REVIEW FOR Caliber Collision, 5252 Lovelock St, San Diego 92110 Our car (2014 Nissan Xterra Pro 4X) had an argument with a post in a parking lot. Even with no injuries, you know how stressful it can be, what with dealing with an insurance company, rental car, and worrying that something will inevitably go wrong. But we did not have to worry, because repairs were expertly done, and more quickly than originally promised. We were treated like royalty by everyone. Service advisor David Perez-Lopez is highly knowledgeable, communicated daily about how repairs were going (in fact, I never ONCE had to call their office). Best of all, he made sure that repairs were absolutely perfect. Then he returned our car to us earlier than promised, and looking beautiful - washed and shiny clean, inside and out -- it looked almost detailed! So, thank you to Christina, Beth (office manager), Daniel, and everyone in the service bay who touched our beloved 4X. I hope we will never need your services ever again, but when - LOL - we do, we will be back to Caliber on Lovelock Street. read more

I've taken my car to Caliber Collision in Bay Park multiple times, but my second experience was absolutely unacceptable and has ensured I won't be going back. When I picked up my car, the bumper was visibly misaligned -- it wasn't flush and clearly looked off. I pointed this out to the representative, Marcos, who asked me not to mention it during pick-up and promised they'd take care of it when I brought the car back the following week. That was the first red flag. Rather than doing the right thing and documenting the issue on the spot, he swept it under the rug. They did agree to take the car back and try to fix it, but the results were still terrible. The bumper never looked right, and it was clear the repair was poorly done. Even worse, they tried to deflect responsibility by blaming a damaged license plate -- from the same accident they were supposed to be fixing. It was a flimsy excuse and showed they were more interested in avoiding accountability than actually fixing the issue. The most frustrating part? The original issue and follow-up work were never documented, meaning I had no formal record of what was promised. This is unacceptable business practice. Caliber Collision Bay Park does NOT stand by their work. Instead, they make excuses, deflect blame, and hope you won't notice the problems until it's too late. If you choose to go here, get everything in writing, inspect every inch of your car before accepting it, and don't trust a single verbal promise. I gave them multiple chances to make this right. They failed every time. read more

Horrible customer service. Unprofessional,won't return calls, close at 5pm and throw says 530pm. Took my daughter's Corolla in for work after an accident didn't fix right the first time had to take it back. Just very unprofessional and vehicle repair knowledge is horrible. I won't be back what I get for listening to our insurance company. read more

Yes, they were very good and very professional. And they took care of me. I'm very pleased. I would refer them to my friends and family.

Amazing Job! Kudos to Ken. The quality of your work was excellent, it was fast and efficient, and I received updates from the time I dropped off my car until it was completed. I found the customer service to be excellent too. read more

This people are amazing. They made a new door to my beautiful BMW Z4. PERFECT! Staff is very gentle & professional. When you get in, the shop is clean and you can have a cup of coffee while waiting..... I really suggest them! read more

So accommodating. Amazing customer service. We had to change our schedule and had multiple different arrangements each time but they were always willing to help us. Special shout out to Adam from the Tanja family! read more

They get you there with an online estimate and then tell you once your car is there that it will be more.

Hello, I highly recommend caliber collision. They're very thorough and knowledgeable. They exceeded expectations when it comes to repairs. They are so busy because of their reputation to do a great job so patience is needed. read more

