Once again, RACA is our family's preferred location of choice for quality service, pricing and vehicle care. They repaired an issue caused by the initial insurance company's recommended location. Don't bother starting somewhere else. RACA has you covered!

I just noticed your response to my review. All it was, was insult to injury. My car remains to this day with one wheel completely scratched. Your business does not back its guarantees and your apologies don't change the fact that the owner is a misogynist. You have all my information an apology was very simple and a repair is still possible.

So far so good. Ill post updates on before and after. Price was fair and hope to get it back in a week or so.

Outstanding Service and Flawless Results I took my Honda civic to this body shop after an accident, and I couldn't be happier with the results. From the very beginning, the team was professional, friendly, and transparent. They clearly explained the repair process, gave me a fair estimate, and delivered on time. The paint job is perfect, and the bodywork is top-quality.

Our local insurance agent referred us to RCAC when my 2017 4Runner "the Stormtrooper" got banged up from sliding in the mountain snow into a wall. The front bumper panel was ruined, along with deep gouges on the oppposite wheel fairing. We didn't need an appointment. They were busy working on many cars (a good sign I guess), but everyone was friendly and directed us to the office. The office administrator is a very nice lady (didn't catch her name) who was efficient, helpful, and expert with dealing with insurance. We reviewed the damage with Bob the manager, a courteous guy. He told us he would call us the following day to review the cost and work to be done. We were happily surprised at the cost of all the work, and since it was so close to our deductible we decided to pay out of pocket. Communication was very good, they called throughout the process to keep us updated. A few business days later when we picked up the Stormtrooper I just stared at first. It looked like a brand new car. It was sparkling clean too. It's a few years old and had lots of little dings and scratches, mostly on the bumpers. The new front bumper looked great, white paint a perfect match. But they also removed EVERY ding and scratch on the car, including several on the rear bumper! I was amazed and grateful. It's so hard to touch up dings yourself, it never looks great. But they restored the exterior to like new condition at no extra cost. So nice. Thank you to everyone at RCAC who helped make our car repair a great experience. I'll always go there when needed in the future. They rock!

I was parked in Utah when I was hit. Rancho Auto Collision made it all better. 8/12/2020 Thank you

In this day and age where COVID seems to excuse businesses for poor customer service, it is so calming to find this collision shop. From the very second I walked into the office...Amazed! I was greeted by Sara. If you have any qualms with this lady, it's YOU! She is a classic example of customer service and so appreciated. In the heat, they graciously wrote up an estimate for my Suburban. A week later, I returned for the repair. Enterprise (Ryan) and Geico's (Andy) all worked in sync with this company and really, all I had to do was show up. I've forgotten what excellent customer service is all about and in fact, gave up trying. These people went above and beyond for me. I had a few scratches on my front bumper that they touched up and even buffed out my door, that was ruined by another company. Wow! In 100 degree heat. My Suburban looks prettier than it did when I turned it into them. It looks like they detailed it, and even shined up the tires. I am sitting here smiling. I have dealt with 2 other companies in Murrieta and Temecula and I've got to say.... This is the BEST kept secret in the Inland Empire. Prepare to be amazed! Sara and Michelle, Efren.... and all the guys behind the scene, my Husband and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts. For your kindness and genuine concern for us. You guys are amazing! I don't know how else to express our gratitude. Please reach out to Julie Noh and tell her she was right. She sent me to you. Smiling cheek to cheek and wish your family only the best. Thank you again.

Definitely a five star review for Rancho California Auto Collision. An inattentive driver rammed her car into our van on Oct 31st. My insurance company has two recommended repair shops in Temecula and so I contacted both. 1) Estimate: Rancho Calif Auto said to come in (the other place said I needed an appt, Friday afternoon, and when I arrived the estimator was out of the office.) 2) Schedule: I received an appt for repairs the following week (the other place wasn't sure when they would be able to schedule me). 3) Quick & Quality: Rancho Calif Auto repaired my van in just over a week and the work is excellent. I will definitely recommend Rancho California Auto Collision to anyone who needs auto collision work on their vehicles. The office staff is friendly and helpful, kept the promises they made, and performed excellent work and service. Thank you.

