My mom has trusted De Alba Spring Street with her vehicles for many years. She isn't the best…read moredriver, but she always went back because they consistently treated her with patience and kindness. Even as she's gotten older, they've taken the time to explain what her vehicle needed in a way she could understand and always provided repair options to fit different budgets, which I really appreciated. As my mom's health has declined, it's become even more clear that they genuinely care about her as a person, not just as a customer. That kind of compassion is rare. If you're looking for an auto body shop, I highly recommend De Alba Spring Collision. They're a family-owned business that takes pride in serving the La Mesa community, and it shows in the way they treat their customers.

By the way, this is a second review despite it showing it linked to a review a few years back. Different trucks and different work. Needed my 2008 GX470's OEM front bumper reinstalled after the truck had been fitted with a custom off-road high clearance version. SSCP ordered the needed parts as items such as front bumper brackets and fasteners were forever lost. They even fabricated (at no additional cost) two small attachment points as portions of the truck were cut during the off-road bumper install. Truck looks great, they communicated the few deviations from a completely stock fit, specifically that the fender liners, due to oversized tires, could not be installed all the way at this time and the cut liners remain. These can be replaced and fit to stock should I go back to stock size wheels and tires. Car was delivered! Car was cleaned / detailed! Both unexpected perks when I first chose to have them do the work. Price was very fair given the ask and I recommend this shop for your car repair needs. Should this or one of my other cars/trucks need attention, I will not hesitate to contact them. Thank you SSCP.

Their prices are competitive, the work is high quality, and they even have a shuttle service, which is genuinely useful. Their staff has always been friendly and approachable. I've never had anyone there speak down to me or treat me rudely because I'm a woman, which is more than I can say for other auto shops I've been to. When there's a delay, they tell me. When I call, they get back to me. I always know what's going on with my car. I also want to specifically call out Margaret, who handles insurance claims after an accident. She's really efficient, which means you get your car back as quickly as possible with as little drama as possible. I'm thrilled with Bond's and will happily recommend them to anyone looking for a mechanic or auto body shop.

From start to finish, the service was great. I was kept informed of the status of repairs…read more They'll shuttle you if neccessary. The end result is a car that's back to what it was before some numbskull backed into me. Body work, painting, all good. Gap tolerances between sides were within 1/32". And the car was nicely detailed. One thing to keep in mind: credit or debit incurs a 3% service charge. No personal checks. So, not the most consumer friendly policy if your insurance pays you directly for either initial appraisal or total. That might keep me from going back if the estimate was greater than this one. I'm giving Fix a 5, but the cc service charge wasn't told to me up front. Choose accordingly.

Caliber Collision

Good Afternoon, I…read morewould like to express how grateful I am to have visited the Caliber Collision Center in La Mesa. I had initially taken my car to another body repair shop nearby to have my front end painted and some dents removed. I became extremely dissatisfied over the next few days with the manager and his poor communication skills. Over a two-day period, I would receive a phone call about another so-called issue with my car that should have been explained initially. The last straw was when they removed my front bumper then told me it had been glued on and that they didn't want to take the risk of putting it back on with screws since it wasn't something they were comfortable with doing. I then took my car to Caliber Collision and from the very beginning, Alfredo (Perez) listened to my concerns and then took the time to carefully explain about the parts needed along with the estimate. He made sure that all of my questions were then answered to the fullest. I was very impressed with his level of expertise and professionalism. After making the decision to drop off my car, he made sure to contact me daily on its status to keep me abreast of any changes. In the end, I received another front bumper which was painted and all of the dents and scratches were removed. My car looks brand new, and the final repair cost was very affordable. If I had left my car at the other shop, it would have been way more and none of my other concerns would have been touched without having to pay thousands more and I'm pretty sure I would have been stuck with my old front-end bumper. I would highly recommend Caliber Collision on Center Drive in La Mesa and ask for Alfredo. My sincere thanks to both him and everyone who worked on my car. I'm a customer now for life. Mary S.

Where things started to slip was on the pickup side. I was told the car was ready, but still ended up waiting about 30-40 minutes before actually getting it. At checkout, I was also surprised to see a tip screen with suggested amounts that felt pretty high given the service. I ended up leaving a small tip, but the experience itself didn't really match that level of expectation. I also would have appreciated a quick walkthrough of the work that was done--especially at that price point--but it was more of a quick handoff of the keys. I came back for the 10-day follow-up and made a point to ask about timing ahead of time. I was told it would take about an hour. I arrived early, but after an hour the car hadn't been touched yet, and there wasn't any update unless I asked. That part was frustrating. So, they ended up rushing my 10-day follow-up inspection. Gave the car a quick rinse and handed me the keys. What was the point of driving down from Carlsbad??? Over 3 hours wasted. For comparison, I had a great experience at their Kearny Mesa location previously, so I know what they're capable of. This location is stretched thin, which seemed to impact communication and overall service. I was not the only customer in the lobby feeling this way. Given the type of clientele they're working with and the pricing, I was expecting a bit more consistency and attention to detail. Their follow-up consisted of more sales pitches of coupons for services I already had done. Would have been nice to have the discounts PRIOR to the work! I planned on using the wash program and mentioned to Jasmine my poor service experience. Think there was follow-up? Nada. So, thumbs "kind of" up for Ceramic Pro but thumbs down for this location. Overall, I think the company itself does good work, and have used the Kearny Mesa location in the past several times with excellent success!! I would not choose this location again.
