I feel they priced the repairs fairly. i would highly encourage anyone looking for auto body and paint to consider using them. read more

Ability Auto Body worked on my Corvette and I must say, I was very impressed on the quality of work. Kevin and his team provide top notch service. He was very processional, easy to work with, and overall provided a great experience with the whole process. Will definitely be coming back for all my autobody/paint needs. read more

Redemption. Ability owner went out of his way to improve their service, and I am happy with the outcome of our conversation.

Friendly staff, did a great job replacing our front bumper, signal light and fender flare! Looks good as new. Took about a week because delays with shipping OEM parts from Hyundai. Went through Geico, filed the claim online and they had openings next day. Enterprise car rental is just around the corner. read more

My Tesla Model S was hit on the freeway and the entire drivers side was damaged. Initially I was looking for a Tesla authorized body shop through my insurance with Geico but they all had poor reviews. Luckily, I called Ability and they told me they work on tons of Teslas and even collaborate closely with the nearby Tesla Service Center. I am extremely glad I took my car there as they provided the absolute best customer service and did high quality work. They used only genuine Tesla parts and my car looks and drives just like it used to before the accident. They even took my car to the Tesla Service Center to get checked out and cameras calibrated after the repairs. This gave me confidence that the car was repaired correctly. I can't thank Kevin enough for his superb customer service as he kept me informed throughout the process and made sure I was taken care of from start to finish. I am extremely happy to have trusted Kevin, Andrew, and the Ability Auto team with my car and highly recommended them to any Tesla owner looking for a body shop. read more

5 STAR SERVICE. My car was damaged due to a horrible hit & run and Geico had my car taken here. My front driver side door was basically obliterated when it was parked on my street outside my house and I was in shock when I saw my car. From the moment I stepped into the shop to the moment I left, the guys here took care of me. They had my car fixed and ready in 2 weeks. I'm so amazed by the service, kindness, and professionalism of everyone here. Special shout out to Kevin for also helping me with getting my lock fixed after they had to replace my driver side door. read more

I brought my '89 Mercedes to the above ultimately after a handful of auto repair shops had told me that extracting screws from a door striker is something a body shop would do. Was referred to this shop after visiting three that did only collision repairs. The manager confirmed that one of his technicians (an older man) would take on the task. The technician is a MASTER and a lifesaver. Within 2 hours I left with the new door striker installed. Strongly recommend this place for tougher tasks like this. If the need arises to replace the right rear door striker, will return. read more

My vehicle is almost 10 years old and I try to keep it in decent condition. One morning I thought I saw a weird shadow on the car door. With eyes narrowing while walking closer, I realize that it's spray paint. Just...great. Kevin was friendly and helpful about having that unwanted number 4 removed from the door. Thankfully he was able to fit my vehicle into the busy shop schedule on short notice. I'm glad I got it addressed sooner than later to avoid permanent damage to the original finish. Quality results and excellent customer service. Thank you to Ability Auto Body for taking great care of my ride! read more

Honest friendly and quick. I like when auto shops don't waste your time. Appointment was at 11 and I was out by 11:15. Getting an estimate for insurance was fast. They were busy but handled all the customers in a quick manner. They were also ready with times and dates for repairs which I appreciated. You can book a time online with ease. Good experience here.

I hit a stray tow hitch on the 5 north past Camp Pendleton and had the car initially towed to a dealer. I called Geico, who suggested I go to a Geico associated collision center. I was given 5 options, and of the 5 options I briefly searched online, Ability Auto Body had the best ratings and I felt confident to send my car there even without even setting sight or talking to the collision center. When the car arrived there, I spoke to Kevin (the owner), and I knew my car was in good hands. Kevin was so helpful explaining the process, setting me up with new tires, and the car back just as I wanted. I can't thank him and Andrew enough! Ya'll did wonders, and I'm so glad to have my car back. Fingers crossed I don't get into another collision, if I do, I'm coming back here! In the best way possible, hope I don't see you again. Happy to refer them to others though! read more

I brought my beloved Camry in after she was rear-ended in a fender bender. The guys at ability treated me and my car with respect and broke the news gently when it was time to tell me she had been totalled. They worked with the insurance company to make sure I was fairly compensated and did everything with remarkable efficiency. I'll be bringing all my cars to them if heaven forbid I'm ever in need again. read more

