I can't say enough good things about California Collision Center in Escondido. Mr. Ruben was wonderful throughout the entire process--professional, communicative, and genuinely caring. The repair turnaround was impressively quick, and he honestly handled my claim better than my own insurance company did. Mr. Ruben truly goes above and beyond and treats people with respect and dignity, which is rare these days. If you're looking for a shop you can fully trust with your repairs, this is the place. Highly recommend California Collision Center--you'll be in great hands. read more

My experience was 100% positive thanks to Rueben and the team. They were honest, supportive and made dealing with my fender bender stress free. I appreciate that they were not pushy in seeking my business. They gave an honest quote well under their competitors and gave me the option to seek additional quotes. Thank you California collision. My GMC Terrain looks great! read more

Brand new Audi A4 was rear ended badly & thanks to C C C They made her Leased car look brand new again, & not like "other places" where the paint doesn't match or they put refurbished parts & my bumper sagged after 1 year. This place is for people who love to get "quality" work done & not quantity. I literally had my friend's car towed here from Murrieta. Because I don't trust a lot of other companies. Thank you Marc.... read more

Before & After -- California Collision Center (Escondido) What started as a cracked window and a ripped-off mirror (thanks to some Ocean Beach parking lot nonsense ) turned into one of the best customer service experiences I've ever had. Huge shoutout to Ruben, Kim, and Marc at @CaliforniaCollisionCenter for going above and beyond: Handled my insurance claim Scheduled the repair around my availability Had all parts ready to go Gave me a ride to work Coordinated an Uber for pickup Even had the car recalibrated at Mazda AND detailed it like new They made a frustrating situation easy and stress-free. One month later and my ride still looks showroom fresh. Couldn't recommend them more. Need a body shop?

I have had the occasion to take my car three separate times to have it repaired. Each time I took it in I worked with Ruben the manager, and he was very thorough in explaining my options and how my car would be repaired. Two of the times were other people hit my car and each time I felt they did an excellent job and even detailed it completely on the inside and the outside and found a missing Earpod, which I was grateful for. What I like about going to this company is that if something happens down the road, they stand behind their work. The last time I took it in it was just for some maintenance items of things that just get old with time and need to be replaced or fixed. Ruben is very sincere and I believe honest and I wouldn't hesitate in taking my car in again. Should it need any type of auto repair or bodywork. read more

Reasonable turned around time for a bumper change. Car was cleaned on pick up day, friendly and attentive staff.

I am a perfectionist and went to many other Mercedes' certified body shops. I chose California Collision Escondido for our GLK because of their near perfect yelp reviews and the estimator Ivan's above par, most excellent customer service skills. I called several times to ask questions and explained my concerns. Ivan was upfront, honest, patient and very detailed oriented about how we could get our car back to it's original look. They matched the paint identical, used the highest end clear coat, and the repair turned out perfect. They also detailed the car inside and out before they returned the SUV to us. Wow! I am so grateful for the owner Remon who runs a business the way businesses should run. This is why we had an excellent outcome. If you want Nordstrom customer service and your car to look as good as it did before I highly recommend this company and their incredible team. Thank you~ read more

California Collision Center - Body Shops Near Me - Escondido, California

This place is the definition of making the best out of a bad situation. I wholeheartedly recommend coming here if you need body work done. The fender of my car got ripped off and my car was left undrivable. I dropped off the car with Ruben and expected to wait at least two weeks for my car to get finished, but it was done within a week. Ruben and the entire team were incredibly communicative with me and got all of the repairs done in a timely and professional manner. All costs were reasonable and explained, and they worked seemlessly with my insurance. My car was even fully detailed when I picked it up! If you find yourself in need of body work and you live in the Escondido area, make these folks your first call. You won't regret it. read more

I recently utilized CA Collision Center in Escondido and they did an amazing job at fixing my 4Runner's damage from being rear ended. The quality, communication, and service were all top notch! Ruben made the experience especially enjoyable and easy. All things considered, I'd definitely utilize them again in the future, and will also be recommending them to family and friends as well. Thanks for the great experience! They utilized all factory equipment in the repair and color matched a difficult color to perfection as well (lime rush green). read more

