I should have left this 5 STAR review the last time I took my vehicle here for repairs. The customer service that I got from the girl in the front desk to my service adjuster (James Norman) was far beyond the best! James Norman, my advisor was very detailed and very professional handling my claim with Allstate insurance. He made sure that I got the most out of my claim making sure that I got all brand new OEM factory parts to get my car back to its factory condition. He actually called around looking for dealers where they had promotions going to get the best price on OEM parts. James, gave me updates from time to time during the time my car got taken into the facility. The workmanship at this repair shop has always been flawless. No droopy paint, no paint over spray and all the nuts and screws were put back like how it was. After getting the car back, the car was detailed from the interior to the exterior. Everything was so clean and PERFECT! I would only and always come here to this Crash Champions location! read more

I'm the biggest fan of Crash Champions and will not take my car anywhere else for body repairs!! My 2022 Honda civic sport touring is my baby and they take the best care of her. I took her to crash champions after a utility ladder fell off a truck right in front of me on the freeway, and again after getting rear ended. Service is great, quick, fair pricing, and they clean it sooooo well. I don't know how they do it. I look forward to picking up my car. Also very easy to use enterprise rental being able to drop off the car there and get a shuttle otherwise. Would recommend!! read more

In June 2025, I was rear ended on the freeway in a very serious accident. I went to Sterling BMW in Newport Beach, where I purchased the car and it was put into the body shop for evaluation. I was not told that Sterling collision center had been sold to crash champions. The email correspondence started at Sterling BMW and ended was Crash Champions. My car should've been totaled. It was a 2000 BMW X3. It didn't look that bad but after it was fixed for the next year, I put over $10,000 in repairs on the car before I sold it as quickly as I could having to disclose the accident. Before the accident it was in perfect condition with only 60,000 miles on it. Most of the repairs had to do with things that were cracked or leaking, which is extremely unusual for a BMW with any amount of miles. I was told it was from an accident. The second horrible thing about this whole nightmare was I was told it would take three months to fix, and it took until the end of September to get my car back which never ran the same again. It seemed fine at first, but things kept breaking. Crash Champions (Bell Ave in Tustin said they couldn't find the parts to repair it and would have to use used parts. I made some calls and found the parts for them new and they said that it was out of the area that they ordered parts from. The last straw was when they said they had no date when I could get my car back because they couldn't find the parts they were unavailable. I found them myself. The contact was James Norman who was very nice but full of excuses and apologies. The most horrible experience of my life. I felt like I was in a Third World country plus recovering from injuries. read more

Everything went great! James worked hard to accommodate all of our body shop requests. The front desk staff members were helpful and friendly. We are very happy with the job finish and quality. Thank you! read more

Total scammers! Extended repair time. Double charged insurance, tried to double charge me. Poor quality job!!! Bumper wasn't centered, interior had paint on it, overspray on wheel well, & not wiped clean. Sloppy job, & horrible service. Reporting to bbnb read more

I had my vehicle serviced here, and it was a terrible experience. When I got home about an hour away, I realized the coolant was low even though they claimed to have inspected the car before giving it back. They blamed Newport Porsche since that dealership handles coolant, but they should have checked it themselves. I ended up having to get my car towed back to the shop because of their mistake. On top of that, when I arrived to pick it up, I noticed the rear bumper wasn't installed correctly, which took another hour and a half to fix. Sean the GM and Robert were professional, but the quality control here is awful. If I hadn't caught these issues, my engine could have been seriously damaged. I wouldn't trust this shop with my car again. read more

My brand new Volvo EX40 was damaged unexpectedly by a falling item in my garage, I had only had it for 8 days. There were two dents at 3 and 4 inches long in both driver and back passenger doors. I came ups on Sterling through a strong recommendation of a friend. I worked with Paula, who clearly knows how to assess damage and the different ways her team can repair issues like mine. She assessed the vehicle quickly and offered me options thar made sense to me, both logically and financially. Her confidence in the workmanship of her team was spot on as they did an amazing job repairing and cleaning up my car to look just like it did when I picked it up off the lot. They are a busy team but nice my car was dropped off. The repairs were complete in less than 48 hours and for a reasonable cost. In my discussion with Paula upon pickup, I found the culture of Sterling to be family focused as many of the team were either related or had become like family over their many years of service. This kind of workmanship, attention to detail and family-like team makes Sterling a place to come back to. I am so happy with the service and the quality of work that I will come back again I and would highly recommend to others that need repair work. read more

I took my Jeep to Crash Champions due to a car accident. I dealt with Advisor Paula, she was so knowledgeable, kind, patient,& always kept me updated on the progress of my repairs. She went above and beyond to make sure I was satisfied and happy. Kudos to everyone who works there , it takes a village to make a business successful! I highly recommend Crash Champions! 100/100!!!! read more

