What we work on
- 01
Collision repair
A check-engine light or a strange noise gets traced to its actual source before anyone recommends a repair.
- 02
Brakes
Pads, rotors, and calipers inspected and replaced with the worn part in your hand so you can see the wear yourself.
- 03
Engine repair
From a rough idle to a real mechanical fault, diagnosed with the vehicle on the lift rather than a guess over the phone.
- 04
AC service
System checked for leaks and pressure, recharged or repaired depending on what's actually wrong, before the next hot week hits.
- 05
Smog & inspection
Testing and prep so the vehicle passes what it needs to pass, with any failing item explained beforehand.
- 06
Suspension & alignment
Steering pull, uneven tire wear, or a rough ride checked and corrected on the alignment rack.

- 02Worn parts shown before they're replaced

Show, don't just tell
You see the worn or failed part before it's replaced, not just a line item on paper.
Diagnose before quoting
Nothing gets quoted for repair until the actual cause has been confirmed on the vehicle.
Answer the phone, answer straight
Questions about a quote or a repair get a direct answer, not a runaround.
The sign out front says Auto Body & Paint for a reason
Miramar Auto Body sits in a working shop yard off Stromesa Court, the kind of place with sun-bleached stucco, a lift running most hours, and cars in different states of undone. Under that red and yellow sign, the work is explained before it's started: what's actually failing, what it takes to fix it, and what can reasonably wait. Customers have pointed to that directness for years — a straight quote, a reasonable answer on the phone, work that gets done right instead of just fast. That's still how the shop runs.
“I cannot speak highly enough of the people and work performed at Miramar Auto Body. Charles and crew did a fantastic job on fixing the dents on my Ford Ranger pickup.”
last year
“Habieb and his team are great! He’s very kind and personable and was very reasonable with the quote, and even did some work for free on my BMW.”

“I am a very satisfied customer of owner Habieb and his staff at Miramar Auto Body. They replaced my car's front bumper and one of headlamps after a minor accident.”

Questions
Will you tell me if something can wait?
Yes. Once we've diagnosed the issue, we'll tell you plainly what's urgent for safety and what's something you can put off. The decision is yours; our job is to make sure you're deciding with accurate information.
How do you handle an estimate?
We inspect or diagnose first, then quote based on what we actually find, not a generic price for the symptom. If the job turns out bigger once we're in it, we'll tell you before continuing, not after.
How fast can I get in?
Call and we'll work out timing based on what's wrong and what the shop's schedule looks like that week. Urgent issues, like brakes or something making a vehicle unsafe to drive, get prioritized in the booking.
