“Bare's was amazing to deal with and went toe to toe with ICBC as they tried to come up with a bunch of excuses not to cover my claim. Bare's was fast with the work as I couldn't be without my truck for long, and now you would never know a gooseneck trailer crunched the box! Looks brand new!”
10 out of 10

They did an absolutely fantastic job repairing my driver side after it was pelted with rocks. They were very professional and got it done in a timely manner. While the passenger seat was left with some dirt on it after coming back and they took a look they apologized and cleaned it off but otherwise I got the vehicle back and it looks like it almost went through a detail. 10 out of 10.

“Our go-to auto body repair shop. We come from out of town to get work done here. They have always done a great job on our vehicles. They recently did some work on our brand new car that got in an accident and it was returned to us in perfect, like-new condition. Highly recommend Bare's if you want trustworthy work and friendly help.”

My Car Turned Out Perfect

“Nothing but positive things to say about Bare's. Had my car fixed there after been rear-ended and dealing with an insurance company (not Mine) that made me feel like they were doing me a favour fixing the car their insured had damaged. Bares took over all the necessary arrangements with the insurance company and quality were all TOP Notch. Everything with my car turned out perfect. Thanks Carol and Barry!!!!!!!!!”

“Twice now we’ve had deer hits bring our cars’ faces to substandard levels. Each time the team at Bare’s took care of us, and the vehicles. They helped make the paperwork as easy as possible, provided a loaner car, and when we got the vehicles back, they looked better than new!"
Prioritizing Customers Always

Was 'very' pleased with their work and it was done quickly, so I have chosen to use them again. I dropped my car off there late on a Friday evening and they were closed until Monday. I got a call early Saturday and they set me up and gave me a courtesy car so I would not be without for the weekend. Thank you so much for caring and working for me even when you are closed. This is the best customer service ever!”
