David and his brother run an awesome shop here! 2M has been a staple in the BMW aftermarket scene for quite some time, especially in San Diego and SoCal. They do great bodywork and make some fantastic builds for people. These guys love what they do. Specifically, I knew of them from being in the BMW scene locally here in San Diego. I had some lady hit my car and nearly rip off the front bumper in a parking lot. They were very accommodating and painted my new bumper with perfect factory paint matching. It looks amazing and I couldn't be more pleased. If you need bodywork anywhere in the San Diego area for a BMW, don't hesitate to give them a call. If you need specialty work like; creating a M3 wagon, widebody, etc - they have tons of experience with that as well and you should reach out even if you aren't very local. read more

2M Autowerks - My car after 2M installed new bumper. - Body Shops Near Me - Vista, California

I took my E92 BMW M3 to my usual shop to get a JL Motoring carbon fiber front lip installed and when they did a test fit of it the fitment was not great, so I called JL Motoring to ask them about it and they recommended I take it to 2M Autowerks. I scheduled an appointment to take it in and they did a phenomenal job with getting it installed quickly and with great fitment! I am super pleased with how good it looks! They charge a very fair price and and the quality of work is great. I will definitely be going back for any other auto body work I need done. read more

I was very disappointed! I will NEVER go back! The only reason I am writing this review is that today reviews are weighed heavily in selecting a company. I went there around 3 years ago They worked me on the whole transaction, let this be enough said. Generally, I don't fill out these reviews, I JUST DON'T COME BACK! But, I consider this a public service. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Honestly, I'm happy with the work done by David and Richard. I got quoted for a fair price with the type of paint job I wanted for my body kit. They were fast and efficient even though they were moving location next week. I appreciate the fact that it's a family business. read more

Horrible just horrible business ethics. I reached out to these people to get a quote for some body and paint work on an E46 wagon. They also advertise to sell body parts for E46 Fender made from fiber glass. A guy name David sent me a quote for the whole build including body work, paint and some mechanical work on 04-19-20. His price came extremely higher than other places I had already spoken to for the same work. He assured me His paint work is one of the best and he uses special paint and materials. He also mentioned the fiber glass fenders which he manufactures are better than metal Ones. I had no experience with the FRP materials. I did not agree for them to the work due to high cost but I decided to order one fiber glass fender which they are still advertise on their website (05-29-20). The parts description is E46 SEDAN/TOURING M3 FRONT FENDERS (PAIR) $800.00 There are sold also sold on another website. I received a text from the owner of the shop few minutes after I placed an order and paid for asking if it was me who ordered the parts and as soon as he found out that was me he said he is not making the parts no more and he has to remove them from his website. This was 05-09-20. He apologized and promised he would refund my money. He then asked whether if I am going with him for the full build. I told him I had spoken to some other shops and their pricing were much lower than 2M Autoweks. He asked me which shop and I told him. He held on to my money I paid for the fenders that later he claimed he did not have For over a week. This was after when I told him I would not use his service for my body and paint work. Now I have realized talready reached to the other shop which After I told David that I can not afford his high price and mentioned the name of the other shop that I am going with (to be transparent) he sounded very understating and specifically said "no hard feelings" as he is extremely busy and did not need my project. I reached out to the other shop and in my surprise they mentioned David had reached out to them and told them I offered him more money which is higher than what this other shop has initially quoted me. They are basically turning my job down telling Me I should go back to 2MAutoweks. What a pity that if decided not to hire 2M Autoweks and all they did sent me a quote on the internet since I don't even live in California they made sure no one else would do my project either. Not sure what to believe, them wishing me luck and saying they had no issues with me going with some other body and paint shop or them calling the other shop and fabricate some stories as if you restricted to pay and agree with 2M Autoweks contact which would probably take few minutes to prepare the estimate. These people are not good. Stay away. read more

I don't usually write reviews on Yelp, but felt compelled to in this situation. I brought my 2016 BMW 535i here for basic brake and rotor maintenance about a month ago. I supplied them with all the parts. These guys aren't mechanics! They have a third party guy who uses the shop for repairs. They over torqued all my lugs and stripped several of them. I had to bring my car to the BMW dealership in order for them to cut the lugs off. Wasted an entire day. I tried contacting 2M Autowerks via phone and Facebook with no avail. They've read my messages on Facebook but decided not to respond. Now they're just avoiding my messages and phone calls. Crazy unprofessional. MY 2 CENTS: Stay FAR AWAY from these guys if you're looking for basic maintenance or mechanic work. If anything, at most, they're only a body shop. read more

