After someone rear ended my vehicle my AAA representative recommended this repair shop in Laguna Beach and I made an appointment to have my vehicle repaired for Wednesday the 22nd of October. After calling to make my appointment the receptionist informed me that Enterprise would pick me up and take me to their office to pick up my rental. Upon arrival I talked to the Enterprise office and the Enterprise representative stated that he never received a reservation for a rental and I had to pay $300. I then asked Enterprise to drop me off at home until this matter was resolved the next day because my AAA representative had left the office for the day. The following day I contacted my AAA representative and he informed me that he never received a phone call from Caliber Collision confirming that I would be dropping off my vehicle to be able to get a reservation with Enterprise started for a rental vehicle. Once this matter was resolved I finally picked up the rental and contacted Caliber Collision to follow up with them about my vehicle. The Caliber Collision estimator named Ernesto informed me a few days later that my vehicle would not be ready until Wednesday the 29th. I was expecting to have my vehicle ready by that date and it was important that I have my vehicle back as soon as possible to be able to make my extra income with Lyft and Uber. Ernesto was aware of that and informed me that he would be pushing for my vehicle to be done prior to the 29th. On the 29th I contacted Ernesto and he brought me up to date on the vehicle and stated that the work was not up to his standards and had the paint done again. On the following week Ernesto gave me another estimated date and said it would be ready by Monday the 3rd of November and that he would call me to follow up with me in the morning when he arrived in the office. That Monday Ernesto did not call me with an update and I had to call him at 2:00pm. Ernesto then stated that the vehicle was not done because they still had to do some more work that included a recalibration. I dropped off my vehicle on Wednesday the 22nd of October and was finally able to get my vehicle on November 5th. I was glad this ordeal was over but when I sat in my vehicle I noticed that my fuel was at a quarter tank and I had left the vehicle with half a tank. I questioned Ernesto on this issue and he stated that the calibration guy had to take it to Laguna Niguel to have that done. As I was inspecting my vehicle there was a hat that one of the technicians left behind on the front passenger seat and a bungee cord in the back of my vehicle. I also noticed a very foul odor that smelled like a combination of sweat and oil that the technician left behind. The calibration technician also left the front mat of my vehicle dirty and also left a paper floor mat that they use to keep from getting vehicles dirty. I questioned Ernesto about this and the other issues and when I looked closely at the work they did on my bumper they left water spots on the paint and all I got from Ernesto were excuses. As I drove home my vehicle gave me an alert that stated that my collision sensors were offline which added more issues to the substandard service I received. Once I got home I gently rubbed off the water spots off the bumper and noticed a blemish. Once I received an email review I put everything that was wrong and then contacted their main office to talk to an area manager. Gabby the manager of caliber collision Laguna Beach supposedly tried to call me but stated that there was a busy tone and sent me a text asking me to make an appointment to get the issues resolved. I tried calling Gaby back and had to leave a voicemail and never heard from her again. The area manager Luis contacted me and when I informed him of all the issues Luis apologized and then asked me to make an appointment with the Laguna Beach location to get the issues fixed. I asked if I could go to the location in Irvine instead and Luis then contacted the manager of the Irvine location to bring him up to speed on my situation. I made an appointment to go to the Caliber Collision in Irvine on Monday the 10th of November and met with Luis to check on all the issues that I brought to his attention. Luis then had the manager of the Irvine location Bryan take my vehicle to the back for recalibration and then came back and informed me that the calibration was done and would need to keep my vehicle for repainting. My vehicle was done on Wednesday the 12 of November and looks great. No water spots or bad odor and a handshake from Bryan the manager of the Irvine location. If you ever need your vehicle worked on please make sure to avoid the Caliber Collision in Laguna Beach. The location is hard to get into especially with the heavy traffic on the laguna canyon highway and the staff seem to be on vacation when you need to get anything done. read more

Best Body shop in OC!! Hands down. Great location with Downtown Laguna Beach just down the road.

Amazing experience with the Ernesto and the team at Calaliber Laguna Beach. Things were fast, accurate and transparent. Plus,, even when there was a delay because of parts availability, Ernesto called me right away. AAAAA rating from me with the highest recommendation. read more

They do great work and they are courteous. I forgot to bring payment for my deductible, and had I not been able to get card information from home, they would have given me a ride home. Nice! read more

Came in to have my car worked on after an accident. This shop had my car back to me in a few days and the craftsmanship was top of the line!!!. read more

Knowledgeable! I would definitely recommend Caliber in Laguna for repairs to your car.