I was sent to this place by my insurance because some idiot had hit my parked car. I was devastated, honestly. I dropped it off on Wednesday where they inspected it and gave me the quote on how much it was all gonna be. Luckily for me, I just had to pay my deductible. (Which I'm getting reimbursed for.) They also checked for internal damage, which is nice. It was a quick and easy process! They called me on Monday to let me know that my car was ready! I picked it up and it looked as if nothing happened. There was a small issue with the plastic part of my car --which we thought was dirt-- but it's an actual scratch. I shot Kevin a message and he replied right away and said I wouldn't have to spend another penny; he'd order the part for me and take care of it! It really shows that he has great customer service and actually CARES for his clients. Overall, I had a great experience and I highly recommend this place! Follow their IG page: kevin_abilityautobody ^_^ I will say, pls beware of Art. If you're a woman -- Married or not -- this man is thirsty and a lil TOO friendly. He has ZERO RESPECT for boundaries. I let Kevin know of the details of what occurred while I was there but not much was done. If I ever need to come back, I will ONLY be speaking to Kevin. read more

My car was dinged on the passenger front side and brought my car here for an estimate. From the moment I walked in the front door- I was greeted with politeness and professionalism It took 2 1/2 days to complete repairs! I'm so thankful for Kevin and Anthony!! These guys are the best!!! read more

Greetings relatives! So this was the first fender bender of my life, pretty frustrating, Ability Auto were professional, efficient, effective and compassionate to the situation. The whole crew hooked my car up, and it looks pretty still. Huge shout out to these guys for the impeccable Job on my whip, & special shout out to Kevin for your professionalism! Much Respect, Ose! read more

I had several large scratches on my bumper. I got quotes from several shops who offered to fix the paint. I appreciated that Ability Auto Body offered to just replace the whole bumper for a fraction of the cost. The service was quick and they were always very professional and communicative. When I wanted to switch to using insurance instead of paying out of pocket, they were amendable to it. Would use them again for sure. Thanks Ability Auto Body! read more

Kevin and Art are amazing! Had my BMW broke into and the insurance sent me to Ability. I am SO glad they did! Not only is their work impeccable but super friendly and kind. This is the kind of auto shop that will make you stop going to the dealership. I am grateful and thankful for this work read more

I rarely change my reviews, but this company 100% deserves it. Originally, after having my car fixed by Ability, I was not impressed. I had a small dent with some scratching in the rear quarter and bumper (hit and run). After three days at the shop, I got my car back only to find visible clearcoat bubbling/orange peel over the repaired area, and even several visible embedded specs of dust. They also installed the bumper incorrectly, with some of the weatherstripping crammed under the plastic trim in the trunk, which caused the trunk to rattle and not close right. I was pretty upset and left an honest review. Not 30 min later, Kevin, shop owner, called me, sincerely apologized, acknowledged the low quality of the repair and asked to bring the car back so that he could fix it personally. He even offered his own personal truck as a loaner, while he was working on my car. When I picked the car up in just a few hours, all issues were fixed to perfection. Kevin even offered to cover the cost to repair a couple of unrelated door dings I mentioned, for my trouble. This guy truly cares about his reputation and customer satisfaction. I would not hesitate to use Ability Auto Body in the future. read more

Superior craftsmanship and quality of work. Brought my truck in with rear quarter panel damage and the repair looks flawless.

Sad to say but I've been in like two accidents and every time I always wanted to come here! They're fast and efficient. Kevin customer service is amazing. Being without your car is hard and they'll do anything to get it back to you asap. Thank you for your guys amazing customer service!! read more

Someone backed into my two passenger-side doors and dented them pretty badly so I found Ability Auto through their insurance (GEICO). Kevin was very friendly and helpful throughout the whole process of getting my car back to perfect shape. Kevin assisted me with the rental car pick up and drop off to make everything as smooth as possible Even when I requested minor adjustments, Kevin was incredibly helpful and easy to work with. Hands down the best customer service experience I've had with any body shop. I also loved their automated text messages that gave me updates on my vehicle and when to expect the repair to be completed. I got my car back in no time. I highly recommend this body shop and Kevin's service! :) read more

My Camaro SS, which is in cherry condition, was hit by someone in a parking lot even though I give lots of space when I park somewhere. Ability thoroughly checked the damage and worked with the insurance company, who provided an estimate that was too low for returning my car in the condition it was before it was damaged. Ability also threw in fixing a small blemish that was near the damaged area. When I went to pick up my car, it didn't quite meet my expectation, so they made the refinements I asked for and it turned beautifully. And it only took a week even with having to order a fender. My car now looks like it is supposed to look. I would recommend Ability Auto Body to anyone, especially those who cares about their car. Thank you Kevin! read more

