Cloudy headlights? Clear them up.

Faded, yellowed lenses make night driving harder and make a good car look tired. Headlight restoration takes about an hour.

Our story

From Raul’s garage to Daniel’s shop

Raul's Auto Body was established in 1983 by Raul Delgado Lopez, who started out working from his home garage before renting a shop space to officially open the business.

Recognized for quality work and great customer service, the shop grew on referrals and long client relationships. Today it is being passed to his son Daniel, who runs it as an owner-operator with the same values his dad built it on: integrity, ownership and passion.

  • Family owned since 1983
  • Owner-operated
  • Built on referrals
  • A proud part of Chula Vista’s history

“I love the close relationships we have with our clients, and I feel they appreciate being able to work directly with us as owner operators.”

“

These guys are very quick and professional, and they don't try to price gouge. They gave me a really good deal, and also they were friendly and courteous. It's a small family owned business, which I'd rather give money to over a dealership or some other price gouging place any day.

Raul contacted the insurance adjuster to get the estimate and got the supplement payment approved for my headlight fast. I made an appointment for a Monday and picked it up on Friday as promised, Very good quality work.

Raul was very polite and kind and reassured me he would fix my car ASAP. He ordered the part and by Monday he was ready to install, paint, and install it. I am so so glad I found him.