I cannot recommend RP Paint Studios & Collision enough! My experience started with an online…read morerequest that was answered within an hour--I had an appointment for an estimate before my insurance company even called me back. Rudy is incredibly knowledgeable. He actually got under the hood and the chassis, identifying potential hidden issues that might arise during a full tear-down. Because of his thoroughness, I knew exactly what the repair should cost. When the "AI insurance estimate" finally arrived, I had the confidence to push back immediately because I knew I was being low-balled. The communication of RP & Co was world-class; Nancy called me every few days to keep me updated on the progress so I was never left wondering. As for the work on my Tacoma, the front-end repair and paint matching are flawless. They went above and beyond by fixing a broken antenna and discovering damaged headlight wiring I didn't even know was there. To top it off, they returned the truck fully detailed. In a world of automated estimates, Rudy, Nancy, and the crew provide real-world expertise and elite craftsmanship. They are the best in Murrieta, hands down!

I'm so surprised that they were able to make it look like nothing had happened! I would highly recommend taking care of your vehicle and bringing it to RP Paint studios if you've got bodywork or paint needs. The paint color matches spot on!!

They kept bringing me back to the shop for three months, only for the insurance company to ultimately deem the vehicle unsafe to drive and a total loss. I took the car to Crash Champions a second time, following the insurance company's instructions, to give them an opportunity to correct their mistake two months into this ordeal. Instead of fixing the problem, the shop attempted to conceal what had become an irreparable issue. During this attempt, my service writer called to update me, and I asked directly if I'd be satisfied with the work this time. Her response was that if I didn't like it, I could just bring the car back in. That shouldn't be the standard. Repairs should be done right the first time. Getting basic updates was a struggle the entire time. I'd call and be told the person I needed was in a meeting or at lunch, with hours passing and no callback. Twice I drove to the shop in person just to check on the status. What's worse, they tried to give the car back to me multiple times when it wasn't even safe to drive, putting myself and my family at risk. It was clear their team wasn't capable of handling this level of repair, and each "fix" was more of a band-aid than a real repair. After the third failed attempt, the manager, Ray, called to apologize. Instead of taking responsibility, he blamed the service writer, calling her "too green," despite the fact that she wasn't the one doing the actual bodywork or paint. He then offered to repair the car again and personally cover my rental and repair costs, basically asking to handle it outside of insurance. I declined. This experience was exhausting from start to finish. Crash Champions seems built around quick, low-cost patches instead of proper repairs or evaluations, and in my case their negligence cost me months of my time, immeasurable stress, and potentially worse had I not taken my car elsewhere for a second opinion and found out the vehicle was unsafe.

I had tons of questions, multiple scenarios I wanted quotes for, and then more questions on top of that. Marc (said he was the manager), was so extremely professional and patient with every single question I had (and believe me there were a lot). I got four other quotes before I decided to go with the quote Marc gave me. Along with the promotion that was going on at the time Maaco had given me the best price that had all the options I wanted. The timeframe they gave me for the work needed was extremely reasonable and they beat it by a day or two. When I went to pick up the car, there were several other clients there who were admiring the paint color. Macco was able to color match the vehicle beautifully. The body work was also done very nicely and I was very happy with it. Based on my experience, I would 100% recommend this shop. The entrance and the lobby is very handicapped, friendly. They have handicapped parking right in front. The shop is located in a business center, so there is a lot of business traffic (trucks pulling in and out around the area), but not so much that you are stuck there.

Did a great paint job on my 2006 Tundra Minor flaws were repaired and they were right on schedule…read more Can't get a full body paint for this low a price. Like the guarantee as well.
