The paint job they did on my Mazda was seamless! They did the job in a few days and called me when it was done. These guys were on top of it, great work.

I had a great experience with this body shop! They repaired my car quickly and right on schedule after my accident, and handled all the communication with the insurance company so I didn't have to stress about anything. They also provided me with a rental car - and even delivered it to me, which was incredibly convenient. I'm very happy with the service and highly recommend them to anyone!

Questions and answers

Is it better to repair or replace a bumper?

Scuffs, small cracks and dents in plastic covers can usually be repaired. A cover with broken mounting points or damage near radar sensors is usually replaced. We tell you which applies after seeing photos.

How long does bumper repair take?

Usually 1-2 business days, including paint. It takes longer if a replacement part has to be ordered or hidden damage is found behind the cover.

Can I choose this shop if my insurance recommends another one?

Yes. California Insurance Code 758.5 gives you the right to choose any repair shop. The insurer cannot require its own shop or reduce your claim because you chose us.

Do you help with the deductible?

On qualifying insurance repairs we help with the deductible, up to $1,000. Send photos or call and we will tell you whether your repair qualifies.

What warranty do I get?

A written lifetime warranty on body and paint work, valid for as long as you own the vehicle.

Can I get a rental car?

Yes. We arrange a rental through Enterprise and Hertz, with pickup or drop-off at the shop. Whether the insurer pays for it depends on your policy.