Crash Champions in Stanton was fantastic. They did a super job on my Cadillac. It looked like new when they were finished. It took about 2 weeks after the accident for everything to be finished. read more

I had to come here when I got into an accident. I was referred here by Sterling BMW in Newport Beach. I am not about to go to no third-party. I wanted a shop that's going to give me a real deal body parts. My car needed paint, a new bumper, amongst other things. This was completed in just over 2 weeks. I am not mad at the wait- perfection takes time. Robert is a great service advisor. He is very friendly and helpful. He helped make the process seamless. They were also very responsive to me when I would call to ask for updates. The front desk gal is also a pleasure to deal with. Customer service here is A+++++++++++ I cannot say that about many places these days. They also have Enterprise nearby. They helped me with pick up and drop off between the two locations. I would 100% come here again, hopefully I do not have to though. read more

I brought my car into this shop and was immediately welcomed by Vanessa. I was in the process of filing a claim through Tesla Insurance, which turned out to be a frustrating and drawn-out experience. My vehicle ended up being in the shop for three months due to delays and lack of follow-through on Tesla's end. Throughout the entire process, Vanessa kept me consistently updated and went out of her way to advocate on my behalf with Tesla. As a nurse manager, I can confidently say that if Vanessa were in healthcare, I would've hired her on the spot. Her dedication, professionalism, and genuine care for customers are rare qualities these days. The team is incredibly lucky to have her--truly outstanding service! read more

This review is long overdue. After an accident last year, I took my Kia Stinger here to get fixed. My service advisor was Paula and she was exceptional at keeping me informed and updated throughout the weeks-long process. Sterling did excellent work on my car and got everything back to the way it was prior to the accident. Fast forward to a year later, my wife and I purchased a slightly used Porsche 911 from a local dealership and had their team do a quick pre-purchase inspection. The business co-owner Ray and their manager, Sean, went out of their way to help us out and gave us the confidence we needed to finalize the vehicle purchase. I can't say enough great things about this business and the amazing people that work there. read more

Getting rear-ended is never fun, but the idea of slogging through the insurance headache and the eternal threat of subpar parts ("like kindness/quality" never is, fighting for OEM parts etc) was what I was truly dreading. After moving to Orange County, my former shop is 2+ hours away so I did a little research and soon found Sterling Collision Center. My service coordinator is Brian Rivera, and I found him to be easy to work with, he is very knowledgeable and helpful. I'll be honest: it wasn't "an easy wait"... but that's not their fault. The guy who hit me was underinsured and unresponsive; once we ironed out that detail Brian was able to intercede with all of the insurance matters. My car came back to me looking like nothing had ever happened, and with 100% OEM parts. Sterling gets a gold star from me! read more

We cannot say enough good things about James! James kept us up-to-date on the entire process, and worked well with our insurance company. It is awesome to work with someone who is this focused on customer service and satisfaction. James is a fantastic asset to Sterling Collision and we cannot emphasize enough how helpful he was. The quality and workmanship at Sterling is top tier. We highly recommend this shop to anyone who needs repair! read more

I've been a Porsche owner for over 30 years, spanning race cars, personal vehicles, and now my incredible Porsche Macan S. Throughout that time, I've encountered my fair share of service experiences--but none have matched the professionalism, communication, and dedication I received from Robert Anya at Sterling Collision. From start to finish, their attention to detail and commitment to quality exceeded expectations. They went above and beyond to ensure my Macan S's damaged passenger rear door and panel were restored to perfection, making the process seamless and reassuring. Their transparency, responsiveness, and expertise set a new standard for what exceptional service should be. Sterling Collision has earned my trust, and thanks to Robert I wouldn't hesitate to return or recommend them to fellow enthusiasts. If you're looking for a service manager who treats every repair with precision and care, look no further. Ted Butch read more

The car dealer was a nightmare to deal with but thankfully they moved my car to Sterling for the body work and repair of my rear hatch and bumper. The dealer overcharged on parts, gave HORRIBLE customer service throughout the 2 1/2 months it took to fix my car. In comes James Norman from Sterling to the rescue! He was so helpful, informative and responsive throughout the process and turned a very trying situation from the dealer into a pleasant experience with Sterling. He helped with the insurance and dealing with the car dealership. I would highly recommend them if you need your car repaired and ask for James! read more

Brian and team at Sterling are top notch, just one look at the wall in the lobby indicates their level of expertise and quality of work. Factory trained by all the major high end automotive manufacturers, and the output shows. My car came back looking better than new! read more

Dealt with James on my potential vehicle repair, and was impressed with his accessibility, thoroughness and professionalism!

