I can't recommend Terry's Auto Body enough! Dealing with car repairs is usually a headache, but the team here made the entire process incredibly smooth. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Glynn at the front desk was fantastic--super helpful from the start and, most importantly, always followed through with a phone call when she said she would. It's rare to find that kind of reliability.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The communication didn't stop there. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Jeremy, the technician, was also great to work with. He was prompt with updates and made sure I was kept in the loop every step of the way. I never had to wonder what was happening with my vehicle.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] On top of the great service, they handled all the back-and-forth with the insurance company for payment, which saved me a massive amount of stress. If you want a shop that is professional, communicative, and does great work, this is the place to go! read more

This morning I had a problem with my car making a strange noise while driving on I-5. I managed to merge onto Mission Avenue, then I saw the sign for Terry's Auto Body across the road. I drove into the forecourt and asked if they could help me. They quickly diagnosed the problem, took the car into the shop, replaced two screws which were missing from a panel and in 15 minutes I was on my way. Problem solved and no charge! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Thank you Terry's, I really appreciate your kindness.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Andy G. read more

Terry's Auto Body & Paint - Like nothing ever happened - Body Shops Near Me - Oceanside, California

I damaged a running board on my SUV. After seeing the dealer price on it and not being able to find a used one, I decided to use my insurance since the deductible would be less than the part from the dealer. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I chose Terry's and am glad I did.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They said that insurance doesn't pay for OEM parts, but that they would try to find a used one.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] He found one and the total cost of the repair would have been about half of my deductible. However, when the used one arrived, it turned out to be damaged. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They were then able to convince my insurance company to pay for an OEM part.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They got the part and installed it, and got rid of my old one. [[HIGHLIGHT]]For everything they went through, I can't imagine they made much money off of this repair, but that's what great customer service is all about.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I had the option of using a shop down the street that claims to be Champions. However, I used them twice and they are losers! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Terry's Auto Body is a winner!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I've used this body shop on three different occasions. They've done excellent work each time. My vehicles have always been repaired perfectly and returned to me detailed. They have a great reputation with my insurance company which is a very good thing. I would use this business again and highly recommend. read more

I was recommended to Terrys Auto Body by North County Ford. There was a snafu in the towing and I had to meet a tow truck driver at Angelos towing yard in Oceanside. The tow truck driver was friends with them and highly recommended them as well! That was a huge win! [[HIGHLIGHT]]I called and spoke with Glynn who was very professional and personable and felt comfortable right away.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Unfortunately my car got totaled and I didn't have any work done but I knew I was in the right place should I have had to. I'm taking my new car in to be detailed by them when it needs it because their pricing was affordable and they won't do anything halfway way! If you're in need of auto body work or a detail, check out Terry's it's on Mission in Oceanside read more

Once again Terry's Auto Body did an excellent job. This is my 2nd repair and both times on-time, great quality, and friendly staff. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ulysses and Glynn always helpful.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You don't need to shop around just come here for great local owned business. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Had a great experience at Terry's and felt very welcome and comfortable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]You can tell it's a family owned business because of the personalized service you rarely get at large corporations, I felt like family.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The price was more than fair and the service I received was exceptional. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Thank you Jeremy and team for making the whole process painless and easy to navigate![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I cannot speak highly enough of this business! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Juan was a pleasure to deal with.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This is the most reputable high integrity car business I have ever dealt with! They were also referred by the car dealership so I knew their work would be high quality. Nice to know Terry's is here should you need this type of business! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I went to get an estimate on a dent on my driver side door and the guy in the office wouldn't even look at my car because insurance wasn't involved.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] He said it will cost about $10,000. [[HIGHLIGHT]]He acted like I was wasting his time because he stood up to speak to me.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I do not recommend this place. read more

My truck got side-swiped so of course, I took it to Terry's. Why? Because I know they're locally owned and have been a staple in the city of Oceanside for my whole life... [[HIGHLIGHT]]Family vibe as soon as I walked in. I don't remember names, but the lady up front took care of me so quick.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]She took my truck in and had the rental car place there to pick me up within minutes. It was a perfect experience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]While they had the truck, they handled everything with my insurance and kept me updated regularly on the status along the way.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Final result? Got my truck back looking like brand new again. They fixed the dents, got scratches out, and repainted to the exact color. Even threw a new step-ladder on there. Along with all of the other safety details... [[HIGHLIGHT]]I'm happy, and even more, grateful to have Terry's Auto Body take care of my truck when I was in need.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Thanks to the whole team! read more

