Had my car fixed in like 4 days! Great job! Ricky was very professional and didn't have to deal with a chain collision shop. Call now to have your car or truck fixed right! read more

Ricky was absolutely awesome to work with, communication was perfect and the work that him and his team performs is amazing. Highly recommend and I would definitely use again. Very transparent with everything and overall super nice dude. This is the spot to use! read more

He does a really good job on car parts. My car has been in his shop for 3 months because of a car accident, clearly he is taking his time to actually do a job, whereas some auto shops just do it really quickly without any consideration at all read more

Ricky's Paint & Body is my family's goto for any car damage repair. We have use Ricky's several times and we have never been disappointed. The quality of repair for the price is not to be beaten. The personal touch and care cannot be matched by "bigger" chain repair shops. Ricky's honesty and attention is to be recognized backed up by the quality of work, repair and finish. He uses the best products and it shows. You will never regret going by giving Ricky a opporuntity to provide you an estimate. I am sure you will go with Ricky after all is considered. PS - he is very effective working with insurance adjustors. He wants the best for you and will make sure they pay for the real work needed and not skimp. read more

I'd give 10 STARS if I could! I went to 3 of the big auto body shops in OC and all said to scrap my 2002 4Runner. Caliber Collision (very cool guys), told me to let Ricky have a look at it before I gave up. I had it towed to his shop as a last try - Ricky and his son took a look and said, "no problem, we can fix it". The price they quoted was in my range and they said they could fix it 'brand new' in 3-4 weeks time. I was VERY skeptical, but decided to give them a chance. I stopped by weekly to see the progress and each time I was shocked how good it was looking. They matched the paint perfectly, the front end is litterally brand new, they even fixed some other dings and dents, and all in the time quoted. I am extremely thankful to Ricky and his team and can't recommend them highly enough! They are 100% true to their word and I will refer them to everyone I can. read more

See all

Really great experience again with Ricky's. He fixed my husbands car when he got into a hit and run and now mine and both times our cars came out perfect. Quick work and return and my car came back beautiful. He worked with my AAA agent and the whole process was so easy. We will absolutely use Ricky's again and refer others. read more

Ricky's Paint & Body - Before and after - Body Shops Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

My BMW had a few deep scratches on the rear area. A good friend of mine suggested I go to Ricky's in Costa Mesa. They were great. Promised it would be done in two days and it was! It looks great and I can really recommend Ricky's read more

Ricky was great. Car came out awesome. Great customer service, quick turn around

Our Jeep Grand Cherokee had a large dent on the front fender that extended to the door. Ricky did an excellent job! It's good as new and Ricky was so easy to work with. Said he would get it done in the specified time and he did. I sure hope we don't have to get other dents repaired but I do know I will go to Ricky! read more

We have been taking our cars and referring family and friends to Ricky's Paint & Body for nearly 20 years. We are always amazed at his work when we get our cars back. He's truly an artist. We recently took in our 2002 convertible BMW 330Ci to fix a fender bender and clean up other items along with a full paint job. The car looks phenominal -- like it is brand new. He is very reasonably priced and continuously looks for ways to save you money on parts while preserving the value of your car. It's a true pleasure dealing with Ricky. 5 stars all around. read more

A couple weeks ago I was rear-ended on my 2017 Honda accord and was recommended to Ricky's body shop from a co-worker. He mentioned this shop was very professional, detail orientated, and completed work in a timely fashion. So I trusted Ricky on doing just that. I must say that they've earned a lifetime customer. I will continue to recommend this body shop for paint and body work. Great job. read more

Ricky's Paint & Body - Body Shops Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Ricky at Rickys Auto Body does excellent repair work. My car was rear ended and needed under body work as well as body repairs and paint. He personally answered the phone every time I called and kept me uodated. The car was finished in a timely manner and when I picked it up, he had just returned from having it washed inside and out! Ricky's offers exceptional customer service along with excellent , friendly and honest work. read more

