My 2001 Lexus GS was hit in the quarter panel went to a few different autobody shops then a friend referred me to J&R. I came in got an estimate from Denisse and literally that same day she got me rental. Denisse gave me updates on my car and when it should be done, the turn around time took no more then 2 weeks and the work came out amazing!! You couldn't even tell the car had been hit. Over all the communication was well between the shop and myself, the timeline was done as they said, they're very professional at what they do and well organized. read more

I took my 1967 f-100 rust bucket pickup truck to Ruben for restoration work to try to arrest the deterioration so the next generation of the family would have a chance to keep a classic on the road. It came back as a show quality gem! Ruben would not rush the job, and was very meticulous about doing it right. He was very open to my input throughout, and did a great job of working with me and keeping me up to date on the status. He was very easy to work with, and provided valuable suggestions when I was trying to make decisions along the way. It is really fun now to have people stop me to gush about my truck, and a number of people have even asked if I would consider selling it! Nope. Sorry! I posted a pic, it's the stately "Wimbledon White" long bed flare side. read more

From beginning to end my experience was perfect in every way.

I love this place. Found them in 2008 when I backed up my Dodge Magnum into my truck and left a good ole' fat dent on the back of it. They took care of it in 3 days and I still can't tell anything has even happened to my car! They did awesome! We've been there multiple times since then (6 I think!) and every time their work has been great. Reasonably priced, good work, and a warranty. They do what they say. On one of our repairs we spotted a small drip on the paint a few days after we picked the car and they fixed it, no questions asked. They simply apologized. Our last repair with them was in July 2015. My husband rear-ended someone on the highway during rush hour and the whole front of his car needed to be repaired. Surprisingly there was a lot of damage even though we were doing no more than 15mph! We just dropped the car in the evening at the parking lot in front of the shop and called them the next morning to let them know. They took care of the rest, including dealing with the insurance company. Took a week and a half from the day we dropped the car till we picked it up, and the car looked like new. They did such an amazing job! Ruben is very easy to talk to, down to earth, and honest. He does what he says. They do a good job and stand behind their work 100%. I like this place. We always go back there. read more

I took my vehicle here after getting being rear ended. This place is top notch, my car looks better than it did prior to the accident. they gave me a lifetime warranty so i know they stand behind their work. Can't say enough good things. You will not be dissapointed, the owner shook my hand when I walked in and walked me through the entire repair process. Well he earned my trust and I will keep recommending them to everyone I know. read more

See all

2nd time I needed their service. This time I didn't bother getting a quote from anyone else! I knew exactly who I needed to call to get me back on the road. I know the body and fender repair business well and know when I see quality work. No need to go anywhere else. This is the place! read more

Denisse & Ruben are amazing! Very professional and Honest! They took a look at our 2018 Toyota Highlander after a fender bender, gave a reasonable cost to repair. And when we picked it up we were blown away by their workmanship. I have since referred family & friends and they have also been very happy! I will continue to use J & R Auto Body and refer! Thank you Denisse for getting us back on the road quickly! read more

I'm so glad I took my car to a few different shops for a quote and came in to J & R auto body. They gave me the best price and wonderful customer service on top of that! Everyone was friendly and went above and beyond any other shop would have. They even gave me a ride after I dropped my car off and picked me up when it was ready free of charge because my work is relatively close to the shop. I will be recommending to all my friends & family. read more

I was rear-ended and brought my car in to J & R for repairs. Denisse made it easy, she set up my rental and brought me to the company to pick it up. My car was done in two days, and it's beautiful! Ruben and Denisse were a pleasure to work with! Thank you J & R! read more

I brought my 2016 accord Coupe. I got it brand new and a year later got hit on the side--I was crushed. I got so many quotes from different auto body shops that had ridiculous prices customer service was horrible. I came across J&R they were super honest super respectful The prices are great I would very much recommend them to anyone that has an issue with any type of body repair. read more

I took my 2018 Honda Fit here after it suffered a dent on the passenger door preventing it to open. Denisse and Tony at J & R Auto Body were extremely professional and kind to us when we brought the car in for an estimate, and they made us feel like family by showing us around the shop and explaining everything to us. They were extremely intelligent and knew their jobs very well. We took the car to other shops for an estimate first and they were mediocre in comparison to J & R. They quoted us almost double what J & R did, and were nowhere near as kind and professional. I would highly recommend J&R Auto Body and will definitely return to them in future if the need arises (hopefully not too soon!) read more

I have used them on a couple of occasions, each time they have been excellent. They completed the front bumper repair within a couple of days. Their work is exceptional. I highly recommend their services for any auto body and paint repair. Also, their charges are reasonable. read more

Took my truck here after backing into a tree and my insurance preferred shop wasn't available. Glad i did. Place is family owned, small and professional. Good customer service, same price quote as the preferred shop and same warranty, but got a free rental, and got my truck back in half the time i was expecting. Highly recommended. read more

J & R Auto Body and Paint is definitely going to be my first place to go to from now on. They fixed my Nissan Altima within 3 days as they said they will. When I went to in for an estimate Denisse was really knowledgeable about her job and explained everything in great detail. I would upload the before and after pictures later when I get a chance. The job was amazingly done. read more

Bought my truck used with a repaint on it, the clear coat was coming off. Took it to J and R and they got my issue handled. Thanks to them truck looks brand new again read more

The customer service is amazing here and love that we are supporting local companies in Vista. Cheers to great service!

