It's so jarring to get into an accident and the idea of finding a shop, calling insurance, thinking about transportation to work can feel overwhelming. Caliber worked flawlessly with my AAA agent and me & made taking in my car in for accident repairs a breeze as evidenced by my quick estimate quote & approval within 24 hrs, my car rental, & a short time for repairs. They even detailed my car! Guillermo was an absolute gentleman & professional & Meghan at the front desk was awesome. I can't recommend them enough! There is a reason that AAA & USAA and others work with them. read more

My car was broken and caliber was the best decision I have done this place is awesome specially because everybody that works there are professionals with them every detail counts The manager really understands what the clients want his name is Rafael on of the best so far in my opinion he is very human And Cynthia she really help en every part of the process She is professional I definitely recommend this place in particular because I been in different locations and this was the one that really focused in every detail. read more

Caliber Collision on West Palm went above and beyond repairing our Kia Soul after it was stolen. They were efficient, knowledgeable, and communicated with us every step of the way. Estimator Stephen Shepard even dropped off our vehicle at our home upon completion! Well done and thank you!! read more

I took in my 18' Audi A4 for work on a gravel dent + bumper gouge and they've done excellent work all-around -- Daniel provided substantial updates via text and phone, quick turnaround, convenient location walkable from my home, very competitive rate for the quality of service and transparency of the potential adjustments. Highly recommend. Keep the dream alive. :) read more

Getting rear ended was the worst but the staff at caliber collision made the repair process so easy. It just took another weight of my shoulders after the accident. I notified my insurance and they sent the paperwork over to caliber then I was able to schedule my appointment. They are open Monday thru Friday only but they open early so I was able to drop it off early before work. And they worked with the rental car service to get me picked up and into my rental car. The visual estimate was quick and easy. They kept me informed through the entire process. They always called to update me on the status of my car and if any changes happened. I didn't have to pay for my deductible until I picked up my car. All the parts ordered were from the dealership directly and they did the paint job in house. The color match looked great and my bumper looked amazing like nothing ever happened. They even gave my car a full wash and interior cleaning when I got it back! Even with all the bad news I had, this process was so easy it made it easier to handle. Great customer service and repair experience. I have another scratch that I would like to come back to fix later on. read more

I've never had to use Caliber Collision before but I had a great experience. They made me feel very comfortable handing over my car. They kept me updated all the way through the process. Great service! If ever needed, I will definitely recommend them. read more

I am reviewing my experience interacting with this company a few months ago. I have decided to write this review to caution any potential customer, and I hope this leads to an improvement in customer service, procedures, and the level of professionalism provided. My contact with this company started when I was rear-ended and brought my car in for an estimate. The person at check-in looked at the car briefly and verbally told me there was only cosmetic damage. After her repeated assurance of "only cosmetic damage," she questioned if I wanted to pursue further. I asked her multiple times if she was sure it was only cosmetic before leaving based on her assessment as an employee of Caliper Collision. My car was hit from behind. I was concerned about internal damage, but she assured me repeatedly, and I left based on her experience as a company representative. It took her repeated assurances that there was no damage on my car beyond cosmetic before I decided to go. A few days later, I received a missed call from this company, and I called them back. After being forwarded a few times without warning, I spoke to the person who told me my car had only cosmetic damage. I informed her who I was and needed clarification on who I was talking to. She immediately started yelling at me, insisting I had pulled my claim. Confused, I began to discuss the damage to my car again, feeling the need to defend myself. Yelling, she told me they already closed my account with them and would need to start the process "all over again" if I pursued further. She was stating again that the damage from the accident was only cosmetic and that I chose not to pursue further (omitting the fact that I did so based on her assessment). After trying to defend myself further from her yelling, I realized I was being pulled into an argument; I paused and informed her that I had called because there was a missed call from the company on my phone log. Without hesitation or apology for the yelling, she said the call was made to me in error, and it was to bring my car to the garage for an inspection. She behaved as if my calling bothered her when, in reality, I was returning a missed call. She did not apologize for her behavior or exhibit any remorse for how she spoke to me. The yelling was uncalled for, and the behavior was unprofessional. I felt like I had done something wrong for calling them. I felt the need to defend myself and that it would be a burden for them to "start the process all over again" for my claim. I had no idea at the time why she was aggressive and yelling at me when I was returning a missed call. After reflecting on the interaction, I realized that the Caliper Collision licensed mechanic never reviewed my vehicle before providing an assessment. There was no formal or internal examination of my car before this front desk person at check-in made an assessment. The missed call was intended to bring my car into the garage for a formal inspection. The person at the front desk was not qualified to determine that the damage to my car was "only cosmetic." I asked her multiple times if she was sure there was only cosmetic damage, and she assured me. She also verbally gave me general estimates of how much it would cost to fix the cosmetic damage saying it would be a few hundred dollars to fix it. At no point was my car assessed by a licensed mechanic. It was at the insistence of the woman at the front desk who yelled at me on the phone and pressured me not to pursue further. I guess that she was yelling at me and behaving as if my call was problematic because I was returning a missed call that was intended to bring in my car to a qualified person at the company when she already provided me with an "assessment" that I don't believe she was professionally qualified to make. Regardless, it is bad business to yell at and treat your clients this way. When I called Caliper Colison to return the missed phone call, I was blindsided by this front desk staff member's yelling and being attacked on the phone as if I was a burden for them if they needed to inspect my car. The company should provide a complete assessment by a qualified professional before informing a customer of the possible damage after an auto accident. The woman at the front desk should not be making such assessments and yelling at customers who follow up. I have informed my insurance company of this interaction. Hence, they know how they treat their customers and that mechanics do not see the cars before an assessment is provided to customers of damages. For any potential customer, tell your insurance company if this happens. If the company refuses to put their "assessment" of your car in writing or a qualified person never sees your vehicle before giving you an assessment-run. read more