Took my Tahoe in to get the front end repaired. All the people I dealt with were professional and kept me updated on the progress of the repair. Had to get a rental and there was a car rental rite next door very easy! Kudos to Jack and Gabby for making the experience enjoyable! read more

Called them at 10:30am on a Friday morning because I'd clipped a curb and the bottom half of my bumper was falling off. I needed a quick fix to drive back up to the Bay Area on Monday. They were terrific...told me to bring it in and they'd see what they could do. I arrived at 11 and was done by 11:15! They were SO nice and they secured my bumper and charged me almost nothing for the fast, last minute, very much needed repair. If you google "laguna beach auto body repair" they aren't the first one to come up, but I called some others (who couldn't see me, didn't even answer their phones, didn't understand what I needed). I'm sure Caliber Collision is the very best choice. read more

Excellent communication throughout the entire repair process with frequent updates on weekly basis. Car looked exactly the same before the accident and was completed earlier than expected. read more

After our daughter was in an accident Jade at Caliber in Laguna did everything possible to make the experience as positive as possible. She was responsive, followed up regularly, and went out of her way to support us. I can't say enough good things about Caliber and Jade! read more

Outstanding customer service! Jade set a new bar for all automotive service work with frequent and professional communication, respect and dedication. For that reason I won't hesitate to return to Caliber when needed in the future. read more

In backing over a pipe hidden among some ivy, I had pulled the back bumper of my car loose. I wasn't able to snap it back into place and anticipated a complete removal, replacement, insurance issues, getting a rental car while it was being repaired ... the guys at Caliber Collision just snapped it back into place, didn't charge me, and sent me on my way. They could easily have charged me some kind of fee that I would have gladly paid. How great is that? read more

I just picked up my Ford F150 and I am beyond amazed by the quality of the repairs. My front bumper and right fender were damaged and I went in after reading great reviews from this place and they definitely stepped up to their reviews. The front desk receptionist Jazmin was so friendly and helpful. Jonathan assisted me every step of the way and kept me updated from start to finish. It was done a lot faster than I expected. Picking up the truck this morning, I was astonished by how great of a job the team did with my truck. It looks like a brand new truck! Thank you Jonathan and the entire team at Caliber Collision for restoring the rhythm of my life. read more

I highly recommend the Laguna Beach Caliber Collision location....you will be very pleased if you take your vehicle to them! read more

I got in a car accident a few months ago and AAA recommended this establishment. So far my experience has been great. Everyone there is friendly and Osiel took good care of me. Even recently when I went back for my light to be checked, thinking it was an issue with the wiring. He was kind and went out of his way to help service my issue. I highly recommend them. P.S. THANK YOU Osiel for all your help. read more

Jade was very helpful and professional. She made me feel comfortable and at ease. Working with her made things seamless

I recently had my vehicle serviced at Caliber Laguna Beach, and I must say the experience exceeded my expectations. The staff provided exceptional customer service, ensuring I was informed and comfortable throughout the repair process. they completed the repairs in a timely manner, demonstrating their commitment to efficiency. I highly recommend this body shop for their excellent service and prompt attention to customer needs. read more

Having worked in the industry for almost two decades (Mercedes Benz service management), I was cautious and concerned when my insurance told me to go to Caliber Collision. To my delight, the entire team was professional & on point. Car was done on time, they dealt with insurance company directly & the vehicle looked as good as new. I would definitely recommend this location to my friends & family. A++ service for sure! read more

Natalia was great! She kept me informed throughout the entire process and the work done on my Jeep looked perfect! The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because the quote they sent into my insurance, which was approved, was less than what the total ended up being at check out. Unfortunately, this meant I had to pay more out of pocket above my deductible than I was supposed to pay. read more

These guys are on it! Of course none of us want to go to the collision shop but accidents happen. A lady forgets to put her car in neutral behind us at the car wash so here we were. They made our car look brand new. They communicate every step of the way. And they work really well with the Enterprise attached to make a bad situation as good as humanly possible. I'd use them every time. Great work Calliber read more

My husband thought it would be a great idea to park both cars (in reverse) in the garage and one is significantly larger than the other, and in order to not hit my car, he parked a bit too close and hit the wall. Not only is there damage to the wall but his precious baby had a dented bumper and a broken tail light. I was prepared to start calling around and find a shop that could take my car in right away. Caliber Collision in laguna beach was the first place I called and thankfully they did not disappoint. We got the car in for an estimate that same day and ordered some parts and my car was back to me in days. Sharon helped me schedule the repair and helped set up the rental which of course I made my husband pay for. Gabby kept me updated and they delivered the vehicle to us. I am so happy to have found them. thanks so much!! No offense but I hope we don't see you too soon! read more

