They did a great job matching the original paint color and repairing the fender. Highly recommend!

We have 2002 Honda Civic SI hatchback - great car! It had oxidation and needed minor repair. Maico went above and beyond our expectations in the outcome. We were pleasantly surprised at the work done by the specialists. It was like it was their own car they were updating and maintaining. I have to mention the three men in the office. They knew how important this car was to us, as it belonged to my mother - stick shift and all! Thank you kindly, Kurt, Al, and Chris. The same goes to the professionals that worked on this car. For those who love their car, and have a sentimental feeling for it, I would strongly recommend Maico in Kearney Mesa. read more

Maaco Auto Body Shop & Painting - Body Shops Near Me - San Diego, California

I highly recommend this particular Maaco. These guys took care of me. I had originally gone up the street to another body shop to get an estimate for my bumper and they were trying to replace the whole thing despite only a few clips missing. I'm so glad I decided to drive up the street to this particular Maaco. The supervisor provided me with such great service and he was very honest. It was clear the other shop was trying to rip me off. Al, the manager told me there was no need to replace the whole bumper. He went ahead and gave me an estimate for the bumper repair and a quote to paint my entire car. He gave me a great price, now my car is looking brand new despite being over 10 years old. I loved the quality of service they provided me at this location. There's another Maaco closer to my house but I'm glad I went with this one on Kearny Villa Rd. For everyone else being hesitant about getting quotes or looking to get collision repair; I definitely recommend this Maaco, the guys are not pushy, they're honest, friendly and I believe they give the best pricing. read more

My partner and I are not San Diego natives and researched several places with great reviews and at reasonable prices. This was among several places we research but we both agree this was the best place out all of them. Chris was very responsive when inquiring about quotes and set proper expectations. Al processed our intake information. Just picked up the car and it looks like perfect . They were able to repair the side door and front bumper after we experienced a hit and run. Matched the color perfectly. Please trust me when I tell you, come here. They're honest. They were even able to refer us a place to get our AC fixed too! Super happy with the service. read more

Had the roof and trunk painted on my Avalon about eight months ago or so. It was challenging to match the paint because of previous body and paint work on the car. Today I was admiring how good the car still looks; forgot to leave a review back when it was done read more

So apparently my review failed to post but I needed to make it a priority to get this up... This past January, I was in desperate need of body work and repairs on my 2004 Honda Accord that was my dearly departed mother's vehicle. My mother passed away from lung cancer and one of the last things she made me promise was to take good care of the Honda. The vehicle's Blue Book value is less than $3k but the sentimental value is priceless. My mom and I shared countless memories, both great and bad, during the good times before she was diagnosed with cancer and all throughout her 7 years of treatment. Our last moments together were in that car, when I had to race her to the Emergency Room the for what was to be the last time. Whenever I sit in the drivers seat I feel her embrace and remember holding hands as we drove about. The sentimental stuff aside, I took the vehicle to the Maaco off Kearny Villa road after speaking with Al Ramirez, the store manager. Al is a no nonsense guy that tells you how it is and won't try to upsell or pitch you on what you don't need. He's a standup person and he takes pride in his work as does his team. After some discussion and explaining that times were a bit tough on my pocketbook, Al gave me a very generous price on their best paint option. The vehicle had probably 30+ dings, numerous dents, a busted trunk lid, messed up bumpers, and all the trim was peeling away from years of heavy use and neglect. To say it was in bad shape externally is a true understatement! That said, the vehicle never missed a tune up, service, or oil change from DCH Honda where we purchased it and only has 120k miles which is just broken in for a Honda; in all honesty, that car will probably outlive me! Al let me know that when he gets done with it, the vehicle won't be perfect but it'll look 100% better than it did. Aside from a bit of miscommunication on the front bumper which he thought he could rig back on but ended up being too warped from so much damage, all went perfect. Even after having to order a new bumper post-paint and bodywork, Al gave me a VERY fair price to have the bumper done again after purchasing a new one from Honda. I was blown away with the final results! The vehicle isn't perfect but it's damn near close to perfect and I don't feel embarrassed driving it as my daily-driver like I did prior to his team working their magic. I even threw some new wheels on it to replace the original hubcaps that looked horrible. I've gotten tons of compliments and it's all thanks to Al and his team. I'd like to send a huge shoutout to Al and the Maaco team, albeit extremely late, and recommend Maaco off Kearney Villa Rd. to anyone wanting a fair price, for paint and bodywork, from an honest person. Thank you so much Al and team! Ive recommended you to about a dozen folks and will make sure this review is posted properly this time! read more

**Best Service and impeccable work on the hood of my car.** I had a deep dent on my Lexus RZ330E that was caused by a big rock. The staff was courteous and very detailed when fixing and painting the car to match it perfectly. They also worked incredibly fast so I could get my car back within 3 days!!! read more

