Great spot to get a good paint job or body work, I had some scuffs on my bumpers and the took care of quickly and at a fair price. Joe the owner is a good guy and funny too! I recommend this spot! read more

After getting quotes from many places, I decided to go with Earl Scheib. Joe at the El Cajon location (and others) was extremely helpful and explaining the differences of the options. I went with the middle option, which was their platinum paint job. He set the expectations appropriately and I believe the finished product is better than what I expected. This was an older car that I just wanted to add some life to before passing it off to the newest driver in the household. I feel the value I received for the price. I paid also exceeded my expectations. This is a cash only business so be prepared to pay in cash to pick up your vehicle. This is probably how they keep their prices so low and I'm good with that! read more

Amazing paint job on my 2004 Mercury Marauder! They did not like the way the hood came out so they took another day to sand it down and repaint. That is quality control. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0vxixor4T8 read more

Great chat with the front desk guy. Pricing is incredible, nice customer service and the gentleman spent over 20 min explaining everything to me. Haven't gone here for the repair yet but if this is any indication of their work I'm excited to see how things go. read more

Joe is awesome. Very knowledgeable and for the price, they do really good work. I get lots of compliments on the job they did on my son's car and they are pretty fast. I got the car back faster than anticipated. read more

My 2001 Corvette has only 70,000 original miles, but its original paint was starting to look pretty ratty. No self respecting Corvette should suffer such humiliation. I wanted my car to look nice again, but I didn't want to spend thousands of dollars to do it. I went to see Mike at Scheib in El Cajon. He was up front and honest. He explained the three levels of paint service that they offer, the difference between them and what they would cost. I opted for level two - Platinum- and handed over my keys. I dropped the car on a Tuesday and Mike told me that it would be finished on the following Thursday or Friday. I received the call on Friday. My car was ready for pick up. Wow! It looks great! It far exceeded my expectations and under $1000! This is not the "I'll paint any car for $99.95!" Earl Scheib that you might remember. This is quality painting at an affordable price. My 'Vette is once again fun to drive! It is like having a new car. read more

Excellent customer service. Straight forward pricing. We are happy with the quality of work. The process was thoroughly explained to us.

Great price and service, will definitely come back in the future. Truck came out better then expected

Wow, I'm still speechless. My car went in looking horrible and came out looking brand new it only took a day too! Mike and Joe and the rest of the crew are the best! They truly love what they do and work with you to make sure it all falls in your budget. Paid less than $1,000 for this, which was the best deal I could find in SD. If you're looking for a paint job that will look great and cost less, this is the place! Thank you guys again referring lots of people here. read more

I recently bought one of my dream cars. A 1970 Cadillac Coupe Deville. Previous owner canned it flat black. Also had a couple dents, dings, and rust spots. First thing I wanted to do was to fix the body and paint to preserve the natural beauty of the caddy. Mike and Joe were awesome. Please note, they make your vehicle look pretty this is by no means a 10k paint job and they express this many times. Mike made the quote process very easy I showed him everything I wanted fixed and he had a quote for me in 5 mins. Best thing is he showed me options and not just the expensive one. Right then and there he earned my business Joe the owner met with me when it was all done I was satisfied with it all and he pointed out a couple things his team never caught and he personally fixed it himself had me out the door in 15 mins! Again not a 10k paint job but for a rider she is perfect! first photo is rattle second is gloss black! read more

My brand new 2012 Toyota Tacoma was only five years old when the roof of the cab had the paint and clear coat start to oxidize. Needless to say I was mad. I started to notice it was pretty common among my truck model. Two years later the oxidation was horrible and spread to my engine hood. It made my truck look bad. After doing lots of research and evaluation my budget I decided to bring my truck to Scheib. I choose to get my whole truck painted, same color, and choose the Diamond package. I have to say I am extremely happy with the results. My truck looks brand new, such an improvement. In the time since I have had it painted I have many family, friends neighbors and coworkers say how great it looks. read more

They did a GREAT job. 20 year old buick, clearcoat was gone. Looked terrible before. The roof, the hood, the trunk. Ground down the whole car, then put on the paint. They have three levels of service, we took the middle one. Highly recommend them. read more

Took my car into Earl Scheib in El Cajon and was reluctant at first but to my surprise they matched the paint perfectly on my 17 year old Lexus and the car looks like new again, a brilliant shine and I couldn't be more satisfied with the results . Great customer service, friendly and curteous, I would highly recommend them for your car paint needs!! read more

