Just got my vehicle back and looks amazing! Raegan did an excellent job of keeping me updated throughout every stage of the progress on my vehicle. My vehicle was ready on time, and in perfect condition. Thanks Bates
Bates Collision provided great service on our accident and insurance claim. Although I did not fully understand the process, Corey and Lee walked me patiently through the insurance claim. They provided timely updates of communications with the insurance carrier. They helped me understand how to repurchase my vehicle if it was totaled. Ultimately, the vehicle was totaled but I had no out of pocket expense for all the estimates and insurance hassles. Corey even cleaned out our car of all personal items before the car was retrieved by the insurance carrier. I had a previous vehicle repaired with excellent work and I even had them paint some additional panels on my older dodge truck to freshen it up a bit. Bates does great work, is honest and helpful and easy to communicate with. I hope we don’t need them again, but I won’t hesitate to return to their shop.
Highly recommen Bates. Very good experience really all I had to do was drop off my car . Had my rental waiting on me kept me in the loop on what was going on.Trust me you wont be disappointed great customer serve.
High quality service. Bumper and taillight needed replacement, lift-gate required some repair. Color match was exact, and everything looks fantastic. Mrs. Ida and the office staff provided constant updates on the progress, as well as steady communication with the insurance company covering the costs. If future body work is needed, Bates Collision Center will be the first place I consider.
I have a 2000 Corvette, that was damaged by NTB. Was referred to Bates by our mechanic for a second opinion. The best thing we could have done. They told us they would be able to match the 21yr old paint and not take away from the integrity of the car. Replacing the bumper and painting was incredible. It looks brand new, the car has never had any body damage in the past. Everyone involved was so professional and kind. The car was ready as promised. I would highly recommend Bates. By the way NTB paid for all the work upfront before the car was worked on.
Excellent and courteous staff. My car was repaired promptly and professionally.
Theyre overall service is good they were polite and did an overall good job they were slow in getting the job done their response was they could not paint because of the weather they also did not do a good job of keeping me updated on the progress of my vehicle
Great customer service, attention to detail and communication….office is clean, neat, and uniquely decorated. And excellent work on my car
Very professional and nice people to work with. Had my car for about 3 weeks and looks great.
The quality of work can only be matched by the professionalism of the entire team. True leadership starts at the top and Lee and Leila Bates set the tone and each staff member carries it out. The amount of support that they give the community is unbelievable on top of the great work that they do for their customers.
Great staff..very professional. I have always trusted their services and they havent disappointed. They know how to keep you updated through out the process, work well with insurance companies. My adjusters have them listed as one of their preferred locations..the staff properly gets the ball rolling smoothly from start to finish.
They do top quality work and the staff is friendly.
Sandra, Cory, and Candy were absolutely amazing. Super helpful and got my vehicle done right and on time. They helped me understand everything going on with the insurance company and made sure I got put into a rental with the hertz inside the store
Very professional and friendly. They answered all of my questions and the business is very clean.They care about customer service so much that they made time for me on their lunch hour. They believe in the work that they do and it shows!I would recommend Bates for all your body work!
Bates was awesome. When they were done you couldnt even tell that there had been any damage to my car in the first place. And Bates is the only collision repair shop that has ever called me often, not jut to give me updates on my car, but also to let me know they contacted my insurance so that they could get my rental car extended. I know there are plenty of dealerships with their huge collision departments. But these ma and pa family owned places are a gem and I like the personable nature you receive and that is a rarity these days👍👍👍🤗
The service was great! I stopped by before closing on a Friday hoping to get a quote about 2 repairs. They fixed one of them on the spot for free, and quickly ordered the part for my other repair! Awesome customer service, Candy was great!! Very satisfied with my experience and will definitely return for future needs, and refer friends and family.
They are amazing and very prompt and professional
Professional front office personnel. Car looking great again !Happy to have it home again.
Very professional youre very helpful!
I’ve never had a bad experience at Bates Auto Collision out of the 4 times that I have been there. The staff is nice, friendly and attentive willing to answer any questions you may have. I like the fact that the manager accommodated me to bring my car in even though all the appointments were taken for the day. Due to my work schedule and having to be out of town on the original appointment date. Also while you wait, they have a refreshment area of free snacks and drinks. Even though I wasn’t offered anything this time around but that’s okay. At least I know my car will be just like new when it’s ready.
