The service was more than amazing. I was worried about the same color as my car, color matching. But he did such an amazing job! Best service you could ever get! If you have a new car and it needs car collision repair, please use his service. He is amazing !! He ALSO got my wedding band out of my rental! Which the rental stated they couldnt and the actual car company stated that they were to busy and I needed to come by the following week when my car was ready for pick up! Amazing service.
This place does top notch work! Someone had backed into us and left a good size eye sore. Chapparone is very professional and easy to work with. They kept me informed throughout the process, finished the work ahead of schedule, and were super accommodating with scheduling the pickup. I received the vehicle as nice as when I first bought it. Solid work. They have earned my future business! Thank you!
Very professional. I didn’t end up getting repair from them as the repair was forgiven by the leasing company, but they did offer me some good advices on how to repair the car in a cheaper way. Def appreciate that.
I drove in with my Camaro 2015, I went over a pot hole and my tire went inwards and some bumper damage. Thankfully I had insurance so I just had to pay my deductible. Louie took my car in and I cannot express how excellent of a job he and his team did on my car. Im beyond satisfied and content with the quality of work, customer service and professionalism. Anytime I had a question I would text him and hell reply within the hour. I had a good experience with Chapparone, thank you all.
Absolutely amazing service! This was my first time getting into a minor collision. Was referred to this shop by BMW San Diego, CA as they are a certified BMW shop. Interacted with Ray who made the entire process so smooth. He immediately contacted me, hopped on a call to explain the process after looking at the damage on my car.
Pure incompetency, very shady!I went there 4 days a go to get a quote to send to my insurance for their approval. Tyler supposed to send me a quote, never did. I emailed him 3 days in a row with no response. Than I called today and he said he can’t give me a quote until he gets the car apart!! Woww, I been to body shops many times, never heard this before, what a shady place! Stay away.
The Best! Thanks Louis and staff, always great service, very professional yet still personal, makes you feel like youre part of the family. This aint no chop shop or fast food version of auto body work, these guys always aim for perfection. Thank You
He did a great job on my wifes car. He also went above and beyond to get her wedding out of the rental! Amazing place to trust!
My experience was pleasant from beginning to end. Rick was super helpful and informative. I was kept in the know about my car via phone calls. The repair was done immaculately and I even got a car detail. I would definitely return for any other auto body or painting needs.
Chapparone Auto Body & Painting is AMAZING! Super professional and honest staff. Really appreciated Rick taking the time to explain the repair process, keeping me updated along the way and then getting my car back to me as promised looking as good as new. Front desk staff are just as friendly and awesome. Would highly recommend!
They did a great job on my tacoma after it had been in an accident. Wanted to get some paintwork done on my tundra and they wouldn’t even talk to me about the work. Trying to paint match a grill to the rest of the truck and they just shrugged me off saying they can’t paint over chrome. The truck pieces are not even chrome they’re plastic and peopleHave these parts painted all the time. But without even talking to me about it they just got off the phone with me. Probably not “worth their time.” They were more than helpful though when they collected 18k from the insurance company for my tacoma.
Just getting a quote for my car and not sure if I am going to use them.
Look I know nothing about cars or auto accidents, which is what brought me to this auto body shop. I was referred to Chapperone by my lawyer after being in an auto accident. I do however know a thing about customer service, they made it extremely easy and flexible for me to drop off and pick up my car. They answered every call and question I had. They also kept in contact with the insurance company to keep them updated. Shout out to rick for calling me and updating me with great news and realistic time frames. My dad who has worked in the car industry before commented on how amazing my car looked after being fixed and the short amount of time they got it done. 10/10 staff! They also seem to be taking the pandemic seriously and adhering to the regulations to keep others safe, which I appreciate !
Great repair shop, my car looks even better than before it was in an accident.
Truly spectacular service. Louie was the consummate professional and made the process ridiculously easy. Work was perfect and delivered on-time. If you are in an accident and need your car put back to original condition go here!
From the time I walked in to the time I got my car back their customer service was impeccable. They were so welcoming, friendly and helpful! They also did great body work on my vehicle!
I consider Chaperone to be the best auto body shop in San Diego. Ive taken my vehicles to them for years and have never had anything but quality, professional service. I cant recommend them enough.