My wife's car was rear ended by a hit & run driver 2 weeks ago. Because the driver of my wife's car wasn't on her insurance policy we had to pay for the damage out of pocket. J & R Auto Body was a God send. We took my wife's car there and Rueben was very thorough in checking the damage to my wife's car. Because we were paying out of pocket Rueben was more than kind to help us get a fair price on fixing our car. He worked with us to ease the dent in our pocket books. I brought our car in last Thursday and just picked it up this morning (week later) & they did an AWESOME job fixing my wife's car. It looks better than it did pre accident. Thank you Rueben & staff for all your hard work. Great customer service, great work!!! I highly recommend J & R to anyone who is need of auto body work. Again, thank you Rueben, Denise & all the J & R Staff!! read more

I had such a great experience here! They are amazing and so friendly. I'm extremely picky about where I take my car, this is the only place I will go to from now on. They are very honest and trustworthy. I would definitely recommend this place. I am 100% satisfied with the work done on my car. :) read more

Ruben was THE BEST. He offered an extremely competitive price for our body repair. Had some hood damage to the front of my sedan & he fixed it within 2 hours when we thought it was a lost cause. I would highly recommend getting a quote where you can and then talking to these guys to see what they can do for you. read more

They did a fantastic job of fixing the paint peeling on the header of my BMW that is only 5 years old. They were quick, communicative and on-time. I would recommend them! read more

Was looking for a place to have my sons car fixed while he was on deployment. This place had awesome Yelp reviews and I can see why. We paid cash (no insurance) and they gave us a military discount also. They are quick, honest and did great work. Can't ask for much better! Oh wait! I got 7 estimates and they were about half the price of 3 shops. Guess you can ask for more! read more

This shop is great! Very trustworthy and honest. I took my truck to them twice and they made the process very easy for me. I would definitely recommend this shop! read more

This place is amazing! Ruben and Denise are great! Got my car done fast and it looks beautiful. I can't thank them enough!! I will recommend them to anyone who is looking for a great auto body and paint shop!! read more

This shop is awesome! Very trustworthy and honest. I have taken my truck into them twice and both times they made the process of dealing with my insurance very easy for me. They even went out of their way to have someone pick me up at enterprise so I wouldn't have to wait. I would definitely recommend this shop! read more

Great service and quick turnaround, would definitely recommend my family and friends to J&R Auto Body

The staff was very helpful and informative regarding my insurance claim. To be honest I didn't know what to expect since I had never been in an accident before this, so I am very thankful for all of their help. My car looks beautiful again. Thank you j & r I will keep recommending. read more

I had an accident involving my garage door, leaving my back lift open while backing out. Needless to say it ruin the back of my car from the license plate to the back window.. J&R service was impeccable from getting the estimate, dropping me at the car rental, painting the pearl paint to a perfect match! Every detail was looked at even getting me a new license plate holder. My car is brand new again since it was only 6 months old. Don't hesitate to call them you won't be disappointed!!! Love these people! read more

After spending an entire day getting over 5 estimates for my damaged bumper ( 2006 Honda Accord) starting with an internet search of local collision repair shops in the Escondido & surrounding areas, I called J & R Auto Body & Paint and drove to their shop in Vista. Ruben Barragan ( the owner) assessed the damage I had done to my car caused by miscalculating a wooden post in my carport. Rueben honestly told me the best thing to do was to replace the bumper entirely and he would be able to do this for under $500.00 in addition to completing the job in one day. The other quotes I recieved started from $500.00 to do a "patch" job to $674.75 to replace the bumper ( not using my insurance) or $738.99 if I used my insurance to $200.00 for yet another "patch" job with the highest estimate @ $1,052.93 to repair & replace the damaged bumper. By this point, I knew that J & R was the most reasonable & economical estimate and proceeded with the down payment needed to order the parts. I dropped my vehicle off @ 8:30 a.m. the following day & picked it up @ 6:30 on the same day. As a woman with no knowledge of the industry,I highly recommend this business and plan on referring everyone I know that needs collison or body work to them.Instead of taking advantage of my unfortunate situation- Rueben & his daughter were honest,professional,hard working and easily surpassed all of other businesses that I visited. I feel fortunate to have found them. Jessica Edwards read more

Excellent auto body repair. They are kind and treat you like family. They repaired my bumper from a park and hit and run . I was unable to get the license # of the party who did it . I am a teacher and they were very caring to my situation and fair in price. Work is impeccable and your car is clean when you pick it up. They are the best! Ask for Ray! read more

Had such a great experience today. The owner was so fast at figuring out what was wrong with my car and Denisse (Office Manager) was so professional and knowledgeable explaining it to me. I would definitely recommend this shop and go back again. read more