Performed great job on my 2016 yukon. Paint matched other body panels perfectly.
Keep my Jeep for 6 weeks, but no complaints there, once a week there would be another charge sent to my insurance company for something, finally got the call to pick my vehicle after doing the walk down you could easily see things that was missed during the rework, that was very obvious at this point you cant say much your jus wanting your vehicle back.
Bates did an excellent job on my 2006 truck! It almost looks brand new now. Everyone I dealt with was courteous and professional and I received my truck back quicker than I expected. I will definitely be back if I need any more body work done.
Just got my vehicle back from Bates Custom and I want to say my experience went very well. Sandra gave amazing customer service and I was kept up to date through every step of the process. I would definitely use them again if needed. Great work, quick process and amazing customer service, cant beat that.
They are AWESOME. Excellent workmanship, ahead of schedule, and super nice folks taking care of me. Used then several times lately and highly recommend them. Thanks
The representative lied. She gave a price to me, and a higher price to the insurance. She said the tinsmith would fix all defects of the hood, but he only fixed the dent of the accident.
Hands down the best collision repair!! The best customer service! My truck looks amazing!! They did an amazing job!! It was quick too!!! Russell has great communication, he would call me and give me updates at all times. Best place ever!!!
Everyone that I come in contact with there is always helpful and friendly. From the beginning to the end of the process they are all working there hardest to make the experience positive and to have my vehicle done as quick as possible. I trust them more than anyone around! Extremely professional and my car looks great!
We had a great experience here. Will and his team replaced our front light bulb quickly and gave detailed information about how it broke. Get this: they did it for free. Will believes that you shouldnt charge for the little stuff, just charge for parts. We will definitely come back for any future work on our car.
Good service, courteous employees.
I chose Bates to repair my car because I was told they did excellent work. And, I have that to be true. They did a wonderful job very quickly. We are very satisfied with the results. Thanks Bates!
I have used Bates several times when my vehicles have been wrecked for various reasons, and they are real professionals. Not only is their work top notch, the customer service from check in to drive out is the best around. Besides the shop being the best, the owners...Lee and Leila Bates are great people and do whatever it takes to make sure everything is done right. There is a reason they were the citizens of the year. Will not take our vehicles anywhere else!
Our family has used Bates Collision for all of our needed repairs, big and small, for many years! They are very efficient, and kind, communicating with us the entire process, giving updates during our car’s repair time. We have always been pleased with the quality of work done on our vehicles! We do and will always recommend Bates Collision for any repairs needed!
Our go to business for all our collision and body repair services for over 15years!
Unfortunately, I have had to call on the folks at Bates Collision in Baytown numerous times over the years for both personal vehicles and company vehicles. The entire staff consistently provided personal and professional service and of course the great quality of their work speaks for itself. Without fail, they kept us informed on all matters regarding the progress being made, insurance and rental cars, etc. and when I had questions, they were always a phone call away. Thanks so much to the Bates and their staff for their many years of great service and great work!
I really appreciate the great customer service, Russel was very consistent and detailed with my vehicle updates. The facility was very inviting, there was never any resistance, they actually encouraged me to come on in to the shop to see my vehicle. Even on the pick up day, Russel made it clear to me that I was welcome back if any questions or issues came up. Awsome Job !!!
I have been very pleased with my experiences at Bates Custom and Collision in Channelview. The staff is kind and courteous and very helpful. I was kept up to date on the status of my repairs and the work was always top notch! I have recommended this shop to friends and I’ll never go anywhere else again.
Bates continues to be our go-to for vehicle repair. We’ve taken multiple cars through the years and have always had our expectations exceeded in both quality and service. We know we can expect a top notch and timely job when we go to Bates, and we appreciate their service to our community through the years. They definitely pay it forward.
Work done was great, it was quick, made sure I got into a rental car while they fixed it! Staff was nice answered all my questions keep me well informed on what steps it was in on being repaired. If I ever need work done again Ill us Bates again, so recommend them.
