Did you know that when it comes to your insurance coverage, you the consumer have specific and guaranteed rights? Most of these rights are not covered in an insurance policy's fine print. That is correct, there are a number of things that your insurance company does not want you to know because it would mean that they would have to pay out more for repairs.

Let's face it, San Diego auto body repair can be overwhelmingly expensive! In fact, even a seemingly minor accident can result in repair bills that take your breath away. It is SO tempting to raise your collisions deductible from $500 to $1,000. With the lower monthly premiums it is easy to think that you'd be able to save up a little extra in case the deductible came to more than that.

As I think back over this year on Thanksgiving and what businesses I'm thankful for and recommended to friends that I could review this place came first to mind. Benny is the most competent and knowledgeable and Benny Jr is the most personable and continuing to improve the business and succeed with great customer service at such a competitive price. Thanks again and I will continue to recommend even though I know business is almost too good since you do such a perfect job

Benny is a dope dude w a kind heart, great work, and affordable prices. My family was in a bind and needed to drive a Cadillac a few hundred miles and he made sure it was safe and reliable, and the pricing was beyond better than anywhere else. If you need auto body work, he is honest and extremely fair. I have already recommended him to friends. Thanks Benny!

My 2009 Prius and 2009 Honda CRV were showing their age. Scratches and dents all over the place. Benny was understanding, knowing that I had a budget and wanting to do the best he could to make our cars look like new. He did it! Most auto body shops had either blown me away, or quoted me exorbitant prices. Benny is a delight and an asset to our lives.

The Benny reviews are true. All five stars and so is mine. Not much to say. I met the family. Great people. Great service. Dropped the Camry off on Friday. Done fast the next Thursday. Perfect repair. Body work on trunk lid and rear bumper, nice shiny paint all super professional. No orange peal, no overspray. Great price. Highly recommended.

Don't waste any more of your time reading reviews. Take your car to Benny's. After an accident (not my fault) in my Lexus 350RX, the others driver's insurance company evaluated my car and sent me a check for $699 to cover the repairs. HA! Fat Chance! Benny repeatedly contacted the insurance company with the evidence and information to prove the additional and actual cost of repairs. Front bumper, fender and headlight were replaced or repaired and look brand new.
In addition, I had a previous "ding" on the opposite side of my front bumper that I asked Benny to fix. He had

I have been working with Benny for over 15 years. He has done at least 10 or 12 different jobs for me (my family likes to bump into things) and he has always done outstanding work at a reasonable price and stood solidly behind what was done. He has become a friend over that time. His son now has a large role in running the company and my good experiences extend to working with his son as well. I just dropped off my son's classic BMW to repair the back of his car that was rear ended. I am 67 and have dealt with thousands of companies in that time, and Benny's is in my top 3. I cannot recommend

Benny Sr gave me an incredible price to have work done on my tacoma. Originally I went elsewhere but they estimated me at 525 dollars for some scratches on a panel by the bumper on the driver side of my truck. Benny Sr did it for less than half of that! And they did a terrific job as well. They washed my truck for me too lol and when I dropped my truck off benny gave me a ride to the trolley when he asked me how i was getting home (told him I was taking the trolley all the way to chula vista). They do all the little things for ya that most places wouldnt do. So thanks benny! I appreciate the fair

There absolutely are not enough words of praise that I can say about Benny and his team members. I was recently involved in a hit and run rear end accident. Almost 4,000.00 in damage so it was not a fender bender per se. Benny had replaced some pen stripping on my car a couple of months ago and I was very happy with not only the price, but the quality eye to detail. When I told my insurance representative that I wanted to take it to Bennys Auto Body his face literally beamed and he said, "you could not have made a better choice." Benny will take care of you and any worries you

Benny did an extremely professional job in repairing my 2008 Mazda Tribute--better than new! All done timely and at a fair price. Trustworthy, honest and easy to work with, Benny's is where I will always go when my vehicles need body work. Now, when I'm asked I know of a good Auto Body Repair place, I will always recommend Benny's Auto Body!

This is the second time I have used Benny's Auto Body repair shop (two not at-fault accidents just a few months apart - first with damage to the front bumper, and the second with damage to the back bumper!) and I am happy to report while I don't want my car to be back in the shop any time soon, Benny is just a nice, personable guy; he did a GREAT job listening to my concerns, dealing with insurance, and making my Subaru look great! He did go the extra mile!

First I want to recognize this shop for excellent customer service. Benny brought and picked me up after I left my car there. They did a great job on my car and was 30% less than the other shops. Me being a woman thought "here's another mechanic taking advantage" I was wrong. Ladies I totaled recommended this shop.

This is a trustworthy, legit business that does great work at competitive prices. We took our then-year-old SUV here a few years ago after it was stolen and recovered with some sideswipe damage. It wasn't a huge repair (insurance estimated it $2K, I think), but we needed it to be done right without getting

My experience at Benny's renewed my faith that there are still honest businesses that provide exceptional work at great prices. The auto body repair was done quickly and ready when Benny said the job would be completed. The work was flawless!!! This is a father/son business operated with integrity. I highly recommend them. I was totally impressed with my experience at Benny's.

This is my favorite body shop in San Diego. Benny is super honest and really affordable. He charged me less than half of what other body shops quoted me to paint my hood. I told him it was okay NOT to paint match the fenders (blend the color of the hood with the rest of the car) since I was on a budget, but he did it anyways for free! I drive a lowered car, and he painted and touched up the scratches on the front bumper for free too. I paid an additional fee and he helped me fix random components around my car that would've cost me 3x to fix anywhere else. He truly went above and beyond my
