“Unfortunately, I have needed body work done on my cars three or four times over the past few years. A couple of times I had to pay out of pocket for repairs. Fortunately, I know thatTranStar Auto Body Shop (Phat Tran) provides just the service you need. Phat is very personable and efficient. His prices are fair. He is knowledgeable and you can tell that he knows what he is talking about. I needed to have the side view mirror replaced. In addition, in the last few years the 2016 Altima had picked up dents and scratches and was looking pretty ratty. When Phat was done, the car looked bright and shiny. This was not a one-time thing. If you go to TranStar Auto Body Shop, you can expect superior work. If I could give 10 stars, I would.”

“If you want the best, you found it. Jose and team put quality first, down to every last detail. I brought my rav4 to them 5 times in the last 4 years and every time they made it look brand new. These guys are true experts.”
“Richard and crew are the best. This is a family owned business that's been around for a long time.They take pride in their work. They are honest, good pricing and know what there are doing. They fixed my wife's Lexus NX sunroof and Richard was nice enough to patch some leather damage for free. It looked fantastic.Thanks Richard.You just don't find great family business in the bay Area anymore. California Cover is one of them”
“Excellent service! Ruben was very courteous, knowledgeable, and kept me in the loop every step of the way. Highly recommend to anyone who needs body work done on their car!”
“Watching them work is like watching a well-oiled machine. But they're still human. You can see them warming up to the specifics of your car over the course of the 30-45 minutes they take on the basic inside and outside wash. They often get distracted and forget what parts they already wiped down. Etc. But that's okay because I'm not paying $200 for a full detail. I'm paying $50, a steal for the amount of detail they provide.
A few caveats which made me knock a star off (but keep in mind I have a brand new car with brand new paint, so I care extra here). They are not invested in keeping your car scratch-free. They use one towel for the entire shampoo process, and not enough for the drying to avoid micro-scratches. For a truly 5/5 star service, they would use a towel for each body panel, work from top to bottom instead of randomly (for instance when they're drying, I see them wiping just underneath the rear bumper and then back to the middle), and use the the 2 bucket method to clean grit off the towel from each wipe. They should also use a pressure washer to get as much dirt off as possible before shampooing, instead of a garden hose attachment with the shower setting. There were some times where the vacuum hose and spray bottle got dragged along the car paint. They also made an error in putting something back in the trunk (without asking me first or for help) and a plastic part of a rolling duffle bag scuffed the rear bumper.
However, I think I will still keep coming back because they aren't franchised professionals or anything, they're an apparent family-owned business just trying to make a living. Despite the issues, it feels nice going here. I relate to being an Asian American and being involved in a family-owned business. I can see the experience. I can also see the optimizations they put in their process. I just wish they were more careful.”
“I was disappointed in my regular mechanic and I looked up Prime custom and Adam was understanding clear and thorough
I had back shocks put on my mini and had my windows tinted plus I had. Bonnet stripe removed and new ones applied ....I'm so pleased .... good job!”
“I had an excellent experience getting my very dirty truck washed. 10 people descended on my car and had it clean in less than 30 minutes for a very reasonable price. Highly recommend!”
“Very friendly Vietnamese business (family owned I believe) $45 for car wash, vacuuming, and cleaning.
No wait at 1pm on Monday and service was very quick.”
“The wait isn’t short but the work put into the car washing was impressive, especially that it was human powered by only 2-3 people on a high demand service roll. I was very satisfied of the outcome and price. Will come again if I’m in the area.”
“Yoooooo broke boy broke my front driver side window of my Kia got it fixed here of course I would never go anywhere else been going here over 5 years only bring my cars here!!!!

“it’s always a great experience. The wash does a solid job quick, easy, and my car comes out looking super clean. What really makes it better is the staff they’re always friendly and helpful!”
“Had a question about pricing with the young man who greeted me. He got Joe who let me know that if I download the Way app, I get a 50% discount on my first wash with a discount code. Fantastic! This is a family run, all-hand-wash place. Nothing fancy but they were very friendly and I was very happy with the wash. And now that I'm set up on the app, it's easy to pay. Note that you can't tip on the app (that I saw) so bring some cash to tip out. Everyone talks about wanting to support small family businesses in Oakland, well here's your chance.”

“Where do I even begin!!! Garrett is a saving grace! I can’t thank him enough for all of his help to save my baby(car). My plans took a turn at the last minute, but no matter what Garrett was there to help and answer any concerns I had. I would recommend this body shop to everyone! The entire team is helpful, personable, and you can tell they genuinely care about their customers.”
