SAL AND CREW are top notch and have been for many-many years. Got rid of 2-3 coats of resale red paint and perfectly matched the original Sauterne Gold color on my 1966 Mustang years ago. Attention to detail and quality work then . . . just as I'm sure now. If you visit Sal, tell him Tom from San Marcos Winston Tire sent you! read more

Sal is professional, fair, honest and overall a great person! I have been going to TLC Autobody for 20 years and Sal does such a great job every time he has done repair work on our cars. We recently took my daughters Subaru in to get the back bumper replaced after she was rear-ended. Sal and his Son got the job done in an iffectet timeframe, the price was very reasonable and the repair job was amazing! Sal even did the courtesy of removing a big red mark on the front bumper, which was such a wonderful surprise and very generous of him. My daughter's Subaru looks like a brand new car. Overall, Sal and his Son are reliable, sincere, efficient and very skilled at their craft. If I could leave a 10 star review I would. I highly recommend TLC Autobody. read more

They did amazing work and the people were so knowledgeable and helpful. I'm so happy I found them they used original parts I'm so happy

I found Sal to be extremely unresponsive and difficult to work with. After calling back multiple times, he finally gave me option 1) commit to $4000 payment whether the insurance company covered it or not, or 2) pay $300 to get an estimate to take to the insurance company. read more

Simply stated, Sal is one of the most honorable men I know. This ethic results in what may be, the best body repair shop in the county.

Sal is a great people person for starters. My car was actually painted by Sal a couple years ago. The car still looks like new today. I did a total restoration on my 70 Nova and I am BEYOND happy and pleased with the Paint Job and body work Sal did for my Chevy Nova. I always get so many great compliments about the paint and am asked where my car was painted and I refer Sals name! I look forward to doing business with Sal again! read more

See all

After removing the decals from my car I messed up the clear coat while trying to wipe off the adhesive with Goo Gone and a micro fiber towel. I couldn't sleep thinking I destroy my paint job. Brought it to Sal and he wet sanded and buffed it out in less than 10 min. Was good as new. Such a cool genuine guy that I'll always head in for any future needs. Thanks Sal! read more

What a wonderful experience that I had with TLC Auto Body! After the horrible experience of having my 2016 Ram wrecked, Sal worked with my insurance provider and beautifully repaired my vehicle. There is no evidence that the truck was ever damaged. All that he said he would do, he did and in a timely fashion. I would recommend Sal to my friends and family. He is not only a good technician, but a professional businessman. read more

For some reason my post went on for a second time with no stars. Somehow I made a mistake. This is definitely a 5 star business. If you want a cheap paint job, then don't go here. However, if you want great quality for a good price, then Sal is the one to check out. He just finished my '64 GTO, and it is gorgeous. I knew the type of result I was after, and he did things that I did not ask for - but they were right to do. I highly recommend Sal and his TLC business. Jim "Old Man" Taylor read more

I love Tlc!! What an epic family operation. I was recommended to Tlc through a friend, then asked another friend, and my claims adjustor, who never even saw the car, didn't even question the estimate because he trusted Sal and his team that much. Tlc goes above and beyond and I would recommend them to everyone! I plan on reviving an old beauty and she will definitely be going to Tlc for all her restoration needs. You are stuck with me! read more

Sal is a perfectionist, which is exactly the kind of person you want for body/paint work on your car. We went to TLC because his rates were reasonable but when we picked up our car, we felt like we got the best deal in town. His work is flawless. My car looks new and it's 11 years old. Everyone at TLC is so nice and easy to work with. When I first took my car in, Sal introduced me to his wife and daughter who work with him. They've been in business 27 years. We are beyond satisfied with the work he and his team did and we will let everyone we know about TLC. As happy as we are about our car, the best part was doing business with such a nice person. Don't waste your time going anywhere else - just go straight to Sal at TLC and he will do a great job for a great price! read more

The guy was absolutely honest with me. When it's time to get work on my car he's definitely a good spot to get an estimate from

Friendly great work and affordable.The estimate I got was spot on .I would recommend tlc to anyone I know.

I really enjoyed working with Sal. He is very honest and easy to communicate with. He took a lot of time to make sure my car came out as promised yet the price was reasonable. He had to take some extra steps as problems were uncovered and decisions had to be made. He communicated the status of my job throughout the project. He made me feel as though that is just the way he does business and the extra effort on his part was just part of his professionalism. I would not hesitate to return to him if needed in the future. read more

I would definitely recommend TLC auto body to anyone and I will definitely go there for all of my auto body needs. read more

TLC is the place if you have a custom paint needs or your everyday driver. Sal WILL NOT SKIMP or tarnish his reputation to cut corners. His prices are in line with the MASS fixers but those MASS fixers do quick fixes about a step better than Earl Scheib.