I want to make sure my absolutely horrid experience with this body shop is known. To fix the damage pictured (small area of paint) they had my car for 33 DAYS. Yes, 33 days. Plus, the car is now showing error codes that they are unable to fix! The car was dropped off on 12/23/21 with what was to be a 5-day repair. They said maybe a day or two longer since it was the holidays, which I said was fine. After a week no call, 2 weeks later, still no call, I started to get worried and called multiple times with them saying their staff was sick, they needed to order new emblems, then that they messed up the paint and had to repaint it, excuse after excuse for 33 days. Miguel should have made a far better effort of keeping me informed instead of me calling him to try and figure out what was wrong. After 33 days to fix this scratch, they said the car was ready (1/27/22). I went and picked it up, and they said that they also scanned the car to ensure there were no errors codes. As soon as I start the car, 2 error codes showed up, so either the guy scanning was clueless or just lied and didn't do it. I told Miguel this and he said to come back another day to drop off the car so their tech can look at it since the tech is not in all the time. I called multiple times and the tech wasn't there. Then they said they wanted me to drop off the car for a few hours, I needed my car and said that would not be possible. They would not provide a rental car. So the lady that works in the front office ( a blonde woman who had a snarky attitude with me over the phone to be frank) told me that I should call each day to see if the tech is there (ridiculous). Finally, today (4/1/22) I was able to take my car there. They said they needed about 30 minutes to reset the light. After an hour and 15 minutes of waiting, Miguel said that they couldn't fix it. Then, he told me to take MORE TIME from the hours I've wasted at this shop to go to the dealer and have them diagnose it. He then also told me it was a low voltage code and that the battery was weak. So then, I go and buy a $100 battery, and the code is still there. Caliber Collision has no main "customer support" line either. I tried calling multiple times and there is no way to get into contact with their corporate office. So now, my car has 2 dash lights that wont go away. Please AVOID this shop! I can't wait for them to post their generic copy & pasted "please email us to resolve this" BS response. read more

Caliber Collision - This is what took 33 days to fix. - Body Shops Near Me - San Diego, California

Caliber took GREAT care of my car, and I'd recommend this location specifically to anyone needing auto repairs. In particular, Junior was extremely competent and professional. The work done on my car is flawless. Beyond that though, he communicated with me the entire time to let me know exactly where we were in the process. The repairs took longer than it would have in pre-COVID times, due to supply chain issues in ordering the parts, and labor shortages. Those issues are affecting almost all businesses these days, but Junior did his best to get everyone done as quickly as possible, and kept me informed throughout, so there were no surprises. Junior also totally went above and beyond to work with the GEICO insurance adjuster to get additional repairs covered as well - at 5pm on a Friday!! He explained everything to the adjuster, and because he was so proactive, she approved the additional work right away. I'd recommend this Caliber location, and Junior specifically, to anyone needing auto repairs! read more

The customer service I received was great. They kept me informed all the time. I would recommend this shop.

It will be a year in 6 days and my vehicle is still unfinished. The service advisor who helped me, David Leyva, would continually refuse to return phone calls or emails. The only way I can contact him is to go in the shop and wait, sometimes up to 30 minutes. He would continually lie to me and to the Automobile Club of Southern California. Fortunately for me, I have excellent documentation of phone calls, emails and personal visits to show the level of incompetence and/or deceit. I finally had to file a complaint with the California Department of Insurance and am waiting to hear back. read more

Wish I could give this place 10 stars ! Everything about this place was awesome - staff , customer service , their work etc !!!! Got into a minor accident, this is the place Geico recommended they got me in the next day I was transported to and from enterprise they had everything ready for me within 3 days I am back in my car and everything looks as good as new ! read more

My car had been side swiped, and the repairs were taken care of right away. Consistent communication throughout the process helped me manage timeline expectations. When I went to pick the vehicle up, they noticed something that was cause for concern and decided to take extra precaution to keep it and make sure safety was prioritized. Junior was very communicative and patient. Overall very painless and smooth experience. read more

First, I know absolutely nothing about car repairs. In light of my lack of expertise, it makes the process for choosing an honest, high-quality collision shop a bit more stressful. After being referred by my insurance company to Caliber Collision and receiving a quote with a reasonable time frame that was in line with other competing body shops, I decided to go with CC. Throughout the process I received updates in a timely fashion and when there were any unforeseen issues Henry (the sales representative) notified me. The only issue was that the time for repairs did run over by 9 days, which was not something that I anticipated. However, I was informed why there was a delay (difficulty in securing the right parts) and provided with an accurate and revised time frame. Given the high level of service, the professionalism shown by Henry and his staff and the quality of the repairs I would rate CC at 5 stars despite this delay. Finally, I would come back to CC without hesitation for any future repairs. read more

I took my car in to fix a big scrape on my rear bumper. Everyone at Caliber was super nice and professional. My service advisor, David Leyva, was great to del with and very helpful. Great communication from David and my car was done a little earlier than promised! My bumper looks perfect! Thank you David and Caliber Collision! read more

