Terry’s Auto Body & Paint

Terrys Auto Body excellent shop. Rudy and staff was very hospitable. They worked on my new aftermarket front lip for my 04 Scion XB and did almost a exact color match. Price reasonable. Highly recommend for your body shop needs for repairs. Thanks again see you next time!

We had our pearl white Acura TL dented in the rear passenger side above the tire and decided to come here because the other shops said the cost to repair would be $ 1,500– $ 2,000! Rudy took a look at our car, gave us honest advice and willing to work with us said he would do the work for $ 800! We dropped off the car that evening and in 3 days it was finished, upon seeing the car we couldn’t even remember which side was damaged, he did a phenomenal job! Definitely recommend this place!

This place is awesome I live in encinitas and any time my cars need work done I take it here, Rudy is awesome always super helpful. Recently one of my cars was hit in the parking lot and the drivers side was damaged I took it to Terry’s auto shop and Rudy was great kept us updated on the car, I would highly recommend this place they do a great work, prices are great and the customer service is fantastic. If you guys need work done go here and ask for Rudy you won’t be disappointed, thank you Rudy for always making our experience great

I was T-​boned in one of my cars in Feb. I took my car to terry’s because I was told about Terry’s through my friend who works for Ford. I am very pleased to say that Rudy would call me and give me updates more then the insurance company did (from the other car who hit me). They can me an estimate with in 3 hours of me taking it to the shop and dropping it off. There were a few things that they could not see until they cut into the car. When they found something else wrong with it they called me even before the insurance company did sometimes even a day before the insurance company. They gave me a time line of when it was to be done and it was done 4 days before they had told me I was very pleased with their services that I will always take my cars to them if anything happens to one of my cars.

I damaged my fender while on vacation down here. It needed replacing. I called around for estimates and timelines for when it could be fixed. Terry’s had the best price plus they were able to do the job in the couple of days that I had. It looks great!!! Like new!!! I was really happy with the work, the price, and the customer service. (Thanks Rudy for all your help!) Would definitely go back, although I live in Tahoe, 10 hours away! If you are local, check them out!!!

So, I just had a semi-​minor accident in my brand new car. I was referred by Hyundai to Terry’s. Corey was extremely helpful. He told me would give me the best price he could. And after getting quotes from 5 other body shops, his price beat the others by a long shot. He only needed my car for a day and half and the repair turned out amazing. My car looks brand new again. Thank you Terry’s for all your help.

Was not happy about them. Took money from insurance fix only half a problem. After their fix become other problem. And they refuse to fix it. So bad. I left in happy. They do good job on painting but really bad on fixing. Never again be their.

Awesome customer service and auto body work! Very very happy.

4.5 stars for customer service — this family owned and operated business isn’t shy to let you know that they appreciate you coming to them while there are so many other auto body shops in San Diego.
3.5 stars for quality of work. They did everything they promised to do and then some, but there were some flaws in the metallic paint. I’m not painter, but I would imagine that much like painting your nails (sorry, best comparison I could come up with), you have to be careful about getting too many glitter flakes in one spot. Well there were about 2 spots that I noticed that were coated more than the others and I guess that there really isn’t much you can do about that once it’s done.
They DID, however, totally fixed a dent that i had in my hood that had been bugging me for years! And there was no extra charge, so I really, really appreciated that!
I believe the guy who helped me was named Corey — quiet, younger guy with a bunch of tatts. I really liked him. He was honest and gave me a more than fair estimate for my front end paint. He also returned my car to me in a timely manner, as promised! I think that he understood how much my car means to me and he made an extra effort to get the job done on time!
Folks have asked me if I’d recommend this shop and all I can say is — for the price, you simply cannot beat these guys (quoted me more than $ 1K less than the other guys) BUT if you are looking for show-​quality work or are particular about paint flaws, you might want to keep looking elsewhere.
Speaking of price, when I picked up my car, my mom inquired (with a different guy) about how much it’d cost to paint a 4 runner (the whole car) and he quoted her a minimum of $ 2K which I thought was a bit steep. Shrugs*
