Listed for drivers in and around San Diego, CA, these 24 shops handle bodywork and paint. What each one says about panel work, paint warranties and insurance jobs comes from its own website; ratings and quotes come from public reviews.

Area overview: San Diego, CA

Of the 24 technicians we list here, 22 are in San Diego itself and 2 come from San Marcos (1, 21 mi) and Oceanside (1, 29 mi). The technicians on this page are rated from 4.5 to 5.0 across 2,515 reviews; 22 have 50 or more reviews. When customers rate these technicians on specific qualities, they most often praise professionalism (93%), quality (84%) and value (74%). The topics that come up most in reviews of the technicians on this page are "estimates" and "communication". 1 is open around the clock; 10 are open on Saturdays and 2 on Sundays. 5 list staff certifications (ASE, I-CAR and OEM) and 14 have a BBB rating of A or A+. 21 have ten or more years of experience, the longest 45 years. 1 offers emergency or roadside call-outs; 2 offer financing; 13 give free estimates and 12 are family- or locally-owned. 1 has Spanish-speaking staff. We have a website on file for all 24 of the technicians on this page; 18 publish a contact page; 15 list a public email and 8 take bookings online.

Are any of these shops long established?

21 of the 24 shops claim ten or more years of trading. Longevity counts in body work, because paint systems and bonded panels have changed and a shop that stayed open had to keep retraining. It is what their listings state, not a rating.

FAQs

Can I get a ride home when I drop off my car?

Yes! We are pleased to offer you a ride home when you drop off your car. We aim to make each customer's visit a positive experience and will work with you to achieve that goal.

How can I get a rental car?

Carrillo's Auto Body has a partnership with Enterprise Rent-A-Car, which offers free pickup at our location. Rental car coverage depends on your insurance policy, so please check your policy or contact your insurance company for details and specific limitations.

Where do I get an insurance claim number?

The claim number is issued by your insurance company when the accident is reported. You can contact your insurance company to obtain your claim number.

What is a Direct Repair Shop?

A Direct Repair Shop is a body shop that works directly with the insurance company and is known as a preferred shop. Shops become preferred shops by meeting certain requirements, such as having certified technicians, using the proper equipment, and maintaining a record of satisfied customers. With preferred shops, the repair process is faster since the estimates, parts orders, and repairs can be handled without waiting for approval from insurance adjusters.

Do I have to pay a deductible?

Deductibles are determined by your insurance policy. Insurance companies determine fault based on the accident report. Any questions about deductibles can be answered by contacting your insurance company. Typically, with standard collision coverage, a deductible will have to be paid regardless of fault. However, with broad collision coverage, the deductible is often waived if you are not at fault.

You'll find more information on the FAQ page of our website.