I chose Chapparone based on all the reviews I read. Customer service was top notch, everyone was friendly and helpful. The work done on my car was excellent, you wouldnt even know it was in an accident. I highly recommend Chapprone, they went above and beyond my expectations.
Body repair and painting of damage from a rear ended collision . Very nice job!
Chapparone did an amazing job repairing and painting my car. Staff were straightforward in their responses and promptly had my vehicle ready for pick up.
Ive brought two of my cars here and one of my buddies cars. Chapparone always does a great job!
This is second times I use their services. Rick is very prompt and keep you updated thru-out the process. They do quality work are faster than other places. I recommend them to anyone even for high end cars (they did a great job on my Mercedes).
Horrible experience.While all the staff were friendly; the work was so poor that the car had to be taken to another body shop after several attempts for them to make it right. Would def not recommend.
Great experience overall! Customer service was phenomenal and their workmanship was top notch. Constant updates on the status of my vehicle throughout the repair process and my car was completed on time as promised. I highly recommend Chapparone Auto Body!
Very old school approach a company founded on the familys of building painting and racing cars ...when you stop in look at the pictures on the wall, thats what this Body Shop is about ...I know, I had my car bodys worked on ...They matched my car which was 2006 Avalon pearl white..It was a 3 part paint match, it came out perfect ...1 yr later it stull looks perfect ...
Rick and his staff are second to none. From the moment I dropped my car off I was informed of the the process and reassured my vehicle was in good hands. I was kept updated on a regular basis in real time on the progress of the repairs. Not only did they finish early they did such an amazing job it’s impossible to tell it was ever in an accident. Hopefully I will not need there services for a long time ( knock on wood) but I’d recommend them to anyone that needs work done.
I had a very pleasant experience with Chapparone Auto Body & Painting and I highly recommend this business for any of your auto body repair needs. I stopped by for an estimate and ended up using Chapparones services on the spot; they are efficient, professional, and the end product is top-notch. You wont regret giving these folks your business.
So glad I brought my car to this shop. They repaired our car beyond belief and the customer service was the most caring I’ve ever seen!
Where do I start. I was a little bummed when I brought my truck in after get side swiped. After speaking with them they put me at ease and I knew this was the right Auto Body Shop. When I came to pick up my truck I was in shock, it looked like a brand new truck and you couldn’t tell that it had ever been involved in an accident. They completely exceeded my expectations. The service and customer service from start to finish was outstanding . I highly recommend Chapparone Auto Body & Paint Shop. Thanks guys you’re the best! I can’t thank you guys enough.
These guys did a great job. If it wasnt for the stuff that I left in my vehicle, I would have thought that I was picking it up at a dealership.
Took my car here after it was stolen and badly damaged. The car ended up being a total loss but the professionalism and customer service of the staff is unmatched. I would recommend this shop to anybody who needs auto body work done.
Look no further! I had an insurance repair done to my vehicle after a hit and run driver rammed it in a parking lot. Chapparone did a great repair job and the customer service was outstanding. Rick gave me regular updates on the repair and even delivered the car to us after it was repaired! The car looks new!
Rick and the crew at Chapparone are wonderful! They are friendly, professional and the work is first rate.
Incredible service. Nothing but inedible customer service, care, and attention to detail from start to finish. They offered Uber ride to drop me off and pick me up when my car was ready. There were text updated on the status of my vehicle. It was finished and looks beautiful again ahead of schedule. And to top it all off they detailed my car so well it looks better than when I bought it from dealership. Would absolutely recommend these guys.
My car was hit and run while parked and it turns out they did a lot of damage. I have Geico and decided to go to an unrelated shop because I expected a better job. I spoke to 3 shops and Rick was the most helpful and gave me the highest estimate. I was doubtful that hed get Geico to pay up but he did and they paid for about 7k of work versus the 3k estimate the Geico shop gave me.Rick was also the most friendly and helpful in answering any of my questions which was another reason I decided to go with Chapparone.These arent big enough issues to not recommend them but Ill note that when I picked up my car I noticed the mirror cap wasnt on fully so Rick took the car for a few minutes and fixed it. A few days later I noticed the side panel of my back door wasnt fully attached but that was easy to fix. Other than that the car looks great and I would go back to Chapparone for any future issues!
