I took my 2018 Camry to Colima Auto Body Shop based on the rave online reviews. I dropped the car…read moreoff on Wednesday, paid the down payment and Luis took me back to the border. Then I took the trolly all the way home to El Cajon. The quote was less than a quarter of the estimate of a collision repair shop up here. Two days later Luis called and said the car was ready for pickup. By the way he uses WhatsApp to communicate. I took a taxi from the border to his shop. The work was impeccable and the car was restored to pristine condition. Only one problem. When I looked in my wallet for the money to pay him the money was not there. I probably dropped it as I was paying the taxi driver. I must say that Luis gets extra credit and high marks for not panicking or berating me. He drove me to the border. I took an Uber to the closest bank, withdrew the money, Ubered back to the border and walked across again. Luis picked me up. Then back to the shop, I paid him and I was on my way. The situation was complicated by the fact that I had taken the fob with me so that they were unable to move my car while I was away. My screwups! The shop is located in the back of an apartment building and is accessed through a narrow tunnel in the middle of that building. If you put the address in Google maps, you can see exactly what that building looks like. There is no sign on the street. Following the route on Google maps it is very easy to get there. They don't take credit cards. Luis' English is OK, but not great. He gets a capital P for patience though. Excellent work going above and beyond that necessitated by the collision at a price less than a quarter of the estimate in San Diego.

Luis and his team at Colima provided excellent service and an excellent result with my car!…read more I was nervous traveling to Mexico for car work, but this shop does similar, maybe better work than the best in California. When you meet Luis, you'll get the impression that he's a honest businessman and that proved to be true. Luis was responsive and always had answers to my questions, he always was open and explained why he was doing certain things. He responded whenever I messaged him. The shop did very good work on my car. It looks brand new now. They fixed a piece of siding, some window parts, my door and trunk latches, they painted parts and fix things on my behalf that I was not even expecting them to do. They finished earlier than I expected. They finished with an extremely good paint job with no problems or hiccups. They were cleaning parts of my car and my tires when I arrived. They asked me questions and provided me with exactly the services that I wanted. I am going to recommend Luis and his team to my friends and family and anyone else. Excellent and recommended experience!

I took 3 regular chairs to Leyva to be reupholstered I had read great reviews. They charged me 60…read moredollars per chair 40 for labor 10 for extra foam I wanted to be more comfortable and 10 for the cover ok I went to pick them up today 2 of the chairs you can tell they put extra foam you can see the imprint of the foam the third you can't so I told the guy that returned the chairs to me , he said oh yea this one have extra foam for sure. I am not an expert but i think that the extra foam should have been placed under the rounded foam so you couldn't see the division of the foam it looks terrible and they didn't put extra foam on the third I guess I am going to have to fix them please don't waste your money going to leyvas there are much better shops in Tijuana .

This review is over due, nothing but 5 star service! I've been bringing ALL 6 of my vehicles here…read moreover 6 years now. There's many big projects I've had here at Elite Auto Body & Paint. From being my daily work vehicles here to my sport cars or project cars, they do it all! It all started with my daily Toyota Corolla being fixed from an accident. Since then I decided to bring in my 2019 Camaro SS 1LE that was not only new to me but built with a heads cam package. I wanted my car to look as clean as it sounded. I had a carbon fiber hood that was faded and ate up by the sun. Angie and Pepe were confident in bringing it back to life. They also installed my side skirts and splitter for this car. I then brought on my project 2004 corvette that was in need of body work and paint job. They killed it with the quality of paint and being able to install carbon fiber wide quarter panels. I then brought my 2011 BMW M3 in for some carbon fiber work. They re cleared my spoiler and fixed my carbon fiber side mirror caps aswell. The latest work they have done is on my 2014 Camaro 2SS 1LE. They painted all of my aftermarket and OEM splitters, side skirts and diffuser on this vehicle. Since my car is lowered they were able to work careful around my car and provide extra hardware on my splitter to be able to handle driveways so it doesn't come off. It's still holding on strong! No sign of it coming loose. I've brought all of my friends here and family members to have their vehicles fixed. I would recommend bringing your vehicle and counting on them to have it fixed! . From damaged cars to special paint projects or parts installations, they were able to give me affordable prices with AMAZING quality.

I was mainly concerned about having to go to another shop and run the risk of the paint not matching. Pepe was able to take my car in immediately. I was even more impressed at the fact that the turn around time was exactly 1 week! My car looks how she did prior to the accident. I am very satisfied at speed and quality of the service.

The employee at Maya was honest with me and said that it could not be fixed, and even if they tried, the glue would come apart after a couple weeks. This is because the seat back is compression glued. He said my only option is to go to Lexus and buy the piece, and then they can remove the old one and install it for me. I went to a shop before Maya and they quoted me $80, then brought it down to $50, saying that they could heat up the fake leather and stretch it. I'm glad I went to Maya and they explained everything to me, why it cannot be fixed.

Antonio paid attention to every detail and repaired every rust spot and repainted the entire car. He was so kind and helpful and even did some additional repairs that were not on the list. I live several hours away and he kept me updated of the progress every step of the way with photos. The car was completed in a reasonable amount of time at a very reasonable cost. I definitely recommend this shop for the quality of the work and excellent customer service. Antonio is a true gentleman.

Antonio has impressed me with his attention to details and quality of work. I live in San Diego and discovered his shop a few years ago when I was considering repairing a major damage to my car. He did it on time, below my expectations and I am happy with his work. You can't even tell the car had such extensive damage. He will also try to save money if he can repair a damage rather than buy new parts. I use him exclusively for all my auto needs especially body work. Our relationship has continued and we became friends and hope to continue. We see each other frequently in Tijuana and enjoy Mexican meals together.
