The Chapparone guarantee
Chapparone’s San Diego Auto Body Quality Control detail and Customer Service are second to none. Our Expert Staff inspects each work order line-by-line and reviews the paint & detail work. They also make sure the lights, door locks, radio, and more are in perfect working order. Then a final test drive is performed to ensure all work checks out before the keys are given back to you. Our San Diego auto repair service and “customer experience” is what separates us from the next shop. We are more than an auto body and collision repair company because our focus is your complete satisfaction!
We understand and accept that the collision repair business is not a perfect, cookie-cutter business. We are in the automotive re-manufacturing business and circumstances can arise after the car has been picked up. We try to communicate this with customers as best we can upon picking up their vehicle so they don't need to feel uncomfortable bringing up any post-repair issues after taking delivery of their car. We will do everything in our power to satisfy our customers and we take the most pride in providing an excellent customer experience before, during, and AFTER the repairs.
Because we work for YOU, and not your insurance company, we are committed to providing the best repairs and customer service possible. Insurance companies may tell their clients that if they choose their own shop for repairs that they will not warranty the work if something were to happen after the repairs have been completed. However, we provide a written lifetime warranty on all workmanship and service after our repairs for as long as you own your vehicle. We've been in business since 1974 and we've always stood behind our lifetime warranty since the day we went into business.
- Ken S.7/19/2023Jake, who is super nice and professional and the crew at Chapparone are simply outstanding. You are handled professionally from the front reception to estimating to the actual work being completed. The work is done at a consistent high level, showing pride in what they do. There is a strong "service ethic" that is evident throughout this shop. Regular communication was much appreciated. Prior to delivery the car was carefully and completely detailed. Highly recommended.read moreread less
- David W.7/12/2023Ricardo and Donnie are amazing and straight up miracle workers! Ricardo and his team were able to fix my SUV bumper flawlessly (paint match, mounting, turn around time, flexible as I had to move the repair date a few times, etc.). The kicker was the service and communication. They also performed an amazing detail to the interior and exterior working around my mounted Yakima box that was on top of the car at the time of service. The car was dirty after ski trips to Big Bear, they cleaned it up nice and back up their work! 10 stars if it was possible!!!read moreread less
- Candy H.6/19/2023I took my Tesla in for damage to the rear of my car (bumped in a parking lot, minor scuff on bumper & needed a new tail light). Tesla is about 6-8 weeks out for parts but Jake (Amazing Jake) was able to find a brand new tail light that I needed in stock so I was able to immediately bring my car in and they fixed it within 3 days. I worked at numerous body shops in my youth, opened up 5 new body shops, owned an Automobile Appraisal company and I am very familiar with the business & the process. Body Shops are not all the same. Upon entry, Chapparone was very clean, had great customer service & Jake kept me informed throughout the entire process. I actually got my car a day earlier then promised and it looked spectacular! Their work was A++ and although I hope I never have to go back, but if I do I would never go anywhere else. And as you can tell, I must give a shout out to the estimator, Jake Maxey; He was awesome to work with and Im very grateful for all his help. Thanks Jake!read moreread less
- Hector G.6/02/2023If you are looking for an auto body and paint shop this is your place to go. Jake and his team are amazing, professional, and quick.

- Jenn H.5/04/2023A car backed into my car while it was parked, and caused some damage in the front. I thought it was a cosmetic issue so I looked up whatever highly rated body shop was closest to me. The lady at the front desk was very friendly and efficient when helping me set up an appointment, and when I arrived at my appointment time for my estimate, everything was done in a very timely and organized way. Ricardo let me know that the damage was more extensive than I realized, showing me all the little details he was noticing. He was very competent and patient while explaining everything, which helped me decide on next steps. So happy to have found a kind, skilled, and trustworthy body shop!read moreread less
- Tara K.4/07/2023I brought my car here a little over a month ago after being rear-ended. This was one of the places that was covered under the other driver's insurance.

