Had to have dent and paint repaired. Looks perfect.They did an excellent job, even putting ceramic coating back on the damaged area. Very professional and helpful. Even got my car a day early. Highly recommend this shop and Albert.

This is my third time needing bodywork on my car. I have always brought my car to Darby’s and I always will. They are professional, prompt, thorough and honest.

I just stopped by to get an estimate on re-setting my fog lights that were very loose and about to fall out. The estimate was great so I had the work done. They even gave me a ride home and picked me up when the car was ready, a few hours later. Super nice people and excellent service. Great price too.

Brought my 2017 Chevrolet Silverado to Darbys. These guys did a great job on the repairs. Jorge and Mario took care of me and went above and beyond. Definitely recommend this shop, talk to Jorge!

Rico Salgado

Brought my car here after running into some debris on the freeway, which include a traffic cone that caused most of the damage. Picked up my car today and just as promised, looks just like new. Jorge was great with every step of the repair process and kept me informed of everything. Highly recommend this shop for any body repair. Centrally located in North Park and a short walk from University Heights or even Normal Heights. Friendly staff and delivered on quality of work.

John Goode

Once again, Darby's - San Diego Auto Body & Collision Repair does an amazing job in record time. I brought in my car on a Monday and on Friday it was done. Not even a full week to fix the car. Plus, they wash and detail the car so when you pick it up, it looks and smells brand new. Thank you for making the whole process easy.

Took my car to this place to get my badge removed and all I have to say is wow! The service was unbelievable and they take care of you the way any business should . And to top it off they did it for free . Great business and they did great work.

They've got a new customer!! Great body shop. Mario and another employee, the painter, took top notch care of my sad bumper that was slowly coming off. Excellent repair, great pricing and I will be back. (Hopefully not too soon)

Ellie Mae

Talk about an amazing experience and top notch customer service! I got into my first accident a couple weeks ago and from the start, Darbys has been patient and very easy to work with! When my car was finally ready, Albert even took the time to make sure every detail about the repair was perfect with me! He even went above and beyond and had my headlights polished so that they weren't yellowed and foggy! Every phone call with Stephanie left me feeling a bit more at ease about the whole ordeal. She's very patient and caring! Highly recommend! Can't say enough good things about them!

Darby's did an excellent job on my truck. It looks perfect! And with the detail they did it looks better than when I bought it. They have really good communication too. Very professional. Great company.

Darby's Auto Body does excellent auto body repair. They repaired my faster than the original estimate, that made me happy and when I went to the shop to pick up my car I had to check the license plate to make sure it was my car because Darby's did such a beautiful job I didn't recognize my own car! If you ever need any body work on your car, I highly reccomend Darby's Auto Body.

Best customer service I’ve ever had at an auto body shop. Albert went above and beyond to let me know what was going on with my car during the repair process.

I just received my TESLA model S back after getting it wrapped. It looks amazing! The attention to detail is exceptional and quality of the work is of the charts and Bernie and team have been really professional. After seeing the beautiful work done on my wife’s car after a crash, I knew I could trust them with this job. I am really really impressed with the overall service and communication throughout the process as well. I strongly recommend them for any auto body and painting needs. Clearly, they care about their customers and aim to please. If I could give them more than 5 stars, I would!

I can't say enough about the excellent work and service provided by Darby's Paint and Autobody! In the past year I have been the victim of both a Hit & Run and an accident caused by another. Both times I brought my car to Darby's Paint and Autobody and both times it was returned to me looking like new. If you don't bring your car here, you are doing yourself a disservice. Not only do they provide excellent service and workmanship, they are also kind and thoughtful of you during this stressful time. I highly recommend Darby's Paint and Autobody.

Amazing work from these guys! I was hoping to at least return to status quo. I received flawless work and a car that was detailed fit for a showroom. Expectations were definitely exceeded. Talk to Albert and he'll get you squared away!

The best body work I’ve ever seen. The body lines match up perfectly. The paint, I can’t tell where the old ends and the new begins. The entire back end, trunk, bumper, rear quarter panel (cut and welded and blended) tail light, front bumper, and grill. All done looks and feels like I’m pulling it brand new off the lot. Not to mention they update you every couple of day through the entire process so you know where your car is and how it’s moving along. I can’t say enough about them.
