Mike and Juan were incredibly helpful and nice! I brought in a 1996 BMW 318ti for some minor tweaks to the front bumper, headlight and corner light and they came out and adjusted the assembly in 5 minutes free of charge. Next time I'm in need of body work, I'll come back to see World Auto Body. I highly recommend them! read more

Literally can't express enough how amazing this place is. Well trained in customer service and grade "A" quality in there work. Had a small fender bender accident on a friends car that I caused. My initial thought was to immediately go to World Auto Body since I've used them before on previous incidents but got a quote from a different company recommended by a family member but was so over priced and over charged for something so small. I took it by World Auto Body and Mike and his team took care of me at such a reasonable price. No hassle no BS just flat out honest business and in times like this that's a lot to offer. I have taken multiple cars here (Ford, BMW, Infiniti) and they have always done amazing work. This will definitely be my number 1 spot for Auto body work hands down! read more

The worst! They did not complete the job. They tried to touch up spots with mismatched paint and their staff was rude! Awful! Do not allow your insurance company to send you to this place if you want the job done right and if you want to be treated like a customer. Also, they stole the SD card from my camera! I guess they were afraid that my camera might be recording them! read more

I recently used World Auto Body to fix the hood of my Lexus. Mike and his team were so professional, thorough, honest, and reasonable. The quality of their work was excellent! I could not be more pleased! This Auto Body shop is everything you are looking for and more. I highly recommend World Auto Body for all your auto body needs. Many thanks! read more

I was very disappointed when I picked my car up to get home and find that there was some kind of gunk on the drivers seat, all the loose change (like $10 worth) had been removed from the ashtray where I keep it, and even full water bottles had been taken out of the side pockets. I went back to World Auto Body and complained, got to wait for another half hour while they removed the stuff from the drivers seat, and 'refunded' me $5 to offset the missing change. Not exactly making me feel whole. I will be avoiding them if I need future body work. read more

Mike, Abigail and the whole team at World Auto Body are amazing! So nice, helpful and courteous. Mike took care of my car on the spot and it is infinitely better! Will never take my car anyplace else! read more

I had work done at World Auto Body a couple years ago after a hit and run did about $5k damage. They were great then and the car looked better than it did when it was brand new...I don't know how they pulled that off. Anyway, I recently was sideswiped by an elderly driver and it was clearly her fault and her insurance would have paid it. I took the car to another place closer to my home and got an estimate-$1500+ and 5 days without the car...so probably closer to a $2200 claim once you throw in a rental car. Not to mention the time it takes to arrange all that and get rides, etc. I decided to take it back to World Auto Body for a second quote. Juan took a look at it and said "We might be able to just rub that out...can you leave it for a bit?" and of course I said "Sure!" So 30 minutes later, my car appeared looking perfect. They rubbed out the 24 inch long scuff, reattached the fender that had been knocked off, and conditioned the bumper strip that runs along the bottom of the side of the car. IT LOOKS GREAT! Yes, if you know just where to look you can find a tiny scratch on the fender, but can you imagine how fun it was for me to call the other driver and tell her we don't need to bother with the insurance claim? I'm not knocking the other place where I got the first estimate- nor will I name them---because there was damage to be repaired, but they didn't even consider trying to simply fix it right there---didn't have the time to worry about it. And to top it all off, World Auto didn't even charge me for their time spent fixing my car. It was a little deal to them and instead of taking the opportunity to gouge me for a buck, they just did a nice thing. I call that paying it forward and I will recommend this business to anyone who needs any type of work done. read more

The side runner on my van came off and a friend told me to check out World Auto Body. I stopped in and Mike gave me all the info I needed to keep the repair cost down as well as an estimated repair cost and time for completion. After purchasing new clips to remount, I made an appointment Tuesday in on Wednesday. Not only was the runner reattached under the estimated repair time, the repair charge was such an incredible price I was ecstatic!! The waiting room was clean and the employees were very helpful. Free coffee! I definitely recommend this shop. read more

I have brought vehicles to World Auto Body for over fourteen years -- and there is a reason. World matches, if not surpasses, dealership guaranteed quality at a much more reasonable price. Both my Jeep Grand Cherokee and BMW X5 have visited World Auto. You truly sense the craftsmen are miracle workers when your repair is revealed. General knowledge states you can only receive two out of the following three when buying a service. You can't have them all: Excellent quality, excellent pricing, excellent turnaround. World delivers on all three. Highly recommended. read more

Omg seriously amazing place, do yourself a favor and take your car here. They will do their best to keep costs low and even buffed my car for free. Abigail is wonderful and it was so quick and painless. I highly recommend them! read more