I brought my car to the Caliber Collision location (5252 Lovelock St, San Diego) on 01/26/2023 for a bumper replacement. A week later, I was told that the car is ready for pickup. I went to the location and made the payment. When the car was brought to me, I noticed that the bumper was sticking out and was about to fall off. I informed the technician and after checking the car for ~30 mins, he informed me that they installed an "after-market" bumper which was not the correct size. I was told by the manager at that location to take my car and he would call to bring it back in the same week when the correct size bumper would arrive. It's been more than 2 months, I never received a call from them. I have called Caliber Collision several times myself and was NEVER able to get a hold of the manager. Until today March 26th (2 months later), I am still waiting on Caliber Collision to resolve this matter. The car is NOT useable because the bumper might fall off. read more

Javier is a liar! After multiple attempts to have my vehicle fixed and lies and excuses, I have to resort to this negative review. My drive cam has been unplugged twice on purpose to prevent me from seeing what they are up to. The alignment caused excessive tire wear and damage to to bearings, and all the have done is run me around! Terrible headache. Don't take your vehicle to them. Total hacks! read more

Adam and the entire Caliber Collision team took great care of my insurance claim of a few broken windows and some scratches on the paint. They were very timely with status updates and made sure I was well informed of the entire process. read more

I had the best experience at Caliber Collision! The service was outstandingly efficient & professional, their office clean and welcoming, complete with coffee, tea -- and fresh-popped popcorn! I was here last week with a claim from Geico, a minor hit & run with damage to my fuel tank lid. After a few positive phone conversations with Geico reps in the evening, I was set up with a car rental & appointment at Caliber Collision first thing the next morning, 7:30am. Perfect! I was concerned and expecting delays, you never know with this type of scenario how many other people would be waiting and how fast the process will take of checking in, doing the review of my car, etc. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't late for work! I arrived early, thought I'd step in to see if they'd possibly be ready for me, and within minutes I was approached by Rachael, the Geico rep, and then Jr, the Caliber Collision rep, and the process started. The entire time both Rachael & Jr communicated clearly, really listened and addressed my concerns. I asked Rachael some detailed questions about the claim, she was very diligent answering, making sure I understood everything completely. I felt completely taken care of! They definitely had my best interest at heart throughout, and to the end. The Enterprise rep, Kyle?, met with me immediately afterwards, had the car waiting and ready to go! Complete efficiency having all 3 under one roof, so easy, I just breezed through and was on my way! While my car was being worked on Rachael called to give me an update, and I spoke with her and Jr later in the day, to make sure I was in synch with how I wanted to proceed with the claim, as well as getting the body work done on my car that satisfied me. Both strived to make sure I felt good about my choices by giving me all possible options, while sharing their professional perspective regarding cost and condition of my car. In the end I felt I was given all the information they could provide and felt confident they gave me the best deal and best quality bodywork for my car. Thank you Rachael & Jr!! I give you both 6 stars! read more

I have brought in my own cars 3 different times. I also have recommended this shop to 2 good friends. All happy with their job. This rating would be a 5, if they didn't have an office manager (BETH). This women needs to go to finishing school, on how to treat people. The women, is a nasty attitude, and has a disposition about everything. I brought her a bottle of touch up paint that they gave me after my last job. When I finally opened it it was very clumpy paint. It was like the guy forgot to mix it, before he filled the bottle. I came in asking if they had any left, and if they could trade it out. The women hasn't smiled in her life. Her attitude is pure nasty. They never called me back like she promised. Beth figured out that when I called in to speak to the Gen. Manager, she said he was out for the day. Im sure she recognized the number and called me back. She was Short, and nasty attitude, where I lost my patience, and told her what I felt. Im sorry, this is what her attitude does. Where talking about a 1.00 item. Is this worth losing 3 GOOD customers. SHAME ON YOU BETH.................The Shops rating is 5, Beth's rating is 0...... read more

