Foster's Body & Paint

They are efficient, know what they are doing and good to work with. I think they work with most insurance plans. However, I would use them for work not covered by insurance or restoration work.

My insurance company pushed me here vehicle had a small scrape on 2 panels The estimated time each time said 3days but took all week. First appt. they did not color match correctly​, the color transfer was not completely removed, the scrape that was polished out was still visible. More damage was caused during the repair process, that was not there when we took it in. We had to point it out. Second appt pick up, the color match was pretty good this time but the touch ups they did on the damage they caused was already peeling up and the bumper was not installed properly, it was missing several body clips. The bumper and body panel were not aligned properly because of a bracket they broke, they did replace that but only after we complained. The original damage was still slightly visible, they did not take the time to fully polish out the damage until i pointed it out to the manager Third appt they did not take the time to color match the touch up spots they caused and they left a hand print on the headliner, they got paint on the door jam and Caused minor scratching from removing the bumper so many times. At this point we just decided we had to accept it for what it is They will fix their mistakes if you bring it to their attention and hold them accountable. Management is helpful when trying o fix things. However, the shop does not have good attention to detail. If you do go here be sure to check your vehicle before you leave the lot, they have poor quality control and fit and finish

Don’t waste your time……. Took my car into Fosters Auto Body for. an Estimate and was told by owner Steve I would get an email the next day via email but never received the email or estimate. Called the auto body shop two days later and was told they would send me the estimate the following week but never received any email or estimate , just a total waste of my time. Don’t waste your time trying to do business with this auto shop go to a shop that values there customers and shows a little integrity and respect for their customers.

On, December 02, 2021, I was involved in an auto accident. Since we used Foster’s many years ago, we never forgot how kind and professional they were, so we took our car to them. Just as we remembered, they went above and beyond anything we could have asked for. Leslie did a very fair job in estimating our repairs and spending time with us and showing our daughters the antique car shop; Jeannette was always Johnny on the spot with up-to-date developments, and Cory was timely in sending us pictures and the status of the repairs every day. This was not an easy fix. The car was taken to Fosters on January 10, 2022. There were problems with the car due to the accident, so Foster’s had to work with the dealership from whom we bought the car. Fosters had the car towed to the dealership (from Santa Maria to San Luis Obispo) for repairs and Corey and Jeannette went back and forth with the dealership for weeks until the car was fixed to their satisfaction, and that the car was safe for the customer. Safety was their main concern. Because of the extra work that Cory and Jeannette put into ensuring that the car was working properly and safe to drive, we did not get it until the middle of March 2022. During this time, we had to use a rental car. Jeanette worked with Enterprise Car Rental to keep them apprised of the repairs and to make sure that they did not charge us for the rental; but that AAA paid for everything. Hats off to Caesar at Enterprise Rental Car in Grover Beach! He was the best!! We are very blessed that Foster’s has always been there to assist and answer any questions. Thank you all so much!

Used to trust them now is questionable in the past had 2 vehicles that went through there and both times has issues with their work first one was a weatherstrip issue not matching original cover next and last one was bumper that they had a specialist come out and with a high tech camera deemed it was road gravel that was the reason they wont repaint it so looks like they dont warrenty their own work and spacing gap was and is still noticeable. I really wanted them to paint my worst panels as well I went in and I'd have to pay for quote looking for a better lower priced paint shop now. P.s. I needed an panel adjustment they wanted to charge me 1000 dollars to do found a shop they did it for 100 dollars so very over priced
