I had a great experience with Autobahn in Costa Mesa! Phil was easy to communicate with, gave an honest quote and did a great job in one week repairing my Land Rover. I got a quote from the dealer three times the amount and needed three weeks to repair. Thankful for finding Autobahn so I didn't have the inconvenience of renting our rental car longer than necessary. Would definitely recommend! read more

See all

My experience with Autobahn and Phil started after a body shop in Anaheim had spent two half years trying to fix my car after an accident but instead trashed my 1971Corvette. The repair job was so bad Hagerty had to have Phil at Autobahn start the project all over again. Phil stripped the car of the recently done paint job. He did an awesome job stripping the car and preparing the car for paint. They painted the car and put all back together. Phil and Autobahn did an outstanding job painting my car and restoring it. They were able to do all this work in a reasonable time period. I highly recommend them to do body and paint work on your car. I'm elated with the way my car turned out and how it looks. read more

I went in for a quote for some minor paint issues from a previous paint job. Phil was the person who looked at the car. To start, he seems very uninterested and everything I asked, he stated it will be very expensive. I appreciate the honesty, but wow, what a way to deter a customer. I just wanted some of the body parts resprayed but he could not give me a quote on the sport which is fair. Just wanted to provide feedback on my experience with this body shop. I did not feel like he wanted to help. Taking my business elsewhere. read more

I started going to autobahn at the recommendation of a dear friend, who has been taking his cars to Phil for many, many years. Phil is truly the greatest. I've taken four cars to this shop, and they have always done phenomenal work. (Three Toyotas and one Acura) It's quite a chore to have to deal with repairs, bodywork, etc... however working with Phil was a lovely experience. He's honest, kind, the prices are very reasonable, and he is straightforward and direct. Btw- Those who work at his shop are exceptional as well! Five stars. read more

They were awesome!!! Great quality and friendly service and good price. I totally recommend them.

I was referred to Phil by my dear friend who takes his car to Braubus and it was one of the best referrals. Called the office and front staff was accommodating and gave me options that day to come in to have an estimate done by Phil. Upon arrival, I waited maybe 5 minutes and Phil was able to look at the car and said he would be able to provide an estimate by end of day. He came highly recommended so I felt comfortable leaving my car on site. Before end of the day I got the estimate and he said he could have the car back to within a week. He followed through with his timelines and delivered the car pristine and washed and waxed. The body work and paint job was flawless on my Tesla Model X. Thank you so much Phil and Autobanh. read more

I went here to get a new rear bumper for my 1994 corvette and they were able to find a brand new bumper with a perfect fitment and did an amazing job with the paint matching. I would definitely recommend this place for any other corvette owners since they specialize in fiberglass parts. read more

If you're looking for perfection I'd look no further. These guys restore some of the finest automobiles out there their work and craftsmanship is impeccable!! I've had them paint my M6 and also detail it absolutely stunning I would highly recommend Autobahn and Phil to anyone looking to restore or just simply paint their car. read more

The quality of excellent work at Autobahn AutoBody is a 10 out of a 10! Phil and all the employees are very professional and possess great talent in restoring cars over the years. Their work is by far the best in the business, and they have never disappointed me in quality, attention to detail, and overall customer service. My 1961 190SL was given to the Autobahn AutoBody team literally in shambles, pieces beyond repair. After a very timely and reasonably length of restoration time, the final results were far above any expectations I thought possible. They took exceptional craftsmanship to the highest level imaginable. Kudos to the whole team at Autobahn AutoBody! read more

Great Family Friendly environment and wonderful assistant as soon as you get there. whatever cosmetic work you need, they'll do it and they do it best! read more

I am so impressed with this shop and Phil the owner. I had someone back into my 61 Corvette and was referred to Autobahn for their fiberglass skills. The recommendation was spot on as while only my passenger side fender was damaged Phil and his team not only did a perfect job of repairing the damage and blending paint they also shot a coat of clear over the entire front clip of the car! It looks like my entire car just got painted in spite of the paint job being 25 years old. These guys are AWESOME! read more

Excellent service. Brought my truck very happy that I did. Phil was professional and took great care of my truck. Highly recommended!!! read more

