Spring Street Collision was great at accommodating my needs to get body repair done as quickly as possible. The quality of work is top notch, while having a very competitive price that is hard to come by these days. Armando is a great guy and reassured that the job can be completed in a timely manner. When the car came back to me, it looked brand new. I highly recommend this business. read more

Armando helped with quick, quality responses. He was able to get me in and out of the shop within 24hours. Exactly what he quoted is exactly what was delivered read more

Well, I feel like I'm just piling on given all the wonderful reviews already received by Spring Street Collision and Paint (SSCP) but it is deserved. By the way, this is a second review despite it showing it linked to a review a few years back. Different trucks and different work. Needed my 2008 GX470's OEM front bumper reinstalled after the truck had been fitted with a custom off-road high clearance version. SSCP ordered the needed parts as items such as front bumper brackets and fasteners were forever lost. They even fabricated (at no additional cost) two small attachment points as portions of the truck were cut during the off-road bumper install. Truck looks great, they communicated the few deviations from a completely stock fit, specifically that the fender liners, due to oversized tires, could not be installed all the way at this time and the cut liners remain. These can be replaced and fit to stock should I go back to stock size wheels and tires. Car was delivered! Car was cleaned / detailed! Both unexpected perks when I first chose to have them do the work. Price was very fair given the ask and I recommend this shop for your car repair needs. Should this or one of my other cars/trucks need attention, I will not hesitate to contact them. Thank you SSCP. read more

They did a fantastic job fixing my tailgate. Super professional will definitely be taking other cars that we have there to get bodywork done

Thank you so much for your hard work! Great price and went above and beyond. Thanks Armando and Martina

Fabulous, kind, honest, reasonable local family owned business. I will never take my honda anywhere else. They diagnosed my sensor problem faster and cheaper than the stupid honda service people. They fixed it in one day!! I live this place!!! read more

Man Armando de Alba an incredible professional! My sister in law's car had a broken door hinge support and he found the solution for $100.... everything included. Look no further than these PROS read more

Good communication and full quality service. Provided free delivery of vehicle since I was away from home.

The work was okay, but late. Did not finish a minor part of the repair. Customer service after checking in sucked. Martina(?) was fine, but Armando never returned my phone calls. When I was lucky enough to have him pick up the phone when I called, he just whined excuses. I have no idea how they got all those 5 star reviews. Relatives? read more

I would recommend this place to anyone I liked. They completed the job faster, better and for less money than I expected, I still feel like I owe them more after a couple of months. The color mat has and finish on my old and neglected car has been complimented by people that pay twi e as much on their collector cars. read more

I just wanted to add another 5-Star review for "De Alba's Spring Street Collision & Paint." I needed the driver's door repaired/replaced, as well as a fist-sized dent repaired on a 2015 Nissan Juke. I checked with three local collision shops within the La Mesa area, and I subsequently went with Spring Street Collision & Paint. Firstly, I was already aware of their solid reputation just from word of mouth. I also thought their estimate was much lower than one company's and about the same as the other company's, give or take a couple hundred dollars. Also, since I was paying out-of-pocket, they worked with me a bit on the cost, which none of the other companies offered to do. One company's estimate, "Caliber Collision," gave me a written estimate that was literally **88%** higher than what De Alba's Spring Street Collision & Paint's written estimate was, and from what I can tell, for the same exact work. De Alba's Spring Street Collision & Paint is a family-owned business, and they really seem to care about their customers, which I'm sure earns them the well-deserved reputation that they have. The repairs turned out great..."Like It Didn't Even Happen." (Seriously!) All in all, a great experience (as far as getting your busted-up car fixed, that is), and I would highly recommend De Alba's Spring Street Collision & Paint. Lastly, a big thanks to them! read more

When I arrived, I wasn't sure where the entrance was, so I called the location--and they answered immediately. The receptionist was very helpful and kind. I believe it was the owner who personally assisted me. I had a collision that damaged my fender and made it difficult--and very noisy--to open the driver's side door. While the damage might not have looked severe, the grinding noise was hard to ignore. To my surprise, the issue was resolved within minutes. I highly recommend this place for their efficiency, professionalism, and outstanding customer service. read more

