Before.  It was looking pretty bad before I took it to Scheib.
Pete T.

My 2001 Corvette has only 70,000 original miles, but its original paint was starting to look pretty ratty. No self respecting Corvette should suffer such humiliation. I wanted my car to look nice again, but I didn't want to spend thousands of dollars to do it. I went to see Mike at Scheib in El Cajon. He was up front and honest. He explained the three levels of paint service that they offer, the difference between them and what they would cost. I opted for level two - Platinum- and handed over my keys. I dropped the car on a Tuesday and Mike told me that it would be finished on the following Thursday or Friday. I received the call on Friday. My car was ready for pick up. Wow! It looks great! It far exceeded my expectations and under $1000! This is not the "I'll paint any car for $99.95!" Earl Scheib that you might remember. This is quality painting at an affordable price. My 'Vette is once again fun to drive! It is like having a new car.

Wow, I'm still speechless. My car went in looking horrible and came out looking brand new it only took a day too! Mike and Joe and the rest of the crew are the best! They truly love what they do and work with you to make sure it all falls in your budget. Paid less than $1,000 for this, which was the best deal I could find in SD. If you're looking for a paint job that will look great and cost less, this is the place! Thank you guys again referring lots of people here.

I recently bought one of my dream cars. A 1970 Cadillac Coupe Deville. Previous owner canned it flat black. Also had a couple dents, dings, and rust spots. First thing I wanted to do was to fix the body and paint to preserve the natural beauty of the caddy. Mike and Joe were awesome. Please note, they make your vehicle look pretty this is by no means a 10k paint job and they express this many times. Mike made the quote process very easy I showed him everything I wanted fixed and he had a quote for me in 5 mins. Best thing is he showed me options and not just the expensive one. Right then and there he earned my business Joe the owner met with me when it was all done I was satisfied with it all and he pointed out a couple things his team never caught and he personally fixed it himself had me out the door in 15 mins! Again not a 10k paint job but for a rider she is perfect! first photo is rattle second is gloss black!

Oxidation engine hood
Trent S.

My brand new 2012 Toyota Tacoma was only five years old when the roof of the cab had the paint and clear coat start to oxidize. Needless to say I was mad. I started to notice it was pretty common among my truck model. Two years later the oxidation was horrible and spread to my engine hood. It made my truck look bad. After doing lots of research and evaluation my budget I decided to bring my truck to Scheib. I choose to get my whole truck painted, same color, and choose the Diamond package. I have to say I am extremely happy with the results. My truck looks brand new, such an improvement. In the time since I have had it painted I have many family, friends neighbors and coworkers say how great it looks.

Went to a few shops in the National City/Chula Vista area for quotes. We ended up liking a quote from Zooks in National City. A few days prior to dropping off the car, a friend begs me not to because Zooks in National City messed up her car. So here I go on another hunt for a paint shop. I run across this Earl Scheib and talk to Joe, he says to bring the car in he can look at Zooks quote and help us out. In the end, he didn't beat Zooks quote but came very close. There was 0 sales pushing and straight up honesty. He showed us some of the cars he's done and explained that he doesn't paint to factory standards so it won't be perfect. They tape off stuff and get it as close to perfect as possible but there will be some blemishes here and there. We understood and decided to drop off our car anyway. The roof was getting bad with oxidation so we really wanted to get it paint to save the exterior. We dropped it off on Tuesday of last week and picked it up today (Tuesday of this week). Mike took care of drop off and pick up as well as payment. Both Mike & Joe were really honest and great people to work with and talk to. The price was significantly less than some of the other local shops. It's not perfect, but it's close enough for us and the experience was easy. Definitely worth it and I'm glad we went to this one rather than any other shop.

Before

I installed a body kit on my car and just simply wanted it painted 1 color. I brought it here and they turned it around the next day. Some easily fixable overspray but other than that the paint is amazing

They made a stressful situation much easier by keeping me informed, answering all my questions, and making sure everything was handled properly. The customer service was excellent from start to finish, and I really appreciated how professional and straightforward Ricardo was with me. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers and the quality of their work. I would absolutely recommend World Auto Body to anyone needing collision repair. Thanks again to Ricardo and the entire crew for taking such good care of me and my Outback.

I had been getting quotes here and there around San Diego but never moved forward because the prices were all over the place. Then I stopped by World Auto Body and met Rigo. He gave me the best quote I've received anywhere in San Diego. From the moment we spoke, everything felt straightforward and honest. Rigo took the time to clearly explain the repair process, the work was done exactly within the timeframe he promised, and the final result looked fantastic. The whole experience--from the pricing, to the communication, to the quality of the work--honestly felt like I won the lottery. It's rare to find a shop that combines fair pricing with great service and excellent craftsmanship. If you need auto body work done, I highly recommend giving them a call. I'm really glad I found this place.