After being referred to Ricky's, I was very happy with the results when he fixed my moms car. Ironically, two weeks after Ricky fixed it, it was hit again in the exact same spot! We took it back to him to fix it again. He did a great job, on time, and a reasonable price. I highly recommend Rickys. read more

Be careful with this guy. I went to get an estimate and Ricky wouldn't put anything in writing. He wanted to be paid in all cash with no receipt. Just was a shady experience. After reading some of the other reviews I decided not to use him. read more

What I found with Ricky was his fair pricing and his honesty. I went in with several "dings" on my car and wheels. He was great to work with. His work is xlnt. I would definitely recommend. Thank you Ricky. read more

My 2006 Mercedes Benz S430 badly needed a new paint job on its left rear door. The previous company who painted the door following a collision repair simply did a horrendous job. Fletcher Jones Mercedes Benz in Newport Beach recommended I take the car to Ricky's Paint and Body in Costa Mesa. Ricky and his team not only did an outstanding job in re-painting the door, but they also repaired two ugly dents on other doors. Then they washed the car and had it looking virtually new when I picked it up. Plus, the cost was extremely reasonable. I could not be more pleased and I will recommend Ricky's Paint and Body to everyone I know who needs these services. They were polite, efficient, and expert in completing the work I needed done in just three days, and at a very fair and appropriate cost. I am thrilled. Thanks, again, Ricky, for a job well done. Absolutely first-rate!! read more

I was referred to Ricky's by a company that did some good quality interior work on my aging Camry. I spoke to a middle aged man--I think it was Ricky-- wanting to get some idea of what direction to go in, whether to touch up the paint or re-paint the whole car and to get some idea about costs. I could not believe how difficult, unpleasant and rude he was. He told me to pull up the car (would not walk over). He barely looked at it. He threw out an outrageously high price with no indication of what that would cover. I have no idea what his problem was and why he would treat a potential customer so poorly. read more

waste of time completely ricky has terrible service save yourself some time and go elsewhere

My car looks like new after Ricky and his crew made repairs. The work was beautifully completed, and the price was very fair. They even cleaned the inside before returning it to me. It sparkles! I am so pleased with the results and would highly recommend this business. read more

Amazing!!! I was recommended by Maurice at Maurice's Mercedes Benz repair as I was rear ended last week. I met with Ricky who immediately gave me a very reasonable quote. Since we went through insurance, I was able to get everything covered. Ricky not only got the work done in record time (2 days!!!) he kept me posted the entire time and was very attentive! He had such positive attitude and my entire car looks even better than when I first dropped it off! The bumper is perfect- he did an amazing job. I cannot recommend him enough - I wanted to go specifically to a Mercedes Benz body shop and wanted a good deal. Fletcher Jones was rude, sleazy and told me the work would take 7 days and that they would "squeeze more money out of the insurance company"! It didn't feel right, and I didn't like the way I was treated. Go to Ricky's to get quality work done on your Mercedes in record time for a good price with a guy that is SO NICE! read more

Ricky is a stand up guy, and I would recommend anyone to get their car fixed here. He saved my bmw from quite a big bump and scratches, and it looks brand new. I was very impressed and happy with the quality of work put into the car. Thanks Ricky! read more

Ricky and his team did an amazing job in such a reasonable time!! I was in my first accident. And I had no idea as far as who to trust when fixing my car. I was referred to Ricky's Paint and Body. And was so impressed at Ricky's customer service, and I knew I was leaving my car in good hands. When I came to pick up my car, I was so amazed at the work. They even cleaned the inside and outside of my car before giving it to me. I will always come here for any future body work. And I highly recommend this place. I will post a before and after pic to show you how amazing this place is!!!! Thank you so much Ricky. read more

Ricky's Paint & Body - Wow!!! Ricky and his team out did themselves!!! - Body Shops Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