Terry's Auto Body & Paint are extremely trust worthy, skilled artists and technicians, and meet their deadlines. My son and I took our Genesis Coupes to Terry's for bodywork. I have an older model and the blue paint deteriorated on the wing, and my side mirror broke. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They are a very busy shop, but they honor our loyalty by doing special favors.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They ordered a new drivers side mirror, painted it, and called when it was ready. Took 30 minute to mount and I was on my way! They matched the paint perfectly without having the car. Saving me time and money. [[HIGHLIGHT]]When you visit them it's like family. Glynn, Tessa, Edgar, and Linas are the nicest and friendliest people. Trust them to treat you right.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Thank you Terry's Auto Body & Paint!!! read more

Amazing service! These people really know how to take care of you with a personal touch! It's definitely a gem! I got in a fender bender, and within the week, they had me in the shop! The process was so seamless and easy with text updates! They answered all my questions. I have a unique paint color on my jeep, and they matched it perfectly. They made sure each and every piece was replaced with a perfect match. The staff was so friendly. Each person greeted me with a smile and took the time to make me feel special. Even when I got a rental, one of the owners took the time to show me some tips and tricks about my rental because she had rented the same vehicle before. This place is quick, with great communication, and extremely personal. GO HERE IF YOU NEED ANY CUSTOM OR BODY WORK. I KNOW I'LL BE BACK AS I BUILD MY JEEP OUT! 10 out of 10 reccomend. read more

There's a lot of jinky auto places around and in my opinion take advantage of people due to the pandemic and not getting business. I'll tell you that Terry's Auto Body & Paint are legit. The staff and the work they do is second to none. With me loyalty is a must. They showed that in so many ways. And again, the work they did was awesome. My car was damaged from trying to be stolen. There entire steering column and gear selector was damaged. With Terry's crew, they took care of my vehicle. Thanks again guys and I appreciate your integrity and honesty... read more

After another body shop damaged my car while repairing it, I was frustrated and needed a quality body shop to fix my car. I had used Terry's Auto Body & Paint before since they are Hyundai certified. Glynn, Tessa, Edgar, and Linas are the nicest and friendliest people to work with. It took a month to get in because they are very busy but totally worth it. They did a fantastic job fixing my lower passenger rocker panel, rear bumper, trunk trim, and so on. They care about the quality of the work that they put out. I was blown away by how good my car looked after I got it back. The body lines, panels, and my new taillights look absolutely perfect. They even retained my aftermarket backup sensors that I had the Hyundai dealership put on years ago. And didn't mess with my carbon fiber trunk! They are expensive, but they do it right the first time and don't cut corners on anything. You get what you pay for, and I learned that the hard way with my beloved genesis coupe. Thank you Terry's Auto Body & Paint!!! read more

I came in to do obviously following an accident I want not at fault for as many people can imagine is never a pleasant thing. In my time here I have the pleasure of meeting Glynn and Juan who helped me out through todays process. Both very very polite and I could clearly tell that they do their job well. Glynn went out of her way to call the rental place to see if there was rentals left and not only that she called the guys insurance that hit me to see about getting me a rental which is way more then just doing her job. I don't really write many great reviews unless the institution or its workers deserve it. That they certainly did. read more

I would like to give a huge thanks to Tessa Hewitt and Terrys Auto Body & Paint for their outstanding customer service and attention to detail on my F-150!! I chose this shop because of the close proximity to my home, and because they were local and had great reviews. My experience started with speaking with Glynn at the front desk. She was so kind and helpful with helping me understanding the process and getting paperwork organized with Geico so I could bring the truck there. She followed up with me several times to make sure things were going ok with the process of getting the truck there. I found that follow up to be impressive and from there I knew I was in good hands. Glynn then appointed me to my service advisor, Tessa Hewitt. Tessa reached out to me to discuss the repair process and what they had found after taking the front end apart. She advised me from the start approximately how long the repairs would take, and she was spot on. I found Tessa to be extremely helpful, professional and kind. She listened to my concerns, the truck being brand new.. I wanted all the parts to be from Ford. She made sure that everything was put back together with Ford parts which I greatly appreciated. Tessa was very prompt with calling me 1-2 times a week with status updates. Those phone calls were greatly appreciated because I always knew what was happening with my truck. I would recommend any of my friends and family to see Tessa at Terry's Auto Body & Paint. They will take care of your vehicle and put your mind at ease! Thanks again! read more

Great work on an insurance claim - rebuilt front end of 2018 Honda Civic and it looks brand new. Excellent communication, fair pricing, good job working through the insurance company, etc. took a little longer than expected due to parts availability but I am very happy with their work and can highly recommend. Shop Foreman Linas is a great guy to work with as well! And thank you Glynn for all your help! read more

This place is amazing!! Where to I start?! From the front desk, to the estimate, to the actual work, there just isn't places like this anymore. I wish I had known about this place sooner. They have earned my business. I will not go to another auto body shop again! Keep up the stellar work! read more

