We highly recommend Active Auto Collision in San Marcos CA. The body work and painting done on our Toyota RAV4 made our car look new again, plus the work was accomplished on schedule and for an excellent price. The owner is a great guy who runs a clean shop and an honest business. He's our first stop if we need any of his services in the future. We don't even live in San Diego, but are happy to take our car to his shop because his work is worth the trip!

Oh my... Where do I start. Brought my 2019 Ford fusion in on the recommendation of a friend.0 had a front end damage so it did need some work done. Do not bring your car here if it's more than just a ding or some paint touch up. Anytime they have to do any type of major body work take it somewhere else. The day I pick my car up it almost didn't get me to the freeway I had to bring it back because they had not checked everything because it is a hybrid and the hybrid cooling system was damaged and they did not catch it. That put me back another week. Keep in mind I live in Chula Vista which is an hour from San Marcos. Then when I get the car back it turns out that they don't know how to calibrate any type of safety systems so to there credit they did set me up with a an appointment at a local Ford dealer where I could get the car fixed albeit two appointments later the car finally started to work normally. This brings me to today I was holding off on leaving any type of negative reviews but I just couldn't take it anymore. Took it into the local Valvoline quick oil change place and they told me there are three bolts missing on the skid plate they had just put in some screws not even bolts to hold the skid plate up. Don't know what I'm going to do now but I definitely need to warn anybody who's thinking about taking your vehicle here unless it's a scratch steer clear of these clowns. Not to mention the fitting of the body panels is completely uneven The spacing between the hood and the fenders is uneven I usually take my vehicles down to TJ trust me next time I'll take my chances with TJ once again do not take your car here.Services: Body & Trim

These guys are great! I've used them on 2 different occasions and got incredible service and they are very reasonable. If there's a problem, they'll fix it. I would never go any where else

About as positive as a wrecked truck and repair can go! From the time I pulled up for a estimate Shadi was accommodating and professional, making a bad situation good. The results of the body work, replacement parts and paint were nothing less than perfect! I also noticed that the shop went above and beyond by making the paint match on both sides of my truck bed and also fixing a latch that was a extra touch. I would highly recommend Active Auto Collision, and I would like to extend a Thank you for Shadi and the guys in the shop! Excellent work and customer service.

I foolishly hit a concrete pole and smashed the driver's side front door of my Saab 9-3. Concerned new parts wouldn't be available, I requested several quotes, most of which exceeded the value of my car...except the quote from Shadi. He was honest, very helpful and gave me a very reasonable price. The work and paint match was excellent! My car looks great! I highly recommend Active Auto for all your vehicle body repair and paint needs.

This place did great work on my car. It was done within 3 days at an excellent price. They gave me the best estimate out of all the body shops I went to. The owner is very friendly and responsive and answered any questions I had in a timely manner. Excellent paint match and body work. The car came out looking good as new.Services: Painting

Overdue review but I want to make sure that people know how great this place is! Shadi has always been super helpful and kind when I bring my car in for services. Shadi and his team are honest, quick, and the price is always reasonable.

I was so pleased with my experience at Active Auto Collision! I brought my car there with severe damage to the bumper, bumper support, and the grille. I was able to order aftermarket parts and Shadi charged a very reasonable price. He was professional and friendly and my car was done quickly. I appreciate how Shadi was so helpful and informative! I would recommend Active Auto Collision to anyone needing auto body work!Services: Body & Trim

I'm so happy I found this place! Shaady and his crew are great at what they do! In addition, they are fast, honest, follow through what they promised and their price is better than any other body shop. I definitely recommend this business!

I am very pleased with my experience here! Dropped my vehicle off for repair/paint and they finished it by the next day! Price was great and the finished product was great:) I'll definitely be coming back here for anymore repairs.

I have a 1999 Ford F-250 4x4 that I took here after an front end collision. I finally felt like someone was on my team, and understood my lifted/custom off-road trucks value and how to fix it, not total it out. Super happy with all the work. They did axle work, lift kit work, transfer case, body work, paint, and it all came out great. Even a supplement issue with the insurance company was handled with my best interest. I’d recommend this shop for sure.

I've had a few cars painted here and overall have been satisfied with the work. However, they are not a highly detailed shop for complete paint work and if you're looking for higher end quality this may not be the shop for you. The last car I brought to them I was told a price (no written quote) then asked for an additional $500 upon picking up the car citing "more work than we thought". Not the way I like to do business. Shadi is a nice guy and is accommodating, however, his brother is unprofessional. If you use this shop get everything in writing up front and don't have overly high expectations.