Natalia was my service coordinator and she was amazing. Super professional and very responsive to my questions and needs. My car repair looks great and my car was retuned on time and clean. This has been a very simple process. Would highly recommend this business! read more

Had an unfortunate situation where my 19-year-old daughter managed to wreck both of my vehicles within one week. I was having a hard time finding a location that wasn't multiple weeks behind in servicing vehicles due to the current Covid situation and the supply situation in Long Beach. Upon contacting caliber collision in Laguna Beach, I spoke with them on my situation and they need to be able to have some kind of vehicle that was in working order as soon as possible due to the fact that I was an emergency and trauma nurse and needed to be able to get back-and-forth to the hospital at the same time my daughter needed a vehicle to get back-and-forth from her work. Both Sharon and Gabby immediately jumped to action for me and got both of my vehicles in right away and rental cars set up so that I was back in business. Being a busy professional in today's environment and having to manage constant changes along with the stress levels of what I do as a profession, it was very reassuring to get constant updates on both vehicles and what would be the next step. You couldn't be more happy with the service provided and the quality of care from both the staff and the outcome of the vehicles after repair. I would recommend anybody to use this service shop if they're in need of assistance and want to be sure that they are getting top quality care and professional work. read more

AAA emailed Caliber Collision as their preferred provider to have Caliber provide an estimate and have them fix the back left quarter panel of my car. Caliber sent AAA Insurance an estimate for $2800. Over the next 2 weeks, Caliber completed the repair and I picked up my car and they notified AAA that the work was completed. Two months went by and Caliber contacted me saying that AAA Insurance was refusing to pay and that I now owed them $4800 for the repair. AAA Insurance must have authorized the additional work as no one spoke to me about the huge increase or the fact that they were refusing to pay until months later. Caliber Collision needs to re-evaluate their contract with AAA Insurance. This is a classic bait and switch move by AAA Insurance and Caliber. Caliber Collision picks up work from AAA and charges the owner of the car a much higher price even though AAA authorized the work to be done. read more

All of the staff at this place were amazing from start to finish. They were friendly, quick, thorough, and an overall pleasure to work with. I came in for a crack in my front headlight. They took care of everything with the insurance and kept me in the loop during the entire process. I just picked up my car and it looks like it came off the showroom floor. I would recommend Caliber Collision to anyone. read more

Getting into a car accident is not fun but I am so grateful to have experienced excellent customer service and car repairs from Caliber Collision. The service advisor Gabby was quick to get back to me about the estimate and keep me updated through the process. Osiel went above and beyond when he delivered my car Friday when it was done and I couldn't pick it up myself until Monday. They guarantee lifetime warranty on the repairs too. Also when my turn signal light was out when I received the car, they got me in right away and fixed it, no questions asked. Osiel was very kind and professional. Highly recommend them!! read more

I loved the customer service! I had issues getting my car door fixed before a road trip I had planned, last minute a biker accidentally hit my car door. I kept looking and looking for appointments to get this fixed, I spoke with Sharon who helped me get into an appointment to fix this really fast, I was very surprised at the accommodation she was able to make for me, not only did I get my car fixed beautifully like nothing had happened but I was able to leave on my road trip on time! I would come back here and recommend it to others! they do such an amazing job, from how friendly and understanding Sharon is to how great they make your car look afterwards! i love it! thank you guys! read more

Sergio, the General Manager, is a great guy. Took a great care of us and the situation that we were in. Very responsive and available to answer either by phone call or text message. He considered all available option to make sure the car fixed to its original specs. Great service, thank you Sergio! read more

My experience at Caliber Collision was a very positive one. They dropped me off at my home when my car went in. I was very happy about that.I didn't have to worry about getting a ride someone to follow me or make transportation arrangements. The staff that I I encountered were courteous.kind, and extremely professional. The work on my Jeep was stellar ! My Jeep is old and it looked like it had gotten a gorgeous face lift to me it looked new.My Vehicle was washed so all I had to do was get in and drive.I was extremely pleased with the workmanship at Caliber Collision. We have two cars Jaguar and a Jeep. I would trust them to do a fantastic job with my Jaguar. Check them out they also are in contract with our Insurance Co which is USAA one of the best. If they trust them to do a fabulous job so should we! Sheila Jacobs read more

Gilbert went above and beyond! Car was finished ahead of schedule, and I was super busy so they dropped off the car and took the the rental car back for me! I mean if that isn't 5 star service, I don't know what is! The car looks better than expected Will be back for all my car fixing needs! read more

