With so many crazy drivers and everyone rushing to get nowhere there are bound to be unforseen and unfortunate fender benders and car accidents. I had someone hit my Mercedes-Benz and was referred to Legacy Auto Body as a quality shop that provides top shelf repairs at competitive pricing. I stopped in and spoke with the owner Peter Rivera. What a true professional and someone who you know will handle your project with the utmost care, skill and quality. I dropped my car off and Peter gave me updates along the way and when I picked up the car it looked new. He even took care of a small chip on the hood that wasn't mentioned as part of the project. Peter and his team are true craftsmen and artists in their trade. I have since referred Legacy Auto Body to many friends and neighbors and can't thank Peter and his team of professionals enough for the quality experience, transparency, honesty and stellar customer service. Highly recommended read more

Came here twice.... Both times for Mercedes body repairs. Peter is amazing and I can't say enough great things about him and Legacy. I'm not an easy customer and extremely picky and I can easily say I'll never go to another body shop! We've referred a few friends and they have been very happy as well. Prices are fair and turnaround times are very fast compared to other larger body shops. Highly recommend! read more

They do great work, communicate well, and finish their the job on time. They came highly recommended to me and I was very satisfied.

I have a 20 year old Tundra that had significant paint peeling. Jasmine quoted the work and recommended things I had not considered. I opted to follow her recommendations and am very glad I did. The paint matches beautifully and sanding the headlights then clear coating them makes the truck look almost new. So good in fact that I had some trim pieces replaced to complete the facelift. Many thanks to Jasmine and the crew at the shop. I will highly recommend them as the opportunity presents itself. read more

I have used this shop twice and both times the quality of work is incredible. Peter runs and professional shop.

Always a great experience here , whether they were working on my 1940 Ford, 2017 Mazda, 2020 Nissan or my Saturn. They delivered excellent service in the time promised. Great family owned and run business. read more

Recently brought my wife's car in to repair some damage to the rear deck lid. We got 5 or so estimates and Legacy was the final quote. After talking to Peter and getting our quote, the smaller local small business type feel this place had was what sealed our decision to use them. Peter was super friendly and his quote was along the lines of the others. Legacy just had a more personal feel to it, not like a bigger corporate type place. Not that that is always bad, we just prefer to take care of smaller businesses. The car took 2 1/2 days as quoted. They were prompt on getting to us as soon as it was ready. The workmanship was excellent. We are so happy to have gone with Legacy. Jasmine (I believe was her name) was super polite and very friendly as well. If you're looking for great service and great quality work, you cannot go wrong with Legacy! read more

I have been to a few auto body shops in the past and I'm a firm believer in family owned businesses since I own my own billiards store .I have a f250 2011 pickup truck and I got rear ended and needed a new bumper. The service was exceptional and the repair was spot on. If you ever need your car or truck fixed this is the place. Forsure. read more

My drivers side door was dented pretty badly. I took it in to Legacy and they explained the process, how it would be handled and corrected very thoroughly. They gave me an estimate which I felt was fair and reasonable. When I picked my car up, it was as if it had never been touched. The paint was identical and the dent was completely out! I would definitely recommend them for any auto body work needed! read more

The most reputable and topnotch work I have ever known. To say I highly recommend Legacy Auto Body is a huge understatement. They are fair and do amazing work. I will never go anywhere else! read more

Being a car enthusiast I pay very close attention to detail when it comes to cars especially when handing over my keys. Got into a little family friend accident and my Civic was hit right on the quarter panel (only). Not the biggest dent but there was a a gnarly wrinkle that PDR could not fix. Legacy pricing is okay but also they aren't punks working on your car which I really appreciate. I took it in and 3 days later it was done. I wasn't quite happy with the job, but accidents happen! It was very VERY close but not to my approval, the color seemed right but the flake was slightly off. I pointed that out and WITHOUT hesitation they looked further into it. Paint work needs to be extremely accurate and especially with the slightest paint fade can make it a challenge. Got it back from Round 2 about a week after originally dropping it off. It came out ABSOLUTELY flawless can't even tell it was hit. Really appreciate them not telling me to deal with it or trying to charge me even more afterwards. No body is perfect, even I at first glance missed it but only once I pulled out my (make believe) magnifying glass did I notice it was ever so slightly off. Thats how you run a body shop. Thank you guys for taking care of my car and treating me with respect. 5 Stars for how these guys handle business. Definitely recommend if you are looking for a decent sized repair or respray. Thanks again. read more

