Body Shops in Oceanside, CA

“I smashed a classic. A 93 Rx7. I banged up the fender, bumper, hood, and door. I also had some damage to the apron/core support.

I had nowhere to turn, I wasn't going to attempt to take it to a fly by night place. I also knew that nobody wanted to touch this thing, especially with how old it is. I showed up with my tail between my legs and asked what are the chances they wanted to work on it. Originally they didn't, mainly because of parts. Also it helps not to be a dick or entitled, they don't owe you anything. I had connections to parts, and after a decent and easy conversation they were on board. This is not a typical scenario, I knew it was going to take time, I knew some parts may not be found. I doubt they will take yours because it is a risk, they want perfection from their results. But oh man they delivered.

I stopped by every day to give some pointers and we assured each other that things were going to be okay. Ted and the crew are very chill and HIGHLY communicative. I could not be happier with the results. If they can fix an FD, they will absolutely make your newer car right. I think I found the best body shop this side of California and recommend them to everyone.

“Shawn was absolutely amazing and incredibly professional throughout the entire process. He took great care of my car and made it look brand new—as if nothing had ever happened! Every time I reached out or texted him, he was super attentive and always responded in a timely manner.

Not only did he finish the repairs ahead of schedule, but he also went above and beyond by giving my car a complimentary wash and even refilled the windshield wiper fluid. It’s clear that Shawn truly cares—not just about his work, but about his customers and the community, especially Marines.

I highly recommend him to anyone in need of auto body repairs. You won’t be disappointed!

“Update: 6/13/2026 Where do we begin?!?!?! We have been in a few not at fault accidents. We were searching for a local auto body shop that was reputable. We finally had found one shop that works well with our auto insurance company. It was actually recommended aswell by our agent. Let me tell you the amount of pride every employee has at this site is awesome. The take care of your vehicle. Professional and extremely respectful. Not one person we came across this facility was in a bad mood. All were friendly. We had the pleasure to work with Keith and let me tell you, he knows his stuff. What I love about our experiences is that they made us feel taken care of. Great communication and extremely reasonable. Even though it was paid by our insurance. They give you every modification and repair in its breakdown. Now moving forward we will only use this location. We had our vehicle vandalized and keyed. We ended up taking our car to a paint shop in Escondido and the bill was 10k. The paint and clear was herendous. Fix Auto did such a better job than the other location that we wish we would have gone here for that time. Thank you Keith for taking really good care of us and our vehicle. Your expertise and attention to detail is remarkable. Thank you thank you and thank you! Kudos to all the ladies and gentleman's in and outside the office. Oh and the coffee in the office is really good! Please give the entire team and Keith kudos.”

“Our experience with Mossy Nissan Oceanside was phenomenal!
We decided on a 2026 Pathfinder Platinum 4WD with a specific exterior and interior colorway, unfortunately there were none available locally where we live. After a thorough on-line inventory search of Nissan dealerships in Southern California, we found one listed at Mossy Nissan. Late that night we inquired about this Pathfinder (and one other one as a 2nd option) through Mossy’s “Contact Us” webpage. The next morning, I received a call from Sales Manager Akim Akimi and Sales Consultant Larry Ringstaff. Since we were located a long distance from Mossy Nissan Oceanside, Akim was very accommodating as well as professional and respectful with regards to our situation to help us succeed in purchasing the Pathfinder from a long distance away. Akim was very friendly and cooperative over the phone and answered all my questions. Akim offered us a very good deal that we were pleased with and he quickly arranged everything and for an appointment for the following day. After the initial collaboration with Akim, I knew that this was where I wanted to buy our new car.
When we arrived at Mossy Nissan Oceanside the next day, we were greeted by Akim and Larry and they made us feel welcomed. Larry proceeded with familiarizing us with the Pathfinder(s), the inspections and the test drives, and answered all the questions we had. Larry was amazing at making us feel comfortable and after agreeing to the deal, Larry introduced us to Finance Manager Daniel Miramontes, and he too was welcoming and professional. He was knowledgeable and practical, answered all our financial questions and provided helpful suggestions.
Overall, we had a really great experience purchasing our new Pathfinder from Akim, Larry, Daniel and Mossy Nissan Oceanside. We highly recommend buying a vehicle from Mossy Nissan Oceanside. Ask for Akim Akimi and Larry Ringstaff. We came away very happy and satisfied with Mossy Nissan Oceanside and will consider them first the next time we are in the market for a new vehicle and recommend them to all of our friends. Thank you.”