My Honda Pilot got its bumper knocked off and a fender bent. I went to 5 places in town to get quotes. When I arrived at Spring Street, Armando greeted me very kindly and asked how they could help. He gave me the best quote and threw in some additional paint work. When the job was finished they delivered the car to my house and even cleaned the inside (which I know was a mess cause I have 3 kids under 7). I was extremely impressed and will definitely be going back when my cars need work. They also defogged the lights at no charge! If you want a mechanic you can trust to be honest and as affordable as possible, Armando is your guy! read more

I have nothing but positive feedback for this business. The job I had was small and unique. I needed to have the headliner dropped and then reinstalled due to some mounting nuts that had fallen thru. The Toyota dealership said it would cost at least $2,500 and really didn't even want to help. De Alba quoted be between $300-500. It ended up costing only $400. They were professional, courtious and finished when they said they would. Small local family business! Give them a try. read more

They did the work as soon as I arrived and were done under the estimated time. The price I paid was also under the maximum estimated amount. I am very pleased and would use them again if the necessity arouse. read more

Work was done very professionally. Also was done on time and at a reasonable cost. No problems at all. Tom J.

They made my car like new again! And they also gave me a ride home after leaving my car there . I'll def go back.

You know what they say...you can't find a honest mechanic. Now you can stop looking for one, I have found one for you. Great shop, clean, friendly and they know what your car needs. For me he knew right on the spot what was wrong with my car and instead of trying to charge me for service I didn't need (like other places do) they took care of me. It just so happens what I needed was a electrician. No problem he said!!!! I can refer you to a great place. And he did! HONEST!!!! Where I went was fabulous, got my car back, same day and the cost was very reasonable. So....the next time I need mechanical service, this will be where I go....and you should too. Check them out.....you won't be able to do better! read more

Had some minor front end damage on my 2018 mustang. Didn't want to file an insurance claim because I'd have to pay the deductible and my premiums would go up. They fixed it in a couple of days and even apologized for it taking so long! And it ended up costing me only a bit more than my deductible would've been. I went to these guys because I live just around the corner from me, but I'll be going back in the future if I need them because they don't mess around, they know what they're doing and they charge a fair price. read more

I contacted Armando from Spring Street collision regarding our six month old Tesla model three. I explained that we had scratches all around the window trim. He suggested that I bring the car in for an evaluation and that possibly, the scratches could be gotten rid of with a compound. I was quite concerned, because I thought that the entire window trim would need to be replaced by Tesla and that would've cost thousands of dollars. Upon arrival, Armando took a look at the vehicle and stated that it would be very difficult to try to paint over the existing trim. He also informed us that he could not order the Tesla parts. Then, he suggested he try a bit of compound. The results were amazing! He worked on the vehicle for approximately 30 minutes and removed all of the scratches around the window trim. Our car looked new again!! I attempted to pay him for his service, but he refused. I tried again and he continued to refuse. This is one of those rare businesses that places customer satisfaction above making a profit. Should our car ever need additional repairs, we know where to go and will not hesitate to use him. Thank you so much, Armando. read more

Quite simply, Spring Street Collision does first-rate work. This is a family-owned business which, quite rightfully, takes great pride in their integrity, the quality of their workmanship, and their family name. They have always recommended the most cost-efficient solutions for my car and their prices are very reasonable. They are truly a pleasure to work with. read more

So far my experience with Spring Street has been excellent. They have ordered my paid part and waiting for appointment date. Will keep you informed after final installment. read more

They squared away my truck tailgate (after I'd left it down and unattended while parked and someone bumped into the corner of it and left) for a reasonable price. They threw in some touch-up paint and were a total pleasure to work with. Good stuff. read more