My car had a sizable dent and I needed to get it fixed so I could continue to enjoy my car at least a few more years. I was referred to Ricky's by my mechanic but I had to get 3 quotes because the person that hit my car wanted to make sure I chose a reputable and good body shop. Of the 3 I knew right away that Ricky's would be the best choice - it was an easy decision after talking to the other 2 places. Ricky is a down to earth friendly guy and right away I was very comfortable with him. You deal with him direct and he tells you exactly what he is going to do and what to expect. I like that it wasn't too commercial but more casual and comfortable repair shop - not full of hype or having to jump through any hoops. This is my type of place. I picked up my car today and everything was perfect. Ricky's shop is honest and reliable and you will never feel like you are in the dark. I would gladly take any car there again and will be referring him to my friends. Thanks Ricky for a great job! read more

So rude! I organized the repair of 2 small dings on my boss's car, and Ricky treated me like dirt. I was supposed to check the repairs when Ricky finished, and there was a new ding on the car. When I confronted Ricky, he told me, "don't give me that crap, that was already there." DUDE, we circled the car together looking for any little ding to add to the original estimate, why wouldn't you want to include that? Because he scratched it, that why. My boss ended up calling him and convinced him to touch up the ding for free. DUDE! That's all I wanted in the first place. why all the extra hassle?! Oh yea... and 2 small dings cost us $1000. He refused to give me an itemized statement. He didn't list the labor hours worked, parts ordered, and when I asked for proof, he scoffed in my face. The only reason I went here is because my boss chose him. DO NOT go here. They will over charge you and treat you like crap. There are 3 other body shops right next door anyways. read more

Great people, flawless results. I side-swiped my daughter's car in the driveway and felt awful; she was keeping such good care of it. Ricky's pricing was extremely reasonable and the car looks better than I imagined it ever could. The dents/creases were right on edges of the body design around the wheel well; a very difficult place to work. He made it look perfect and matched the paint exactly. I am very picky. Ricky was recommended to me highly by a guy who has been in the business for over 30 years. He and his team are miracle workers. I never write reviews but had to give this place major kudos. read more

I work in the custom automotive industry. I have known and had used Ricky for paint services for about 12 years. I have literally sent hundreds of individual parts and many clients to him over the years. He's got a great eye for paint, I'll give him that. He is unfortunately dishonest, a opportunist and quick to flip personalities. He lied to my face multiple times when I sold him a fully customized truck with a bent frame. We had a agreement that I could remove 2 completely optional aftermarket accessories that would not effect the function of the vehicle. I actually even had a sweet stockpile of spare parts laying around for the truck I planned on just giving him. I just needed a day to take out my other parts at my shop. After all, I've known this guy for 12 years and he very specifically told me he bought it to drive it .. this was a special truck and I wanted to hook him up. He conveniently "forgot " about these accessories and when I called him trying to get my stuff he lied to me multiple different times on different dates with different stories. First it was supposedly at his cousins house, then he said he sold it and it was already gone with my parts in it. When I got a letter a couple weeks later from the DMV saying the truck had expired registration and was still in my name. I called him again, he told me to F*** off and hung up on me. Meanwhile I could see he had a less then 24 hour old ad for my old truck on OfferUp. I stopped by the shop to call him out. Just like other reviewers have mentioned , he got rude, aggressive, cursed at me and got up in my face. He eventually let me get one of my parts as long as I did it in the parking lot with his son babysitting me. My old truck that he supposedly had already sold still had a visually bent frame and a visually uneven alignment. I feel sorry for whoever got it. Its hard for me to believe that a shop that sells poorly rebuilt salvage vehicles like this is capable of doing any good work at all. read more

