Overall Customer Satisfaction
Customers consistently praise the exceptional customer service, with staff members being described as professional, communicative, and going above and beyond expectations. The quality of repairs receives high marks, with vehicles often looking like new or better than before. Many customers appreciate the proactive communication throughout the repair process, timely updates, and the convenience of shuttle services. The use of OEM parts and attention to detail in repairs are frequently highlighted.

The cleanliness of returned vehicles and the professional, friendly atmosphere are consistently mentioned as positive aspects of the service experience.

My Experience

This is the second time I’ve used them and I trust them completely. My car had broken down near LA and I needed it worked on before I could drive to Carlsbad. I got a quote from the other shop near LA. The other shop said it would be $387 to repair. Carlsbad collision charge me $196. I didn’t show them the other quote. The first quote was repairing two panels under my car. However, the person at Carlsbad collision brought me in the shop and showed me the damage and said that I only had to replace one of them because the other panel was just a little bit scraped and didn’t need to be fixed. The other shop was gonna replace both. I wouldn’t have known any better and would’ve paid it. I am so impressed by Carlsbad’s collisions integrity and not just trying to most get the most out of their customers. I won’t go anywhere else in the future. They have truly earned my trust, and I would recommend them to anyone.

My Experience

Special thanks to Abi Sarmiento.

I’m extremely happy with the rear door replacement on my Toyota. Abi was so friendly and made the whole process easier and smooth from start to finish. The finished result looks just like the original—seamless and perfectly matched. Thanks to Abi and the team who worked on my car—I couldn’t be more satisfied with the quality of the work. If you ever need car service, I highly recommend them.

I had an excellent experience with Carlsbad Collision from start to finish. Their customer service was outstanding, and it was clear they take pride in doing quality work. I really appreciated that they used OEM parts, which gave me confidence that my vehicle was being repaired to the proper standards. A special thank you to Alfonso, who was fantastic throughout the entire process. He kept me updated every step of the way with frequent communication, worked seamlessly with my insurance company, and made the entire experience as stress-free as possible. Before I took delivery of my vehicle, he made sure I was completely satisfied with the repairs and answered all of my questions. If you’re looking for a collision repair shop that values quality, professionalism, and customer satisfaction, I highly recommend Carlsbad Collision. They truly go above and beyond.

My BMW needed several trim pieces changed from black to blue. Color match was perfect. Reinstallation fit & finish was perfect. Car was clean, polished & ready to go as promised. Friendly staff easy to deal with. I’ll be back if I need anything in the future!

I liked the fact that my Tesla was repaired in-house and not taken/towed some place else.

Repair Quality

After having my Tesla for over 2 weeks, I was given an estimated return time of 19 days. I was disappointed but then I got a call at 4:40 pm on Monday that I could pick up my car at 8 am on Tuesday. Since you were open until 5 pm, I was able to rush there to pick up my car before 5 pm on Monday. I was very happy to get my car back. The car looked great and I appreciated the car wash and clean tires. I was surprised my car wasn’t ready by 8 am Monday but glad to get it by the end of the day on Monday (17 days) instead of Wednesday (19 days) as originally estimated.