David and crew are always very helpful and do excellent work!! Highly recommend them for body,paint and mechanical services

Definitely want to thank the 2M crew again! Especially to both David and Richard, for busting their tails, getting a 3 piece areo kit from Oettinger paint matched, buffed, installed with quality execution!! Even took the time to install an updated hood pin set for my carbon hood setup (Quik-Latch mini QL-25), followed every step to the letter with these newly released QL-38 Quik-Latches, and just like the aero kit install, flawless installation and craftsmanship!! Highly recommend 2M Autowerks, as they're a one stop shop for any body work and install project you throw at them. Just made another deposit of the next 'side' project, Oettinger side skirts to be paint matched and installed next week, will continue going to 2M as long as I live in SoCal. read more

Was told to bring the car back to fix the improperly re-installed bumper and witness the condition in which they gave my car back to me. He told me to bring the car in at noon. I said I'd be a waiter and he said that's fine and that they weren't busy. I showed up. I also showed him the dirt still on my car and all the smear marks where they ground in the dirt when they washed my car the night before (in almost total darkness). I told him it needs to be polished out and I would do the wax. His response was "I'll talk to my guy," which is his way of blowing me off. He then got irritated and told me it would be 4 hours! So like an idiot, I bit the bullet and went for a jog and ate at Dennys. I came back 3 hrs and 45 min later and my car had not moved. No kidding. I then waited in the reception area for another 15 minutes cause no one is ever there (as stated in another review). He then comes out with a drink and his lunch and says "oh sorry, my guys gonna take a look at it right now." He then sat at his desk facing me, doing something on his computer and ate his lunch. I could see now that I was getting the proverbial middle finger. 15 min later the worker said it's done, went and looked at it and they f-ed up my car by trying to raise the tail light and ended up chipping the very end corner of my bumper, possibly by trying to use some kind of pry tool to raise up the headlight while tightening back down the set screws. Note that this chip was exactly 7 inches away from the scratch I had them fix in the first place. Of course the guy then said "we can't take account for that" and immediately just walked off. His brother then came out, I told him that the bumper now needs a repaint and he blew me off as well. I checked Yelp before I took my $39,000 new car there (4664 miles) and dismissed the negative reviews because they have some good ones as well. Holy Jesus Christ on a bicycle, was I wrong. I gave up my battle, and they didn't charge anything, but now I got my car back in worse condition than I presented it to them in. I'm writing all this because I believe in Yelp and believe in helping other car enthusiasts like me with nice cars. My car is show worthy, believe me (only 500 out there). I had an uneasy feeling from day 1, when they didn't look over my car at all when I initially dropped it off. At good shops, they look over your entire car very carefully to note any current damage or flaws, which 2M doesn't do. Also at 2M, they do written quotes that are literally 1 sentence long with a basic header and no warnings or disclosures. It is not itemized like good, legally organized and legitimate shops. That is extremely shady and legally to their advantage. Think about it. And they don't even defend themselves on Yelp. I witnessed 2 of their friends show up in BMW's and shoot the crap on a Friday afternoon and seriously think a lot of the 5 star reviews on here are bs. I've been there 4 times for 1 scratch. Their floors are dirty, bathroom especially nasty. I took a leak all four occasions I was there in over a 2 week period and I noticed they never had any toilet paper. They must like to unclog toilets when people wipe their ass with paper towels and don't want any female clients either. All this is called a clue, showing you that they will shit all over you and stand there and tell you how good you look in brown. Like Robert B. said in his review... stay away from 2M. Not only do they have very low standards, they also don't seem to care. And that pretty much sums it up. read more

This shop is great, very friendly and accommodating. They don't at all make you feel rushed and there's seemingly no job too big or too small for them. Thank you for your service, I'll definitely be back whenever I need your services. read more

Have my BMW service this morning and I cannot say enough about how much I enjoy professionalism. Very punctual and accountable. My car today require the removal of my headlights and it was done in about 1.5 hour and the installer took time telling me the process. In the past they have painted my bumper, eye lids, hood, and skirts. Always top notch w/ customer service and affordable/competitive pricing. We def need to support local business like this! read more

