Heritage and Professionalism for 70 Years

Terry’s Auto Body has Three Generations of Collision Repair Expertise in Oceanside, CA

Family Owned & Operated  Since 1956

Terry’s Auto Body has been proudly serving the Oceanside and surrounding community since 1956, when founder Jim Terry opened the shop with a simple mission:

To provide high-quality auto body repairs and treat every customer with honesty and respect.

  • What began as a small local body shop has grown into one of Oceanside’s longest-standing collision repair businesses, trusted by generations of families throughout North County San Diego.

  • Terry’s Auto Body is not just a local repair shop but a staple in San Diego’s North County community.

  • We work with all major insurance companies and have developed relationships over the past years that make your collision repair process as seamless as possible.

As the Body Shop celebrates 70 years of Business in 2026,

our team continues to carry forward Jim Terry’s legacy… 

Quality Workmanship, Trusted Service, and Dedication to Community.

Over the decades, Terry’s Auto Body has continued to evolve with the automotive industry—adopting modern repair techniques, advanced paint systems, and the latest collision repair technology—while maintaining the craftsmanship and attention to detail that Jim Terry built the business on.

When retirement came for Jim, he didn’t just sell it off; he passed the company to his 3 sons to ensure the community would have a collision repair shop that upheld his core values.

To this day, 70 years later, the company is still owned by the Terry family, with Corey Terry committed to carrying on what his grandfather started and stood for.

Today, Terry’s Auto Body remains committed to providing professional collision repair and expert paint services in Oceanside and all of San Diego County.

What Our Happy Auto Body Repair Customers Say

I can’t recommend Terry’s Auto Body highly enough. Every step of my repair on my brand new Hyundai Ioniq 6 was taken care of by them. They walked me through the process, helped arrange a rental ASAP, and worked with my insurance. If you ever need a repair big or small please consider Terry’s.

I had an absolutely fantastic experience at this collision repair center! From the moment I walked in, the staff was warm, welcoming, and genuinely friendly. They took the time to explain the repair process clearly and answered all of my questions without making me feel rushed.

The quality of the work was outstanding — my vehicle looks as good as new! The attention to detail and craftsmanship truly exceeded my expectations. You can tell they take pride in what they do and stand behind their work.

The entire process was smooth and stress-free, which made a potentially frustrating situation so much easier to handle. Communication was excellent throughout, and everything was completed on time.

If you’re looking for professional, high-quality repairs with a positive and friendly team, I highly recommend this collision repair center. I wouldn’t hesitate to return if I ever needed their services again!

Subaru-Certified-Replair Customer Review

Jill S.

Last month, I was rear-ended in my first-ever collision, and I called my dealership, who directed me to Terry’s for the repair— I couldn’t be more grateful that this is the shop that took care of me and my car.

From Glynn’s guidance at the front desk helping me through all the admin steps, to Juan and his team providing a thorough and complete repair (and absolutely seamless repaint ✨) and Melanie’s communication with updates along the way, I was in good hands from start to finish.

Thank you endlessly to everybody on the team; I am so happy with results and I would easily choose Terry’s Auto Body & Paint every time.

My truck got side-swiped so of course, I took it to Terry’s. Why? Because I know they’re locally owned and have been a staple in the city of Oceanside for my whole life…

Family vibe as soon as I walked in. I don’t remember names, but the lady up front took care of me so quick. She took my truck in and had the rental car place there to pick me up within minutes. It was a perfect experience. While they had the truck, they handled everything with my insurance and kept me updated regularly on the status along the way. Final result? Got my truck back looking like brand new again. They fixed the dents, got scratches out, and repainted to the exact color. Even threw a new step-ladder on there. Along with all of the other safety details… I’m happy, and even more, grateful to have Terry’s Auto Body take care of my truck when I was in need. Thanks to the whole team!
