution**. After a month, I refused further work and demanded a refund. I opened a credit card dispute after they went silent on my refund request. A professional body shop later confirmed the Car Body Lab work was amateur: they noted the **mismatched, lighter paint** and stated the filler would crack and fade. They fixed the damage properly. Car Body Lab delivered unacceptable work and unprofessional service. They damaged my car, refused a refund, and wasted my time with multiple failed repairs. **I strongly advise against using this mobile service.**

Subpar work by technicians that aren’t motivated to do excellent work. They have a “guarantee” to return and fix, but then don’t show up. You can only text with their AI bot—impossible to reach anyone by phone. I will be filing BBB complaint with pictures of what they did to my car. Please AVOID this scam company!

I needed to fix a small dent on the bumper. I gave them a photo, I gave them the paint code, but they stupidly keep asking for the VIN and don’t even want to explain why they need the VIN just to touch up the bumper!