He always kept me up to date regarding the status of my car, any delays in waiting for parts, pricing, etc. I just picked up my car today and everything looks and sounds great (so far). The front desk receptionist was very friendly and helpful. It was a smooth process and I am happy to have my car back. Great experience with them! Highly recommend!read moreread less

- Savannah F.10/31/2022Wow, I am so impressed with Chapparone Auto Body and I will never let anyone else handle my car needs from here on out. From start to finish my experience was top-notch and 5-stars are truly not enough.
I was devastated when my brand new 2021 Mercedes E53 AMG coupe was hit while parked in a parking lot. I really didn't know who to go to and a friend referred me to Chapparone so I decided to try them out after reading all these yelp reviews.
I first emailed photos to Mark to get a preliminary estimate as I wanted to have a general idea of the cost before bringing the vehicle in. He helped me through the whole process with how to handle insurance and made me feel very comfortable with my car being in their hands. Then I was introduced to Summer who reached out to schedule the car drop-off and she was so sweet throughout the whole process. When I dropped my car off at Chapparone everything was prepared and the process was quick... Savannah was my representative and she was very informative and attentive throughout the whole process. Savannah reached out to me about a week later informing me I can pick up my car... everything was handled directly for payment with the insurance company and Chapparone, it was so easy and so efficient!
I was so happy to see my car in tip-top shape as if nothing ever happened. I even received a message from Phil about a safety concern regarding my tire which was unrelated to their job scope but he provided tips on how to handle the situation since i should be under warranty with Mercedes - talk about an entire team who truly cares about their customers!

A friend of mine referred me to Chapparone - They are one of the few Tesla authorized repair shops in San Diego. It was not close to home, so I was a little hesitant, but they killed it! Summer at the front desk was so understanding and sweet, Ricardo the estimator was very detailed and so organized! But Danny/Donny killed it! He made me feel like I was the only customer! My car came back GORGEOUS! They worked well with my insurance company which always makes everything easier! I highly recommend them! THANK YOU!read moreread less
- Kalani C.8/17/2022My car was damaged in a rear bumper accident. I brought my car to Chapparone to get it fixed. They were very accommodating from the start and got slid into a open spot later that week. My car was fixed within a week and a half. Looked brand new, clean, and no hiccups. Easy and smooth transaction from the auto body, insurance company and myself. Ricardo was excellent and superb customer service. I recommend for anyone needing quick and fast service.

- Jennifer C.8/16/2022Got an appointment pretty easily. The front desk was really kind and got me started a little before my appointment time.
Ricardo is awesome and answered all my questions and was very knowledgeable about everything. He is super helpful and I would definitely recommend this place to anyone. Do keep in mind they do only work on cars made 2014 or later.
There are like 3 or four parking spots. Depending on how bad the damage is I would say it takes no more than 20 minutes for them to go over everything with you.read moreread less - Colton A.7/12/2022My car was brought here for an insurance claim and my car left chapparone looking better than when it went in. I need a dent pulled and they ended up replacing my door and Ethel decals that were on the vehicle. It took a little longer than expected but the results are worth it. The biggest thing for me is my car was detailed and shine when I received it hopefully The next time I get bodywork done it will be to add something and not repair something; either way I will choose chapparone as my go to shop for those needs.read moreread less
- William P.7/11/2022Except for the few certified ones, most high-end shops will not take work on Jaguar cars, and those certified will not work on twenty-year-old ones such as mine. The liquid, lacquer-like finish and clearcoat together with the continuous curves make the work difficult, to say the least. Enter the crew at Chapparone who took on the job and achieved the best dent removal and paint match, even when it required recoating half the car to repair a dent in the rear quarter-panel. All the work was carefully explained to me beforehand, and I was made to feel confident that the result would maintain the condition and value of the car. Goes without saying, my confidence was justified.read moreread less
- Steven T.5/30/2022Was rear ended on the freeway. Car was drivable. Chapparone was recommended by a friend.
They explained all the differences between what the insurance said and what was going to happen in a manner that was clear, professional, respectful and thorough. They fixed all the issues with the car that were a direct result of the collision in question, even those that were not seen initially by them or the insurance company.
They were able to get ahold of the insurance company to help resolve an issue of payment at the last minute when we couldn't. They even cleaned the rims and tires before returning my car.
Basically they did everything a person could want from a body shop and more. I was very impressed with Chapparone. I recommend Chapparone to anybody who needs work doneread moreread less - Heath M.5/13/2022Recently I needed minor repairs including paint work on my vehicle, and researched shops in my area. Chapparone is a preferred body shop with my insurance company (USAA), so I stopped in for an estimate. Ricardo and company was fantastic. They initially told me 4-5 days to complete the work on my vehicle, but then with the lead time (my appointment was 4 weeks out due to current work loads for the shop) they were able to ensure parts were on hand when my vehicle was dropped off, and they were able to return my vehicle back to me in 2 days.
The work completed was top notch. I recommend Chapparone for your auto body repair needs.read moreread less - Nicole D.5/11/2022Unfortunately my new BMW has been a magnet for people hitting me, sideswiping etc...