I am very happy with Bates Custom & Collision. There is no other shop I would take my vehicle to be worked on! By far has the best staff and keeps me up to date on the progress of my vehicle. Keep up the great work!!
Had an insurance claim months ago so this is a long review that I finally got around to posting. (TLDR at the end)I was sent to them and decided to go as I had gotten a quote there before but never work. I ended up trading in my vehicle so I never went back to get things fixed, but the fact that I even had issues is why Im writing this review.Vehicle was only 5 months old so other than the collision damage no other paint was damaged. After pickup, which as itself my vehicle was dirty and all they did was ran water over it to clean it up, this will be important later, it looked great. The very next day I got a better wash on it to clean up the dirt accumulation from sitting, the gas cover paint was completely scratched(not part of the repair area), the invoice said the rear was repainted yet where the collision happened inside the hatch was scratches from the collision not repaired, an additional scratch on the left side bumper(part of the repair), some stuff inside the clear coat which they said could be buffed out(looks like they may have had dust in the clean room), and a thumb sized dent on my hood above where the latch locks it down. The plastic piece that goes around my hitch area was not replaced and left in the vehicle wrapped up, so the next day I took off my hitch and went to put the plastic piece on and it was the wrong part.I would not at all recommend going here and If I ever need to do another claim again, will let the agents know my story and not recommend them. They offered to fix it but I was always an inconvenience it seemed because I wasnt making them money with warranty work, so when I tried to schedule a go back date it was at their convenience and I couldnt get a loaner which I needed for work. Beware of this place.Tl;DR: vehicle came back fixed but with issues and additional damage. Rescheduling for warranty is an inconvenience to them and you dont matter once you or your insurance pays them
After using Bates Custom and Collision, we will never use another Auto Body shop again!! The entire experience was nothing short of wonderful! The staff is very pleasant, knowledgeable and trustworthy. They truly made a very stressful situation of having your car repaired, a smooth and easy process. We received constant updates and were always asked if we had any questions, certainly one of the many aspects that we believe puts them well above the rest.Thank you Jessie, for walking us through the entire process and looking out for us when the insurance company would try to cut corners to save money. We cannot thank you enough!We will only use Bates Custom and Collision going forward. They have made us customers for life!
Bates took care of me and my car real good, and I gave them my business this time because more than a year ago they earned my business by protected my car during hurricane Harvey. My car had been in their shop being repaired when Harvey rolled in. The repairs couldnt be finished before the storm so they put it up on a lift to protect it from the storm and floods. As soon Bates opened back up for business after Harvey they continued and finished the job on my car. They went above and beyond for my car(and all the other customers cars too), and finished. I was so honored by Bates that I told myself if I ever need a body shop in the future I would go only to Bates! They Earned my business! And now theyve done another fantastic job on my car!!! 😀😉 Thank you Bates!
Bates Collision not only does an incredible job and an exceptional value but they are very committed to the community. That in itself scores extra points with me. Every year I look forward to their Annual Car Giveaway. This awesome event not only shows their commitment to parents who are making a difference in the lives of their children but provides an opportunity for many in the community to get involved and help with the gifts as well.
Great people to work with. Kept me informed on the work being done. Made my truck look brand new again.
Awesome group of people, I always refer work to Bates. The whole team is very professional and my car looks great! Highly recommend Bares Collision.
Great job completed 3 days ahead of schedule.
This is a great family owned business. Very friendly and will take great care of your vehicle. They have always been great to work with.
Completed by car repairs in a time manner. Great work. Everyone very helpful an friendly
Awesome service. Reps are very nice and accommodating. I would recommend them to anyone.
Friendly and fast. A well put together business.
I have used Bates for many years and 3separate vehicles and the outcome is always perfection! Thank everyone and especially Russel for another grand job.
Kid backed into the RV with the car.Took out the right front headlight, ripped the fender, tore the panel. After getting it back from Bates, couldnt tell it was ever damaged. Went to trade up to a truck, and dealer couldnt find any evidence of a repair. Very helpful when negotiating trade in value. Highly recommend.
Top notch after hours open house!! Voted on the favorite vintage car and my favorite won!! Great snacks and drinks - love the 50s atmosphere. Took me back.