I was rear-ended, which damaged the tail section of our new Lexus. The other party's insurance company recommended Caliber. I was a bit hesitant because I wasn't familiar with them, and almost got a second quote from our dealership. I ended up going with Caliber because they were about 1.5 miles from our apartment, and Guillermo's communication was excellent. I can't say enough good things about these guys. Guillermo handled the repairs. We had some scratches elsewhere on the bumper and Guillermo fixed them for no extra charge. I was really thankful for that. The time it took was exactly as stated, the customer service was stellar, everyone was pleasant. The tail section looks brand new. The car was washed and looked terrific. They had a warranty on their work--I can't remember the period off the top of my head, but it was for a long time. The parking is a bit tricky, but available. There were only a few spots out front, but there's an alleyway on the East side of their business (make a right at the RR track). After their service garage I found parking by turning right at the perimeter fence--helpful hint for all of you. I would definitely recommend this place. You won't be disappointed. Thanks to all of you who handled the repair of our car. read more

Great company helped so much. Great customer service............:::::::??gcssdccxhhszjd enchanting vghhhgfh

Highly recommended! I scraped someone's bumper with my door in a parking lot. Even though my 23-year-old car has already got a number of dents, I was going to have to pay a deductible no matter what, so I took it to Caliber on W. Palm to have the scrape in the door fixed. Guillermo looked it over, and said if I wanted they could do a full repaint and repair, but because it was on both the door and the body, on an older car there was a chance that the insurance company would look at the cost and just total out the car. OR, he said, he could just buff out the scratch for free. Which he did. In about 7 minutes. He even took out some scratches on the bumper and the other side that've been there for years. No charge! My car hasn't looked that good in years! (Also everybody wore masks and social distanced, I felt very safe.) read more

10 OUT OF 10 SERVICE! If you want to feel comfortable and confident that your car will get quality service this is the shop to go to! Everyone I spoke to was great. The customer service is amazing and the work done was even better. They were up front and detailed on what to expect so I had no surprises. Great Job Caliber! read more

It is amazing how these kinds of services are supposed to help us with our issues, that they promise us to give us excellent services, that will do the possible to solve and repair our problem, but they just want to get money in any way. The rear bumper of my Car was damaged and they just had to change that part, the car worked perfectly, and all that and they wanted to charge over 10 thousands for everything; but they started saying things like the car has to be in total loss, it was ridiculous. Supposedly things in the interior that were damaged, and others things. The overprice and the exaggeration of the things to get money for them is very noticeable and I just have the thing that they just want to leave someone without a car instead of helping them. Lamentable this situation and this company. read more

Wish I never came here. I got rear ended and the estimated time was only supposed to take a week, but it ended taking up a month. The new parts installed where loose. They also didn't even manage to put new adhesive on the parts where it was needed. Final and worst problem was I just found out they didn't install a brake light bulb. I was in freeway traffic and a stranger informed me. I got home and no brake light at all, really upset because this doesn't only put me in danger but anyone behind me in danger. Please re-consider about coming to this location. read more