I needed to get my car repaired, but had limited time because it was my only vehicle Ruben accommodated and pre-ordered the parts before I came in and got the car done in 1 day, unbelievable! In addition, they even washed and detailed the car, looks brand new!! Excellent work and customer service!! read more

This shop is great! Ruben provided exceptional customer service, the repairs make the car look and run just like when it was new, and communication was clear and upfront. My car needed significant front end work and the guys had it done within a week! I had total peace of mind leaving my car with California Collision Center and that peace is worth every penny. Highly recommend for any of your autobody needs! read more

The most dishonest and deceitful company that I have ever dealt with. Took them over two years to complete my repairs, and then ultimately did sloppy work requiring further repairs from another company. Lied to me over and over claiming that it was always somebody else's fault. Avoid this company at all cost! read more

Great place to come for collision repair. Experienced and very friendly staff. Very quick turn around after insurance approved the claim. Staff were in constant communication about progress with insurance visits, estimates and timelines for repair process. Thank you to the team. Much appreciated service. read more

My experience here was more than 5 stars. Ruben helped me from start to finish. His communication was excellent as he updated me through out the process and his customer service face to face was 10/10. The team did an amazing job on my Lexus! The work done here is immaculate. The paint matches very well (which was one of my concerns) it looks like my car is brand new. I am glad I brought my car here after an extensive search on collision shops, I would definitely recommend this place. Everyone I came in contact with at the shop was very polite and professional. read more

I chose this shop from the list my insurance company gave me, based on the positive reviews here. The reviews were spot on, particularly for Ruben. My EV needed a front wire harness which was out of stock everywhere with no ETA, and I was looking at a 6 month wait for my car to be fixed. Ruben somehow tracked down the part my car needed and my car was repaired in 3 weeks! When I picked up my car it was washed and vacuumed and looked nearly new. I received weekly updates from both the automated notification system and from Ruben personally, which was much appreciated. Highly recommend! read more

Absolutely incredible customer service and workmanship from Vic! My Mercedes Benz was in an accident on the freeway so I performed extensive research to find the best possible auto body shop that specialized in Mercedes. When I called in and spoke with Vic, I knew I would be in great hands. From start to finish Vic was always responsive, honest, kind, and paid attention to detail. All my repairs were completed very quickly and were performed with excellent workmanship. They used all Mercedes parts on my vehicle and I always knew what stage in the repair cycle my car was in. I will forever use this autobody shop due to their incredible customer service, reliability, and quality workmanship. Thank you Vic for providing the best customer service I've ever experienced at an autobody shop! read more

California Collision Center - New front bumper - Body Shops Near Me - Escondido, California

They did an excellent job repairing my Jeep Grand Cherokee after an accident. Fast, high quality job.

This place was the silver lining to my car accident. I can't say enough nice things about this shop and the team. They genuinely care about their customers from start to finish. I got updates on my car from the day it showed up. Marc has been in the business for a long time and has so many contacts. He got the adjuster out there that night. He even helped me deal with the insurance companies. I could call him about anything to do with my car & i know I'll get an up front answer. I'm so beyond grateful for these guys! read more

The right rear corner of our bumper had very minor scratches from pulling out of the garage. Although they were minor, I didn't like the sight of a blemish on our new car. We took our car to Caliber Collision for an estimate after waiting three weeks for an appointment. My wife and I were stunned with the price quoted and verbal estimate. That same day she drove to California Collision Center on N Spruce and met Ivan. Ivan was very welcoming and didn't require an appointment. At first he explained that the scratches could be buffed out. He volunteered to buff it and it made a huge difference however, a couple scratches remainedand. We decided to repair and repaint the bumper which included the removal of the bumper to avoid masking. He provided us with a written estimate and there was no pressure to have it repaired with them. To our surprise, the estimate was 60% less than Caliber Collision. We decided to move forward and were extremely happy that we did. Ivan was great the entire time and assured us our car would look just as it did when we drove it home from the dealership. I highly recommend California Collision Center and Ivan. read more

My car was in an accident, and California Collision Center make it actually a positive experience. They handled the calls with the insurance company, handled all the paperwork, made getting a rental incredibly simple, and were amazing communicators. My vehicle was not only expertly fixed, but they returned it to me detailed and cleaner than when I dropped it off. Truly exceptional service, exceptional care and very professional. read more

