Active Auto Collision | San Marcos 923 Rancheros Drive, San Marcos, CA 92069

"Update 8 years after my last review. Still the best in town. Came in for a quote. Left with a smile and an understanding of the quote both best case and worse case price. Very good work and friendly staff. No other place came close to thier price. This is my second time using them. They are my go to guys for body and paint work."

"Oh my... Where do I start. Brought my 2019 Ford fusion in on the recommendation of a friend.0 had a front end damage so it did need some work done. Do not bring your car here if it's more than just a ding or some paint touch up. Anytime they have to do any type of major body work take it somewhere else. The day I pick my car up it almost didn't get me to the freeway I had to bring it back because they had not checked everything because it is a hybrid and the hybrid cooling system was damaged and they did not catch it. That put me back another week. Keep in mind I live in Chula Vista which is an hour from San Marcos. Then when I get the car back it turns out that they don't know how to calibrate any type of safety systems so to there credit they did set me up with a an appointment at a local Ford dealer where I could get the car fixed albeit two appointments later the car finally started to work normally. This brings me to today I was holding off on leaving any type of negative reviews but I just couldn't take it anymore. Took it into the local Valvoline quick oil change place and they told me there are three bolts missing on the skid plate they had just put in some screws not even bolts to hold the skid plate up. Don't know what I'm going to do now but I definitely need to warn anybody who's thinking about taking your vehicle here unless it's a scratch steer clear of these clowns. Not to mention the fitting of the body panels is completely uneven The spacing between the hood and the fenders is uneven I usually take my vehicles down to TJ trust me next time I'll take my chances with TJ once again do not take your car here."

"This place did great work on my car. It was done within 3 days at an excellent price. They gave me the best estimate out of all the body shops I went to. The owner is very friendly and responsive and answered any questions I had in a timely manner. Excellent paint match and body work. The car came out looking good as new."

"I have a 1999 Ford F-250 4x4 that I took here after an front end collision. I finally felt like someone was on my team, and understood my lifted/custom off-road trucks value and how to fix it, not total it out. Super happy with all the work. They did axle work, lift kit work, transfer case, body work, paint, and it all came out great. Even a supplement issue with the insurance company was handled with my best interest. I’d recommend this shop for sure."

"I've had a few cars painted here and overall have been satisfied with the work. However, they are not a highly detailed shop for complete paint work and if you're looking for higher end quality this may not be the shop for you. The last car I brought to them I was told a price (no written quote) then asked for an additional $500 upon picking up the car citing "more work than we thought". Not the way I like to do business. Shadi is a nice guy and is accommodating, however, his brother is unprofessional. If you use this shop get everything in writing up front and don't have overly high expectations."