If you want the feeling and quality service of a family owned small-business, this is the place to go.
The folks at Chaperone were very helpful. The body work was immaculate. They even cleaned up a stain on the headliner as a bonus. Final touch, a handwritten thank you card arrived the next day in the mail. Highly recommended.
Great experience. Louie really took care of us. Our car came out looking brand new. Everybody here was great. Fast. Professional. Experts at fixing cars and fighting with insurance companies on their customers behalf!!
They did a great job on my car. I would recommend them to my friends!
We used Chapparone’s service for repairs to our Subaru CrossTrek when it was in an accident. AAA towed it there directly, and from the moment they had it, I was kept in close communication regarding the process. Louie notified me when it arrived, addressed my concerns during each interval, and completed the repairs 2 weeks earlier than AAA’s estimated date! They did such a beautiful job that when I got it back, I could barely recognize my own car because it was nicer than how it looked prior to the accident! They cleaned it inside and out, Louie provided me with an Uber ride to pick it up when it was done, and mailed me a handwritten thank you note a week later with a Starbucks gift card. I mean, this is just unheard of these days and I appreciated every gesture of their excellent customer service. They stand behind their work and value your experience, and it shows. If you are looking for an Autobody repair shop for a quality job and a customer experience above and beyond expectations, go to Louie and his team at Chapparone! They will not disappoint. Thank you, Louie!
Was looking for a body shop to handle the repairs on my wifes 2018 Crosstrek that was dinged up pretty good about a month ago. This shop came highly recommended from an old friend of mine so I called and made an appointment. I dropped off my wifes car on a Thursday, was greeted by a very friendly young lady at the front desk, she got me with the estimator Louie within a few minutes. Again very friendly and professional gentleman, he thoroughly assessed the damage on the car and immediately had a plan in motion to get the repair going. I handed him the information of the responsible parties insurance and the car key and honestly it was that simple. Best part, Enterprise was 2 doors down and had a rental waiting for me. I got timely updates from Louie via email (which in my book when you work full-time, works great), six days later he emailed car was ready to go. Talk about efficient. Showed up to pick up wifes Subaru and couldnt be happier with the final product. Honestly the car looked brand new again, the workmanship was top notch. Being a married man of 20 years and one who adores his wife. I couldnt wait for her to see her car. I knew she was going to very very happy with the way her baby turned out. So thank you to the entire staff from the reception, estimators, body and paint, management and ownership. Oh and also another added bonus, there tends to be a lot of stereotypes about paint/body shops out there that are unfortunately true. Chapparone isnt one of them. The parking lot, the entryway, the front reception area, every part of that building and outside area is super clean and well maintained. Definition of this review trustworthy, quality, friendly and professional.
I rear ended another auto in early March and since the hood was buckled, I could not drive my car. It was towed to a lot which gave me overnight to try to find an auto body business that I trusted my beautiful little Honda to. I read reviews for about three hours that night and settled on Chapparone Auto Body & Painting based upon the numerous great reviews. Boy did I luck out! Not only did Chapparone do a superior job on my car which needed work on both doors, the hood, radiator, grill, a/c condenser...(you get the picture!) My car was returned to me in all honesty looking better than it did when I bought it a few months earlier. Not only is their work superior, but the office staff were wonderful, even paying for my Uber from downtown San Diego to their shop. I also think they put in a good word with the car rental next to them because I got a wonderful rental during the time my car was being worked on. Their work is guaranteed and the paint is guaranteed for life. Their attention to detail was superb. I just received the nicest thank you note with a Starbucks gift card from them for letting them do the work on my car. I felt that I was the one who should have sent the thank you note. I highly highly recommend Chapparone auto Body & Painting, and can think of nothing that they could improve upon. I would take my car back to them in a heartbeat!
Did not have any work done. After discussing my options, I decided to go a different route all together, but I would come back if I needed painting!
Excellent work, professional associates. Louie Avalos is a customer service oriented associate. I watched him assist a young lady that ran into a pole. She had a slight ding and yellow paint all over her bumbper. He asked her to wait a minute and he came back with a solution and removed the yellow from her car. The young lady asked him what she owed him. He smiled and said. When youre ready come back and we can take care of the ding for you. Anywhere else would have charged her. Or given her an estimate and done nothing else.The smile on the young ladys face was priceless. She couldnt thank him enough. An honest, and compassionate employee.I can understand why there stalls are full.
