    They removed parts that did not need to be removed. The manager got upset when I told him the door closed perfectly when it was towed in.

    As an avid car builder, a former collision centers/body shop for 20 years, and belonging to a prestigious car club, I have never experienced an unprofessional collision center as bad as World Auto Body in my life!!. I don't do Yelp! I never do complaints as this is my first time ever, so this goes to show how bad they are. They worked on parts that had no purpose being worked on like my door and driver side headlight that was included in the estimate. It was not part of the accident! (My door closed perfectly because it was untouched! I have photos to verify it!) They left my window down in my truck, letting water and rain get inside and gave an estimate that's very inflated! So much I, as a former adjuster/estimator cannot figure out how they came to the price which has been verified and supported by other professional collision centers. The manager was very rude and very unprofessional. He threatened me all because I complained about my door being taken apart. When I asked him if they could put it back together he said, "We're not doing s***!!!", all because I told him the door was not damaged. He walked towards me in a threatening matter and threw me off the property for saying he was being unprofessional!! Again I have never dealt with unprofessionalism on this level in my 50 years of living so do not take your car here or you're gonna get burned by over inflated prices, your vehicle will be left unattended with windows down with no care in the world, and they will include parts and labor prices for things that aren't needed! So, please be aware and look into other shops before you go there! (I wouldn't go there PERIOD if I was you!). If your insurance company refers them, tell them NO THANK YOU and mention this review! I'm willing to speak to them on your behalf! P.S. They want to charge me a fee for taking the truck apart including the door they had no reason to take apart! BEWARE!!!

    Before

    This is my second time using World Auto Body on Marshall in El Cajon. Attached are two photos of my vehicle before and after repairs. I couldn't be happier with the outcome and the work was completed a week ahead of schedule. Thanks to Edgar and the techs who completed the repairs. Robert

    "Closing Soon"

    Came for my car right after work excited because it's been 2-3 weeks not having it! And it said they closed at 5 and I got here at 4:45 just in time... so I thought. Apparently they close 15 min before so they should put in there that they close at 4:45 and not 5. Now I have my whole weekend without my car because they decided to close early in a Friday.

    See all

Grateful for the great service and aloha throughout the experience

    Exceptional Service, Every Single Time…read more I've honestly lost count of how many vehicles I've had done at One of One -- and that alone should tell you everything. Just had my Model X fully PPF'd and tinted, and once again, the results are absolutely flawless. What truly sets them apart (beyond the incredible workmanship) is their customer service. They greet you by name the moment you walk in -- and that kind of personal touch is rare these days. Dawn, Alex, and Andrea are warm, professional, and incredibly detail-oriented, and the install team in the back is simply next level. You can tell everyone here genuinely takes pride in their craft. The PPF application is surgically clean -- edges are perfect, panels line up beautifully, and the finish looks factory (if not better). The tint completely transforms the car, both aesthetically and functionally. Heat rejection is noticeable immediately, and the overall look is sleek, aggressive, and refined. What really separates One of One from everyone else is that they don't just install film -- they deliver craftsmanship. They use top-tier materials, but more importantly, they take the time to do things right. No shortcuts. No rushed jobs. Just precision. Pricing is more than fair for the quality of work you're getting. In vehicle protection, the real value isn't just the product -- it's the people installing it. If you care about your car and want it done properly the first time, this is the place. I couldn't recommend them more highly.

Even though the problem wasn't caused by his shop, he still stepped up and took care of me like a true professional. Ali ordered the part I needed right away, kept me updated, and had his technician inspect the door thoroughly. Once the part arrived, they got everything installed and fixed up perfectly. No excuses, no runaround, just solid customer service and real accountability. You don't find shops like this often. If you want a place that treats you right and stands behind their work, Stereo Depot is that spot. Appreciate you, Ali! Highly recommend

From the very beginning, Hussan made sure I was taken care of and got me in quickly without making me feel like just another customer. The communication throughout the entire process was amazing. Kyle constantly kept me updated with progress, answered my questions, and made sure I knew exactly what was going on every step of the way. What really stood out was how professional and detail-oriented the team was when fixing the mistakes left behind by my previous wrap guy. They genuinely cared about making the car right again instead of cutting corners. The quality of the work, transparency, and customer service completely restored my trust. If you're looking for a shop that actually values their customers, communicates well, and takes pride in their work, I highly recommend them. Easily one of the best experiences I've had with a car shop.

We took our art work in with us to try and get it exactly how we imagined the vehicle to look. Steve was awesome helping us get the placement right. Alec also stepped in and made suggestions on the finish product. Here is the kicker and main reason for the 5 star review. Once we agreed to go with a matte instead of gloss the process began. When we went to pick it up there was a mix up somewhere and gloss was installed on the vehicle. Instead of just tearing it off and starting over they did something unprecedented. Because the gloss looked good before the tore it off they printed out a matte finish logo and put it on the door so we could compare the 2. We chose the matte finish and with in minutes they had the original wrap off and was printing the new the one. In less than 24 hours they were 100% complete with the re-wrap of the vehicle. No questions asked. If you ever find better customer service than that. I suggest you hold on to it. I know we will take all of our future work to these guys no questions asked. Check the pictures I attached. Way to go Revolution team. We appreciate you.

But the problem with this is IT'S ILLEGAL! They approached me today asking me to use a different spot behind the building next to theirs (where I go) but this spot is closer, so I said no. They did not like that at all. I tried explaining to them that I have quite a few health issues, but they didn't want to hear it. Rami was nice for about 30 seconds then he starts calling me a "bully b*tch and dumb b*tch", and cursing at me because he's not getting his way (who's acting the bully?). I called 911 and told them what was going on, adding the fact that I had been cussed out by Rami and they didn't understand what they were doing was illegal. He leans into my car and lies to the 911 operator saying he never cursed. What's wrong Rami, you can cuss me out but you can't own up to it, you coward? And what really gets me is there's ALWAYS at least three to four parking spots next to me whenever I'm there. When I told them I was going to be there on Friday and they could call the cops on me if they wanted, they said they were going to block the spot. They reminded me of a couple tantrum throwing toddlers, not supposed adult business owners. Wow, I wouldn't touch this business with somebody else's money. If they treat ME like this, how are they going to treat YOU if you don't like their service?!?!
