“5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ so satisfied with my service done here! Everyone who worked here was so friendly and kind. They are priced extremely fairly - I came here after getting an estimate from a different auto body shop that felt inflated. Davey auto body literally did the job for half the price of this other auto body shop and came very highly Recommend and I now see why. Not only was the price fair, they did an excellent job!! Truman was so kind and also assisted with some scratches I’ve had on my car after driving by a bush years ago. This is where I will go from now on for all of my auto body needs and you should too!”
“I need an additional 2 stars for a total of 7 stars. Mike Davey and his crew are the best ive ever seen, in San Diego and probably one of the best on the entire West Coast. Work and service have always exceeded expectations; from exotic cars, regular cars, body panels, etc; hes always been my go-to guy for Any paint color you need or could hope for. I wont hesitate to proudly recommend them for any application!”
“My wife was recently involved in an accident in her 2024 Honda CR-V. After our insurance recommended their auto collision shops(which I know aren't always the best), I asked my mechanic at Auto Alignment Pluz(Chris Ramirez) in La Mesa, for a trustworthy and professional auto body shop that accepts insurance work. He strongly recommended, Davey Autobody in La Mesa. Mike Davey and the guys were courteous, empathetic, and above all, professional from beginning to end. They even detailed my wife's Honda CR-V inside/out, and covered until we picked it up. If you're looking for any type of auto body work. Go check out Mikey and the guys at Daveys Autobody. You will NOT be disappointed. Thanks again Mikey, and the crew for taking care of my wife's ride.”

“I've been driving over 50 years and have had 26 cars in that time. I've had plenty of experience with body shops over that time. Davey Auto Body is the best I've ever dealt with. Mike Davey is professional, knowledgeable, trustworthy and a nice guy to boot. I am 100% confident that the work will be done as well as it can be done. Need body work, normal or custom? I won't go any place else.”
“Dave fixed up my Ford Flex after my wife hit a coyote at 70 miles per hour. They fixed not only the body damage but under the hood parts as well. When I picked up the vehicle I was amazed at how well he had done with the car. No joke, the car looked new when he was done with it. I would highly recommend using Davey Auto Body for your next repair need. Don't go anywhere else.”
