This was a candy coated radiator hose cover
Jesse H.

I wish I would've read the reviews before taking my car to this place. Elio seem nice at first promising that my car was going to come out show quality. I was referred to him by a friend who worked with him. I had brought in my 1973 Ford mustang in August 2009. No it's 2020. Till this day he Has given me nothing but false promises in my car is almost ready. He finished the candy paint job in 2012, Did not know how to rebuild the car. He lost most of the car parts and used some of my parts to use them on other cars he was fixing. The paint has started to crack and not to mention the chrome on the motor, rims and trim have been damaged. Do not trust this man, he is a crook, a liar, and a thief. I made the mistake of paying him Upfront before he finished the vehicle. Now I am out $7500 and nothing to show for a car that looks like junk.

How my interior was left
Keylee G.

SUPER SUPER SUPER disappointed with this unprofessional body shop. I was recommended through a friend who has been going to this body shop for years and knows Elio personally. Took my vehicle to get estimated here to see how much the cost to repair the vehicle would be and at first everything was fine but I should have known better. Elio was too nice.. and everything was verbal, he said he would not charge me storage fees and would "help" me with the estimate so that the insurance could that there really was a lot of damage on the vehicle because my vehicle was clearly a total loss. That was not the case. In the end when my insurance decided it was not a total loss, Elio turned out to be his true self and was very aggressive with his tone when I told him that I would not be fixing my car here and with everything he told me verbally that he would not charge well in the end he did. He was holding my vehicle hostage until I payed the $1,100 in storage fees that he said he wouldn't charge me. When the tow truck came to pick up my vehicle and take it to another body shop, these UNPROFESSIONAL INCONSIDERATE people just stuffed all my vehicle parts INSIDE my car and ruined my interior! Now guess who has to pay to get new interior when I return my lease, me. So please if you're reading this make sure you look for other body shops and if you do decide on this body shop make sure everything is in writing.

This is the dent before the repair. A decent size scratch with a dent , the bumper was pulling away from the car.

Jose is the owner of this company. He contacted me on Yelp after I inquired about mobile dent repair. I live in Santa Clarita, the quotes I received in this area are more than double his prices while most of them did not offer painting unless they replaced the entire bumper. So I called around outside the San Fernando valley and towards the LA area, knowing that the prices were going to be a lot lower than Santa Clarita and Santa Fernando valley areas. And sure enough Jose at Diamond Coats was not the only one with lower prices but he was one of the very few with high ratings. After he realized that I lived over an hour away from his main office location. I suggested to have him meet me halfway, to my clients residence where I would be working there for the day. Jose and his nephew repaired the dent on my vehicle. They showed up on time and communicated with me as to their arrival time. It was really windy that day. My client suggested that he parked my car into the garage and work on it. They were quick and very professional, the job turned out perfect! I highly recommend Diamond Coats! They exercise thorough communication, honesty and they're very dependable!

My experience with Diamond Coats was excellent. Elio was so informative and upfront about the whole body repair and paint job process. My wife's car looks like it just rolled off the showroom floor despite being 20 years old. I highly recommend you take your business here. You won't be disappointed with the quality and at an extremely fair price.

'67 chevelle Malibu restored to perfection

Diamond Coats and Elio's service friendly team, defininitely took care of the accident that happened on my '67 Chevelle. I should have had the car painted 6 years ago by Elio, because of his honest workmanship and quality. But, I thought the better deal somewhere else would have worked... and It did not. Elio assessed the overall repairs and damage on our car, and we both had a plan to get the car back to it's original custom color, with quality repairs and good communication in the midst of a pandemic. I learned in this positive experience that it is best not to rush a craftsman to get the job done right. I would reccommend DC to any clasic car enthusiast, that you will definitely like the results of the careful professional way Elio will restore your classic car for years to come.

Diamond Coats made the van look like new

Danny and his Crew did a great job painting our 2005 Sprinter Van. He was friendly and helpful when it came to all the "little" details. The quality of the work AND paint are first rate. Thank you !