Came here after being recommended Chris and Al from two different body shops in Kearney Mesa who aren't fans of working on older cars. Brought a 2001 Toyota Land Cruiser that had a messed up driver's side door, weird two-tone paint scheme on the bottom parts of the doors that another owner did (which was falling off since it was sprayed on top of factory clear coat), and 24 years worth of dents. Walked in and spoke to Chris and later Al. Both were upfront about what they would be doing and what to watch out for in the future with the panels they wouldn't be working on since I was just asking to get the sides done. Got quoted a more than fair price for this monster of an SUV and got it back after a week. These guys killed it. It was a factory-quality paint job and auto body work that even came with a detail! They went above and beyond. It was fun to talk to these guys and more than a pleasure working with them. When the budget permits, I'll be back to finish the rest of the truck. read more

Maaco Auto Body Shop & Painting - My truck - Body Shops Near Me - San Diego, California

After doing a little homework online, I decided to take my 2014 Nissan Frontier over to Maaco Auto Body for an estimate. Years of sitting under the relentless sun had taken their toll, leaving the clearcoat on the hood of my pickup in rough shape. It was late on a Saturday--just before closing--but Al still took the time to give me a quick estimate. I already had a rough idea of what I was willing to spend to have the hood redone, and to my surprise, his quote came well under that number. That was all I needed to hear--I left the truck in his hands. To my amazement, Al called me Monday afternoon to say the truck was ready for pickup! When I showed up Tuesday morning, I was genuinely impressed by the quality of the work. The paint wasn't just limited to the hood--they had skillfully blended it into the surrounding panels so the color flowed seamlessly with the rest of the truck. Even better, they'd repaired a small dent near the front of the hood at no extra charge. I can't say enough good things about this shop. Al and his team did a top-notch job, ahead of schedule, and for a great price. If you're looking for any kind of body or paint work, I'd absolutely recommend Maaco. They knocked it out of the park! read more

Time will tell on paint durability, but it looks great now and cost much less than alternatives.

I had my 2010 Honda Element re-painted by Maaco as I had a lot of sun damage to the hood and the top. They did an excellent job, matching the paint perfectly and doing a quality job. They also worked efficiently and I had the car back in a little over a week. Compared to other estimates I had heard for painting the car, their price was very fair. The advisor, Al, was very helpful and answered all questions I had. I highly recommend Maaco. Martchen C. read more

My 2020 Subaru Forester Touring had paint peeling from the hood and needed to be stripped down and repainted. My back tailgate was peeling as well. I took my Subaru to many different auto body shops and most shops were quoting me around $2,000 to strip/sand down and repaint the hood and back tailgate. I decided to go to Maaco and they quoted my $1,000. At first, I thought it was too good to be true, but after doing some research, I learned that Maaco offers a 3-5 year warranty for paint jobs. None of the the other paint and body shops were willing to do a warranty that matched Maaco's or match their price. Of course, all the other paint and body shops warned me that Maaco uses inferior products and it's not possible to do work that cheap. After Maaco re-painted my Subaru hood and back tailgate, it looked like a brand new vehicle, I am so happy I chose them. When I took my Subaru into Maaco, I met Chris and Al, and both were amazing to work with. I worked primarily with Chris and he was honest from the start and didn't try to overcharge me. He explained the re-painting process and made me feel very comfortable. In addition to being the cheapest paint option, Maaco also had the nicest and most honest employees. If you're thinking about repainting or getting body work done to your vehicle, at the very least, get a quote from Chris and Al and Kearney Mesa Maaco. It will be the best decision, you ever make. read more

Sweet - in and out... I have an older 2005 BMW 3 series that I like and just not ready to let go... She started getting that delamination and just wasn't looking good. I had my trunk done by Maaco a bunch of years ago. I checked some other shops and decided to go with Maaco again. Prices are good and the turnaround time was quick. And, the dudes there were great. Easy to work with, explained their process and easygoing... The whole experience was good and I would use them again. read more

The experience was perfect! Al was great, explained the process to enable me to make the right decision for the refurbishment of the vehicle. The paint job is just like new and blends with the non-painted portions. The veterans discount was greatly appreciated as was the on-time completion. read more

Do not fall for the $599 coupon that claims to paint your entire car. It's misleading! I got there and they said that it would be $1299 minimum if we wanted it to "look good". Another quote was well over $3,000. Total bait and switch. It was a waste of time and I will be going elsewhere. Save yourself the time and effort. read more

Al is great! He was professional and clearly explained the different quality of paint and all involved. I was surprised at the cost. Much more affordable than I anticipated. It was worth every penny. It looks like a new car!! I'm absolutely thrilled. These guys are the best. I highly recommend!! Love my new car! Lola J.Hernandez read more

Maaco was professional and very helpful! I called several auto body shops looking for availability and the best price for my window molding, and Maaco offered the most reasonable rate--much lower than the others, and the best customer service. Ali, the manager, and Chris were both extremely professional and great to work with. They made great efforts to find the parts for my 2005 volvo. Their technicians removed the old seals and installed the new ones in less than 30 minutes. Excellent job all around! Thank you, Maaco (5670 Kearny Villa Rd, San Diego, CA 92123). read more