2M Autowerks - Business Card - Body Shops Near Me - Vista, California

Bravo TWO ///M these guys are good. 2 brothers run and operate this business and sure know what they are doing. Referred by my friend that had his commercial van worked on, i liked what they did and was pleased with the quality. I brought in my 3 series to have an m3 bumper painted, then installed. The price was right and geez the QUALITY is on point. Good work 2m . read more

Wanted to leave an outstanding review for the guys over here at 2m Autowerks. Honest, reliable and extremely talented shop. Much thanks to david and the team for installing my coilovers, and also for painting/installing my GTS hood. You can really tell the quality put into the prep work and paint on the hood as the paint matches OEM and is buttery smooth. Being bmw enthusiasts themselves, (see davids e46), I can say this is the shop to trust for your bodywork/paint needs and part installs. Thanks again 2M Autowerks, another loyal customer. read more

Awesome shop, definitely recommend taking your car here for any performance mods, installs, body work, painting they can handle it all. Top notch work, fair pricing, quick turnaround, and great guys. They are true enthusiasts and gear heads and it shows. Check them out you won't be disappointed. read more

2M Autobody was a pleasure to work with. I gave them a call and informed them of my vehicles situation. They gave me a verbal estimate to give me a ballpark and asked me to come to their shop for a better estimate. Once I arrived, I realized their shop was neat and well appointed. They took a look at my vehicle (Audi S4 Avant) and gave me a reasonable quote for repair work. They scheduled my vehicle for the following week. About a week later, they let me know when I should return to pickup my car. When I arrived they had fully cleaned the car. I left with a smile on my face and what appeared to be a new car! Thanks so much 2M !! read more

This place was the most unorganized place. car was still in pieces when they said it would be done. Wired mirrors up wrong. Chipped painted a month later. This place is ran very poorly. However they did a good job on fixing the fiberglass repair on a piece of my car. Here is a quote from a friend about their work ". I thought you painted it yourself. I would have went back and throat punched whoever called that a professional paint job. The car is gone but yeah the front was chipping bad and had I knew you had a shop do it I would have said something but if you do it yourself you can expect that." Don't go there! read more

I had 2M paint and install an aftermarket front lip spoiler and rear trunk spoiler on my car. My car is a very rare color and is very hard to color match. 2M did a great job of making sure the parts were the right color, and installed properly. They even fixed a small fitment issue caused by a poorly made part so that everything looked perfect. Note, they are not an earl schieb or maaco that just pounds out paint jobs as fast as possible. They're a small, family-owned shop that takes their time to make sure each job is done correctly. So, don't expect to show up and get everything done in 2 hours. Perfection takes time. read more

Thanks to Richard and crew for helping me install my spoiler. It stayed on. Great and friendly service. Hope to do business again.

A hit and run accident led me to this auto body shop. I filed my insurance claim, and based on what I heard about their work through my BMW mechanic, decided to take my check to them. 2M's pricing was so much more reasonable than the other shops I spoke to, and the owners were 100% upfront and honest. They also gave me the option to choose the paint materials to suit my needs and budget. Because I didn't want mismatched paint, I opted to pay extra to get the entire car painted. The finish looks like glass. A+ work. I also had them repair a few door dings, and paint my factory wheels. They're super easy to deal with, and obviously good at what they do. Turns out they also offer all sorts of aftermarket parts including wheels, suspension and exhausts, so I'll definitely be working with them in the future. read more

Reffered by my neighbor, David helped me get my family van lookin brand new after a fender bender I was in about a year ago. My insurance didn't want to cover the damage and I was about ready to put out of pocket. They gave me a quote and it was exactly what I paid when it was all done and ready. The guys at two M are definatley honest and easy to work with. The quality is on point and I would use them again if I had to. read more

Just bought a new 650i, and I knew of 2m through a friend of mine. Decided I wanted to put a front lip and rear spoiler, and paint the trim. David and brent took great care of me, they took the time to explain all my options. I told them I only had about four days before I took off out of town. Brent went up to LA to pick up the parts the next day and they started working on the car the day after. Very professional guys who have a passion for working on cars. Couldn't be happier with their work. Paint on the trim looks great and the work on the body is great. The guys even stayed late to finish up the installation. Picked the car up at 9:30pm. Great guys who do great work read more

A very reputable and honest auto body shop. These guys do top-notch work at a fraction of what others are charging in San Diego. 2M Auto Body has painted several items for me. I've been impressed each time. If you're looking for an honest, family-owned business, this is one of the first places I'd look. read more

