Can't say enough about Advanced! They are everything you want in a body shop. Honest, quality work and family owned. My family has been coming here for years. They keep in contact with updates along the way and are very efficient. I had to bring my car in recently for a hit and run while it was parked. my frost time dealing with an "accident" and they made it easy. They even made my car look like new again!!

Rick and his crew did it again! Brought our Honda Civic in for some minor bumper work. No matter how small Rick and the team at Advanced Collision Repair treated the work like it was a big project. The entire experience from start to finish was well executed and efficient. The entire team at 'Advanced Collision Repair' are pros. This is our 4th visit to ACR for a different vehicle and they've never let us down. Thank you ACR!!!

A pickup truck backed into my driver door on my 2023 Mach E. I was very upset so I asked local Escondido ford dealer for their body shop. They referred me to Advanced Collision on Autopark way. I'm glad they did. Outstanding job on my door. Matched paint perfect and body work fantastic. Never tell it's not original. John was great and the people are very nice to deal with. Facility is very clean and cozy waiting office. Can't say enough about their business A very happy customer.

I recently had my car repaired at Advanced Collision Repair and I couldn't be more impressed! From the moment I walked in, the staff was friendly and professional. John McClure was my point of contact and he truly made the experience exceptional. He took the time to provide a clear estimate, explained what options I had to repair my car and kept me updated throughout the entire process. Not only did they do outstanding work (my car looks brand new again) but they even offered to pick me up when the repairs were finished. This place is a rare gem. Highly recommend!

I was rear ended and the entire back end of my car was destroyed. The whole team did an incredible job replacing and rebuilding my car to brand new condition. I highly recommend Advanced Collision Repair for your accident repair needs.

About a year ago we had the front bumper on our F250 repainted due to rock chipping and a few cars "touch parking"... we were advised to spend some extra money and have the bumper sanded all the way do to ensure a smooth "new" appearance which we did...at the time the truck came back and looked great. A month or so ago we noticed that the paint on the bumper was just pealing off in small sections in several locations on the bumper. Since it was under warranty we took it back and John came out and looked it over. After a few minutes he confirmed they had an issue with one of their previous painters and possibly some of the paints. He pointed out that since we had "done it right" the first time that the repair would be under warranty and they they would "take it all the way down" and we were covered. We get scheduled to come in a few weeks later and during check in the young lady used the exact same wording, warranty, all the way down etc... so we dropped it off without any reservations. A few hours later I get a call from John telling me that unless we pay them $250 to "take it down" it will "not look good" when we're done. They only intend to sand it in the few areas where the paint peeled even though there is obvious adhesion issues. Needless to say I was a bit upset, at no time during the previous two meetings was additional costs ever brought up even as they stood there looking at it. He tried to accuse us of using a high pressure "pressure washer" to wash the car... no way. We occasionally take it through Costco but usually hand wash it ourselves. So they "bait & switched" us into paying for work that was under warranty because otherwise it would "look bad"... we were about to ask them to paint the side of our Tesla as it had a deep scratch but with this business ethic, or lack thereof, there is no way we will ever bring them another car nor will we be recommending them. We felt totally betrayed and taken advantage of. They told us we had the same warranty but at this point if the paint falls off the truck again I would pay to start all over with a reputable company. Avoid this place, it's not that they have questionable ethics, it's that they have none at all... Advanced Collision did reply.. here's my response.. Thank you for your reply.. and yes I did authorize the additional amount because, as you said, it wouldn't look good unless we did... kind of had us over a barrel. And I find it disconcerting that two employees inspected the bumper and it wasn't until the paint rep looked at it that you "discovered" the chips.. which by the way, you identified when we first put it in... regardless... the entire process in retrospect seemed contrived particularly when you accused me odd using a pressure washer on the vehicle as a way of explaining the peeling paint...

After an accident, I brought my vehicle in for repairs. They took care of everything between my insurance and had it all done within a short span. The vehicle looks better than when it came off the dealership floor! I recommend them to anyone in need of any repairs!

I'm a subcontract that's been servicing this shop for over 40 years. I've also used them to repair various vehicles for myself through the years. As a vendor though, I feel I have a deeper insight of the pride this staff puts into their work. They're extremely demanding of me and others subcontracts. And I believe they're one of the finest auto body repair shops you'll find anywhere in the country.

If you are looking for an honest, professional and friendly place to take your vehicle to get fixed this is the place. I had 2 unfortunate incidents where my vehicle was hit and damaged. They took such great care and communicated the entire time with updates on where they were with the repairs. The work is guaranteed but honestly you won’t be bringing back your vehicle because the work is done right the first time.

I am extremely pleased with the work performed by John McClure and the whole Advanced Collision Repair team. My 2014 Cadillac XTS Platinum was hit by a neighbor while parked. I opened an insurance claim and called my local dealer who referred this shop for repairs. I waited for my assigned appointment and just prior made contact on possible timing for parts as I would out of pocket until reimbursed for a rental car. John made contact with a dealer to confirm availability of parts prior to my initial inspection. He made sure that I had realistic information about the timing of an insurance repair. They went to work right away and submitted a supplement to my insurance which was approved in the same day. There was a problem with the parts that were to be received by the parts house suggested by the insurance carrier and that caused a brief delay but John had already came up with a better solution to keep that time is of the essence attitude and take care of me as a customer. Am I ever grateful! Today I will pick up my car and be back on the road. Thank you Advanced Collision Repair Team! I appreciate your professionalism and customer service! If I ever need to use these services again, I would be repeat business for this shop.

We were very impressed with the cleanliness of the office and shop. The staff was extremely friendly, helpful and professional. They dealt with our insurance company and kept us updated. They informed of the progress of our vehicle. They vehicle look brand new when the work was done. We would highly recommend them for any body work and would definitely use them again if need be.

I had a really great experience here! Myra was very kind and communicative with what was happening with my vehicle. They worked with the insurance, who was challenging, and were able to get all the repairs approved that I needed. Couldn’t be happier with the service and repair.

After a collision accident, I was recommended by Volvo Dealership Escondido to get my car inspected and repaired at Advanced Collision Repair in Escondido. I worked with Myra, who was extremely professional, patient and knowledgeable. As it was my first time going through Collision Repair, I wasn’t familiar with the process and asked a lot of questions and Myra gave me a fast and detailed quote/explanation. Flawless work. Had to fix the front bumper, headlights and a lot of parts inside the engine hood but the team did it perfectly. My car looked like it was brand new. Painted perfectly and no signs of dents. The team was very accommodating and friendly as well. Would recommend to anyone looking to repair their cars in San Diego. Couldn’t be more satisfied.