I brought in my wife's beat up car for a total repaint. It had body damage, paint and clear coat flaking off, and sun damage. We dropped off the car around the holidays and picked it up about two weeks later. It looks brand new. Shiny, dent free, and beautiful. I would like to thank Al for being a very accommodating and thorough person. We were embarrassed about our car's condition and he made us feel at ease. The pricing was pretty fair for a whole car renovation. I would recommend! read more

The guys at Maaco are amazing! Super helpful and very straightforward & knowledgeable. They helped me with my car and fixed it within 2 weeks. I had no insurance at the time so I paid out of pocket for my front number and lifted hood but they took care of me and I didn't feel like I was being price gauged. They were excellent, I highly recommend coming here for all your Auto Body needs. read more

Great experience and great prices! The manager at Maaco is so kind and informative of the process and after care for cars. They show pictures of the painting process so you know it was done right. They even had my car done days before the expected pick up. My battery died as I was taking my car home and he even installed a new battery for me on the spot. I highly recommend going to them for any car work or paint jobs. They really go above and beyond. Thank you Al! read more

Maaco was great when fixing my rear end. They were able to make my car good as new and returned it nice and clean. Would recommend!

Chris is fantastic. So helpful. Great service and outcome. Very reasonable compared with other shops. Highly recommend!

Yesterday, June 9, 2025 I went to your shop at 5670 Kearny Villa Rd, San Diego, CA 92123 for my scheduled appointment to paint my Honda Odyssey 2005. I met a guy named Al Ramirez, the manager - as it listed on the business card found on the front desk, but when I asked for his name his response was "Al, but just for today". I asked him what his real name was on another day, and his response was "anything you want". To make it short, I asked him to give me an estimate to repaint my car and he gave me a reasonable estimate. I asked him to add a dent repair to the estimate, and he gave me a reasonable number as well. Then, he started to act very weird. When I asked him for a sheet with a step-by-step breakdown of the service costs, he took the estimate which was printed on a paper in front of me on the desk and he crumpled it and threw it in the trash. I asked him why he had done this and his response was "have a good day". Please keep in mind, I was very polite throughout the entirety of the conversation, never once did I have a change in tone or attitude. I told him this behavior is unacceptable and not necessary, and he repeated again "have a good day". I told him I needed the estimate and asked if he could reprint it. He picked the crumpled copy from the trash can and gave it to me and he said to me a third time "have a good day". A manager should act professionally and work towards the best interest of the business. I complained to the head office of Maaco and but I was told I need to deal with the owner directly. This behavior should not be accepted or tolerated. Here is the bottom line, if anyone is not interested in their job, they should be looking elsewhere. This brings shame to the company and its employee read more

Took my car 15 year old car in with an oxidized spot forming on the roof, several small chips from people dinging my sides parking, and a weather stripping that had fallen completely off. Maaco got my car back a little more than a week later looking brand new. Fantastic work. read more

Kearny Villa Rd Maaco is awesome! This past month, Jan 2026- I accidentally pulled my car, a 2013 Nissan Ultima, forward in a parking lot not realizing that a portion of a planter was directly in the path of my right wheel. My right wheel rolled over the edge and into the planter, I scraped the bottom of the car when I reversed to get out of the planter. it pulled my bumper loose, so I had something dragging under the car and the bumper was no longer attached on the right. I had done business with Al, the manager and his team at Maaco five years previous in which they completely took care of our 2000 Dodge Dakota truck that had been in a minor accident. They did a fabulous job on finding the parts for it as well --when no one else at several shops did not wanted to deal with it and gave me the run around, Maaco Kearny Villa Rd came through with superior results!! The Dodge Dakota looked better than before.!! Such positive customer service!! And they did the same excellent workmanship on my Nissan Altima issue.. Thank you Al and Chris (at the front desk) and all the team at Maaco Kearny Villa for your superior workmanship and customer service not easily found in business these days!! You make ALL THE DIFFERENCE in the world!! read more

First off my 4 Runner is a 1999 and getting the right parts for it was challenging, but this company handled it so well. Tyra is the person I dealt with mostly and let me tell you she's fantastic, and so knowledgeable. She guided me through all the decisions I had to make and kept in touch with me every single step of the way. She sent me progress photos and called me to see if I was happy as the job progressed. I mean the customer service was absolutely amazing. As for the way my truck turned out, it's been 2 weeks and I still walk down 3 flights of stairs just to go look at how beautiful it is! The guys who did the work are real pro's. They didn't miss a single thing, my truck looks brand new. The manager was also great. He went above and beyond to get me the paint I liked. All I have to say is don't hesitate to pick this place for your work. You'll be as happy as me! read more

We brought our weathered 2005 Prius in for a paint job and loved the results--it made such a difference, we just wish we'd done it sooner. Chris was great, very easy to work with and we never felt pressured. They did the job faster than we expected and even corrected some blemishes that had been bothering us for years. It's a real facelift for the car and makes me happy to see it in the driveway now. I had called around beforehand and Maaco seemed like the best value; we'd definitely go back to them. read more
