    new bumper that had been set on the floor unnecessarily

    Save yourself the time, the gas, and the headache. Auto Center Auto Body on Las Haciendas has mastered the rare art of wasting your time while delivering nothing but excuses, attitude, and subpar work. My story with them started in September 2024 when I got my bumper redone. Less than a year later, the paint job they so "professionally" did started bubbling, peeling, and chipping off like a dollar store sticker--eventually exposing a football-sized bare patch. Naturally, I went back to redeem the warranty I was told I had. They acknowledged the issue and claimed it would be covered--but said they'd need my car for weeks. I explained I work and go to school, and asked for a rental. That was shot down immediately. Instead, they offered to order, paint, and install a new bumper--said they'd call me when it was ready. Reasonable? Sure. But what followed was a month of pure, lazy, careless nonsense. I showed up after they said the bumper would be ready--twice. Both times? "We're too busy." The job takes 15 minutes. Four bolts. Four screws. Less time than a bathroom break. Still--"too busy." Today, fed up, I called and said I'd just take the bumper myself. They agreed. I showed up, microfiber towels in hand, prepared to handle the part carefully. That's when Danny (who I assume is a manager, though he carries himself like someone running a chop shop in a Fast & Furious knockoff) greeted me. Before I could even see the bumper, I was asked to sign a paper voiding the warranty for a self-install. Reasonable--but only if I was allowed to inspect the bumper first. After all the waiting, the least they could do is show me what they supposedly finished. They brought it out from the back, and of course, it was being treated like yard waste. I asked Danny what the holdup was, and instead of a straight answer, he questioned why I had waited so long to come in--as if their shoddy work and multiple brush-offs were somehow my fault. When I told him I wasn't comfortable with how the bumper was being handled, he dropped it on the floor next to my car. I explained that I now didn't want it, since the paint could've been compromised. He snapped back that "he sets them down like that all the time"--which really just explains why my first paint job fell apart in the first place. He stormed off, walked around on his phone like a teenager avoiding chores, then came back, placed the bumper on the ground again, and when I said I didn't want it anymore, accused me of damaging it myself. I looked for cameras--none. He laughed. I came to pick up a bumper and left empty-handed after a month of excuses, multiple wasted trips, blatant disrespect, and what can only be described as professional laziness. Bottom line: if you like gaslighting, delays, and dealing with people who treat you like a problem rather than a customer, this is the place for you. For everyone else? Take your business to literally any other shop that knows what professionalism, warranty, and accountability actually mean.

    Update: recently my driver side headlight went out and when replacing this bulb, it was discovered that the bulb is different than passenger bulb and high beam bulbs. The passenger and high beams were replaced previously with led bulbs that were the same size fitment as the OE bulbs so that the dust caps did not have to be modified. Yes, the different driver side bulb is a led, but the shop cut the OE dust cap to make the bulb fit. I was never informed of this and now I have to buy new dust caps as well. I was never informed of this and when I called to inquire of course nobody has any knowledge of this and state that they would never do anything of the sort. Pictures of the cut dust cap and different bulbs attached. The original bulbs installed are the lighter color and smaller bulbs to replicate the OE bulb size. Communication is almost non existent and when my vehicle was finally returned they had replaced the needed parts with ones that did not match the vehicle and the repaired and painted bumper started to chip. When I called in to inquire as to why the replaced parts did not match the vehicle they tried giving some BS response that they tried calling or the parts are not avail even because the vehicles age. My truck was only a few years old at this time and when I called a few dealerships and other body shops they were able to find OEM replacements that did match. When I went back in for the chipping paint they said they would have to charge me to repaint the entire bumper, and when I asked why when they informed me of a lifetime warranty on all parts and labor they said because I must have hit something because that's what they think it looked like. My father in law had the same issues recently when he used this same faculty for repairs after an accident. I would not recommend this establishment for any repairs. I have still not received a response for the mismatched part on my vehicle.

    Brand new front bumper
    Mark A.

    Thank you Autohaus Frankfurt for referring me to ACAB of Temecula! I needed to replace my front bumper and engine shield on my 2018 BMW 340i. My experience working with Danny exceeded all expectations. What stood out most to me was his pride of workmanship, honest communication, and delivering high customer satisfaction. The bumper looks fantastic and I couldn't be happier. Competitive rates as well (non-insurance). Thanks very much!!