Autobahn Autobody - 69 Ford Bronco - Auto Repair Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Job: Rear bumper, BMW 535i Pros: Paint is clean, matches well. The bumper damage was not so severe, but as representing attorney, they fought insurance at fault to get me a brand new bumper. Although I have not visually inspected myself, (I will soon when I have the time), I think the damages underneath the bumper was properly fixed. Rear sensor seem to work fine. Cons: 1) When I first came in, they would not give me a straight answer in dollars for an estimate. I politely asked several times. Mr. Sanchez was not openly friendly and explicit to the type of work that would needed to be done. 2) Their detailing job is mediocre. I do a better job myself. I believe I brought the vehicle in cleaner than it had left. There was polish that had not been completely brushed off the rear bumper. 3) You can see marks in the rear side panel from removing the damaged rear bumper. 4) Their communication is lacking. I had called several times to follow up on the status of my vehicle. They had my vehicle in possession for over 1 week. 5) When I had just received my vehicle, I inspected the trunk and noticed screws missing from the internal side covers. There was a lot of gunk (smelled like glue) in the screw holes, as if they were trying to hide the missing screws. Mr. Sanchez insured me that it was my hand sanitizer that made a mess. I highly doubt that and believe he lied directly in front of me. 6) He had insured me the missing screws would be replaced. He took my car, drove it to the back of the shop and replaced it. He tried to carry on as if everything was okay and resolved. I reinspected the new screws and noticed they were completely different from the original manufacture screws. I told him and had described what they look like. He said he would order the OEM screws and call me. I had come back a few days later to find the screws he gathered were the wrong size. He told me again he would order new screws.... It has been over 2 weeks and I have not heard from him. 7) A few days after I had received my vehicle, I noticed an expensive bottle of cologne missing from my glove compartment. I know they were in my glove compartment because they left an empty bottle of touch up paint there. I had left my cologne in the glove compartment everyday for the past 2 years. It has been two weeks since I noticed it missing and has not been found. I have looked everywhere and gave them the benefit of the doubt that it might show up. At this point I am certain they have stolen it. Who knows what kind of minimum wage sweat shop labor they have in the back. Conclusion: I'm not out to get people, honestly trying to give people especially small family companies the benefit of the doubt. Being truthful, I was left believing; 1) They conduct business as if the only thing they are interested in is your money. They walked away with $2700 for a fairly simple & common rear bumper job. 2) They have little to no regards to detail such as missing screws. 3) They didn't care much to recovering items they have misplaced such as missing screws. 4) I honestly believe I was a victim of theft. To me, this is unacceptable and completely unethical. I see this place as having very little integrity. I can't recommend this place at all. I wish I did more research and asked more people. read more

I have used Autobahn over the years whenever I've had any accident damage to my cars. Recently I took my vehicle in for work on both sides, however due to confusion over an old quotation in the system, they ended up repairing something that didn't really need fixing. My wife picked up the car, so she didn't know that what was supposed to have been fixed wasn't, and she drove the car away. When I returned home several weeks later I saw that the dents still hadn't been fixed. i went back to the store and pointed this out to Phil Sanchez, the owner. Once he looked into the problem and saw how they'd pulled an old quote, he did the right thing and fixed the dents without any further delay or charges. From time to time everyone is going to make a mistake. What matters is how you deal with it. They did the right thing. You can't ask for more than that. They even gave the car a complete polish. read more

Took my Porsche into Autobahn to repaint a few areas to fix what another auto body shop messed up. They did a perfect repaint and finished on the date they stated. I originally spoke with Phil the owner a great guy. After picking up my Porsche I got a quote to repainted our Audi Q7's rear bumper where we got some scratches at a valet parking at a LA Airport hotel. Just picked it up today and once again a perfect job marching our paint perfectly. I hope not to need to have any future repairs but if I do I'll go directly to Autobahn again. All the employees I met were great. Thanks Phil. read more

Words cannot describe how amazing this auto shop is in regards to customer service, communication, openness, authenticity, and overall kindness. There are very few places I'd consider amazing businesses but Phil must be an amazing Boss because across all staff, everyone was so consistently kind and helpful. The mechanics gave me their left over touch up paint just out of their good will... and how the F did my car come out looking NEWER than it went in? I'm grateful from the bottom of my heart as this car was my dream car and got into an accident even before I could make my first payment. And I'm kind of glad it did... because I literally walked out of the shop with a brand new Cayman S read more

"Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence." Vince Lombardi Autobahn has always performed with excellence. As much as anyone dislikes having to repair paint or panel damage, it's comforting to know that a professional high end shop exists for minor and major repairs as well as complete restorations. read more