- Daigo Y.4/06/2022This man in the attached picture, taken just four hours ago today, is Ray, an employee at Chapparone. Ray is one of the reasons why Chapparone is rated five stars, and Ray is one of the reasons why I don't lose hope in humanity, despite all the disappointing, infuriating or depressing stories and news we encounter every day.
A couple of nights ago, my teenage son ran over a dead deer with my car, which caused its underbody cover to hang loose. When I took it to Chapparone this afternoon, I found out that they were unable to fix it immediately, as they were fully booked until June(!!). However, instead of turning me around (which he could've easily done), Ray decided to get on the ground in the parking lot, still burning hot from the scorching California sun, stick his head undercarriage where it still smelled like dead meat, and see if he can temporarily fix it with few clips, so we can safely drive around until we get it permanently fixed. He tried multiple types of clips until he got it right, patiently going back and forth between my car and the shop. When he was done, I thanked him and asked him how much I owed him. He said I didn't owe him anything. Feeling super grateful and not really knowing what to do, I awkwardly tried to hand him $60 in cash, telling him I wanted him to have some drink on me. -- He graciously declined to take it, saying that he would like others to help him when he needs help, and that's why he did this, and that's why he couldn't take money from me. Obviously, "do unto others as you'd have done to you" is the philosophy and principle Ray lives by. He is a man of principle. This is why I'm here writing this today, giving Ray at Chapparone well-deserved five stars. Thank you Ray, you made my day and you make this world a better place!!read moreread less - cyrus n.3/28/2022Brought the car in for some more body work. Due to Covid and parts availability they couldn't get me for 8 weeks but I decided to wait. Once my car was in they took it apart, found some more damage, got the adjuster to change the estimate, and did a whole heap of work on it. Got it back and couldn't be happier with the quality of work. If you've lived in San Diego you know the Chapparone family are definitely car people. But they also know how to treat people. Doesn't matter if you have a 918 Spyder or a Corolla, they will treat you and your car great. Thanks again Ray!read moreread less

He kept me very updated about the status of my repairs and when I went to pick up the car it was beautiful and somehow also smelled new!