2M was referred to me by a friend of a friend named Khoa when I needed some parts to be painted on my old Acura RSX. I stopped by some time around January 2010 when they were barely setting up shop at their location, but they were still able to provide excellent service. I believe it was David who helped me out and guided me through the whole process. He never kept me out of the loop and always kept me updated through phone call, text, and email; laying out a time table and sending me pics of the soon-to-be finished product. Everything was flawless and better than I had expected. It's great to see other positive reviews on their business because their work is that awesome. Even though my review is from the past, it just goes to show that a good impression can last a lifetime. I will definitely have my next car worked on by 2M in the future. Kudos! read more

2M Autowerks - Old pic David sent me of my finished hood. - Body Shops Near Me - Vista, California

Great, reliable, affordable; attentive, genuinely caring employees. I brought my Lexus into 2M Auto Body in June 2011 to repair some front end damage from a collision. I was very impressed with the attentiveness of the service technician and with the overall communication from the facility. I received periodic emails including pictures of the damage found during dis-assembly and descriptions of what work was being done, including revised estimated completion dates. When I got my car back, the quality of the body work and paint were both excellent. I would definately recommend 2M Auto Body to my family and friends and will be back for future services. Keep up the good work, guys! read more

I would like to thank David and his crew for helping me with my adaptive headlight problem on my 335d. I was thinking something major went wrong with it and I needed a new headlight or level senor but their Mechanic had it figured out in less than 30 mins. Great service, thanks a lot 2m read more

Great shop was very quick to reply same day to all my questions early this morning. Had some fitting issue with an aftermarket front brace and was quickly modified(drilled) cleaning. Thanks again will definitely use them in the future read more

Good, honest guys and a quick turnaround. They don't skip on the quality of their work and their attention to detail is spot on. I got a CSL Trunk painted and installed and a CSL front bumper painted by them for my E46 M3. Color match was on point. Awesome shop, highly recommended. read more

I had to bring my car here to get a dent and a scratch fixed. The car shop I go to referred me to these guys. Since these guys were only a couple blocks away, I've decided why not right? The shop is right by Miramar Road where Group 5 Motorsport used to be. It's pretty easy to find. There is no front side parking so you have to pull into the side towards the back of the shop.. You could probably also park by the curb. The inside of the shop looks clean and professional. All the guys seem pretty cool. When I came to pick up my car, they did a really good job making the damaged side look as good as new. So you're probably wondering why I'm only giving them 3 stars. Well I'll explain why.. Originally, I came here to get my big dent fixed. That part only took a week so no big deal. Then I decided to also get the large scratch on my quarter panel fixed. David gave me a sweet deal and took a couple hundred off to get it fixed. So I said okay let's do it! Everything went downhill from there... David said my car would probably be finished next week. So I planned accordingly to my busy schedule. I also asked him to see if there are any other very noticeable damages anywhere else on the car that could also be fixed. I asked him to call me back next week about that, but he never called back. So the following week (week 2) I called on Tuesday, and Brent said my car would be finished earliest on Friday that same week but most likely will be finished next week. So the same week I called on Friday to get an update. I called probably a dozen times and wondered why no one was picking up the phone. I got a little frustrated and decided to drive up there and little did I know, they were closed that day. The following Monday, I called again to see if I can get an update. They explained to me that they went to a car show on Friday. Okay that's cool, but why tell me my car might be done on Friday when you're going to attend an event? It doesn't make sense, so I wasted my time and gas (borrowing a large truck) to drive from North Park to Miramar. So anyways, they said my car would be done sometime this week (week 3). I didn't even give them a call back until Thursday. I talked to Richard that day and said they would work overtime to finish my car and that I could swing by around 6 - 6:30pm. So I drove to Miramar around 6pm and right before I turned on the street, I got a phone call from him. He says they won't be able to get it finished that day and they'll work on it tomorrow because they have other priority projects going on. By that time I was really pist off because I wasted my time and gas driving up to Miramar. Now it's going to take me an hour or more to get home due to southbound traffic. That's terrible communication to your customers. He could have at least called me earlier to tell me that my car won't be finished before I drive up there on the time he told me to arrive. The following day, I finally got my car back. I noticed that they didn't clean the car and was still dirty after they buffered it. They explained to me that the reason why my car took so long is because they were prepping up for a car show coming up soon somewhere in LA. Okay cool I get it, but luckily I was borrowing a beater truck from someone else instead of having a rental. It would have been a pain in the ass to have to keep asking the rental car company to extend the days for the rental car if I went that route. It would have been better if someone would have told me that my car will take several weeks to finish due to priority projects that need to be finished. That's really all that needed to be said, and I would've been totally okay with it so that way I can schedule accordingly. The work they did on my car was very good. The guys who work here are nice and honest. I got a good deal on my quarter panel. I'm not sure if I would come back though. I really want to like this place, but the service I received was unforgiving. If I do come back to get work done on my car, I won't expect anything to be done on time and will try to have a more flexible schedule. read more