Went to a few shops in the National City/Chula Vista area for quotes. We ended up liking a quote from Zooks in National City. A few days prior to dropping off the car, a friend begs me not to because Zooks in National City messed up her car. So here I go on another hunt for a paint shop. I run across this Earl Scheib and talk to Joe, he says to bring the car in he can look at Zooks quote and help us out. In the end, he didn't beat Zooks quote but came very close. There was 0 sales pushing and straight up honesty. He showed us some of the cars he's done and explained that he doesn't paint to factory standards so it won't be perfect. They tape off stuff and get it as close to perfect as possible but there will be some blemishes here and there. We understood and decided to drop off our car anyway. The roof was getting bad with oxidation so we really wanted to get it paint to save the exterior. We dropped it off on Tuesday of last week and picked it up today (Tuesday of this week). Mike took care of drop off and pick up as well as payment. Both Mike & Joe were really honest and great people to work with and talk to. The price was significantly less than some of the other local shops. It's not perfect, but it's close enough for us and the experience was easy. Definitely worth it and I'm glad we went to this one rather than any other shop. read more

I think this place is now called Scheib paint and body. Anyways, we brought them our daughters' 2000 Ford Taurus to re-paint since the original ford paint was peeling. These guys had it done in 2 days with some minor body work. The quality was good for the price that we had paid. I would recommend this place for a quick cheap paint job. read more

I took my 2003 Ford Escape here for a new paint job. Now my Escape had rust issues and the paint was very bad from years of exposure to the elements. I had considered just getting a newer used SUV but mine was mechanically sound. I took it to Earl Scheib in El Cajon and in 3 days it was given a makeover that is awesome. Prices are great, service was excellent (thanks Joe!), and I am incredibly satisfied. I would recommend them to everyone! read more

I installed a body kit on my car and just simply wanted it painted 1 color. I brought it here and they turned it around the next day. Some easily fixable overspray but other than that the paint is amazing read more

I wanted to have my 1956 Chevy 210 painted. I talked with Joe at Scheib in El Cajon and he thoroughly explain their process. As they worked on the car, Joe asked me to stop by the shop to show me my car. He did that and explained how they were going to approach the paint job. Joe sent me a video of the prep work then the painted car. It looked great! If you are looking fora good paint job, honest people, and don't want to spend $7,000, see Joe at Scheib in El Cajon. read more

Excellent!!!!!!!! I'm soooo happy with my new paint job on my 2012 Mazda 3.. it looks better than when it came out of the factory brand new. I would highly suggest Earl Scheib, anybody! read more

Wow! Joe and Mike are personable and fully explained the process from start to finish! We selected the " medium package " FANTASTIC! 10 stars on communication, 10 stars on service, 10 stars on quality!! Professional all the way around! read more

Met with Joe the Owner and was impressed with straightforward information. My 1993 Mazda MX-6 original paint was showing its age with fading paint and clear coat problems. Back in 1976, I had a car painted at Earl Shieb in Los Angeles so I was a little hesitant based on my previous experience. A lot has changed including the actual company that no longer really exists as I knew it. Back to present day. Rather than write more about the good work and ease of doing business here, I attached two photos of the finished work. My car came out better than I expected! If I have another vehicle needing a full paint job, I'll definately bring it here. read more

I rarely do any reveiws on Yelp but I decided to give props to Mike and his crew at the El Cajon auto paint shop. I walked in one day and decided to pay for the diamond package which is more money but was explained by Mike exactly what to expect with no hidden suprises. The final results are dope! Thank you guys for turning my 2004 Toyota Seinna into a new looking ride. For those people looking to get a good paint job go see the crew. They go beyond creating value for customers! read more

Long time coming I write this post for the awesome job these guys did for me last year... Awesome job with my Beast, guys. Taping is an art that was not lost with Joe and the crew. They did an outstanding job at a SIXTH!! of the price I was quoted by "high end" shops and it comes with a FIVE YEAR warranty. Two tone paint job plus all trim, bumbers, door jabs (5), gas port, and the inside of the hood. They accidentally broke the rear "EXCURSION" emblem trying to take it off. Rather than gluing it back together or charging me for a new, Joe replaced it for free. read more

I went in to Schieb Paint & Body because I used to work with the owner's wife. I was just going to get an estimate for some body work and paint for my 2003 Corolla S. It had oxidation all over the hood, roof, and trunk, as well as multiple dents/dings. Joe, the owner, was great--from the beginning! He is very knowledgable and helpful and certainly does not try to upsell anything. They offer 3 basic paint jobs, depending on your price range. He was showing me his son's truck and his own car that he's painted as well. He gave me an estimate, let me pick out colors, and there was absolutely no pressure at all! I dropped the car off the next day (Tuesday) and was planning on picking it up on Thursday. I called Joe on Thursday, just to see if it was ready and he said that he painted the roof a second time, because it didn't look good enough for him. I loved that! I was in no rush to get the car back, and he preferred that it stayed overnight, so I picked it up on Friday. Not a problem at all! Cash and carry is the name of the game at this shop--so prepare yourself. Not only does my car look BRAND NEW, but they buff out my headlights, which were completely fogged over...AND they fixed the wires that connected my sunroof, which now opens! WOOOOOO!!! BONUS! I would HIGHLY recommend them! Look at my before and after photos. read more