- S C.2/09/2022Let me say RICARDO MARTINEZ deserves more than this 5 star yelp review.
I have used Chapparone a few times and every time they blow me away with excellent work.
From the first phone call with Summer to everyone that worked on my car, the results were outstanding. Over the years I have recommended this place to several friends and colleagues.
Ricardo Martinez took care of my car and his customer service was beyond ANY 5 star service.
He is the nicest guy you'll ever meet and so good with his work. Professional top notch and a problem solver. He went so much beyond what was expected and you know he takes pride and devotion to his work.
Ricardo kept me in the loop with updates and worked late hours to follow up. He was very quick in assessing problems and delivering solutions. I had a great piece of mind knowing my car was in excellent hands with Ricardo. My car looks even newer than when I bought it new from the dealership!
I've always had excellent service with Chapparone.
But this time Ricardo just made it on a level that I don't think I'll ever get that level of quality of service at any other company. He also sent a thank you card with a gift! Such a sweet gesture.read moreread less - Clarissa L.2/02/2022If I could give this place 10 stars, I would. The professionalism the employees have is unlike any other place I have ever been before. Everyone I talked to there is just so caring. I got into a bad car accident and my car was towed away. Unsure of what to do the receptionist (sorry I don't remember her name) was great, she called the tow shop and my insurance and handled business. Ray has been taking care of my car since the accident. He did a great job managing the appraisal and keeping me updated on my car's progress. I'm beyond impress with their work.read moreread less
- Christian X.1/21/2022Unfortunately my car was rear ended on my way home from Los Angeles to San Diego in the morning and I was struggling to find a repair shop that offered same day walk ins. Thankfully Chapparone Auto Body and Painting does just that and takes immediate walk ins with no appointments!
I had the pleasure of working directly with Ricardo Martinez. He was extremely professional throughout the whole time on working with him. He was patient and was thorough to explain all the potential issues that may have been caused by the collision. They even booked me in much earlier which was perfect!
What is also very nice is that they are literally next to a rental car business so if you needed a rental it was within walking distance. I received my car back in perfect condition and they even went above and beyond to do additional calibration to ensure my car was in 100% condition. I was more excited they were able to match the paint perfectly since it was a difficult color to match (Sonic Gray Pearl).
Unexpectedly they also sent me a card in the mail to follow up with me. Now that is extra on top of the service that they provided. I can surely say that I will be returning to Chapparone Auto Body and Painting should the need ever arise. Thank you once again for taking very great care of my car Ricardo and for your professionalism throughout the whole experience! 11/10!read moreread less - Bryan B.12/22/2021Just had my car detailed at Chapparone.

To top it all off, he even buffed out the spots in the doors during our conversation.

- Ramsee C.9/28/2021They are on the list for USAA insurance and they did a great job appraising the damage to my car after being rear ended. After calculating the cost of the bumpers and headlights and so forth, they looked carefully at the underlayer and found that the frame of my car was dented. I'm so grateful that they looked closely!

- Raab D.8/18/2021My car had gotten scratched with yellow paint and it looked really tricky to fix. I had no idea what to do because I'm not very familiar with how to fix things with cars. So I called Chapparone And a gentleman by the name of Tyler answered the phone and offered to take a look at the car even if it meant I could email him some pictures to get an estimate. He was kind enough to respond to me very promptly and also he gave me a good estimate and told me that he could actually be fixed without even needing their help. I came into the store and ask them to look at it in Tyler was kind enough to know that he could easily just get that paint off using acetone. He remove the paint for me really quickly and didn't even charge me. It was very kind of him to do that. He also gave me a very fair and honest estimate on the dent I had in my car.

- David B.6/08/2021I was on the freeway and ran over a tire that ripped my whole front end off my Mustang. While I was waiting for the tow truck to get towed, I was quickly scrambling to research a good place to do the repairs. I've had bad experiences in the past with some of these body shops. I found this place on Yelp and it was close to my house. I noticed it had 5 stars with a good amount of reviews. I decided to take a chance.
I've been a General Manager for many years running some of the nation's largest restaurants and have owned my own. Customer service has always been a part of who I am. This place by far exceeded expectations right from the start. They waited to take me in as they were closing. While waiting for my wife to pick me up, even one of the ladies was concerned with me waiting outside and offered me a ride as she was leaving.
The owner Mark also is around working closely with his team. He was the one to go over my vehicle and comforted me with the work and coordinated everything between myself and the insurance company. He was honest and up front with the work. He even went above and beyond when my car was ready by anticipating my needs when it came to my black out light covers I originally had. He didn't like how it looked as they didn't fit 100% and took the liberty in tinting my front headlights thinking I would like them. They looked amazing. He offered to take them off if I didn't like them. The tint work prompted me to make an appointment with his window tint business and do my windows. The work was done perfect with both precision and quality. On top of that, my car was done perfectly as well.
I had to bring my car back in to get my grill that we waited for to get that on. I mentioned about a discoloration on my rear bumper and asked him to quote me to get it fixed. They tried what they could to fix it without any charge. They were really fixated on trying to make there clients cars to be looking there best. They really took the initiative when working with the insurance company in repairing and taking my word for the damage that was done.
My experiences as I said have always been mediocre or bad with dealing with body work companies. I felt very comfortable with there work and there personal touch. When I'm ready to work on my small touch ups I need to perfect my Mustang, I will definitely be taking it here. I couldn't be happier, and I'm very meticulous in the details of things. I had a special front license plate called the Sto n Sho. I was adamant on getting this replaced. They replaced it and also gave me my old one while touching it up as well.
There is too much to list on there experience they gave me with my vehicle. I just bought a house in the area and will be sure to continue to recommend them as well as use them for any work I need done in the future. They're 5 stars for a reason! I do my research in finding good businesses via Yelp. It has always assisted me and my family by avoiding making mistakes we have in the passed by not researching whether it's food or other services offered. You don't get this personal touch with mechanics or auto shops. This is a no brainer to bring your vehicle here. No matter what, they'll always make sure everything is right and that you're pleased!