Ruben and his team at J & R Auto Body does outstanding work, paying attention to every detail and making sure I was satisfied. Ruben communicates the technical terms of the project that explain exactly what work is to be performed. I was very pleased with the front end body and paint work he did on my 1967 Camaro RS. Thanks Again Ruben! read more

So I scraped my beautiful F-150 on a pole and slightly dented it in a rush to get to an appointment one morning (like a moron). Distraught, I rushed over to J & R to see what they could do. They have worked on my dad and sister's cars before and knew it would be in good hands with Ruben. He is a very pleasant, polite man who is GREAT at what he does. He quoted me a very reasonable price, and a few days later he had my truck looking like brand new. I was so impressed with this shop and the friendly people working there I just had to leave a review! :) read more

I took my car, an Infiniti G35, for an estimate on repairing or possibly replacing the back bumper which had been hit by another car. I am beyond happy and satisfied with the service and repair from this auto body shop!!! Denisse at the front desk was very nice and knowledgeable about the necessary repairs my car would need in order to be fixed. She explained in detail the inner damaged areas from my car which could not be seen on the outside. I had gone in thinking that I just needed a repair but she recommended a bumper replacement due to the broken inside part of the bumper. She really cared and looked out for the best and explained to me why it was better to replace. Keep up the amazing work and I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this auto body shop to anyone who needs to repair their damaged car! Thank you so much for your help Denisse! read more

Talk about customer service. This place is great! There's a very sweet young lady that works at the front desk and from my understanding it's a family ran business which is always better than big corporate companies who are not willing to go the extra mile to make their customers happy. I took my car in and had it back before I knew it! I had discussed my situation and how important it was for me to have my car back and operable. They understood, took my concerns seriously and made things happen for me. When I got my car back it looked like nothing had ever happened to it. To say the least I highly recommend this business for anyone needing automotive work. Even if you just have questions they are a friendly, knowledgeable source. I will definitely be returning. Thanks Denisse and the team for all your hard work it's very much appreciated that you made my life less stressful!!! :) read more

Ruben and team did a great job on my truck. They were able to work with my insurance to get the correct amount of money to fix my truck plus fix an existing repair that was done incorrectly. Ruben and team even painted a few additional things on my truck without charging me just because it would have looked bad to leave it. Overall they did a great job got it done on time and slightly lower than the quote and it looks great. Very happy with the way my truck turned out, looks as good as new! read more

I am not interested going back to your shop for work as my car was there multiple times. I have explained this several times to the lady at your shop. I have engaged another shop who is known for their good work and have a good reputation. read more

I love J&R Auto. As awesome as they are to work with, I have unfortunately had to use them three times. But each time, it has been the same amazing service. They had affordable options, timely repairs, excellent work. This last time I was coordinating a rental car with my insurance company, who told me to call for a pick up when I was at the repair shop. When I did, they said they could not pick me up after all. So I was stranded there with my kids. J&R quickly stepped up and immediately offered to take me and my kids to the rental car location, even though it was several miles away. I would highly recommend them!! And though I hope I don't need their services any time soon, I would definitely use them again. read more

I took my new Tundra in for a fender bender. They delivered my truck back as promised and it looked as good as new. Hopefully I won't be back, but J and R would be my first choice for repairs. read more

I recently moved back to Vista from Arizona. I was on highway 78 when I missed a tire and some debris. Running over it cracked my bumper from underneath on my 2008 BMW 3 series. It was so bad it was pretty much dragging on my way home. I went a couple of body shops to ask for an estimate but most wanted me to schedule an appointment just to have someone take a quick look at it. Finally, once I had an appointment I went in to some of these places and most wanted around $1,400 to repair it, some places were even higher than that! My deductible is $1000, so I didn't want to go through my insurance. So I called around some more and found J & R Auto Body, they asked me to come in whenever it was convenient for me. The next day I went in with no appointment or anything and asked for an estimate on the work. Reuben took a look at my car and within minutes he was able to give me a few options depending on the type of replacement parts I wanted to use. I didn't get that option at the other places I had previously been to. He explained to me the difference between an OEM part from the dealership and an insurance quality CAPA after-market part. Both parts had the same warranty, so I felt comfortable with the after-market part. Best part of it all is that all the same parts and repairs would cost $969.20, just slightly less than my deductible!Since this is my only car, the girl at the front desk made arrangements for my bumper to be painted and other parts ordered before I came in for the installation. Reuben was able to readjust my bumper so it was no longer dragging, for free! He took my vehicle information, paint code, checked for variations by using paint chips right then and there to ensure it was a perfect match, and I paid for the bumper which would be painted for me ahead of time. I was shocked that they would go out of their way to help me avoid paying for a rental by planning my repairs around my schedule. Since I work Monday - Friday, I was able to bring my car in on a Saturday just a couple of hours later pick it up looking like new!They are dedicated to customer service and it shows. They went out of their way to make accommodations for me and showed they truly care. The price was reasonable since I was given options on parts and didn't have to use my insurance! The work is top notch and comes with a full warranty. I highly recommend J & R Auto Body. read more