I have the misfortune of needing a body shop and painting for my expensive imported vehicles for the last 8 years and they have consistently finished earlier than expected and my vehicles looked like new, as if it never had any body work. They treat you like family, so I’m a loyal customer. Also, they are highly recommended by USAA. If you’re looking for the best, Chapparone is the one!
Took my F250 crew cab, long bed with a matching shell, into Chapparone for a complete paint after a fire hydrant dumped water rocks and debris on my truck for almost an hour. Mark had every little chip and dent removed, replaced the hood and windshield and then did an amazing paint job. All new badges and some mouldings and trim and my truck looks like it just rolled off the showroom floor. Thanks for making my 99 look like new again. I would highly recommend them to my friends just like my friends recommended them to me.Thanks to the guys at Chapparone and for all Marks help in getting it done and getting it done right.
They were AMAZING. Went above and beyond to get my truck back to me, better than it was before the accident. Excellent customer service and a perfect example of how to run a family business! Thanks guys!
Not only did they fix the damage on my Lincoln Navigator they cleaned and prepped my ride perfectly. I am very pleased with their communication and I will DEFINITELY use them again.. Hopefully not too soon. Highly recommended.
First rate shop - they were very clear with me on expectations around the insurance process, and in fact negotiated the proper fix (which insurance did not initially want to provide). The work was outstanding and completed on-time. This has been my best experience with a body shop to date, I will return (actually, hopefully I wont...)
I highly recommend this body shop. They are very pleasant to deal with and finished in the promised time frame.
Just got my baby back from Chapparone and seriously my mouth dropped when I saw it. My car looks amazing!!!! Not only did they repair the damage from my car accident flawlessly but they also repaired this rusted ugly dent Ive had on my car for like 3 years since it was near the damage. My insurance covered it too which was AWESOME. That thing would have cost me like $500-$900 to fix on my own! Plus they vaccumed and detailed my car on the inside and shined up the outside before giving it back. Im telling you I fell in love with my car all over again. It hasnt looked this good since I first bought it!These people have great customer service skills and really make you feel taken care of. They made my whole experience so great. Thank you Chapparone!!!
After reading hundreds of reviews on this place and being unsure, I can say that it’s one of the best experience I’ve had getting my car fixed. I can assure those who come in for an insurance claim you will be amazed!
So far they are fair
Came for a quote for an accident I had and they were prompt and helpful!
Louie was able to give me a estimate of what it would be I was able to get an appointment the next day that I was available and the work definitely held up and I would definitely recommend this for light scratches or any bigger work. My experience is from getting keyed and they were definitely able to take care of me
Got a quote for body work from here. It was the most expensive out of the shops i went to. The office was nicer than what Ive seen at auto body shops. I got an estimate quickly and everyone was professional.
Fast and friendly service!
Unfortunately having to change my review after a horrible experience regarding repairs and customer service. Today I experienced the worst customer service in my lifetime. When attempting to pay for my services over the phone I was instructed they do not take credit card phone payments. I was shocked an established business in 2019 doesnt take credit card payment especially when their customers cannot be onsite to pick up their vehicle in person. Anyhow I asked the receptionist if there were any other options, e.g. could I have the vehicle picked up early and pay after work on my way home. Mind you Ive used their services faithfully 4x now, submitted raving reviews online, recommend to friends family etc. The receptionist, with indignation wasnt willing to support me in anyway. Having dealt with her indignation on several occasions whilst waiting 2+ months to get a proper quote on my vehicle for other damages, I reached my limit. With a stern but non hostile approach I expressed my discontent with the service. At that point she decided to send me to the owners phone, I waited what seems like an eternity to no avail. At that point I had to leave my office and drive 20 mins one way to pay in person. On my way I received a phone call from Mark Chapparone, owner, who proceeded to berate me for my hostile conversation with his receptionist. Apparently she was so distressed she cried and he had to send her home. Upon my arrival the receptionist Summer was cheerfully receiving customers without a shred of evidence of prior weakened emotional state. After receiving and inspecting my vehicle, that wasnt repaired 100% correctly, I proceeded to pay my bill. I expressed