I heard about Al through my car Detailer after my bumper got smashed when parked. I couldn't be happier with the great job he did. He is definitely a master at what he does and very affordable!

Can u guess which piece was painted by the Bumper xpert?

The Bumper xpert (Alvaro) did a an amazing job. I have a 2004 land Rover Discovery, the paint match was perfect. Check out the photos, the paint was matched perfectly and it blends with the other panels like they wer never repainted. He is super knowledgeable and clearly has a passion for his craft. Great value, friendly service and quality work. I had him do my two bumper lower side panels, a smaller job that many other shops turned down. Will be back fory next project!

After the repair I went to the same exact location on where I got into the accident.

Exceptional service from start to finish! The team at Bumper Xpert went above and beyond in restoring my BMW 135i to its pre-accident condition. From their prompt communication to the flawless repair work, I couldn't be happier. They truly exceeded my expectations, and I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of auto collision repairs. If you meet Alvaro you be amazed how he takes pride on his work. Always want his customers to be happy and satisfied.

Al did a great job restoring the bumper. Looks brand new. Great pricing with quality work. I highly recommend his service.

I requested an estimate from a different business for some repair on my CLS. Although Alvaro wasn't the original business I requested a quote from, I'm really glad that he reached out to me. Not only did he have the best quote, but his work is top of the line. He's was great at scheduling quickly, and not only that, but he actually came to my house to pick up the car and take it to his shop, and then he dropped it off. You can't tell where the damage was other than, of course, the paint being shinier where the damage was, but that's expected since is new paint. I was planning on getting ceramic coating done soon, and now I will definitely schedule that with Alvaro as well soon. I highly recommend him and his shop if you are looking for quality work and not looking to break the bank. Thanks for the awesome work, Alvaro.

I can't say enough how awesome the service I received from Al on fixing my Toyota Camry. Al is a great magician who somehow made a major dent damage to my bumper disappear and look good as new....And at a reasonable price. He beat out 4 other quotes I received from other collision experts. Al seems to take pride in his work and makes sure his customers are satisfied with the results. The guy voluntarily gave me updates on my car by sending me pictures and messages...I was amazed by that. I highly recommend Bumper Xpert for your next repair. Al the owner will definitely take care of you. He'll be straight up with you and treat your car like it's his own. Thank you Bumper Xpert!

I am beyond impressed and pleased with the work Al did!! It's like my car was never damaged!! Al was so sweet, courteous and professional. From the very beginning, he handled me and my car perfectly. He was recommended to me, and I highly recommend him to anybody else! I was just blown away by his work!!

Before the repair see inner door hole and scrapped rocker panel from curb.

Al did an AMAZINGGGG job helping me fix my rocker panel repair from completely scraping a cement curb AND a hole from a previous "repair man" who thought they could get the dent out. He had the best pricing on the repair out of 4 auto body shops I went to. He also completed the repair in about 3 days and sent over lots of progress pictures along the way. Thanks to his help I was able to trade my vehicle in without the damage being an issue! So many thanks to Al again!!

Broken bumper and peeling clearing coat on the hood

Brought my car in after the bumper got damaged and Al did a great job painting the new bumper and fixing the clear coat peeling on the hood. Very fair pricing and a super fast turnaround time. Will definitely recommend him for any body work needs in the future!

Al did a great job! Will use him again!
Bill B.

Did a great job! I highly recommend! Came to his shop and he was on it. Great guy and service!

Jose is the best painter I have seen in San Diego for the price range he is in, honestly some so call name brand shop will charge double of Metrix charges you, and job is not even better. give Jose a try !!!

Didn't realize that the…read moreprevious owner of the bumper cut off about an inch and a half of material from each corner of the bumper, destroying the outboard tabs. Metrix completely rebuilt the corners and made the bumper look like new. They took their time with making sure the fitment was as close to OEM as possible and they did not disappoint. See the pictures for yourself. (Don't mind the lip, I told them to just fix the cracks and not to paint it. Also, the car is 18 years old with oxidized white paint. It'd be almost impossible to color match the bumper to the rest of the car.) The turnaround time of about 2 weeks wasn't bad considering that they're a small, low-key shop, and the amount of work needed to get the bumper to fit right. Take my word for it, they did an amazing job. Thanks again, Jose!

I heard subtle sound and as I pulled off to the next exit my stomach sank seeing the damage. I quickly drove back home and contacted my friend that has a clear bra shop and he recommended Mark at Philip Thearles Autowerks. I got Marks number and gave him a call. He really helped me through the whole process and made me feel much more comfortable then what I was anticipating. Mark answered all my questions and gave me everything for the next step. Truly this was the best person to handle my situation since I do not trust really anyone. This car has been with me for 10 years and it holds a special place for me. I never dealt with this before on such an expensive vehicle. Fast forward Mark was kind enough to pick up the car, send me the estimate all within a few hours before the end of the day. He also had the bumper(main damaged area) off and checked to asses any other damage that could not be seen. He submitted everything to the insurance and I really did not have to do anything other than a phone call to my insurance and a couple emails. Following the next week the parts were ordered since the approval was done. I got text and picture updates of everything that was happening. I really appreciated this as I like to document the whole process. You really can tell Mark and his shop care about customer service and making you feel at ease. What I can say about the final end of the repair since a new bumper had to be ordered and repainted in Lava Orange. It looks like nothing happened! It looks better than Brand new. The paint matches exactly the rest of the car. Another thing that I was a bit worried but as you can see in some of the photos, you cannot tell the difference. When the car was ready I got a nice tour of the huge facility that is state of the art and they are Porsche certified! I am truly thankful for Mark and the shop getting this done within less than a month. I really do appreciate the whole process. No one wants to go through this but Philip Thearles Autowerks is the place to go for your automobile repairs / body shop.