Dragging tailpipe- I was hit hard I can't believe there was not more damage done

PLEASE READ: I was involved in a hit and and run at a stop sign and I didn't have comprehensive collision on my car and because they fled the scene the insurance wouldn't pay. It was very stressful getting quotes all that I couldn't afford right away. My sister had been in an accident with her car and highly recommend Diamond Coats so I went on Yelp and read the reviews and was impressed so I decided to go see Elio. What a straight up Guy So kind. He helped me save money straight away because I was going to order the bumper online but because of my Pearl White it wouldn't have matched . He ordered my bumper for me at a better price and custom matched my bumper to match the rest of the car because my car is a 2008 and the sun has faded the paint some . He gave me such a great deal I was shocked! A third of the price I was quoted at the 2 other shops that were recommended to me. 3 months of waiting for a new bumper and Elio and his guys got me taken care of within 3 days . He even touched up some scratches all around my car for free I so grateful and happy and blessed. Thank you Diamond Coats what a great experience!

After....this photo they sent to me just before they washed it to get it ready for me
Armando C.

Took my vehicle in after I had a crash and less than a week later my car looked like nothing had ever happen to it. Costumer service was the best it was so easy to get info from the personal. They actually called me a couple of times just let me know in what stage of the process my car was in. Hopefully I will never need damages fixed on my car but again but if I do I'm coming back to them.

See all

I had a wonderful experience at CAL Auto Service, thanks to Bryan…read more I needed the crossbars for my roof rack installed before my upcoming move. Since it was right before the Fourth of July holiday, I knew they were extremely busy and already had a full schedule. When I explained that I was moving next week and was on a tight timeline, Bryan went out of his way to fit me into his schedule, even though he was very busy. He installed my crossbars professionally and charged me a very fair price. I truly appreciated his kindness, flexibility, and excellent customer service. The waiting area was also clean and comfortable, with complimentary coffee and snacks, which made the experience even better. If I had known about CAL Auto Service sooner, I would have come here for my vehicle repairs as well. I highly recommend this shop to anyone looking for honest, friendly, and reliable service. Thank you, Bryan!

A Japanese car, truck, van -- needs to be treated with TLC. Most Japanese cars, if you treat them…read moreright with regular maintenance, will give you a long and beautiful life. But the ones serviced at Cal Auto Service don't just live the longest -- they're the happiest. People wonder, "How does your Toyota/Lexus/Subaru/Honda/Acura last so long?" Simple: it was serviced and taken care of by Peter, Brian, and the rest of the team at Cal Auto. This spotless, comfortable shop in Santa Ana, Orange County redefines what a mechanic should be. The owners and employees treat every Japanese car like their own -- doesn't matter the age, the tech, whether it's fully loaded or stripped down. You feel like the world's top surgeons and the world's greatest detectives are working on your car, making sure it leaves better than new. The consistency is the cherry on top. You'd think, "I'm only getting this treatment because it's my first visit." Nope. It's white-glove service every single time. Spotless bathrooms. Water, hot coffee, snacks. A waiting area that's actually comfortable. This place makes the dealership service center -- or any third-party mechanic -- feel out of vogue. Like Latin: a dead language. And there's total transparency. A full, honest explanation of what's working and what's not. This isn't the dentist who tells you your mouth is full of cavities because he wants to drill his way into your wallet when nothing's actually wrong. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" is how Cal Auto rolls. They'll give you honest recommendations and an accurate forecast of what your vehicle has ahead of it. And if you just want an oil change and nothing more -- they listen, and that's exactly what you get, with the proper care your car still deserves. And if you're still not sold -- Cal Auto uses only the best OEM parts for your vehicle. They will never, ever bolt on some knockoff third-party Amazon part or rig your car up like Frankenstein's monster just to get it sparking and running. This review is based on 15 visits over four years. I always felt assured that my vehicle and my wife's were in the best hands -- from routine oil changes to actual car emergencies. They never wasted my time, and never wasted theirs. Every question gets a real, thorough answer. I drive 45 minutes from Los Angeles -- a city where mechanics are a dime a dozen -- just to go to Cal Auto. And honestly, anyone in Southern California -- San Diego, Orange County, LA, even up to Santa Barbara -- should be making that drive too. That's the price of admission if you want the holy grail of auto shops. A true diamond in the rough.