my sorrow and discontent with Lisa very nice and professional individual who set the foundation for my continued business I had almost all front office experiences her on multiple occasions without issue. She informed me that Summer stated I dropped F-bombs during our prior call. This is a complete fabrication from an obviously overly dramatic individual. It would be completely unrealistic and inappropriate for me to speak in such a manner especially at my corporate offices where the call took place.A few mins later we had a friend collect our car, I was informed by my friend that Summer, again still at work, hadnt gone home. Apparently she wasnt so despondent and still had enough hostility left in her to be rude to my friend. This mind you was before she even knew they were there to pick up my vehicle.In conclusion, I wanted to be as transparent as possible here, this business obviously prioritizes and protects dishonest employees over their paying loyal customers. I have one vehicle they worked on that has visible repair areas showing through the paint. It looks like the filler they used wasnt sanded to a fine grit and I can see the grainy texture of heavy grit sand paper. It looks like they didnt take the time to properly block it and fine sand. Im probably butchering the terms but I can tell you it doesnt look factory. Mark Chapparone took back the vehicle for a high polish, that improved it a bit but still not factory. He blamed the issue on California paint standards that do not meet the factory paint qualities. As for my recent repair, the repair quote included antenna replacement but what they repaired was the antenna base, not the whole antenna assembly. I didnt push the issue further, after being berated by the owner I decided best to get my vehicle out of their shop ASAP. Be warned for those seeking business at this Mom & Pop establishment, they dont stand behind their work or customer care.
This shop was on the list of shops backed by USAA, they did an awesome job on my vehicle, (getting OEM parts for the repairs on my Challenger) they also did a great paint job. This shop made everything easy and seamless, my customer service experience was outstanding, thank you Tal. I would highly recommend anyone to go to them.
My first review I’ve ever given, and I’m sad to say but I gave these people a call, a lady answered and sounded very rushed and irritated. I asked how much it would be to get my car repainted and she said “Hold on”, then proceeded to put me on hold for a few minutes.A man answered. “How may I help you?” In the most passive aggressive voice I’ve heard from any customer service.I asked again in a friendly tone, “Hi, I’m wondering how much it will be to get my car repainted?”He responds, “That’s a very vague question but it will be around 4,000 and up.”Then I ask “Okay would it help if I give you the model of my car?”Then he HANGS UP.I hate to complain but this customer service makes me not want to visit this place.It’s obvious the people I talked to do NOT like their job. I hope the other employees are not like this.Dec. 4th 2017 @ 9 AMHopefully the employee or employer will see this and shape up. Sales are all about customer service and I was not satisfied with this.
Excellent service and a beautiful job on my car. Its like new again!
Someone at work backed into my 4Runner and scraped the bumper up... completely cosmetic and paint was removed. I stopped by and was greeted by the owner Mark Sr. He approached me and helped me out since I pulled into the wrong part of the shop. Mark Sr. was really approachable and honest. I went to a few locations and overall I liked the following...1. Mark Sr. was a nice guy and was very honest, and its a family owned business2. He quoted me fairly and was very thorough explaining the process and gave me realistic expectations of the work3. There were quite a few higher end vehicles which tells me the quality of work4. The turn around time was reasonableSince this wasnt an insurance claim and it would be paid by the person responsible, I was looking for a quote that wasnt over the top but still quality work. I went to Caliber Collision, Penske Auto Group, and bumperdoc. BumperDoc wanted to do a spot repair which wasnt what I was looking for. Penske is the logical choice because they handle all the dealership body work and use all factory parts. I decided on Chapparone because they quote was more reasonable and a family owned and operated business.I picked up my 4Runner today and Im very pleased with the work. The quality of work is superb, absolutely can not tell there was any damage. They also detailed my vehicle for me and it looks amazing.My only concern is that once I got home I noticed 2 smudge marks on the front bumper and front quarter panel. I cleaned off one smudge on the corner panel and it seems like that spot left behind lightened the underlying paint. Im hoping its nothing major. Maybe im being OCD about it.Despite the small smudge marks (whatever they may be) I plan on recommended this business to anyone who asks for a recommendation or needs some body work done. The process was easy from beginning to end and Im 99% satisfied with the work.
