Our story
A body shop that explains everything first
We're Universal Auto & Body Repair, an independent shop on Industrial Parkway West in Hayward. Owner Sohan Singh is on the floor most days, which is why so many of our customers deal with the person actually responsible for their car.
We handle collision work (door and bumper replacement, panel repair, paint and touch-up) alongside the regular repair and maintenance that keeps a car on the road. Estimates are given upfront, before anything is started, and customers who've priced the same job at four or five other shops routinely tell us we came in well under.
If you don't know cars, that's fine. We'll walk you through what's damaged, what it takes to fix, and what it costs, in plain language.
- Upfront estimates before work begins
- Owner-operated: talk to the person doing the work
- Open six days a week, Monday through Saturday
What customers say
“I had very good experience with universal auto and body repair shop. Extremely genuine people. Very reasonable. And very clean work. I'm single lady with no idea how things work when it comes to cars. They guided me really well. I'm very thankful to them. Would highly recommend this place.”
“For the body work for my Prius which needed 2 door replacement and bumper change. Their estimate was upfront 30% lower than other auto shops, I have taken quote from 4-5 other shops. As they were charging less, I was little skeptical on how the final delivery will be like. But to my surprise, it was better than my expectation, the work looked like making car brand new. Thanks a lot!!”
“Very seamless experience and high quality work done in a timely fashion. The owner is always there to help his customers and is very responsive to customer requests. Reasonable rates and top quality customer service — my car had several damages and my car looks almost looked brand new when I got it back. Highly recommend this body shop to anyone in the bay area.”