Today I found one of those rare businesses which leave you happy with their service and give you a bit more faith in humanity. I went to World Auto Body because the right portion of my front bumper became detached. I walked in preparing for an expensive quote and some upselling, but it turned out that it was a simple fix which the person helping me, Mike Shamshoum, did then and there! He got the necessary tools, fixed my car, and sent me on my way. I hope I don't need body work again anytime soon, but if I do I am definitely coming back to World Auto Body! Thanks, Mike! read more

I had to find a body shop to repair the paint on my car after an army of pigeons had their way with it. I was very pleased to find that World auto body made time for the small jobs as well. They color sanded and buffed the entire car all in a few hours and for an incredibly fair price and I drove away in a car that's paint had more of a shine than the day I drive it off the lot. read more

Well, my truck has been here 3 times now ... other cars seem to like hitting my truck. I think that the fact I have brought it here 3 times states what I think - they do a great job. As great as they are, I hope I don't have to bring it back a 4th time. : ) read more

Quality service, honesty, and a quick turn around make this place my go-to for auto body repairs. I have taken my car in 2x here and both times they put bid the dealer. read more

If you like to return to the shop multiple times for un-finished work, watch your hood shake & shimmy when your go down the freeway cause of misalignment, have your hood latch buried & tough to reach, multiple rental cars, time off work ect..then look no further you have found your dream shop !! My jeep also veers to the right now, oh well it's only a 2010. read more

I came in for an estimate for some damage on my passenger side door. I think it was Mike S who helped me. He started opening the glove compartment on the passenger's side. I couldn't believe it. He said he needed the VIN number - it's on the driver's side on the car, and I felt extremely disrespected that he felt he could just start shuffling through my things in the glove compartment. He was saying "well at least the damage is on the passenger's side so if you don't fix it, you don't have to be reminded of it all the time!" I guess he was trying to be nice but the estimate also seemed OUTRAGEOUS. Will not go here :( Next time, communicate better. read more

I was rear ended and this shop was the one my insurance wanted me to go here. I called and the guy told me to come drop off my vehicle. When we headed Dow I spoke with Josh. He walked out and took pictures but was rude and brash. Maybe a abad day? The said I didn't need to drop it off because it would take just a second. I explained that I had my husband and kids follow me because I wanted to drop off and have them tell me if the frame of the Tahoe was ok.i didn't want my kids back in the car til I knew it was safe. He seemed annoyed. He looked under the car and said, it's safe. He was very shiort and rude. When he was done he went inside and said to take the car. Never did I receive an estimate. They may do good work, I don't know. I will never give a place business with such a rude person that deals with the customers. read more

If you decide to leave your vehicle for repairs, do not expect quality customer service. Called to check for personal items before towed out due to total loss. 2 weeks later no word. Personal lost only $60.00. read more

I highly recommend World Auto Body! We have been having our cars repaired at this business for15 years. The manager Mike is professional and honest. The quality of the body work is amazing. Your car will look better than when you first drove it off the dealers lot. My latest experience was repair work on my suv rear bumper. Another driver backed into us in a parking lot. I dropped my car off Monday morning and it was like new the following day when I picked it up at 4pm. The business is family owned and I wouldn't dream of bringing my car anywhere else for body work. read more

Fast and efficient - just the way I like it! The only complaint is that the change was taken from my little change holder. It was only a couple of bucks but still, kind of a creepy thing to happen. read more

Horrible service, it took over 2 months to get my car back and its had problems since. After keeping my car for 2 month I had to take it back 2 additional times for things that were not done properly. I finally took it to the dealership and was notified that parts were missing. read more

I had to have body work done on my volvo after some crown molding fell on my car whilst driving on the 78. I was directed to world auto body through the insurance company that was working with me. They did a beautiful job replacing and buffing my hood, mirror, and one panel on my door that was scratched by the impact. What I didn't expect was their additional cleaning of the inside and outside of my car: a complete car wash and emptying out of my trash and vacuuming the interior. It was great to bring my car home as if the accident never happened, plus with a very thorough wash that I myself had been putting off for weeks. Hugo was great, very friendly and professional and kept me updated throughout. The lovely woman at reception (I did not get her name) was great as well and made the process as smooth as possible. World auto body for life! read more

Unfortunately for us, this is the second time we've had to have our cars worked on. But luckily there is World Auto Body!!! Great service from Mike and superb fixing of our cars. You'd never know there was any damage done when they're finished fixing your car. They aim to please and ask to make sure they've met your needs. I'd refer anyone I know to World Auto Body to get their car fixed. BTW, on time too, as promised. read more

I just had my Toyota taken in to get fixed and I was helped the whole way through by there employee Joel. He is an amazing and hard worker. You can really tell that with Joel, customer satisfaction comes first. He gets what needs to be done fast and efficient. Joel was a huge help to me and again, the customer service he provided was and is unmatched by anyone that I've ever dealt with. I really recommend this shop for any auto body issues. read more