The only person worth anything is the lady at the front desk. I feel sorry for her she gets 5 stars. it's the person named BRIAN who gets 0 stars,he never got back to me in 2 weeks ended up taking my car elsewhere! Save your time and money go somewhere else where they don't ignore you. read more

You never want to have to go to an auto collision center - but life happens. I can honestly say that if you have BMW or high end sports car or exotic, there is only one place in Orange County to take it. that is Sterling. Both the owner and James, my Client Advisor were great to work with and the work itself was spot on. read more

Paula provided excellent service and kept us well-informed throughout the repair process. We are so happy with repairs of our vehicle! Highly recommend!" read more

Went in for a quote with James who was so helpful and resourceful. Highly recommend James for any collision advising and servicing!

Scam warning. Everyone be careful. Scam. They quote low then start adding cost. Then when finish they just add on cost waiting to see if customer say anything. Total scam read more

After a minor incident with my new Porsche, I learned that not all high end collision company's are alike. Of course, we all expect a high quality result from a body shop specializing in exotic autos...and most can deliver. However, I discovered many of the high end body shops are quietly bound by structured manufacturer partnership agreements. Specifically, there are instances where cars can appear to be 'over repaired' based on process guidelines established within the partnerships for those that hold official certification status. My Porsche was towed to a reputable, Porsche certified, body shop. The diagnosis was a damaged radiator and replacing a couple panels. The first rough estimate was ~$10,000, but the final estimate was over $36,000. It was my understanding the huge difference was the manufacturer's rigid guideline to replace a number non-damaged panels. I was told this was the only way a certified shop would do the work. My insurance company was very upset about the size of the estimate. We needed to find someone else, but time was being wasted. I got involved. I visited, and quickly ruled out. the small and medium sized shops...felt too sketchy. When I went to other top tier shops, they all seemed to be part of the same manufacturer 'cartel'... and would not consider looking at altering my estimate. Until, I hit the jackpot finding SSR COLLISION. They are a top tier provider, but also so connected and knowledgable while providing a highly skilled team of creative problem solvers. I received a perfect repair for $20,000 less! Some of that insurance savings is surely coming back to me based on how the insurance company reacted to the solution I found. Do yourself a huge favor and contact Richard, the GM, at SSR Collision for the loving care your car deserves, without distractions that may not be in your best interest. read more

I would like to say that Sterling Collision did a great job fixing the bumper on my M3. My advisor was Brian, who communicated everything to me in a timely manner. The process was explained in detail, the car was delivered to me on time, and washed and cleaned too. The workmanship was excellent and my bumper looked fantastic. I didn't have to wait when I was there, they were professional and friendly. I would definitely recommend Sterling Collision Center for your needs. Thank You, Brian. Tracey P read more

Sterling Collision has been the only body shop I have utilized for well over 30 years now (long before the company even became "Sterling Collision" from "Sea Breeze Collision" if I'm not mistaken). In my experience Ray has only overseen high quality work and complete customer satisfaction. Most recently I had the pleasure of working through James Norman, who to no surprise carries on this company's legacy. Thank you Ray ***** Thank you Norman ***** read more

My experience with Ray at Sterling was seamless from start to finish. I am very happy with the quality of the body work performed on my Audi. I received it in better condition than when I purchased it. read more

Just picked up my car from Sterling Collision Center in Tustin. The quality of their work is unmatched. Over the top fantasic. My customer service rep was Vanessa Carbajal, and I don't think I've ever had a better experience. Vanessa was very communicative and detailed, and took great care of me. I've worked with (unfortunately!) Sterling in the past and I can't say enough good things about them. Michael G read more

I was recently re-ended by a full size pickup on my Porsche 911. James Norman was my Client Advisor. He keep me full apprised of what was going on and made a unpleasant situation into a great experience. I would highly recommend them as the work they do is amazing. You would never be able to tell the car was in an accident. read more

Had my car repaired here 2 years ago... There were a handful of issues I noticed when I received my car after 4 months in the shop. Leaking differential, paint runs, missing fasteners. As I maintained my car, I noticed additional issues like incorrectly installed wheel liners which caused noises that took months to figure out. Most recently, I noticed the wheel that was subletted for repaint is actually not the exact OEM color. Needless to say, I'm pissed off 2 years later. Don't be fooled by their bs marketing, repairing Lambos and Bentleys. The guys doing the repairs don't actually give a sh about your car if it ain't a Lambo. The rep I communicated with was alright though. That was the only half decent experience. Be warned, go somewhere else. read more
