George V. Arth & Son / Crash Champions Collision Repair, Oakland CA

This place is absolutely amazing. I always knew where they were in the process and what the costs were going to be. The car was done early and they dealt with the horrible insurance company for everything. The car looks amazing. Thank you Brian and team!

From the very first call and all the way to driving my car out of the shop, every single person who I communicated with was great. Friendly, knowledgeable, and honest. They did a superb job on my car, they communicate both with calls and texts, and I was never in the dark about the progress. I can't imagine a better experience. Highly recommended!

As advertised - great service and great value. My vehicle was rear ended - superficial scrapes. They provided various options to include touch-ups or full bumper finish (sand, buff, paint, polish) - I elected to go with the latter and was not disappointed. I went through three different, top-rated body shops to get estimates - George V Arth & Son provided the most reasonable price point (for the local area). Timely updates were given regarding repair status and was delivered earlier than expected. Shop went above and beyond by polishing the trunk too at no added cost (previously covered in bug splatters due to vehicle being recently shipped on open carrier). Will refer to friends and gladly return for future services.

They have great customer service and fixed my car after jerks stole and dumped it in Oakland. All the employees I worked with were super helpful

The best place to get your car done. Had my car done here in the past. Very good awesome people. Get the job done. Will always be my go to place and I recommend others if they car need repairs.

Best shop in town. I had them put a carbon wing on my mazda miata, gave me a great estimate, very polite. They made an appointment for me just a week ahead of time, spoiler looks great. I will definitely come back to them for any more future work.

Customer for life. Toyota dealer in Berkeley wanted to charge me 250 bucks JUST TO LOOK at the source of my squeaky suspension, even when there is a rich history of problems caused by defects throughout the history of my model. Nope. George Arth—Brian specifically—said come on down. No issues, tech Matthew was an expert on Toyotas and not only helped find the issue but was psyched to be hunting it down. Class acts all around. I have been burned so often by so many companies it was refreshing to find these guys and know I’m supporting a good family business.

This shop was hands down a 10/10 not one single issue everything was as promised heck they even worked with me on pricing, because insurance couldn’t cover all of the cost. I also liked that they did not Guarantee the time or anything he (Brian) just gave me an estimate but through it all I got my car back at the time he stated on the estimate and the work they did on my Lexus was phenomenal can’t even tell. Everything from the bumper trunk and back rear door lined up. Communication and understanding was a 10/10. I 100% recommend them….

My family has been going to George Arthe for 20 years. They’ve taken care of two generations of drivers and all of the unexpected break-ins and vandalism that is part of living in the Bay. Every time Ron, Brian, and Rene Have gone the extra mile to not only make sure that every detail is taken care of, but also consider things that might have gone unseen. You will be glad you chose George Arthe!

Very nice and cordial people. Had my passenger window and windshield replaced. Only complaints are that whoever vacuumed did a terrible job. Shards of glass still under the seats and in the crevices of the seats and in the crevices of the floor of the car. Also someone accidentally broke the Jesus off of my rosary necklace that hangs on my rear view. I should have taken that off but had forgotten but still. Lack of care and attention had me a bit disappointed that it happened. I would still recommend, just don't forget to clear items, like rosary that hangs on rearview mirror.

I felt extremely welcomed they were very courteous very attentive to my needs awesome service everything was done fast and earlier than the expected The service was great and they will always have my business I know this will be my go to Repair shop anytime I may need any type of repair thank you. Plus they wash my car for free and detailed it

Professional family owned business that communicated frequently about my vehicle. Considerate and their quality was superior. I would 100% recommend this business

It was great, from scheduling the initial appointment, ordering parts, notification of the arrival of parts, the installation and the washing of my vehicle. I was really pleased with this business. They have a loyal customer. I appreciate them.

This auto shop is truly the best I've experienced. Everyone I spoke with was kind, professional, and had a great sense of humor. They kept me informed throughout the repair process. Even cleaned my car - such a nice surprise. I highly recommend this shop. So grateful for their services.

Front drivers side toward the wheel hit by AC transit bus. Mercury recommended Arth & Son. Very pleased with this company. From my first interaction with the Office contact who was as pleasant as a sweet peach on a hot summer day to the kind professional manner that Brian Anderson the Assistant Manager their service was on point. Wanted to bring a clean vehicle but didn't make time to wash and vacuum out. But man.my car looked brand new when I got it back. They even painted an area they did not have to do, SWEET! Hope I won't need body work again in this life (yeah right) but if I do I know where to go. The cost was reasonable too even though I didn't have to pay for it.

I had an incredible experience working with them. My catalytic converter was stolen and my insurance company would not help with finding a repair shop. My friend recommended George V Arth. I called them Monday morning, they asked me to send my insurance estimate and told me to bring in my car as soon as I am able to.

The moment I sent my insurance estimate, they ordered the parts. I brought my car in Thursday, they replaced the catalytic converter, installed the cat trap, fixed my broken car key and driver side mirror, AND washed my car within 4 hours!

The work is affordable and the people are friendly and so easy to work with. If you are one of the many who had a catalytic converter stolen during the pandemic OR need body work, I highly recommend them.