Terrible service, terrible work. I had my 2010 BMW 328xi painted here after a slight fender bender. Less than 6 months and the paint is already a mess. Tried calling multiple times and now they won't return my calls. Body work is to expensive to take it somewhere where they don't take pride in their work. Your remedy when they do a bod job is court. A huge headache. Do yourself a favor and avoid this shop at all costs. read more

I came here after having a bad experience at some other body shop which was just unreasonable and shady. Boy, was I relieved to do business with someone like Phil. I also decided to use their services because they have been in business for like 20+ years... When I went to their shop I saw alot of high-end cars. Their shop isn't fancy, but the work they turn out is definitely TOP OF THE LINE. Phil provided exceptional customer service. Their pricing was reasonable - no hassle, no fuss! He was totally straightforward and seemed trustworthy. They guarantee their work, including color matching! (most shops don't guarantee color). There were a few hick-ups along the way, but Phil took care of them without any hesitation. Part of the repair included a detail, wow my car looks fantastic! Lets just say they exceeded my expectations and that is hard to do! I would definitely recommend Autobahn Autobody. read more

My BMW is twelve years old, and the front and rear bumpers looked every bit their age. Autobahn Autobody turned back the clock and made them look brand new, somehow with reconditioning and not replacement. Their price was fair. Phil, the owner, seems like an honest craftsman. Best of all, when they returned my car, to my surprise and delight I found they had washed and waxed the exterior and detail-cleaned the interior...free of charge. Their only miss was taking two days longer than expected. But all in all, I'm super satisfied and hope to have them work more magic on my car. read more

I was rear ended in my 1989 Corvette and I chose this body shop over some others (including McJacks Corvette) based on reviews and their work on exotic and classic cars. I checked my car during the process of repair and found it out in the parking lot with the back facia off for repairs and repainting. I noticed small scrapes on the edge of the body where the back facia was taken off and Phil reassured me it would be "buffed out". It was later. When I received the car I noticed the rear view camera was scraped up and Phil said that would be polished out. The rearview camera was not working due to a wire being disconnected and they reconnected it when I left it for awhile longer. Also, when I got home and checked out the repaired/repainted area more thoroughly, I noticed a lot of high and low areas that had not been "feathered" properly. I returned the car and Phil said that there was a lot of "product" on the bumper from a previous repair and it needed further preparation and repainting on the bottom half. So back in the shop for a week. The bumper facia had been repaired previously (about 4 years before) and they (Miracle Collision) had done a great job, but they are no longer in business. They did polish the rearview camera, but some superficial damage remained. So after two sessions of repair here, my car finally appears to be done right. I prefer my cars be repaired right the first time. I guess the "B team" was assigned to repair my car. The staff are nice and helpful. read more

My classic car had some fender and electrical damage after being involved in a small fire. Following the suggestion from the insurance company I had Autobahn fix it. After two months they competed the repairs. The fender/paint looked good. The work to put it back together was substandard at best. I did not notice it at first but when I got home I noted the battery box was put in wrong, the seat was not installed in the correct position, the steering column was rubbing the exhaust manifold, the leather interior was dirty with hand prints, the shift boot was not attached to the floor, etc. I cannot recommend this place. read more

This place has saved me several times. If you have never been here and hope they do a good job on your car, wait till you see what kind of cars they restore and repair . Cars you only dream of . Once I saw the classic and luxury cars they fix I knew my Honda was going to be a piece of cake for them. Their service great and on time and have been very happy each time with every car I have brought . They were recommended by a friend who takes a lot of amazing cars to him. Phil is the best and is very helpful and welcoming . Once a nail punctured so far into my tire that it made a groove in my rim so a new tire at the tire shop could not create a seal. So I had to find a place that would fix my rim instead of spending a thousand dollars to get a new one . I though my of Autobahn and they fixed it quick for a very low price and I was set. This place has saved my cars and you can totally trust them. Bring your car here even if you have to drive far. read more

Worst customer service. I went in to get a quote on a bumper damage. The manager just brushed me off and told me that he's busy and promised to call me with an estimate. He never called. I called and he tells me to bring the car back again if I want an estimate. read more

Took my boss to get his Porsche bumper repainted (an inch scratch). They made it look like new :) read more

I dropped my car off at Autobahn after being rear ended. Phil was professional, courteous, and provided great customer service to work with my insurance company and keep me informed during the process. I picked up the car yesterday and it looks brand new- I am thrilled! read more