We went to Ricky's because our mechanic recommended him. Ricky had our car in total for about 5 weeks. It was there initially for (just shy of) 4 weeks after being told it would take about 2 weeks, and then again on 3 other occasions. (Very, very inconveniencing!) In a nutshell, Ricky was EXTREMELY RUDE & DID A SUBSTANDARD JOB. He tried to insinuate that Honda parts were all different sizes so there was no way he could fix the car to look like new. The gaps between the hood, fenders, and bumpers are so uneven you don't need to inspect the car carefully to notice it. Also, there is an obvious bent portion in one of the fenders where they "fixed" it by forcing the parts into a better position. He also insinuated we were seeing things and being unreasonable by requesting that the gaps be even. He did not provide us with any sort of receipt from him; rolled his eyes and hesitated when I demanded a copy of the Honda parts (sensor parts) receipt; and after the fourth time our car was there he told us he was done and not to come back! Well, he shouldn't worry because we will never go back there and we will never, ever recommend that anyone else do business with him. He's a smooth talker, and will say what he feels you want to hear to keep you quiet. He is dishonest and an opportunist. Stay away from this place! read more

Ricky's did a fantastic job on my Mercedes. His price was right and finished on time.

Ricky does amazing work! Ricky has fixed multiple cars from corvettes to hot rods for me and my family. I never have to worry what I'm going to get from Ricky and his team, it's always perfect! Thank you Ricky! read more

If you are looking for perfection and 100% satisfaction go to Ricky's in Costa Mesa on W. 18th street. My car was hit and badly damaged and Ricky and his son Ricky Jr. brought it back to show room perfection! It looks so beautiful and they even had it washed for me prior to picking it up. They are kind and professional and take pride in their work and it shows. And their prices are so affordable I couldn't be happier! You will be thrilled with the results of your car once they are done bringing it back looking like a brand new car! read more

I was getting my car washed a couple weeks ago and got into a conversation with another gentleman about getting my car repaired. He told me of Ricky's Paint and Body in Costa Mesa. He told me they were fast and very good. I stopped by and had them take a look and some damage on the bumper of my Toyota. They priced it much lower than I expected. We agreed on a time that I should bring my car in and how long I should expect for the repairs to be completed. Ricky's delivered. They called me early and when I got there I was thrilled. You couldn't tell my car was ever damaged. If you need body or paint work done on your car, I'd go to Ricky's. They are very straightforward and they follow up on what they promise. Joel T read more

BEWARE of this place!! Caliber Collision up the road is awesome, has a lifetime warranty on repairs, and will NOT use salvaged parts. I had the exact opposite experience of Lov E. I was also referred here by Maurice after I was rear-ended in my 1984 Mercedes 300TDT wagon. Perhaps Ricky thought my car didn't matter as much as newer cars. I bought it from a collector, I put more into it, and it was appraised at $15k after the accident. Approx 90% restored- a VERY nice daily driver. I was jerked around by Ricky, as it took much longer than he initially promised. When I finally did get it back weeks later, it was clear that he had slapped on a corroded junkyard bumper that was in worse shape than my slightly dented bumper that was on it. When I asked Ricky to make it right he told me to go ahead and take him to court. He said that he had already been paid by insurance (equally useless) and that he wasn't going to do a thing to my "crappy car". Just goes to show Ricky's true poor character- that if you do not have a fancy, expensive car, he will not do his best...or even a fair job for that matter. Maurice (AWESOME MB MECHANIC & HUMAN!) told me that he's had similar complaints about Ricky, and is finished sending business his way. Good luck to this small business's survival with no integrity! read more

My car was dinged by a valet service. The Tesla Center estimated three weeks to repair and paint the bumper. Ricky did a beautiful job in four days. Like new! No hassle at all from the valet serrvice's insurance company. They were happy with Ricky's estimate! read more

We brought our SL500 to Ricky after some pretty serious damage to the front bumper after brushing over a curb. We had completely broken the fiberglass in a few areas, as well as some paint damage. Ricky and his team repaired everything and it looks good as new. We are very happy with the results and highly recommend his shop. Thank you Ricky! read more