“You guys are amazing ive had lots of friends go here and they color match flawlessly im going through a repair right now and the woman at the front was so sweet thank you all”

“Alejandra was very helpful and transparent from the start. Very communicative, polite & professional.Tony was also very helpful & I love the work they did.”

“Aron and his team at Color Crafters were fantastic to work with. From the start, they took the time to thoroughly review the estimate and clearly explain the repair needs for the rear bumper on my 2025 Range Rover Sport, which I really appreciated.

They were professional, transparent, and never made me feel rushed or pressured. On top of the great service, they were also the most reasonably priced auto body shop I found in San Diego, which made the decision even easier.

If you’re looking for an honest, knowledgeable, and reliable auto body shop, I highly recommend Color Crafters to take care of your repair needs.”

“Got into my first fender bender I got rear ended came in and Emiliee helped us out got my bumber fixed within 10 minutes, amazing with friendly service I will be coming here if I ever have something that needs to be fixed for my car”

“Oscar, his brother and Robert were AMAZING!! I got into a hit and run and they made the process so smooth with insurance, it took no more than 1.5 weeks to get my car back. Oscars brother even offered to drop me off since I was carless and the uber to get an hour back in traffic was $$. EXCEPTIONAL service, I will be referring everyone i know to this place who needs to repairs.”

“I’m extremely happy with the paint job from Maaco Oceanside—my car looks brand new. The finish is smooth, the color match is excellent, and the overall appearance exceeded my expectations. Gerardo Villa provided outstanding service throughout the entire process, keeping me informed with regular updates and making everything easy and stress-free from start to finish. I was especially impressed by the value: another company quoted me more than $5,200 for the same work, while Maaco completed the job for about $1,800—saving me over $3,400 without sacrificing quality. The results have already drawn compliments on how refreshed and professional the car looks. I highly recommend Maaco Oceanside for their high-quality workmanship, excellent customer service, and exceptional value.”

“I have finally found an honest, reliable and qualified mechanic. Life is so much easier knowing i have Dave watching out for my cars health. I drive an electric car, my family have gas vehicles, either way he has us covered. From diagnosis to repair, quick efficient and extremely informative, calling and speaking clearly about the issues and how to go about fixing them in a financially affordable way. Best of all I have not had any issues with any repairs that have been done here. Thank you so much Dave.”

“Jorge was extremely helpful, gave a great price and the work came out phenomenally! I was hesitant to use him due to having only a few reviews but am so glad I went with him. He repainted my roof and part of my roofrail due to oxidation. He was able to get it done in 2 days. He communicated clearly, worked with my schedule to pick up the car once it was ready and even fixed my gas cap. Thank you Jorge!”

Price is fair and honest to the amount of work that is needed for your vehicle. If you are looking for maintenance on your vehicle definitely recommend this shop.”

“I am restoring a 1998 Dodge Dakota. There were numerous issues wrong on the body and it needed to be sanded down to metal and re-painted. Raul and Cesar did the most amazing work and now my truck looks as good as day 1. Great communication throughout the process and reasonable pricing. I will take all of my bodywork needs to Advance. These guys are craftsmen.”

“Taylor did an amazing job making sure my vehicle got the absolute best repair. He kept me informed on updates and progress and was always patient and responsive. I felt comfortable leaving my car there and this is coming from a former body shop tech. Car looks fantastic! The whole crew over there is pleasant and friendly when answering calls and listening to customers. Thank you”

“We just got a car here today and I have to say that I was very impress with how the whole process went. We had trouble figuring out how to pick up the car since our schedule is pretty hectic and this dealership is quite far from us. They went above and beyond to make everything easy for us, they were even going to deliver the car to us just to help us. Larry the manager along with Nathan, prepared everything for us so we didn't have to wait a long time. All we had to do was sign and go. Carlos in finance was also very helpful. They were all knowledgeable about the car and very informative. I will refer them to my friends and family.Thank you again for such a wonderful and stress free experience!”

“I had a great experience at Chris Amato’s Body Werks. My ‘23 SUV Mercedes was hit in the rear bumper and my tailgate was scratched from my garage door.
They did an excellent job of repair and paint, it looks brand new again.
Jackie helped me in the front office and even got there a little early for me so I could get to work on time. She went above and beyond. She kept me posted with the repair costs and was finished within the time frame she told me.
I would definitely recommend this body shop.
I’ve been in the automotive repair business for 40 years. They understand customer service!! Great job!!”
