Amazing amazing shop! I was heartbroken when someone keyed my new 6-month Toyota Carolla Hybrid car and hit the bumper while running away. I spent a lot of time trying to find a place skilled enough to ensure the car would be fixed to the brand new state. I will say if you come across the people here, consider yourself highly blessed. The work was impeccable - I was shocked when I got the car back, the prices were honest, and most importantly they care about the people they serve (which is rare in this day and age). All in all, a very stressful experience as very stressfree. They updated me every step of the way. Look no further!

I scraped the valance/bumper of my car loose on a low parking barrier. I brought the car over to Mathews-Carlsen without an appointment because of a really tight schedule. They looked it over, quickly repaired it, and didn't charge me anything! What lovely people!!

We are on a road trip to Oregon and the front underneath engine splash shield broke on the freeway and was dragging making an unbearable noise. We found Matthew Carlson auto repair on google maps and my husband called to see if they were available to take a look at the car. We jumped off the freeway and drove straight there and they zip tied it up for us in a couple minutes and wished us a happy holidays. We just wanted a quick fix and they were so kind and generous with their support. We are so appreciative of there help and I hope you’ll take your car there to be repaired by this great group of guys.

My Porsche mechanic recommended this shop. 1990 Porsche 964 door check on driver side needed body work for repair. It’s not a simple repair, and I was nervous. Door came off, metal cut, inside sheet metal where door check was screwed on was repaired and welded back with fabricated part. Repaint with color match and fitment of door back in car are all high quality. I worked with Evan, great guy. Went to shop throughout the whole process for an entire week. I recommend this shop for classic Porsche repair, they know Porsche and do quality work.

I picked this auto body shop because the Volvo website suggested it as a certified Volvo shop. I had no idea what to expect as I had only one other experience working with a shop in my life. From the start JR assured me that the quality would be great and that although I had a insurance company that at times are difficult to work with he would make sure everything came out fine. The end result was I got my 2025 Volvo XC90 back flawless and the work impeccable. Best of all, JR was professional in his communication and helped tone down the anxiety of not knowing if your car was going to be better or worst through this process. I would recommend them to anyone with a Volvo, but just in general a really good shop. Thanks JR!