I am so happy I chose to have my vehicle repaired at Caliber Collision in Little Italy on W. Palm. Emily did an amazing job, and kept me informed at all times. I don't think I've ever had a repair go so smoothly. My Ford Fushion SE hybrid was rear-ended and there was also damage to the back left side of the car. I just picked it up today and it looks like new. Thank you Emily, Vicky and everyone else who assisted me! They also vacuumed and cleaned the outside of my car...very nice surprise! read more

Few months ago i used this shop for repair my Mercedes, I was really happy whit them . Now they do some repairs in my Altima , same excellent service my car look like new again . Thanks team caliber . read more

So I took my 2014 Jeep Wrangler about May of 2018. I was T-bone by a guy who was under the influence. After taking it in i got a call back with an estimate. After further review I was told by an employee that my front axle needed to get replace. My insurance said they would cover so I gave it the OK. In less then a week I was told my car was ready to be picked up, which I thought was crazy being that they needed to do body repair and replace my front axle. After picking it up I know something was wrong with my car when the whole ride home. There was a loud grinding noise and a crazy rattling noise. When I got home looked under and found that they didn't tighten the bolt and nut that held my one of my control arms together. I called them right away and drove my car back so they could look it over once more. In less then hour I got a call back saying everything looked fine and that they were going to take it to an offsite alinement place. After getting that done I still noticed the grinding noise and that the steering was still loose. So over the year I took it back about six time complaining that my car wasn't right and the last time I took it in an employee said that they don't even have a mechanic that works on cars and that they are just a auto body shop and not a mechanic shop. Long story short I had to call my insurance company and get them involved because Caliber Collision's employees kept changing their story saying that they worked on it then the next time I called they would say they don't fix things like axles. This is extremely shitty for a place to do. Now I'm waiting to hear from a real mechanic on what's wrong with my car and might get stuck with a couple thousand dollar bill. And I assume that this Freddy R. that thought this review Funny works at this location. Just shows you how they deal with their customers. Freddy R. must have just read this because he removed his Funny liked tag. read more

Where do I begin... 1 Star for how nice the people were... And they did send someone to help, but we should have never been in this position in the first place. That being said, when it comes to business, I'm shocked. To start, we confirmed our car was ready and that we were on our way to pick it up. We arrive and they say, "sorry but everyone is out to lunch now so it'll be a few minutes..." Poor customer service practice already. So then, we get our car and the battery is low and the gas is below empty. I look at the paperwork and it shows a 12 mile difference in mileage from when it went in, and when it went out. But they didn't add any more gas cause heading straight to the closest gas station, we ran out, on the freeway. They literally ran the gas so low, we couldn't even make it a mile. By their own admission, they drove the car to get it realigned. I don't care what you had to do, where you had to take it, you replace the damn gas at the very least! And bill accordingly if you have to! And they ran the battery down low too?? What a joke! read more

Immediately after my car accident I dropped off my Hyundai elantra at the Kearny mesa location. They were able to take me on the spot and got me setup with a rental car. My adviser David was knowledgeable and we reviewed each section of the vehicle. David communicated with me regularly keeping me informed on the status of repairs. The turn around time was quick, I took it in on a holiday week and picked up the following week. Both passenger front and rear doors were replaced. They even fixed my wheels and bumper scratches. My car looked brand new at pickup. I am pleased with the customer service, pricing and quality of work. Thanks David and team at Calliber Collision!!! read more

Malinda and the whole Caliber Collision Team did an outstanding job with my vehicle. When I picked up my car I was amazed how beautiful and it looks brand new.Highly recommended and Thank you so much for a job well done Caliber Collision Team.Very happy and satisfied costumer here. read more

I had a small, detached part scratching on my tire and walked in without an appointment to see if they could help fix it. They were wonderful for fixing the problem in a short amount of time even with me coming in without notice! This is my second time getting my car serviced at a Caliber Collision and both experiences were great. Tyler, the manager, was very helpful and made sure I was good to go in less than 30 minutes! Thanks again for the help! read more