I, unfortunately needed the help of World Auto Body Collision Experts. After a frustrating few weeks of dealing with the insurance companies, Riley and the guys at World Auto finalized this nightmare, restored my car and set everything right. They made it so easy and treated me with the utmost respect. The work was done timely and I couldn't believe the repairs came in almost a thousand dollars UNDER the estimate! They deserve all 5 of the stars I award them. read more

This is the best auto body shop! My husband accidentally scratched the back bumper of our Volvo SUV and they took care of it on a walk in basis in 10 minutes! I was very impressed with their customer service and professionalism! read more

I was referred to this body shop by a debtless repair gentleman. My BMW 650 had been scratched deeply on front bumper. About 3 inches long, and I had to turn in for lease within a week of that occurrence. I went to speak with Mike and he told me to bring it back the next business day in the morning and he would take care of for me. Showed up Monday morning and within 30 minutes i was out, my bumper looked perfect!!! Thank you so much!! Not to mention he didn't charge me since the repair was so minimal. I am thrilled and will return if i have any more issues with my vehicles. read more

I had the pleasure of dealing with Reily, the manager, who was wonderful. He even gave me a military discount on the labor - this came unsolicited. The work done to my car was professional and top quality, not to mention how clean it was upon return. I would highly recommend this place to anyone seeking honest work. read more

I was extremely satisfied with the work especially since it came in $100 below the estimate. I was a little skeptical that I was going to be taken advantage of because of the condition of my car but they came thru and even detailed my car (which I wasn't expecting) read more

World Auto Body in Encinitas is the best. Best price, best service. I obtained two other estimates for the repair to my front bumper on my Honda Fit, and World Auto Body beat both of them. But I'm not only interested in price. Service and performance are equally, if not more so, important. From the minute I walked in the door, I got the impression these people knew their business and know about customer satisfaction. The work they did was top notch, matching an unusual color, smoothing out the deep scratches. They cheerfully and promptly gave me a ride to and from home while the work was completed. They detailed the car after their work! I have recommended World Auto Body to a friend, who also found their prices good and customer service exemplary. Highly recommended. read more

I took my van in for a small repair that I figured they would be able to help me with. I assumed I would have to drop my car off and pick it up later but they took it straight around to the work bay and fixed it within just a few minutes. It was also done with no charge and repaired better than it had been for years. I appreciate this type of business still in operation in Encinitas with so many small businesses being squeezed out for various reasons. If and when I have a larger repair I will undoubtedly take it here. Thanks for the great customer service. It earned you a future customer. read more

Excellent customer service, very friendly and knowledgable. I feel I can trust their prices and I'd recommend them!

l have had dings, and some scratches over the years. Mike and his team know exactly what to do, and work fast. they understand these things are stressful. They are helpful and if they can give you a lift to work if they can. They fixed my dent, and cleaned and waxed my car like new. read more

I love this auto body shop! Mike gives excellent customer service, the repairs made to my car are perfect, their pricing is very fair and the work completed is fast! Mercury Insurance referred me here because they are honest and great at what they do. I am back to have some scratches buffed out, because I trust them and know that I will be well taken care of. It's nice to feel like a valued customer and not just another insurance claim. Thank you!!! read more

I was very happy with their services. they stand behind their work and did a fantastic fix on my car, which the insurance company wanted to total, but the body shop did wonders with my car and it looks better than new. I would highly recommend this shop for any kind of body and engine work. a big thanks to all the people there. They went out of their way to help me, and I appreciated that a lot. God bless all of them that work there. read more

Thank you Mike and everyone else I dealt with at World auto body! Customer service outstanding! Mike fixed my bumper very, fast and painlessly! It looks perfect! Also very nice that I wasn't talked down to being female dealing with a car situation!!! Meaning a female dies not need to feel intimidated dealing with World Auto Body in spite of the fact that things involving cars are sometimes thought of as more of a guy thing. Mahalo KC read more

I loved the service at World Auto Body! I was helped by a guy named Mikee. He was great and very helpful. He made my time worth it and very efficient. Someone tried to break into my car so i had a messed up window frame and such. He took real good care of my sexi lexi! I'm happy and impressed by the service here! read more

I pulled in here on a whim after getting into a minor scrape with my rental car. It was late on a Friday and I had a jampacked weekend ahead before I had to return the car. I spoke with Mike, who told me it looked like it could be buffed out and to give him 15 minutes. He came back even quicker than promised with the car looking good as new. Saved me a ton of hassle and worry. Highly recommend! read more

Impeccable work! Wow!! The entire front right side of my car was in pieces and now it looks brand-new again. Amazing service and quality. Mike is a magician. The staff is very friendly. Bobby was great every step of the way. Thanks World Auto Body!! I highly recommend this shop to anyone who needs exterior work done on their car. read more