- Jasmine C.2/24/2021I was in a car accident back in December. I was rear ended in a 3 car accident. I took my vehicle here because my lawyer had recommended them to me.
Tyler and Summer were both very great to me during this whole process. The process took longer because I had aftermarket parts involved. Usually, most auto shops do not replace aftermarket parts. I was fortunate that Tyler was able to help me with this issue.
Throughout the whole process, Tyler kept in contact with me sending me weekly sometimes daily updates on my car and the status of my parts. I couldn't have asked for better customer service. His service was superb!
Summer was great as well. Every time I came into the shop, she was friendly and professional as well.
I am happy that my car is fixed to how I had her built originally. It's not easy getting my Japanese Honda Emblems especially as they have to be ordered outside of the country.

I got quotes from like 6 places and their price was far lower but didn't not change the quality of work done on my car. Rick was so so helpful and awesome to work with and did an spectacular job. All of the staff were so helpful. Stop looking, come here.read moreread less
- Chris G.2/09/2021Not sure if I have ever been more satisfied with a service then from what I received from the Chapparone team. My car was involved in a hit-and-run so needless to say I was not thrilled to bring my car to an autoshop. However, within seconds of being at this business I felt completely at ease knowing that these guys truly cared about customer service. Louie is such an incredibly nice and thoughtful guy- he worked with me throughout the process of talking to the insurance company and making sure my car was going to be properly fixed. The paint on my car was not easy to match but in the end it looked outstanding. I would give this place a 10/10 if I could! Highly recommend!read moreread less
- Ariane P.2/09/2021Chapparone's whole team was awesome! Alisa and Louis took care of me from start to finish! They both had great communication skills and made sure I felt safe and taken care of. Chapparone also took the time to return my car in a clean and better-than-before condition! Thanks for the great work you are providing to your customers!!read moreread less
- Greta M.2/08/2021What a find! I'm working in San Diego on a construction project and the machines in my hotel are broken and dirty. I did a Yelp search and reached out to these folks. I got a quick response and decided to give them a try. When I arrived Tracy was so friendly and helpful and the price quoted was very reasonable. Honestly it was just a bit more than what the coin operated service would be with the extra bonus that I didn't have to do my laundry!
I dropped off my clothes and received a text just a couple of hours later that they were ready. I came back and picked up a neatly packed bundle with fresh, clean clothes. I cannot recommend these folks enough! I'll be back soon.Useful 1FunnyCoolread moreread less - Ben L.2/03/2021I came for an estimate and this company is following social distancing and masking policy. They told me to try paint-less dent repair for my minor dent instead of full body work. The estimator also was familiar with the complex 4 stage paint process for my car, which can't be said for the dealer owned body shop themselves. This is a business with integrity and would return if I ever need more serious work.read moreread less
- Jayvee S.1/28/2021This is my 2nd time to have a bodywork/repair service since June 2016, as always (Susie) the owner's wife treated me like a family not just to accomplish the repair with quality but also a very open minded person to understand my needs. The shop continue to grow and have a very assisting solid team. Tyler as one of the representative took his time to manage & respond to my questions and needs while managing multiple clients. More on that, they keep me updated to every situations as my vehicle is being work on. Im blessed to find Chapparone as my main staple bodyshop near to where I lived. And will do more business with them going forward.
Thank you Guys! @ Chapparone 🙂read moreread less - Linette Y.1/06/2021After my car was hit by someone, this shop was recommended to me by my car enthusiast friend. I could not have chosen a better team to fix my car. Alisa made the insurance process super smooth, Rick was so accommodating, and the whole team was able to complete repairs in just 2 days! Stellar service! Definitely would recommend!
Furthermore, the color match for my black Honda Civic is on point. I feel like I got back a new car.read moreread less - Elaine V.12/30/202010/10! I scheduled my appointment by phone, and it was smooth check in, smooth check out. Tyler kept me informed of any updates, including the fact that they had to keep my car in for longer, which was fine. Not really doing much driving during the pandemic, anyway. Everything was smooth sailing, friendly staff. I can't remember the receptionist's name (sorry!), but she explained all the paperwork very straightforwardly. Louie and Tyler gave a smooth check out experience. I'm very pleased with the quality of the repair. Thank you guys very much!read moreread less
- Cynthia G.12/23/2020Wow is all I can say. After a minor fender bender, the Insurance company of the other driver recommended a few garages. I chose here because they were close to home and within walking distance of the Enterprise rentals. I had an appointment quickly with Lou. He was friendly, fast, and accomodating! He said three days, and he was spot on. They did an expert job my car almost looked like new! I had received a decorative licensce plate and asked them to put it on. Joe was polite and courteous and happy to help. It's the holidays which many find stressful, not here! Chapparone made it so smooth and easy, I highly recommend them!read moreread less
- Cynthia F.12/05/2020Great work, perfect repair! I have had the pleasure before, to use Chapparone Auto Repair before, some years ago.
My Audi Q5, was accidentally, hit on the door panel, from someone backing in next to me. The only place I thought of was this company. My past experience was excellent, and this one was too.
A perfect repair, perfect paint match and as always great to work with the owners, and the front desk.
If you are very picky about your car, as I am, this company will not disappoint you.
I would highly recommend you take your car to them for your peace of mind.read moreread less - Jonathan G.11/24/2020I 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. I'm beyond satisfied and content with the quality of work, customer service and professionalism. Anytime I had a question I would text him and he'll reply within the hour. I had a good experience with Chapparone, thank you all.read moreread less