I damaged the driver's side of my 2010 Nissan Rogue and needed both the driver and passenger doors replaced. I could not be happier with the service I received at Caliber Collision in La Mesa. Everyone, from the people at the front desk to my service advisor, Alex R., was super helpful and informative. Alex R. walked me through the process, let me know what to expect and kept me regularly updated by text or phone call. I was able to pick up my car sooner than estimated and was beyond pleased with the repairs. My car looked brand new! I was shocked when I entered my car.....the inside had been detailed too! That was above and beyond service! I'm, by nature, always skeptical and a "hard sell" but I would (and will) recommend Caliber Collision to anyone needing collision repairs. Thank you, Caliber Collision! read more

Professional and Thorough They fixed a couple minor boo-boos on my car (I hate painted bumpers!). They worked with me on two different claims (locations on the car) and made it a reasonable cost in which other lower cost establishments couldn't compete. They e-mailed the initial estimate and notified me at every step of the process. They delivered on time as promised. I felt that they were honest, treated me with respect and they were not pushy-- didn't try to upsell the job. I would definitely go again-- hopefully won't need to! read more

I bought door guards at the Subaru dealership in Carlsbad. The dealership, Bob Barker, would not install them. Told me I could do it. NOT! I drove by Caliber, without an appointment, asked if they could do it. PEDRO who is a wonderful guy, immediately stopped what he was doing in the cool garage and attempted to install these door guards. My car was parked in the driveway in the direct sun, the temperature was definitely in the high 80's. Pedro tried to install these things but it turns out, the parts guy at Subaru, Bob Barker Subaru, sold me guards for the wrong model/year car. The door guards did not fit because they were for a different car. Pedro told me to please come back and he would install them. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT IF YOU NEED AUTO BODY REPAIR, GO TO CALIBER COLLISION. THESE GUYS ARE THE BEST! read more

Best customer service and great work! Communicative with me and also worked with my insurance company no problem. On time with estimates and repairs! Highly recommend!! read more

I was recently T-boned in a hit and run. Being my first accident, I was pretty shaken up, especially considering the offender escaped without repercussions. My insurance company (USAA) recommended Caliber Collisions and were able to do all the paperwork behind the scenes. All of the staff members were always courteous and I felt well taken care of each visit. The repair was done quicker than the estimated time and the final product was like new! So shiny and nice :) Overall, very pleased with my repairs. I'd highly recommend them to anyone that needs car work done. read more

OMG , this place is amazing. I've taken my car here twice and received excellent service. the work was incredible. They even got my car repaired in the same day. Malinda helped me, she was so awesome. This place is the best hands down. I highly recommend this place. read more

This body shop is amazing! Dropped my car off to repair a damaged bumper. They periodically texted me with updates, and even dropped my car off at my residence after the repairs were finished. My bumper looks brand new. Highly recommend! read more

Do yourself a favor and stay away! I went in to have a scratch repaired and this shop broke perfectly good parts on my vehicle during the door disassembly. I had no choice but to pay for more than double the original estimate to get the door put back on so I could drive the vehicle again. On top of that, I found out later that the door wasn't reassembled properly and there's wind noise while driving because it doesn't full shut and seal like it used to! Now I have to find a competent body shop to fully repair the new damage that Caliber caused. read more

Introduced to here by my insurance. They are doing quality job repainting to repair the scratch on door. Keep you posted is a plus. Was my first visit to body shop but turns out to be a satisfactory visit. They are of no problem and get things done. read more

They did a very nice job with my repairs recently. Also very friendly and efficient staff, work completed on time, cleaned my vehicle very well while they had it, inside and out. Also a good text system that keeps you up to date on status do you fine have to call, etc. Very pleased! read more

Overall solid job (except for two small unaddressed scratches still present). Did not like communication as I felt I was constantly reaching out for updates. Also took entirely too long to repair. Covid has been around for 2 years, that's not a sufficient excuse in my humble opinion. Would not use them again. read more