I brought my car in last week with a rear valance to be painted and installed. The customer service was fantastic and accommodating and their work top notch. It looks like a factory bit that came with the car. I'll most definitely be doing additional work with 2M, close, convenient, and professional! read more

This place rocks!! david at 2M Autowerks helped me with getting my car up to par.

Just ordered intake stacks for my e46 m3 & this was one of the best purchasing experiences I have ever made. Great price and a painless transaction. David made sure I had everything I needed & kept me updated at every step. 10/10 would refer them to anyone. read more

Best Body shop in San Diego, appreciate for their nice attitude, friendly place, and clean work shop. HIGHLY recommend :)

Thanks Khris, David, and Richard for painting/installing my M-Tech II on my 325i!! Yall did a great job!!! I need to get my hood repainted so I am def coming back to them!!!!!!! Keep up the good work!!!!! read more

I was sick a few months ago and was in the hospital. I came out and saw they hit my baby when it was parked. After the insurance gave me a check to get it fixed; I took it to 2M because I know they do the best work in town for a good price. I dropped off my M3 pieces that needed to be painted on Monday night at 5pm. Richard was the one painting my car and they told me it would be done around Friday. San Diego has a huge storm and it wasn't ready then. I called everyday to check the status. On Tuesday the following week my baby's parts were painted and ready to be installed. At first, inside the garage the paint didn't seem to match that well. It looked a lot lighter to me. Once they put it in the sun I was in shock. The paint was the best I have ever seen! The metallic flake of my titanium silver looked creamier and shiner than brand new. I soon got sad again because now I needed to paint the whole car. The amount of detail put into this paint job and TLC made this my permanent shop in San Diego. They also went the extra mile and touched up some bad spots on my exterior. Richard and David are master craftsmen. I feel like I should have paid more for the work I received. I'm now ready to put my sexy E46 M3 in cleanest car competitions. If your in love with your car like I am. Only take it to them! read more

Excellent work always turning out from this shop. They helped with installing my car's front lip and did a great job.

The 2M Autowerks family are the best in the business! Plain and simple! After having work done at LTMW a "well known" body shop in LA, I was very pissed off with the quality of the work they had done and I just regretted ever taking my car to there. Luckily I came across 2M Autowerks! David, Richard and his whole team are the real deal! I wish I would of known about them earlier. Here's a quick list of work they have done: OEM M-Sport Front Bumper, OEM M-Sports Side Skirts, Replica M3 Rear (paint and the quality of the install was perfect) Custom Exhaust, LCI Taillights, Drilled/Slotted Rotors, KW V3 Coilover Suspension. OEM M3 Steering Wheel, Custom Painted Forgestar F14 Wheels + much more. Bottom line is that as a customer you know and feel that they are taking care of your car as if it was one of their own. I recommend this place to anyone that wants any work on their car done! Thank you 2M Autowerks! read more

As the saying goes.."you get what you pay for" I won't take my car anywhere else but 2M Auto Body. They have the best body shop in San Diego! The prices are amazing especially since they guarantee their work! My Honda was broken into and the replaced parts made my car look brand new, shiny and attractive. It was also the best rate out of all other shops. The two brothers are the most knowledgeable and helpful car care specialists around! Thank you 2M! read more

Took awhile to get my rotors and pads ordered. They're a little vague on appointment times which is understandable based on all the flakes in San Diego. I showed up with an unconfirmed appointment and they couldn't work on my car. Brent accomodated me by sending my car to another shop for the brake job. I got a great deal on my rotors and pads so I'm not complaining. Good group of guys with a lot of no bs realistic ideas. I will definitely be back for more upgrades! As I was there, Brent did a great job in service recovery with a customer. read more

Great, honest people and they do great work. Thank you Brent and David for taking care of my GF's car.