- Stew P.11/18/2020This place is awesome and way beyond excellent. I was looking for a body shop around town to get my sons vehicle fix. My son ruin his car body alignment and the doors was not opening or closing properly. Of course this is a out of pocket payment and not through insurance. I first ask for an estimate through Yelp and the Owner Mark responded. Mark suggested to bring it to the shop so they can properly see what is the problem. I took the car to the shop and talk to Rick. Rick then ask one of his mechanics to check my vehicle. After properly diagnosing the damage and giving me an estimate, "very good price by the way". I then decided to have this shop a go. I got my vehicle back and it was excellent, they even wash and polished my car. I will definitely tell my family and friends about this place and how their work is way beyond satisfaction. You will love this place!read moreread less
- Brian W.11/12/2020My car looks as good as it did when i picked up at the dealer.. great work body and paint work. I had some small door dings taking out while in the shop and the guy did a great job. Louie is great to work with as is the whole team. I highly recommend them for picky European car owners like myself. You want it done right this in the place.read moreread less
- Reyna P.11/05/2020I brought my car to Chapparone on a Friday afternoon after I was sideswiped and had pretty significant damage to the driver side of my Dodge Charger. From the initial phone conversation, everyone was extremely helpful. I felt like my car was going to be in good hands. I had done an initial estimate with my insurance company before I arrived, so Alyssa (I might have spelled her name wrong) asked for me to email her all of the documentation that the insurance company gave me. When I arrived to drop off my car, I only had to wait a short amount of time before I was able to speak with Louie, who would be handling everything with my car.
Louie was straightforward and let me know that he wasn't going to call me a million times, if he had updated info, he'd send it in an email. He let me know that the estimate the insurance company gave me would most likely go up and that he would try to make sure that I got the best quality for my money. I asked how long it would take and he let me know that it would be about 2 weeks.
I received an update about halfway through the process letting me know what the status of my vehicle was. The estimate went up significantly, but it was because there was more damage than initially thought. After the initial estimate, I didn't have to speak to my insurance company at all, Chapperone took care of all of it.
My car was done on time and it looks amazing. You can't tell that there was any damage. I would have liked more communication, but it's because I worry too much. Haha. But in all honesty, there was no need for them to contact me often because the work was getting done. I definitely recommend Chapparone and hopefully I don't need any more work done, but if I do, I will definitely go to them.read moreread less - Francisco D.10/09/2020First off, since we're in COVID-19 era, these guys are taking the pandemic and safety of their employees and customers seriously. No contact, plexiglass and one person only in the office. Doing it right.
Now, down to the real meat of the review.
My car had some oxidation on the hood of the car and some clear coat failure on the quarter panel. I was curious to see what they would say about each of the issues and what they would recommend. I've visited several shops in the area already so this shop was last on my research list.
I chatted with Louie and it was a very enjoyable experience. We had a great conversation ranging from painting a car to paint maintenance.
During this conversation I could pick out a few things. The guys who work at this shop really know their paint. They don't plan to sell you anything you don't need. They'll be honest with you to let you know when you'll need to paint the car and how much it'll set you back by (if it's not through insurance).
Because of Louie, I didn't go through their services. He recommended me to try compounding the oxidation before consider repainting the affected area. It was the best and correct answer.
The quarter panel clear coat failure? Well, clear coat will eventually fail - this is probably a repaint in the future when it gets worst.
Even though I didn't go through their services today, I know I will be visiting them for future auto body paint jobs. Their knowledge, quality and honesty says all it needs to say about getting a job done right.read moreread less - Steven C.10/09/2020Louie from Chapparone auto and body took care of my needs the minute I walked in. My back bumper was hit at a supermarket parking lot and Louie was transparent with my damages, even offering to reattach the bumper and clips for free. I would recommend this to anyone looking for car services. Thanks again Louie and Eddie, would definitely be coming back for any future work !read moreread less
- Ray F.10/03/2020Took my 2017 Honda Accord in much need of paint rehab after some scrapes. The folks at Chapparone are 100% class from reception through the estimate process and the actual repair / paint. Could not be happier with the job they did. I read Yelp and other reviews from several auto body shops, requested two estimates and went with Chapparone. I would recommend them to anyone.read moreread less
- William W.9/17/2020Used Yelp to get a quote from them for powder coating my wheels and was not disappointed. They were a little higher than other quotes I got, but if you want quality work, it's worth the extra little bit. Mark Chapparone is an excellent communicator and goes above and beyond to help his customers. Highly Recommend!!read moreread less
- Samantha G.9/06/2020Louie did a PHENOMENAL job. Someone sideswiped me causing the damage to my car. Louie explained the entire process of fixing my car. We went through my insurance after I had no hope of them covering the damage. He fixed EVERY dent and scratch seen. Replaced the completely and had the car fixed in less than a week. He gave me an over the top fair assessment and price of repair. All I needed to do at the end of the day was pay the deductible. Dealt with insurance where I didn't have to and as a girl who has no idea how to manage car repairs he was genuine, honest and professional. Usually this stuff makes me so uncomfortable but I knew my car was in great hands. They even detailed the inside of the car at the time I went to pick it up! Such a nice guy and a great company. Would definitely recommend them to anyone! The hand sanitizer was always available and everyone wore masks.read moreread less
- L C.9/04/2020Really impressed! From start to finish, everything was very professional. Mark clearly loves what he does and holds himself to a high standard. Louie was also fantastic. He sent me updates on the progress of the repair, which was great. The complimentary Uber ride was very much appreciated.
The front bumper of my car was a mess and now it looks as though I just drove it, brand new, off the lot. Not only did they do a great job on the bumper but they also detailed the car, inside and out. My car is a 2011, looks like a 2020!read moreread less - Gee Yong J.9/04/2020I got in a car accident during COVID and went straight to Chapparone Auto Body and had the BEST experience!

