Our story

A body shop run by the person doing the work

We're Tam's Auto Body on Market Street in Oakland. When you pull in, you talk to Tam, the same person who writes your estimate and does the work on your car. That's why the numbers we quote are the numbers you pay, and why customers keep telling us we saved them thousands over what a dealer wanted for the same repair.

We handle dents, damaged bumpers, bent panels and full refinishing, including color matching that holds up next to your factory paint. Straightening a classic and want it right? That's the kind of work we've built our name on.

We're a small shop, which means we can often drop what we're doing to look at your car, and we push to get it back to you sooner rather than later. Call us and we'll tell you honestly what it needs.

  • Honest, upfront estimates: often far under dealer pricing
  • Paint matching that blends with factory finish
  • Walk-ins looked at on the spot whenever we can

What customers say

“Wanted to replace a damaged part of bumper, costing $100. Dealer wanted $2000+, claiming that the entire bumper would need to be removed. Tam's did it for under $500 and, after taking a day or so to get the part, took less than an hour to do the work. Looks like new!”

Anonymous Professor

“Tam is really nice and clearly a seasoned mechanic, always willing to drop what he's doing to help me out when I drop in on him. He is clearly willing to work hard to get things done early for you when there's a need.”

Rachel Sutton

“Excellent job! He was very honest when he estimated my car. It looked totally a brand new car after I visited Tam Auto Body shop. I highly recommended for my friends and family.”