I recently got my 1991 Honda Civic painted by the Earl Scheib team - it turned out better than I expected my car looks brand new. I did pull all the parts off - bumpers lights etc. but there is no need to do it - they mask off all the parts and paint the cars and trucks very responsible price! read more

Stopped by for a quote on my day off and they refused to accommodate. It was drizzling but we could've waited 10 mins for a break to look at my car. Very disappointed. Took the day off just to get a quote and they are not open on Saturdays read more

I am so thrilled with the job these guys have done. My car had fading from serious sun damage all over the vehicle. It had vinyl stickers that were cracked and faded. It had been keyed down the entire side of the vehicle. And it had yellow headlights. Needless to say, it was not a car to impress. With a ton of miles on my car, I was not looking to spend a fortune on fixing it up. For under $800 my car feels brand new! Everyone was super helpful in the process and I got exactly what I wanted! Thanks so much! Highly recommend! read more

Very happy with the work and paint !!! I de-trimed my 1994 ford f150 They fixed 2 small dents and painted the original color. I got the top paint job and well worth the cheap price. the things that needed taped off was perfect, I had low expectations do to the price and they state there could be imperfections but the paint job (painter Angel & pre guys) was 1000 times better than expected. Mike the Manager was great had the car back in 24 hrs. and set me up with a little touch up paint, It's Scheib Paint & Body nothing like the Earl Scheib I had a Car painted at 30 years ago. Will use again. read more

My car looked very good after they painted it, staff and owner very professional and I was given a very good price.

I paint my car in March this year ..It's Corolla 2015 although I choosed the diamond selection for paint (which is better from standard the lowest selection) and ask them to fix dent in a top of car they work on a car for 7 days (they said 3 days) for $1350 .. and when they call me to take my car they put it under the sun in a way you cannot see how it's miserable and horrible paint, dots every where .. when I ask them why is not finishing good they said it's that what you pay for!! And they said it's better to wax it and sell it!! I took it to another shop to sand it and wax it ($300 more)and they told me that they (scheib)used a bad bad type of paint .. that's why it's appear miserable .. I sold it before 2 days .. all these months I hate this car and I don't need anyone to put himself in that situation . Note .. my car was white and I think it's simple color . Pay more to get what you need it's better to go to cheap places and cheap services read more

My 2000 Honda Civic has less than 90,000 miles and runs great so why get rid of it? Terrible (typical) paint fading on this green car. After getting a $4000 quote from a local paint and body shop and $5000 from a Honda dealer, I FB'd friends for recommendations and got one for this place. I remember growing up hearing, "I'll paint any car any color for $19.95" and remember Scheib's reputation for less than quality work. But after reading reviews I decided to take a chance. No upsell here -- Joe lays out the three levels of paint jobs and when asked if he thought the highest price job was the one to choose he said I should choose the best one for my budget. Left my car Monday morning and Wednesday morning it was finished. Signs in the shop advise they do not do "factory paint jobs". i.e., the paint jobs aren't perfect, but are very good. After inspecting the finished job I really don't know how it could have been any more perfect. And at just over $1100 for the highest level paint job including two small dents repaired, I am one happy customer! read more

Yep, these guys are the real deal! Did a great job on a fourteen year old Corolla for me. These guys are straight shooters. Mike and Joe told me exactly what I was going to get. I got a great paint job for a great price. Is it a perfect paint job? No. But I also didn't spend four or five thousand dollars on it either. Look, you're probably not gonna take your Mclaren to them to paint (although I'm sure they would do a great job on that as well) but if you've got an older car that needs sprucing up like I did, you need to see these guys. They'll get my business again for sure. Thanks Mike and Joe! read more

Car looks brand new. Super fast turnaround time, I picked it up within 48 hours. Took the time to even sand down my headlights which somehow they did a better job than when I got them "professionally" cleaned. Couldn't be happier. Definitely recommend! read more

So I had my Ford F250 painted. I got the diamond plan that last for five years. So what I did is I waited the full five years and brought it back to have them fix any chips or flakes that had happened over the years. When I brought it back they had no problem fixing any flakes that had happened. In fact I had so many flakes that it happened over the years around the windows and edges that they decided to just repaint the whole thing. I thought that was pretty cool and they went the extra mile. read more

His pricing was very straight forward. He did not in any way over promise. They did a quality job on both cars. I would absolutely recommend them. read more