    Cleaned off paint transfer no charge
    DrJohn W.

    I'm helping a senior couple with some minor needs & errands. One of which was to find an auto body shop who could remove a ding and some paint transfer. Well, after being told no one could help me at Caliber Collision in Temecula, Mark of Auto Center Auto Body was absolutely incredible. He removed the paint transfer free of charge and suggest I contact Simply Dents instead of using them. Which means a pretty significant savings. So, remember Auto Center Auto Body when you need some work done.

    Before and after

    I love this place!!! I worked with Mark and he was amazing. He kept me informed all along the process and was great to work with. They did a perfect job and were very affordable. I will use them again and highly recommend!

    Do they have a shuttle to drop you off at home when you drop off your car, or should you plan to call an uber or find a ride?

    Truthfully, I did not ask for a ride, but called Lyft for a ride.

Although it was a frustrating situation, Maria, Leo, Edward, and the rest of the team made the entire process smooth and stress-free.

It was already so hard being without my van for 2 weeks (especially getting a tiny rental car), but they were so helpful and communicative throughout the entire process and ended up finishing 1.5 weeks ahead of schedule. They also graciously held my van and kept it safe while I attempted to work things out with our insurance company. The cherry on the cake was that Leo ordered my tailgate emblems in black knowing that I did a whole chrome delete for my van, a small detail like that meant so much to me and definitely gained a lifelong customer. I would highly recommend Leo and his team, come here and they treat you like family, they treat your vehicle like it's their own personal vehicle. When I picked up my van, I was pleasantly surprised to see that it looked brand new off the lot, cleaned inside and out (thanks Sam!) I was definitely not expecting this at all. Thank you all so much for your outstanding service!

They kept bringing me back to the shop for three months, only for the insurance company to ultimately deem the vehicle unsafe to drive and a total loss. I took the car to Crash Champions a second time, following the insurance company's instructions, to give them an opportunity to correct their mistake two months into this ordeal. Instead of fixing the problem, the shop attempted to conceal what had become an irreparable issue. During this attempt, my service writer called to update me, and I asked directly if I'd be satisfied with the work this time. Her response was that if I didn't like it, I could just bring the car back in. That shouldn't be the standard. Repairs should be done right the first time. Getting basic updates was a struggle the entire time. I'd call and be told the person I needed was in a meeting or at lunch, with hours passing and no callback. Twice I drove to the shop in person just to check on the status. What's worse, they tried to give the car back to me multiple times when it wasn't even safe to drive, putting myself and my family at risk. It was clear their team wasn't capable of handling this level of repair, and each "fix" was more of a band-aid than a real repair. After the third failed attempt, the manager, Ray, called to apologize. Instead of taking responsibility, he blamed the service writer, calling her "too green," despite the fact that she wasn't the one doing the actual bodywork or paint. He then offered to repair the car again and personally cover my rental and repair costs, basically asking to handle it outside of insurance. I declined. This experience was exhausting from start to finish. Crash Champions seems built around quick, low-cost patches instead of proper repairs or evaluations, and in my case their negligence cost me months of my time, immeasurable stress, and potentially worse had I not taken my car elsewhere for a second opinion and found out the vehicle was unsafe.

I had tons of questions, multiple scenarios I wanted quotes for, and then more questions on top of that. Marc (said he was the manager), was so extremely professional and patient with every single question I had (and believe me there were a lot). I got four other quotes before I decided to go with the quote Marc gave me. Along with the promotion that was going on at the time Maaco had given me the best price that had all the options I wanted. The timeframe they gave me for the work needed was extremely reasonable and they beat it by a day or two. When I went to pick up the car, there were several other clients there who were admiring the paint color. Macco was able to color match the vehicle beautifully. The body work was also done very nicely and I was very happy with it. Based on my experience, I would 100% recommend this shop. The entrance and the lobby is very handicapped, friendly. They have handicapped parking right in front. The shop is located in a business center, so there is a lot of business traffic (trucks pulling in and out around the area), but not so much that you are stuck there.