Since I was new to the area. I didn't know where to take my car.,aaa recommend them. Sharon called me back many times trying to arrange the time to get in, she was great every time I had a question. Sergio was fantastic in making sure I got my car back in a reasonable time as well. Even when I felt I was asking a dumb question, they were very understanding, and very helpful. I would recommend them to anyone who needed their car repaired. Thanks again!! read more

My car was hit by another car a few weeks ago and Caliber Collision fixed my car and it looks better than it did before! They perfectly matched my paint color and ensured I was made aware of any updates to my vehicle. The staff is super kind and they really care about their customers satisfaction. Would recommend to anyone looking for body repairs! read more

PLEASE BEWARE, THIS PLACE IS A BAD BODYSHOP. IT HAS THE WORSE VEHICLE , CAR , AUTOMOTIVE BODY REPAIR FINISH QUALITY & CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! I finally got to write a review about this auto repair body shop... I should have done this a long time ago as they never got to do the job right but only made it worse. I had a small fender bender with another car, the insurance sent my car to this place. I had no reason to doubt their quality as it is a brand recognized in the industry but little did I know that this guys are the worse there is in the business. This is the succession of emails written to Paul Bunoan, the General Manager of this place (please see attached pictures that reference the emails): ----------------------------- From: Johann Sebastian Date: Mon, May 16, 2016 at 5:41 PM Subject: CLAIM# 012307637-C-1403 To: Bunoan.Paul@aaa-calif.com Hi Paul, Please find attached the photos taken of my 2009 Porsche Boxster; as discussed with you over the phone; the vehicle as you will see looks unfinished and is not ready for pick-up after more than 14-days in their possession. I find this tasteless and completely unacceptable, this coming from a reputable company as Caliber Collision is known to be. I find it hard to believe that my vehicle has passed quality inspection control at this facility but if it has then it shows the lack of care this company observes for rendering good quality service and acceptable workmanship. The quality here is unacceptable by all standards and the workmanship inferior and substandard by all means. On top of this there is more damage (unrelated to the accident claim). There were scratches created on the rear bumper as if someone had sat on it and scratched it with some punctured device. Paul, I want my car fixed entirely, I will not accept a half-assed job. I have been a very patient person. This accident occurred over a month ago, I have not requested a rental as I have my own car to drive and I don't like to be advantageous but at this point I require that Triple A or Caliber provide a vehicle for me to drive, I stacked up almost 2000 miles on my personal vehicle for daily driving to work and back since the accident occurred and I would like to at least see some type of compensation for this as well. Regards, Johann Sebastian ----------------------------- From: Johann Sebastian Sent: Monday, May 23, 2016 10:06 AM To: Mrosla, Mark; Bunoan.Paul Subject: CLAIM# 012307637-C-1403 Hi Paul, I am writing you this email and copying Mark Mrosla in it. 05/16 - went to pick up my vehicle at Caliber and found repairs that were done unacceptable. That same day I requested a rental car. 05/17 - received a call from Mark telling me that they could provide me a rental for a couple of days and that Thursday 05/19 my car would be ready for pick-up. I told him that if it was only going to take a couple of days then I could do without the rental. 05/19 - I did not received a call from Caliber all day so I called Caliber at 3:51pm and asked to speak to Mark but they told me he was on the other line. they took a message and said he would call me back. I did not receive a call back from them so I called again at 5:45pm at which time I only got the answer machine. 05/20 - I was busy in conferences all day but did not hear from Caliber at all!!! 05/21 - I called this morning but they are CLOSED on weekends!!! Paul, I am getting really tired and fed up with the non-professionalism this vehicle repair center offers. At this point I had it, ready-or-not I want to pick up my car Monday 05/23. if the car is still in unacceptable repair I want to take it to another repair center of my choice. Regards, Johann Sebastian PLEASE BEWARE, THIS PLACE IS A BAD BODYSHOP. IT HAS THE WORSE VEHICLE , CAR , AUTOMOTIVE BODY REPAIR FINISH QUALITY & CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! read more

My experience with caliber in Laguna beach was fantastic! I went to a different shop at first and they said they would write an estimate if I came back in a week and that I wouldn't be able to drop off for over 2 weeks. I reached out to Caliber in Laguna and Sharon set the whole thing up for me. Got me in for repairs within a few days of my accident. She set up the drop off appointment and the rental. Everything was perfect. Gabby kept me informed every step of the way my truck was done fast for the type of repair I had. Hands down best repair place I've been too. Thank you Sharon and Gabby, you are appreciated. read more