UPDATE: 9-5-18I took my 2016 Honda Accord to this shop after it was rear ended. This isn't the first time I've taken a car in to a shop, but what sets this shop from my previous shops is how far they went to fight for me with the insurance company to pay for the damages. To top it off, they used original Honda bumper to replace my old one, instead of just following what the insurance said(aftermarket)! Not all body shops will do that. Original review: Got into a minor fender bender and shopped around different shops in the area. Worked with Kevin and he was very helpful and detail oriented. Checked for I-car certification and ARD, warning check other shops to make sure their license is valid! read more

My precious purple car was in an accident, and I couldn't have been in better hands than I was w/Ability Auto Body. Kevin was wonderful to work with, and the repairs look great! He also went above and beyond w/ensuring that my purple car wrap was beautifully done. Special shout out to SD Wrap! I will absolutely be getting future wraps from their company. I highly recommend Ability Auto Body, and I could not be happier or more grateful. The professionalism, timeliness, and kindness were greatly appreciated. Thanks again, Kevin George! read more

I would highly recommend Ability Auto Body & Paint! I had a car accident in February that really messed up the front left of my car when a driver backed into me.

Kevin is awesome and helped me answer all my questions along the way. I'd come back here for any auto body needs! read more

My car spun out on the freeway on a rainy day that resulted in my control arms, tires, bumpers and steering rack to be messed up. I was a bit shook from the accident but I initially picked Ability because it was close to home. Little did I know, this was probably one of the best body shops out there that will make everything right. Kevin has great customer service and will go above and beyond to make sure your car meets an out of factory look. read more

Ability is by far the best auto body shop that I have ever been to. The customer service has been amazing, but also the overall speed and environment are great! Kevin had no problem helping me out with any issues or questions that I had and was very helpful in making the whole process as smooth as possible. After getting into a car accident, I brought my car in to get everything fixed. This is a larger body shop and they worked efficiently and effectively to get my car back to me as soon as possible. I did run into one issue regarding the lock horn; a minor issue regarding the loudness of the horn but after bringing my car in, they fixed the issue very quickly and also cleaned the car. The service here is unmatched, and I know that I won't go to another body shop. read more

I was involved in an accident and Geico referred me to Ability Auto Body. I'm always skeptical because I usually have issues with the body shop, or work that wasn't done right and always have to go back in. After dealing with Kevin, he walked me through the whole process and was as smooth as it could possibly go. I would recommend this auto body shop to anyone looking for repairs on their vehicles. Kevin you're the man and thanks for looking out for me and my car. Can't thank you enough!!! -Kyle Ferger read more

Easy completed on time. Good quality. I would go there again. Kevin is a pro. Insurance process was easy

On 7/7/23 my 2021 Honda Civic Hatchback had mechanical issues causing me to lose control and hit a curb late at night. My car came to a complete stop and was no longer drivable. That same morning, after one failed tow attempt and another poorly executed tow, my car endured more mechanical damage and now body damage. Less than three miles up the road and four hours later my car finally made it to Ability Autobody. After the damage "Quality" towing had done to my car, they tried to charge me for the tow. Claiming "special equipment" was used that wasn't even used. They were dispatched through my AAA roadside insurance, so the tow was covered. Kevin helped me handle the situation that should've been handled between AAA and quality towing in the first place. Kevin was very helpful in standing up for me during the chaos of our arrival. Quality towing caused me a lot of stress, and more damage to my car. Kevin backed me up, and I did not pay for that chaotic tow. Ability Autobody was quick with giving me an estimate and time frame. Enterprise is just down the street too for convenience. They said my car would be ready within a month depending how fast they could get the parts needed, but only 2 1/2 weeks later my Honda was ready. It looks new again! Couldn't thank them more or enough! All of them were so kind and helpful. Highly recommend them!!! read more

They repaired our totaled Mini Cooper perfectly and had excellent customer service. Highly recommend them.

They do expert work. Always come through. Tony/Kevin care about the customer. I have been going there 12 yrs. Highly recommend them.

Kevin has fixed my car multiple times, front bumper, rear quarter panels, suspension and has always done outstanding work. Also has helped me customize my car and always gets it perfect. Best body shop in SD hands down, easy with insurance so don't hesitate. read more