We were recommended this place by a local mechanic and took our car in. It's definitely an old car with an after-market hybrid battery, but it always runs. We have maintained it over the years, and even though it looks not-so-great it has always worked well. Our car was hit on the front and needed body repair. The impact was light and at very low speed. Mechanically we had no issues driving it around until we found a repair shop. When we took the car in there were no problems with any of the driving functionality of the car. When my wife went to pick it up, as soon as she started the car the dash lit up with everything. The shop had not told her anything about this and were apparently hoping we would just drive off. My wife went in to ask what was going on, and they sent someone out with a code reader to try to "clear all the lights". They kept the car a few more days to look at it and then notified us that the hybrid battery was broken and beyond warranty. That's it, they didn't acknowledge that they had done anything to cause this or offer any financial assistance in getting it repaired. For 4 years it had driven great on this battery, and after a few days in their shop the battery no longer worked. They bent over backwards to prove that the battery was old and past warranty and that "these batteries normally die after two years". It seems absolutely dishonest and unhelpful. I left feeling cheated and ripped off. I'm still thinking about suing, but I doubt that its worth it. read more

Wow!! Great Service!! My wife was rear ended on the freeway in her new car. Jasmine coordinated the whole thing with the insurance company, repaired the rear bumper, and was finished sooner than the promised completion time. When I arrived, the car looked fantastic, I was worried about the paint match due to a multistage pearl paint color, you can't even tell it was painted and I have a keen eye! Last year I dropped off a car body that I am restoring for a complete paint job, what a fantastic job they did. read more

Legacy Auto Body - Moke body painted to perfection! - Body Shops Near Me - Mission Viejo, California

Got into an accident with my 2011 Genesis coupe, and when I had it towed to an appraiser, the driver recommenced this spot. Checked out YELP, and decided to give them a shot. So after a month of waiting, back and forth, talking with Peter, what's my verdict? This place is my new body spot. Hands down. Was the month a little longer than a normal collision? Yes. But Peter never lost communication, told me exactly what was happening, and was honest with me. And when I was reunited with my baby? Everything I asked for (in addition to the work required by insurance) was done beautifully. Paint was flawless, the car looked brand new from the first 6 inches. No bubbles, drips, fades, etc, It was great! So great, that I already recommenced my friends to him, and they've gotten work done there too. From what I understand its a family run establishment, and I hope they keep it this way. I'll be getting all my work done here... and I hope you all decide to do the same after reading this review. read more

I was referred to Legacy Auto Body buy one of the top Car Audio shops around....Audio Lab in Lake Forest......Sam told me that for High end Vehicles that no one in town could match "Frozen" Or high end Matt paint like Legacy Auto Body......Peter took my new BMW M5 and matched the body better than than manufactured paint job from BMW did......I've never seen anything like what Legacy Auto body had done! I'n fact I just recently took the M5 back in to perform some cosmetic upgrade and they nailed it better than the first time!!! Mind Blowing.......Other Customers from Legacy told me that Peter @ Legacy was able to match his high end paint job on his Testla which was metallic Red that no other shop in O.C. Was able to match.......I would definitely recommend anyone that has a high performance vehicle over a 100k to take their vehicle to Legacy......The office manager Jasmin.......was not only professional, but she also has over 15 years experience in the industry and was able teach me about color matching & paint & auto body before the car even reached the shop!!......The was very impressive!!! There's no where else that I would recommend in So-Cal.....They are super impressive Turner. K read more

Incredible experience in bringing my Mercedes C250 for a new front bumper. Fair & honest pricing, paint color match was spot on & car was completed on time. I went with Legacy based on google's reviews so I definitely wanted to share mine with the community. Can't go wrong with this auto body shop. read more

Went to Yelp looking for a body shop with good reviews and there were several. We called our top 3 and they all responded pretty quick, but Legacy is a family owned and operated business and we decided to give them a try. We have a new vehicle and the paint color isn't super common so I was a little concerned and they nailed it! The turnaround was right on. They worked hard and it showed! We couldn't be happier! Thank you Legacy, you have our business! read more

My 1996 GMC Suburban was stolen and recovered. Legacy Auto Body corrected the damage done to the driver's door, but insurance would only cover painting the door. Pete Rivera, the owner, gave me a fair and equitable quote to paint my entire Suburban. The finished product exceeded my expectations. The whole process was done in a professional and expeditious manner. Without reservation, I highly recommend Legacy Auto Body to anyone in need of auto repair or painting. read more

Great family business and excellent service. They are really good at what they do. I have taken x3 cars and walked away very satisfied with the Quality of work... Very professional. read more

This place is great. The staff is really courteous, knowledgeable, and helpful. My car was fixed within days. They took care of everything. I couldn't find the damaged spot on my car after the repair. I highly recommend Legacy Auto Body. Also, I know it's a little thing, but a few days after the repairs I received a thank you card. Small token of appreciation from their business. That was really nice of them. read more

I had shopped around for a body and paint shop for my 1967 Hillman Husky...anywhere from Escondido, San Clemente, Lake Forest. I fully expected the car to be gone for a year...:( Then I was referred to Victor at Legacy Auto Body..1 mile from my house. He came to my house..gave me an estimate...picked up the car and had it completed in less than 2 months and under budget... This is a family owned business and they couldn't be nicer to work with...! Victor, Peter, Jasmine and the rest of the crew were wonderful...! I visited them a lot and they had so much business coming and going and it all looked great... Highly recommend....!!!!! 5 Stars read more