Great place to get your car looking like new again! I've been to Autobahn twice, once for my car (Lexus IS250) and a second time for my girlfriend's car (Mitsubishi Eclipse). Both times the job was done on time and at a fair price. Even now that I moved to NorCal, I tell all my friends about Autobahn when they need body work done. They also do an amazing job detailing your car! read more

I have 2 girls, wife and mother in law. They all drive and park like it was their first time. They have all used autobahn and I pay the bills! Autobahn has treated us fair with timely completion. This last accident my daughter had an issue with insurance responding, their staff helped to get our claim paid and took the burden of contacting them. They went way above what I expected. Good job on the paint and body work too. read more

I took my BMW here for some minor repair. I'm very picky about my car so I was a bit apprehensive to take it anywhere. My car was fixed beautifully and earlier than quoted. When I picked up the car it was polished and looked perfect. Not an easy job on a black car. I recommend this shop and am bringing my Daughters car here soon. read more

I took my car to Autobahn at the recommendation of Hitch Crafters after my toe hitch ripped large holes out of the floor of my car where it had been attached ( it had not been installed by the guys at Hitch Crafters). I just picked up my car one day earlier than expected, cleaner inside and out, with the holes in the floor fixed beautifully. And for half the price quoted to me by another local and highly rated shop. I'm very happy with this business. read more

My family and I have been customers for as long as I can remember. They do great quality work and they are very friendly and willing to work with you on your estimate. Every time I've had to come to the shop I've been very pleased with my experience. My cars are always coming back looking brand new. I highly recommend this shop!!! read more

Love this place!! My car was involved in a hit & run and I had it towed here. Not only did they make my car look brand new again, they handled all communication my insurance and the other driver's insurance. Saved me 2 headaches! read more

RARELY, does anything meet my expectation level on any front...... That said, I was introduced to Autobahn Autobody some 20 years ago on a unique and difficult paint issue on an all aluminum body. Not only did they solve the situation it ended up being better then the factory representative thought that it could ever be based on his prior experiences. The above said I have repeatedly, turned over very difficult assignments that I ultimately thought that there would be a battle over only to have them "Get It Right The First Time"....Every Time. So, now that I live in Palm Springs CA which is no easy hike to get to Autobahn, I still take any and all to them even if it means booking a hotel until they are through "Working Their MAGIC"!!!. If the above is not enough for you, understand that their promises, ARE NOT FOLLOWED UP WITH EXCUSES, as to why they could not do it. Which would be my advice to you.... JUST DO IT ! read more

I had the opportunity to complete a Post Repair Inspection on a vehicle that was repaired at Autobahn Autobody. The repair were completed in a timely manor and to GM standards and requirements. I would recommend Autobahn Autobody to anyone needing collision repairs and thanks to Phillip and staff for a job well done. Rocco J. Avellini Wreck Check Car Scan Centers read more

Great Auto body shop. I met Megan at Autobahn in Costa Mesa and she is great! I appreciate an autobody shop that takes care of not just collision repair, but also all mechanical repairs and auto detailing. They are worth checking out to get a quote to have your vehicle restored, detailed, or a simple auto repair. Truly great people - a family owned business. read more

I've had two repairs done here. Honest, good work, good price, done in time. I would not hesitate to go back here.

The people out there are amazing.. I hit my car at university parking and my bumper goes off. I bought that car really cheap for my school and doesn't want to spend too much money to fix the bumper.. they fixed my bumper without letting me buy a new bumper and they did it for me with no cost.. I think that's the most amazing thing since I'm a student and can not spend too much money.. they fix my car for free.. read more

Wonderful, efficient, and professional work!! #1 BODY SHOP! I brought my Lexus IS300 for some paint work and I am blown away at how FLAWLESS my car is. It looks fresh from the dealership. They even detailed my car for me! Two thumbs up! read more

My experience here was excellent! Everything was done on time and I understood the whole procedure very clearly. Besides, the work done through my insurance, I had a few other things taken care of that I paid for out of pocket...it was very reasonable and although my car is a 1998, its looks great! There were no hassles and they were quite the gentlemen. I hope to not have to come back due to any misfortune, but I would definitely recommend them. read more

I have taken my two BMW's and Mercedez Benz in for work. I can't tell you how happy I was with the work. Beautiful work, great paint match, and they went beyond the call of duty on my MBZ . . . they not only repainted my passenger door, but took it upon themselves to fix some scratches on the rear door . . . on their dime, not mine. On all 3 occasions, they estimated one costs and came in below or at the same rate. I have no reason to go anywhere else ever again. Jeff T. Aliso Viejo read more
