S & W Garage

I met Andy when I asked for an estimate for what I think is a significant scratch in the bumper of my SLK 350 after hitting a post in my apartment complex. He took one look at it and gave me an unbelievable quote. I honestly believed it would be at least twice if not 3x. The following week, I took the car back and not only Andy honored his word, he also installed the new headlights I brought with me to upgrade my car’s front at a very reasonable price. The workmanship is excellent, the headlights work well, and my car looks better. I give his shop 5 stars!

Andy hooked me up. Super cool dude. The side of my car was mangled and I thought there was no way they could restore it, but picked up car today and it looked perfect. He did it for cheaper than I was quoted at another place and in less time. These guys know their stuff.

Been dealing with Andy at S&W for the past 15+ years. Had him paint my 1989 Honda Goldwing motorcycle over 14 years ago. He did it piece by piece and it still looks great some 50,000 mile later. Recently I took him my 1996 Dodge Ram 2500HD pickup. The truck had been neglected since new by sitting outside and uncovered (too big for my garage). Black is a beautiful color, but shows up every defect and will fade too. Andy and his crew took my truck in and gave it a make over. It looks awesome. Already had several people that thought I had bought a new truck. The price was good and the downtime was reasonable. They even painted the weather worn plastic bumper trim too. Would recommend S&W for all your automotive paint and body work.

Highly recommend. Quality work for a good price. I have had work done by Andy on two of my Mercedes-​Benz and was completely satisfied. Andy actually fixed some small issues with my car which I noticed after driving off, no charge! Didn’t even mention it! I was referred to Andy by my Mercedes mechanic here in Long Beach.
My daughter will soon be taking her BMW to Andy.

Nice guys. Fair pricing and they do great work. To top it off they even managed to work around my difficult schedule where I needed to get the car done quickly.
I recommend S&W

I was in a minor accident last week and damaged the bumper on my 3– series BMW. I spoke with the guys at Long Beach Auto Detail to get a referral to an auto-​body place and they told me that I probably needed a new bumper cover. Together with the labor, paint and repair to the fog-​light, they estimated that it would probably be $ 1K+ and that I should call my insurance. They referred me to S&W Garage. S&W was able to fix the bumper without replacing the cover and did an impeccable paint job. They also fixed the fog-​light that got pushed in during the accident, and all for $ 600. They also had it turned around in 4 days. Amazing job!

These guys did an awesome job! There cheap and quick! i would suggest them to anyone! Thanks guys!

Took my Toyota 4 Runner in for repairs to the front bumper, hood, and headlights. My girlfriend wrecked the front of my beloved car while trying to park.
So, another auto repair shop recommended Andy and S&W Garage. When I went in I was happy to know that he was willing to work with me and cut a few corners and just do the body work that I wanted to pay for. So we replaced the hood and headlights and misc. parts that he and I thought were critical.
I saved thousands of dollars from doing the full, by the book repair and the car came out great! They completely repainted the hood, beautiful metalic blue and it was a perfect match to the fenders.
Dropped the car off on Wed, and picked it up the following Wed.
Nice job, and I saved a bunch of $$$

I was rear ended and had some damage to my bumper and trunk. The damage was covered by the person who slammed into me’s insurance company, so I chose S & W because I believe in supporting local, small businesses and it was down the street from my house. What should have been a reasonably moderate body repair turned into a 5 MONTH LONG nightmare.
First of all, it took them 3 weeks to repair just the bumper and I had to call several times just to get them to call me back and tell me what was going on. Very unprofessional… and when I did call I usually got «What up?» instead of a «Hello, how can I help you?». A few weeks after I got my car back, I was off to a much needed weekend trip and realized my trunk didn’t open. Not with the remote, or a key, or even with the emegency latch the HAS to open (we climbed in through the seats). It was jammed SHUT! I took it back to the garage and after much head scratching they all agreed that it was obiviously from the collision and they missed it. «Uh, we didn’t do check the trunk.» I was asked to leave it for an hour. I came back 3 hours later, they had the trunk open (the emergency latch handle was mysteriously broken) and said they needed a part and they ordered it from the dealer. For the time being I had to «Press down on the trunk while turning the key to open the trunk». That only worked sometimes. Over the next few months this «fix» moved at a snails pace as I dropped the car off at least 5 times.
Finally, in March, (the initial repair was done in November), the trunk opened with the key and needed to be taken to the dealer to have another part installed and to be reset so the remote would work. It took a month for the part to arrive, I took the initiative and called the dealership myself and had them call ME when the part came in seeing that they NEVER wrote down my phone number. In fact I did MOST of the work in getting my car from A to B, and communicating.
Now my trunk works again, although the trunk door is still slightly off center from the collision and the emergency latch has a crack it from being forced open, but it wasn’t worth the HELL to have them fix it.
They do good body work, but their customer service sucks, it takes Forever to get your car back, and if you have a newer foreign car like a Volkswagen, BMW, Volvo, etc… I would suggest taking it to a body that specializes in those models. I know will if this ever happen again!