- Meghan M.9/02/2020Chapparone Auto Body shop is as good as it gets! From getting an estimate to getting my car back, I couldn't be happier. Let's start at the beginning. As a younger woman, it's nerve-wracking taking my car someplace new. Mark helped me get an estimate and helped me through the process of putting in a claim with my insurance and what to expect. Summer got my insurance information and completely handled it. Dropping off was super easy and Louie handled it when the actual was higher than the initial insurance check. I didn't even have to do anything. He communicated with me the entire time. Their location is walking distance to enterprise which is great if you have to rent a car! I got my car back and honestly, thought it wasn't mine because they had detailed my car inside and out. I was stunned! My car looked better than before someone had even hit me. They sent me an uber to get me from work to the shop to pick up my car. Checking out was super easy and Louie made sure to go over everything with me. All the work is covered under warranty. To even top how happy I was with everything, I just received a handwritten thank you from Louie. I can promise you if I ever need anything done, I will be taking it back there! If you are reading this review trying to decide if this shop is for you, go for it!!read moreread less
- Looing F.8/31/2020Amazing Staff and customer service. They took my car in and took care of it like it was their own. I had an issue with a ding and insurance was kind of being a let down and did not want to take responsibility. Mark the owner and Louie just told me they would take care of it, and they did exactly that. They kept me updated on what was going on and even helped me with the rental of the car I needed in replacement for the time being. Cant say enough good things about them, Thank you Louie and Mark!read moreread less
- Sarah E.8/14/2020I can not thank Chapparone enough for the wonderful job they did on my car! I had brought my car in after it was badly keyed for a new paint job and repair.

