The Lakewood Auto Body story beings many many years ago, and starts in the city of San Diego. Creighton Mueller grew up in the San Diego area and started working on rebuilding cars at a very early age. He was even privileged to get to work with automotive enthusiasts like Ed "Big Daddy" Roth and George Barris.
My Insurance company is recommending that I take my vehicle to an auto body shop that they "work with" and even have a recommended list that they want me to choose from, can I still bring my vehicle to Lakewood Auto Body? A. You have the right to get your vehicle repaired at any auto body repair shop that you want.
I was in a car accident last week, I had my vehical towed to this company. Now let me explain. I was pretty shaken up and I walked into the office and the receptionist was on top of the situation. The boss Rod, he was very courtious. He explained to me if I had any questions at ANY time to call him.
At Lakewood Auto Body, we offer a free complimentary auto detailing with every auto body repair job that we do. However this doesn't mean that you can't bring your car into us for a hand wash car detail if you need one. It can be very convenient if you are bringing your car in for some mechanical repair or maybe a tire alignment.
At Lakewood Auto Body, we not only are home to the best auto body repair in the state, but we combine that with a top of the line professional auto body painting shop. This allows us to complete all of your auto painting in the same building as we do your auto body repair in, ensuring that weather wont damage the exposed metal before we can get your car painting done.

They gave me an 11 day estimate but finished in 9. They were careful and cleaned everything up making it look brand new. David was phenomenal with keeping me updated and ensuring my needs were met. I hope i never need to have body work done again but if i do i am bringing my baby back here.

One of the best car repair experiences I've EVER had to-date. ALL staff polite, courteous, and knowledgeable. Problem; climate control assembly broke on a Mazda3. Mazda dealer repair estimate $3100.00. Lakewood Auto Body estimate $2100.00. The dollar savings is super. But, what clinched the deal for me was the OUTSTANDING level of communication provided by JAKE. ALL my questions answered, information provided that I didn't even know I needed. Communicated by email, and phone. Also, low fluid levels noted, Mazda dealer DIDN'T even mention, were taken care of after my consent. Finally, bill came

It was so wonderful to have my car serviced here. I literally dropped my car off on a Monday and it was done Tuesday as promised. My car had a huge dent and broken tail light and it looks brand new after the work done. So pleased with my experience and I will definitely use them again for all of my repair needs.

This place is great!! This is our second time using the shop and this time the repairs were being billed through an auto insurance because of an accident that was not our fault. Lakewood autobody made the entire process easy, like super easy. They went above and beyond with the entire service. Andy even met us at the shop after regular business hours to let us pickup our vehicle and return the rental to accommodate our own personal work hours. The staff and repair work has been top notch both times we have been here. I highly recommend Lakewood autobody.

Hit the side of my 2015 jeep cherokee trailhawk and the door had to be replaced. Lakewood Auto Body was one of the recommended auto body shops by Geico and we had an amazing experience! Looks brand new and the paint job is flawless. We were even able to pick it up 2 days earlier than expected and received text message updates on the status. Highly recommended!!! We will be using them for any future auto body needs

I would never recommend them or use them again. Terrible customer service! They kept my car for 2 weeks when they said the job would take 3-4 days. Everytime I called for update they said they would call me back and never did. Said my car was being painted several different times and it wasn't. They forgot to order parts that were needed. Originally quoted me approx $1400 and said when they took apart if there was damage they couldn't originally see it would only be about $100 more. When they took apart they said there was damage & my new estimate was over $1400 additional. And they couldn't get

It’s not very often that I’m impressed enough to write a review for a business. Customer service was exceptional, they were very polite and understanding to my situation. My car was finished at the time promised, the paint matched perfectly, and they even washed the outside and vacuumed the interior. They stayed in contact with me through the process and answered all of my questions tactfully. I was very happy with my overall experience considering the circumstance of having a minor incident with my car a few days earlier. Thank you to Rod, Eric, and GL for all of you kindness and professionalism