Legacy Auto Body is a phenomenal business. The owner goes above and beyond what customers expect. I have had 4 different vehicles worked on at Legacy and each experience is better than the last one. Their work is meticulous. Once you have your body work done there, you'll find yourself returning. read more

I had the absolute pleasure to work with Jasmine and Pete over at Legacy on my 2018 Audi R8. It had rock chips on the hood and front bumper as the previous owner did not clear bra the car. Pete and Jasmine provided 24K service from beginning to end. The chips are gone and the car looks amazing! Great job on the paint match too! Its perfect!!! Absolutely phenominal shop and they are my go to if needed in the future - hopefully not. I'd recommend them to anyone Thank you guys! read more

This a great family business that does excellent work and who stand behind their work. If you have a tough color you need matched, they can do it. I can't recommend them enough. read more

Come on down and ask for Peter. I have a couple things done to my truck and couldn't be happier! Each time Peter went over the job and executed exactly what he said he would do at a very high quality job. The next time you need body work, paint job, or anything else related give them a chance. I'm happy that I did :) read more

Brought in my 2019 Cement Grey Tacoma that needed a new lower bumper valence as well as some paint. I am picky with cars, but glad I went to Legacy. Paint matches perfectly, fair pricing, and the service was great! 100% would recommend Legacy to all my friends and family. Thank you guys! read more

I was very selective with whom I was going to use to restore my Lexus LX470. Shopped around to several shops. It was clear that Legacy was by far the best. The service by Jasmine & Peter were amazing. The communication, speed and quality blew my exptations away. I highly recommend Legacy. Don't waste your time shopping around. I wish I had more cars to restore! Dave Mann read more

I had some front end damage on the right driver side of my car due to my being ridiculously tired and using the break as the gas pedal. I was referred to Peter and team from a customer of mine and what an excellent referral it was! He was so incredibly accommodating and took care of me right away! He is incredibly professional and kind and even though my accident was during the holidays he had it done incredibly quick! He was upfront with all of the charges there were no hidden surprises or fees and the car looked just beautiful!! I highly recommend Peter and Legacy for any of your auto work! I will absolutely be recommending him and if I ever need him again, will be going back!! Thank you team!! read more

I went to about 5 or 6 places all around south Orange County to get a quote on my car, and yes, most people were friendly, but they gave me the best quote with the fastest time. Most places said it would take a week to fix my car and these guys fixed it in three days. They were easy to communicate with, always friendly, and they did an AMAZING job on my car. They didn't charge me a penny more than they quoted and on top of all that, I'm pretty sure they cleaned my car even though it had been raining like crazy. I would honestly recommend to anyone that needs body work done to their car. read more

Awesome body shop, only place I'll go too, they do amazing work and are an honest shop.

Took my 19 Avalon here to fix some damage that was done to my car. The price was great but most of all the people where amazing, jasmine was helpful from beginning to end, she kept me informed the whole process and my car looks good as new. And not only did they fix but they detailed inside and out. If I could give 10 stars I would and I know where I'm coming for future body shop needs. Highly recommend quality and price can't be beat read more

This body shop is the best! Their attention to detail to produce quality work is unmatched. They are also very responsive and genuinely care about their customers. read more

I don't leave many reviews but my latest experience with Legacy is something I want to share. It's easy to say great things when the work goes well, which was the case with the past work they have done with my cars. But this last time I had an issue that I wanted corrected, and to be honest, the issue was minor and probably would have been fine. Peter and Jasmine made sure I was satisfied AND were so professional! They set the standard for customer service and Legacys' quality is unmatched. read more

These folks are tremendous! Great work at a reasonable price! My Suburban looks like new! They make you feel like they really care about you being more than just satisfied. They are the best! As the work went along they called to keep me updated and asked about things that came up during the repair. Jasmine at the front desk is a gem. I will definitely go back if I need auto body work done again on any of my vehicles. read more

A bit skeptical of auto shops due to the attention to detail that I am looking for. Peter walked the vehicle with me on arrival, quoted me a really great price, honestly much lower than expected. I have a Tesla Model S that needed some paint touch ups, side skirt, front lip paint etc. Appointment was set a few days following, and the work was done within a few hours. Car looks like new. Great service, great work. Highly recommended. read more

Took my 2016 Panamera Turbo S there 2 weeks ago. Peter took me from initial inspection to final delivery. He was excellent. The repair was done very well. He texted me throughout the repair process so I always knew what was happening. Thanks Peter. read more

Legacy Auto Body has amazing customer service! It's hard to find an honest body shop that will do great work. This is the place. I love small, family owned & operated shops. Jasmine is super friendly, Pete is honest & easy to work - always available when you need an update on your vehicle & Victor is working side by side his children making satisfied customers every day. I took my sons car there - they did amazing work. My fiances car got hit (brand new) in a parking lot - they fixed it flawlessly. They have great attention to detail and I feel very confident in taking my vehicles there as well as sending people I know there. If you are looking for a great body shop - please give Legacy a chance, you won't be disappointed! read more