I took my black 2012 Mercedes Benz C-Class in to get the hood repainted as the original one had major clear coat failure. I ended up not using insurance and paid cash for this as I didn't want a claim to affect my rates. Marc did an exceptional job from start to finish. He made the process a breeze and the hood looks better than it did brand new when they were done with it! It seriously looks like my hood is a mirror. I have been screwed over by body shops in the past and to finally have found one that is trust worthy and more than reasonable with prices is a great feeling. I highly recommend California Collision Center for any of your paint and body needs. They are the bees knees when it comes to collision repair and customer service. Marc & Ramon are top notch! Thanks again guys! I will be back :) read more

Got into my first accident recently and was honestly a complete wreck. Both headlights busted, bumper falling off, and completely wrecked my hood. AAA recommended this place & I'm so happy they did. Coming in crying, they shook my hand & told me "we got this, no problem." With this being my first car ever, I of course have an attachment to it & was so incredibly scared it'd be totaled. They saw this & called me just about every day the first week to keep me updated, more than my own insurance. Even when my insurance told me it was repairable, these guys beat them to telling me by a minute! They've dealt with my nonstop texts & calls, even texted me a photo of my car looking like nothing even happened to it. It took them only two weeks to repair my car when I was scared it wasn't even repairable. Shoutout to Ramon & Marc for keeping me updated throughout the whole process, it truly meant the world to me! read more

California Collision Center - Before & after of my car, only took them two weeks to repair. - Body Shops Near Me - Escondido, California

Says free estimates. Towed car there. Never got one but was charged 500 bucks for storage. Was there three days.. Buyer beware! Paid that much for storage, stuff still missing from car when I picked it up. These guys are shady. read more

Such a great experience! Came in to replace my car door and they did an excellent job. The detail and waxing of the car was great as well. I recommend them for any work. read more

I was referred to this collision shop by a AAA tow truck driver. Never should I have taken his word. He must be getting a kickback from them. My Tesla has been there for 4 weeks & still isn't done. I get a different excuse every time I call. This was supposed to be a two week job They blamed Tesla for not having the parts. Well they didn't order the parts in a timely manner so of course it took longer. If they would've ordered the parts when they originally knew they needed them I would have my car back. They promise the moon but can't deliver. If you can be without your car for an unknown amount of time then maybe this is the place for you read more

I am so happy with the work these guys did on my car. They are super friendly and they make everyone feel welcomed. I will def come back to them if my car ever has another problem. read more

I would recommend California Collision to anyone and although I hope I do not have any car issues in the near future, I would call them 1st! My insurance lagged but I was always kept well informed by the shop and they went out of their way to pick up where the insurance left off. Hey Tony - Just wanted to say thank you soo much for your help! read more

I never do these things but felt the need to for these guys. Remon was so helpful and friendly. He answered all the questions I had and even went the extra mile. I definitely recommend the Escondido location. Hopefully don't have to be back but if something happens to my car again I'll definitely come back to these guys read more

After a fender bender my car had some front end damage. I went to several collision shops in the area for an estimate. The guys at California Collision were by far the nicest from the beginning. When I dropped my car off I met the manager, Remon, who reassured me that he would take care of everything and make the process as smooth as possible, and he did! When I picked my car up it looked brand new! They did more than I expected them to. Both the inside and outside were clean and shiny! Thank you for taking care of everything and exceeding my expectations. read more

I got in a car accident on July and I was very thankful to work with California Collision! They were quick to communicate with my insurance contact and transparent when communicating with me on what was going on. It's been 3 months now and my car is still working perfectly! I would definitely recommend this shop to a friend and would come here again. read more

Wow! I can't say enough good things about their business. They were recommended because they're Mercedes certified. The paint job on my SLK Mercedes came out flawless. The turnaround time was unbelievable. I dropped my car off on Friday and picked it up on Monday. I thought they were joking when they said it would be ready on Monday. They were totally professional and answered all my questions, without making me feel stupid. I will definitely return if I ever need my car fixed again. I highly recommend California Collision Center. They're the bomb! read more