I felt like my hand was held every step of the way. Everything was very simple and straight forward. If I ever need anymore bodywork I know where to go!
I had to deliver a part here and Candy was Top Notch friendly,super helpful,very courteous.Thanks Candy.
Everyone was nice. The work was done but not completed. I was surprised to find the security module not installed on the removable top, thus the top was not secure and could have come off during driving, which is the same reason I had to have it replaced.
The crew at Bates perfectly color matched an aftermarket hood on a 3 year old vehicle. The service was quick and had a great price.Thanks guys
Pleased with the work so far..but awesome people...
Although Im happy with the work done on my vehicle, Im truly dissapointed that my windshield did not get taken care of.I would of expected the body shop to lobby toward the insurance to include it or have at least a discounted price available considering the amount the supplemental quote was inflated. I was recommended to Bates by my Aunt-n-law but since the miscommunication on my repairs were numerous, I feel I can not use them again or refer others to this shop.
Bates has been my ONLY collision shop for many years. They have never failed to do a top notch job and treated me fairly. I continue to recommend them whenever I can. UPDATE on 2/23/21....since Google wont let me start another review...Bates comes thru again for me. Wonderful customer service. All businesses should strive to emulate BatesCC.
Great work and Great Service!! I have referred several people to them and they all have been very happy with their work.
We’ve had a couple of our cars repaired with Bates. We won’t go anywhere else. Their customer service and repair work are hands down the best!
Quality work. They keep you updated on the progress and take care of you while your vehicle is being fixed.
Although I am content with the repairs and I had no issues with any employees, Im not sure that the general star rating reflects my overall experience. Within 2 min of being in my car I noticed paw prints and dirt all over the backseat. The lady at the front who I showed and notified seemed confused and shocked by it, and told me after she cleaned the back that they were raccoon prints. I have to assume the car door (what they were replacing)was left off overnight,Id assume they would put a plastic wrap at least. I found it fairly odd no one noticed..I first assumed someone had a joy ride in it with their puppy but the prints did look different from a dogs or cats. The area where repairs were made was dusty and definitely not as I left it; I had just cleaned the inside a few days before so It stood out to me. It did not seem like they tried to clean the inside, I understand its a shop, but it didnt seem like they tried to clean it at all. I could tell the outside was also just sprayed over with water as opposed to a proper cleaning as another reviewer stated as well. I regret not taking a pic of the prints in the back,I was in a bit of a shock I suppose.I have no complaints about the repairs themselves.
They did an awesome job repairing my Chevrolet Pickup. Repairs were finished sooner than expected.
I was very happy with the work Bates collision did on my car. I would definitely recommend Bates to my friends.
I wasnt for sure I wanted to use them. I searched and visited a few places but ended up there. They did a great job on my truck the repair looks great! I was having isssues with the insurance company and Bates Coll. was doing all they could to help me get my issue fixed. They were nice and had great patience with me constantly calling between them and my insurance company. I would recommend Bates Coll. Not only for their customer service but also the work they did on my truck. Thank yall!
I had an insurance claim with them. Heard great things from them and decided to check them out. The first time the work was done everything was great however there was a part in back order. Brought it back to get the part put in, the scratched the paint and left the gas tank too low when I pumped gas it fell had to have the truck towed. Gave them about 4 ore chances to get things together and when I finally though things were ok a month later since the first repairs. The gas tank fell again my father had to fix it himself. Working myself in the insurance industry I stopped referring my customers.
Nice place keep me up to date with the repairs and even when the insurance company try to screw me they still to care of my truck hands down top notch collision repair shop
Great customer service as well as workmanship. I highly recommend Bates Collision, taking an accident to great experience.
Love the decor and the people were friendly and great
Staff was very friendly and went out of their way to be helpful. Kept me well informed on progress.

Bates staff is friendly and informative every step of the way!
Took my truck for insurence work. They messed it up even worse then what it was. They scratched and oversprayed the truck. I gave they 3 chances to get it right, but they never fixed it. i had to take the truck to a different shop. I would not recommend them to anyone. Dont take your vehicles there.
Great people! Best body shop around!
Reasonable estimates
Very good job
Good people and good service.
Great customer service!

Candy very kind