I had the unfortunate circumstance of side swiping my car twice in a year, within a few months apart on the same section of the car. I took my car to Caliber Collision for repair both times. The first a time it came back perfect. The second time, a few months later, the same section was repaired and it came back not matching the rest of the car. I called Caliber and told them it didn't match this time, that there was too much metallic in it. They denied it, said they used the same paint, said this time it was simply polished more and if i wanted the car to match i had to pay to polish the whole car. I told them I really felt it was the wrong metallic and paying to polish the car would be a waste, they wouldn't even look at the car. I asked if i polished it and it still didn't match if they would repaint it, they said if it still didn't match it was due to fading. I pointed out that the car hadn't faded in a few months and they said that it's entirely possible. The customer wasn't right, which is terrible business practice. A year later I got the car completely detailed, buffed, waxed and wrapped. it took the guy 4 days. He said the metallic on the repaired section was different and had to work hard to make it blend better. He also said there was overspray on the top of the car, because Caliber didn't spend the few dollars extra to cover it. Obviously, Caliber doesn't correctly match the paint and sadly doesn't make good on it when a customer complains, I wonder if i was a male if they would have listened to me or if they still would have treated me like an idiot who doesn't know what she's talking about. I tried to respond per the email response in the snapshot photo. read more

Caliber Collision - Body Shops Near Me - San Diego, California

I clipped the garage backing out, & when I heard the crunch, I knew there was damage. I figured I'd have to make an appointment & that it would be time & big $$ to fix it, because all car repairs are more expensive than you think, what with electronics & all. But that day I had an appointment to keep, the blinkers worked, the radio worked, & so I put off the repair. I'd had body work done at Caliber Collision in the past (no, someone else hit my car), & I was in the area a few days later, so I pulled up & went in. Three-thirty in the afternoon. The receptionist did not express annoyance at my request (do you think someone could take a look at it?), & after a few minutes, a lovely young woman came out & introduced herself as O. She could not have been nicer as she checked the damage. She said she'd find someone else to take a look, & Rafa came out & took a look. He could not have been nicer. Said he'd have to write up a work order. After a few minutes, Francisco came out & took a look, then O came back out & asked for the car key. Pretty soon, O reappeared in the reception area where I was waiting & held out my key for me, & said "all done." What?!? For an instant I thought, okay, all done, & now I make an appointment to come back for the repair? But no, the repair was all done -- they put the car back together & were sending me on my way. All smiles, everyone happy, especially me! No appointment, no paperwork, no bill -- just all finished. I was astonished! It was four-ten in the afternoon. Amazing experience! The best of the best -- highly recommend!!! read more

Caliber Collision does a fine job. We had some challenges with our repair but Augusto kept working on it until it was done to perfection. I am very happy with the repair. The fact that they offer a lifetime warranty on their work is a testament to their confidence in their work. I would use them again. read more

I took my car there because USAA recommended them. Big mistake. The body work was OK, but their administration is horrible. Paid them in full and they lost the cashier's check. Then, 7 months later they tried to contact me saying I never paid them. They even sent me a certified letter demanding I pay them almost $1000 AGAIN! After calling the branch, they FINALLY admitted they lost the check for months and it was now expired. Funny thing is they never mentioned that the prior two times they attempted to get me to pay AGAIN. They had the check for well over 60 days in their possession, but were somehow too busy to deposit it? Beware, save yourself the hassle and go somewhere else! read more

Recently i had a crazy accident...no one hurt...but my car was totaled. I was very sceptical about how things were gonna go. Caliber picked up my car and from there on I felt that I was treated fairly and well. My first point of contact was America...she calmed me down and assured me that Caliber would take care of me...which they did. My servioce advisor Guillermo was very well trained and quickly did a thorough inspection of my car. When I went to pick up my personal items Alex was very helpful...even removed my license plates for me. Caliber did a great job for me...I am grateful! read more

The good people at Caliber went ABOVE and BEYOND for me and my family. Miguel was very helpful with giving us a great quote on the repair and our car looks good as new.

Small front end damage on my 2019 BMW X5. Insurance covered all but deductible so I took vehicle to Calibur Collision on Palm in downtown San Diego. Great service from the start but, thanks to manager, John, best follow through ever. I needed the vehicle finished on a date certain and John personally made sure it was delivered on time. He noticed a service light on the dash and, after investigating (including consultation with BMW) determined it was probably a faulty reading. He let me take the vehicle and promised to follow up with BMW. A week later, John picked up my vehicle from my residence and took it to BMW for the sensor replacement. He then retrieved the vehicle from BMW ship and returned it to me after 5pm on a Friday. First class customer service. Five stars!! read more

Used this company when someone hit my car. They were so easy and so fast. They finished earlier than they said, and the work on my bumper is amazing and looks brand new. They made a very bad experience into a pleasant one. I will 100% recommend them to all my GF's. Thanks Guys!!! read more