My dealer used Terry's to repair scratches, caused in transport, on my new truck (2022). These were scratches toward the passenger side roof. After 3 weeks, I picked up my truck from the dealer and noticed swirled scratches on the rear passenger door and window. It looked like someone wiped the truck with a towel that had a rock in it. Upon further inspection, the entire passenger side of the bed was covered with overspray. You could feel it and see it when the light was just right. The scratches on the side were mostly buffed out, I can still see where the clear coat was rubbed away. The window was scratched deep enough to where the dealer had to replace it. The truck was also covered with smudges of white paint throughout that had to be removed. Also, in the interior on the floor mats. It was a mess. I find it hard to understand how both Terry's and my dealer missed all of this when delivering a vehicle. This was a total lack of attention to detail and not caring about the job. read more

I worked with Linas after my F150 Raptor had a couple of unfortunate scrapes ($17k total damage). Terry's made every effort to ensure my truck looked 100% factory, including respraying the line-X, reshooting my 4 stage paint to look factory, welding new aluminum panels and keeping me updated throughout the process. When I picked up my truck, it had been fully detailed despite leaving full of dirt from Yuma lol. I highly recommend Terry's for all high end Ford jobs. read more

If a "good" business deserves a five star review, Terry's Paint & Auto Body deserves a TEN STAR review. Seriously! Its probably not often when someone raves about a body shop but the crew at Terry's is genuinely AMAZING. Every aspect of my experience with them has been positive. From the friendly smile and greeting when you walk in the door to the knowledgeable team member who meets with you to discuss the work you need and provide you with a written estimate to the skilled craftsmen who perform the necessary work. Every single member of the team at Terry's was polite, helpful, skilled and funny! Yes, if you're not a jerk, they will laugh and joke with you... This alone REALLY helps to make a difficult situation better (lets face it, who really WANTS to go to the body shop and spend money right?) Not only did the crew at Terry's treat me like family, they did a fantastic job of making my truck look like new after I collided with a lowered parking stop. (think metal jousting pole pointed right at your hood) And whats REALLY amazing is that they got it fixed and returned to me in TWO DAYS If you need paint or body work done, there is no better place on earth that Terry's Paint & Auto Body. And... if you are a skilled paint & body technician... I heard that they are looking for talent so.... you might want to drop by and introduce yourself... They're looking for skilled craftsmen who can help them keep up with their ever increasing volume of work read more

I spent my professional career in designing and delivering customer service systems and as a result , in my retirement, I pay close attention to the customer service I receive. More often than not, I'm disappointed, but not in this case. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Terry's, (Gwen at the front desk, Juan and others in the back), provided me a customer service experience that put a smile on my face.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] In addition to doing a really great job on my car, they were friendly, responsive, and kept me updated along the way. read more

BEST SHOP! clean work, exceptional customer service and aluminum certified. My car came out looking amazing​

This started off going good but then ended like many a money grubbing business does, not good. Brought my car in after a hit and run and they provided a quote for 7k, then after pulling it apart piece by piece they drove the price of the repair went to 8k than 10k then to over 11k. I get it that estimates can change but that is a big change and if they started out at 11k insurance would have totaled it. That is not all though. During this increase the estimate process insurance said they wanted me to pay for some of a part, an axle because it has use to it? I told Bruce that sounded odd to me he agreed and said he would talk to the insurance company about it. I never heard back and then weeks later after I picked it up and paid my total I get a call saying you owe $192.00. I told them a little late to be coming to me with that. I cant do anything with insurance now? They said they would back charge my insurance and then they would charge me if I didn't pay. I told them this seemed like an oversight on their part and that maybe we could work something out? With the extras I had them do beyond the insurance claim the total came to over $12k do you think we could split the $192? Bruce talked to his boss and he said Nope, No way. I want my money! The reason I write this entire review is that you really learn about a company when things go wrong. This told me everything I needed to know about them. This was their problem, we could have done more during the process but after was too late. I was willing to work with them but a money grubber they are. So while this was a small issue it made me understand how they would operate even more if you had a bigger problem. I will NOT be coming back to this company for anything, other than to drop off a check for $192.02. I also must add this last little grip. When I came to pick up the car it was totally dusty and dirty. Not something you want to see when you pick up your car that has literally been half repainted. Hard to tell how the paint job was. read more

These guys are awesome. About a year ago I had my Ford repaired after a collision (~$5.5k repair), which they did great. A week ago my AC condenser (which they've replaced during that repair) has cracked due to the manufacturing defect and they've easily replaced it with the new one. Special thanks to Bruce who also helped me to deal with some minor issues with my Ford Service in Carlsbad. read more

Very friendly and welcoming staff. I went to get a spray in bed liner for my truck and while I was there, I asked about side steps. They showed me a few options and I picked out what I liked. Both were done and ready the very next day. The quality on both is terrific. I am a very satisfied customer and should I need (or more than likely just want) anything else for my vehicle, I would definitely prefer to return here. read more