Jr and his team, Marco and Aldo, were absolutely amazing! Not only did they fix my bumper after a hit and run but they noticed some nicks and paint loss on the side panel from a previous accident and fixed it for free. Yes.. Free.... It's like a $3000 work, and that's an aluminum panel so not easy to work with. I couldn't believe it. Man, these guys are amazing! Jr was always kind, helpful and quick to give me updates on the status of my truck. I am honestly shocked they did that for me. I am so used to going to business where they try to shake as much money out of you as possible. Kindness feels good and I am thankful to Jr, Marco and Aldo for extending that to me. Respect to my brothers.... read more

Caliber Collision - Junior, Marco and Aldo are the best!!!! - Body Shops Near Me - San Diego, California

Good Points- the staff is very polite and the establishment is very clean. They take COVID protocols seriously. Bad points- they did not communicate with myself or my husband and they also didn't communicate with the insurance company. They had my car later than the date they said it would be done (not a big deal) HOWEVER, they didn't even call me on the day it was supposed to be done to tell me it would take longer. I had to call them daily right before closing for any updates. Because they didn't communicate with the insurance company, I had to return my rental and be out of a car. Also, other collision centers have cleaned both inside and outside the vehicle, caliber collision only detailed the outside. GREAT REPAIR THOUGH, just not great at communicating. read more

This Caliber Collision location consistently provides fantastic customer service. After my vehicle was damaged on the 5 by road debris, I was able to quickly get an appointment the day after Thanksgiving. David was both super professional and friendly. He conducted a thorough inspection of my vehicle and efficiently documented the damage. David could not have been more helpful in providing an overview of the next steps and his professional recommendations to repair the damage from the road debris. Absolutely exceptional customer service, highly recommend! read more

I was sent here from my insurance company because my car was hit while parked on the street. I filled out their intake papers online per their email. I wrote every detail of what was wrong with my vehicle from the accident. When i checked my vehicle in, I told the gentleman also every detail, the same at which was written in their online intake form. They had my car for a week. No big deal. I got a call on the Monday of the 2nd week. The guy said your car should be done by the end of the week. Never received a call. Week 3, no call so i call on that Friday morning. They said my car would be ready by 5pm, well i was working until 6pm & they close at 530pm. So the following Monday i go to pick it up. Visually everything looks good. I don't know that they didn't read their intake form or listen to me when i dropped it off. I go home, not far from the location. Next day, Tuesday I jump on the highway and boom my car feels like the wheel is about to fall off. This was written on my initial online intake form & told to the guy who checked me. I call. I spoke to someone who tells me he needs to speak to his manager and he would get right back to me. Crickets. The following day, Wednesday i call ALL day. No answer. No return calls. Thursday, today call 2x so far, still nothing. This is absolutely the worst customer service i have ever dealt with. DO NOT GO HERE. IF YOUR INSURANCE CO SENDS YOU HERE, ASK FOR ANOTHER LOCATION read more

Smooth, quick, reliable and highly recommended! Jr. and the staff there made a stressfull situation get handled with ease and was very tentative and informative with all my questions and inquiries.they even provide a shuttle to bring you home after you drop off. read more

I want to start this review by saying that I have been a Caliber customer for many years. It was my place to go if my vehicle was damaged. They had a shop manager there named Jim many years ago, he passed away but under his watch the service was amazing! I took my vehicle there Oct 2022, the damage was minimal. My service advisor Ken was nice at first meeting but that was about it. After I dropped off my vehicle he never once called me with any progress report even though he took my cell phone number down telling me he would. They would never tell me when the work would be done, every time I called it was excuse after excuse. It was someone was on vacation, wrong part was ordered, and the worst one...the technician who is supposed to reassemble my vehicle's door was out sick and only he could put it back together. And for anyone who reads this thinking I'm joking or embellishing, I am not! I couldn't believe it myself. I asked the manager Javier if he would cover half the cost of my rental because I was paying for a rental everyday that they delayed. He was so agreeable on the phone, of course we can do that he said. They had my vehicle for 18 days for a job that should've taken max 7-10days. Even after having my vehicle for so long the repair was not done well. I didn't notice at first but someone pointed out that the area they repaired had the texture of orange peel skin, it was bumpy not smooth. In the end, after all the patience I gave them, I was charged fully for 18 days of rental and Caliber never reimbursed me, although they said that they would send me gift cards in the mail. Last time I called to follow up they said the gift cards were in the mail...It's been 5 months and still no gift cards from Caliber. I will never give Caliber my business again. I found an amazing body shop called Crash Champions. Their customer service is amazing, Henry Rivas my service advisor sent me regular updates, was straight with me about any issues and even offered to drive my vehicle to me and return the rental when the job was done- that's 5 star worthy customer service. This is my new go to body shop, they are reliable, professional and the repair job was outstanding- you wouldn't be able to tell where the vehicle was damaged! read more