10/10- they are all so nice and fixed my issue so quick! All my single girlies out there can commiserate that visiting any car shop can feel patronizing and uncomfortable. NOT this place! They are kind and incredibly accommodating! read more

I highly recommend this body shop to everyone! Not only do they know what they're doing when it comes to fixing cars, but they're also very helpful. They helped me get my beloved BMW back on the road after a major accident and they did an amazing job at it! I had to pay for the damage out-of-pocket and Martina and Armando at Spring Street Collision were very understanding of my situation and helped me get some used parts to lower the cost. They also allowed me to bring in parts that I bought elsewhere for them to install, which I thought was pretty cool. They let me keep my car at their shop while I bought the parts that I needed without charging me storage fees like other body shops would have. I ended up saving a lot of money by going to Spring Street Collision (and the quality of their work is top-notch!) I appreciate Martina and Armando for being so knowledgeable and helpful. They helped me out a whole lot! I highly recommend their shop to everyone! Not only are they the "collision and paint experts," but they're also experts at proving exceptional customer service! read more

I met Armando a while back when I brought in my car for an estimate. He was super patient with me and completely honest regarding the work involved to repair my Chevelle. I came back today and he remembered me and, again, gave me a very thorough explanation about the work involved and what to expect if I brought my car to his shop. I definitely appreciate the honesty and patience that he showed me given the fact that I returned twice already. I am looking forward to bringing my car to his shop when the time comes. Thank you, Armando! read more

Ran into a deer on the highway and damaged front hood and grille...I'm very particular about my cars and take very good care of them.

And would highly reccomend them without reservation. Thank you Martina and Armando...Great Job! read more

Had a car pull out in front of me on my 1996 Dodge Ram. Smashed the front end in pretty good. Not enough to total it. So I used Yelp asking for a collision shop and ended up choosing this place. Seemed like a good choice with their reviews, response time amd willingness to take on a very old truck that two shops would not work on because of age or All-State insurance from the guy who pulled out in front of me. While they were fixing the truck, I asked them to install this new transmission line kit as mine were original and had already blown a leak one. They took on the job, and after several months of working on the car, they called me to come pick it up. They called again while I was en route to pick it up and explained that they should have test drove it because the transmission lines were leaking. Ok waited a week, and they said transmission that was new also leaked. I got a new one, dropped it off, and they called to say everything is ready. Drove there, and they were working g on the AC. It was not ready again. Came back the next day Saturday. Picked up the truck, drove it home, and the second radiator leaked. Radiator was not their issue. But they did not test drive it again. So I was too frustrated to bring it back to them and finished the radiator job myself. Then I thought I better check everything they did. Well today I find JB weld on one of the new fittings that was in the transmission line kit. Guess that's how they fixed the leak. I can't believe it. Two times I picked the truck up, and they had not test drove it. And JB weld to fix a leak. Maybe they should find another profession here. read more

After multiple years of on-and off-road bangs, dents, scratches, etc., I decided to finally have the necessary body work done to improve the look of my SUV. I first attempted going to a couple of chain body repair shops but was told the damage didn't warrant their services. Ok, fine. I finally looked into Spring Street Collision in La Mesa and was pleased with the reviews I found on both their website and Yelp. And when I went in to their shop - without an appointment, a plus for my schedule - I was immediately impressed with Armando, one of the owners. Armando was thorough in both his inspection of what I wanted done and his assessment of the cost to do it, both in terms of money and time. As the work to be done was time-consuming, I needed to rent a car while the work was being done. A rental agency was available nearby and his assistant, Gabby, was helpful in providing transportation to the agency, another plus. After the work was completed, I was pleased with the outcome that went far beyond my expectations. Further, Armando helped to make this project a reality in that he provided unexpected discounts for the work that was done. I was very satisfied with both the completed work on my SUV and with my interactions with Armando. He presented himself as professional, friendly, and helpful way beyond my expectations. (Armando's sister, Martina, and Gabby were also helpful and friendly in person and over the phone.) I strongly recommend Spring Street Collision for any body work you may need for your own vehicle. read more