- Conn D.7/28/2020Excellent service, excellent work, just excellence all around. I had a hellish nightmare with uhaul's 3rd party insurance company (someone hit my car with their uhaul and ripped off my front bumper, had to go through them to get the car taken care of), which resulted in my car being stuck with them since the 1st of July. They didn't charge me for storage for those 26 days and their customer service is fantastic. Louie kept me informed throughout the entire process and made sure everything was taken care of. He was the one who took care of my car and he did a damn good job on it. My car looks better than ever and I will be going to them for anything else that needs to be repaired.read moreread less

- Jeressa B.6/23/2020Rick and his team are AMAZING! I came in to get my passenger door fixed because it had a huge dent and various scratches from an accident. Trust me when I say that you will not find a team more honest and reliable than Rick and his guys! They pay attention to EVERY specific detail in the repair and their quality of work is outstanding. I told Rick that I wanted my car to look like the accident never happened and his team made sure that my car looked brand new. They even cleaned the exterior and interior of my car! I received different quotes from other shops but nothing could beat what the Chapparone team had to offer. Rick gives you the utmost confidence that your car will be repaired perfectly and that's exactly the type of person I was looking to trust with my car. I would highly recommend this shop to anyone because they truly work wonders. Thank you so much to Rick and his team!read moreread less
- Fong L.6/16/2020COVID19 has not affected their superior service. Louis was super helpful through the whole process. He took over getting my insurance claim quickly approved. The repair was completed in less than 2 days.
A week after I got back the car I found my roof rack scuffed. I called and dropped my the next day. Louis didn't question it and asked if they could take it in to fix it. It came back with the scuffs removed.
Auto repair shops can be a crap shoot but not here. They will point out details without you having to tell them. They make recommendations with your best interest in mind.
At the time they offered a special discount for exterior and interior detail for $200...unheard of! Without me having to tell them, they discovered my vehicle had a car bar in the front. They knew not to detail that area but instead did extra detail on the rest of the vehicle.
Thank you Chapparone for a job well done at a great price!read moreread less - sasha m.6/12/2020We brought our car into Chapparone after a hit-and-run at a Costco parking lot.

- Sandy S.6/10/2020I unfortunately rear ended someone a few days after gettin my new car. This was my first experience with a body shop as a car owner so I was nervous going around town getting quotes not knowing what to expect. I got a quote from the owner Mark and he was extremely detailed and I felt that I could trust him to make my car all new again. He really took the time to examine my damages and explain to me what would be needed. When I dropped my car off, Louie was the one who took care of everything. My car ended up having way more damage once they took the bumper off and he was quick to update me, deal with my insurance, and managed to get my car completed a few days early!! My car looks amazing and I couldn't be happier. Thank you Mark and Louie!!read moreread less
- Britt H.6/05/2020Louie, Rick & Summer were amazing! Although, we all had an unfortunate experience with Turo, being that their guest was responsible for damages.