Im gonna have to give this shop a no star rating. Them being an insurance approved shop i was under the impression that my vehicle was in good hands but ohhhh was i in for a surprise. My vehicle needed extensive work done for some comprehensive damages and during the weeks of repair my completion date kept getting pushed back and back and back. And due to the shop extending my due date i ran out of rental coverage and at that point the shop refused to provide me with there own rental vehicle as they continued repairs. On pick up day the person handling my work called me and notified me that there was an issue with the repair and that i could take it home but would have to bring it back for more repairs because of the poor workmanship. So on pick up day turns out they didn't mount my new roof properly to the point where it was never secure to the body of the vehicle. and the front windshield was mounted poorly so air was coming in on the freeway and they scratched my rear glass to where it had to be completely replaced and they scratched my fenders and bumper and mounted my interior trimming bad. They left my car completely dirty of paint overspray inside and out. The damages keep going on and on. I got my vehicle back with more damages then it was turned in with. So 6 weeks without my vehicle to be presented with poor workmanship and delays. My vehicle had to be redone all over by a new shop. So a 6 week repair turned into 5 months without my vehicle. Never again will i take a vehicle of mine to that shop nor refer them to any friends. Stay clear of this shop folks!!! read more

Charlotte did an amazing job of communicating promptly and working with me while I was out of town. I really appreciate the attitudes of the people who work here. Everyone is kind and gets the job done :) read more

these guys are liars and full of it........dont go there unless u like to wast time......they over priced it and then lied even more......

Sergio and David just... "get it". They know how much it sucks to not have your car, they understand why customers like to be updated with friendly reminders, and they just honestly genuinely understand the important things in a mechanic-customer relationship. Communication was quick and interactions were refreshingly honest. They saved the insurance company money when they could and are just genuinely kind people! Would take my VW golf here again (hopefully I never have to though), 10/10 would recommend! read more

Had a great experience with this branch. Easy drop off received daily updates on the status of my vehicle. Less than a week turn around. Quick and painless. Gustavo Jr was very professional and made sure this process was smooth without any issues. Highly recommend this branch if you want to have your vehicle repaired without any issues. read more

My Jeep was recently broken into with the rear glass, support rods, and wiper motor destroyed. The staff at Caliber Collision at this location was very prompt and professional. Without question, they made sure I was getting the best deal possible resulting into nothing coming out of pocket and an amazon gift card, supporting those on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic. They took 1-2 days to complete the fix and kept me informed throughout the whole process via phone call and text. I had my Jeep returned to me cleaned and looking better than before. I haven't had customer service like this in a very long time. I barely create yelp reviews...the service was so great that I actually took the time to make one. Well deserved 5 star and highly recommended. read more

Absolute wonderful experience at Caliber In Bay Park. Great status, professional service and great work. Go and get treated right.

Brought my car in because I was rear ended on the freeway, and Junior took great care of me! The entire process was explained clearly and thoroughly, the repairs went great, and my car came back looking brand new! In addition, the front office was clean, organized, and had wonderful customer service - providing snacks and beverages for waiting customers. Seriously nothing but great things to say about this place; I definitely recommend. read more

Service on my car after an accident was very professional and performed well and on schedule. They were proactive about getting the parts that were needed on the delivery truck in order for work to be performed as soon as possible. And a nice surprise at the end when I got my car was how great it looked. It had been detailed and they even got the specific paint for my car and touched up the scratched areas. read more

Everyone was so nice and kept me totally informed through the whole process. Also they finished my car a week early and it was so clean I didn't recognize it! read more
