“I went in there with uncertainty and walked out with a fixed truck and a preferred body shop. They treated me like family.”
Juan, RAM owner“… Went above and beyond even after they finished, they made sure to address my concerns.”

What happens after a crash
Get everyone safe, swap insurance information, take photos if you can, and call us at (510) 632-0993. If the car can’t be driven, see towing.
When the car gets here we look past the obvious damage to find what else the hit did, because a safe repair means fixing what’s underneath too, not just what you can see.
What we repair after an accident
- Front-end and rear-end damage: bumpers, hoods, trunk lids, fenders
- Side damage: doors, quarter panels, dents and creases
- Panels that need to be replaced, painted to match
- Structural damage: frame repair and panel alignment
- Paint: mixed to your color and blended in
The damage you can’t see
A hit pushes energy into the parts behind the panels: brackets, supports, the structure the panels bolt to. That damage often only shows once the car is taken apart. If we find more than the first estimate covered, we document it and work it out with the insurance company (or call you first if you’re paying), before doing more.
Insurance or out of pocket
We work with every insurance company and walk you through opening a claim. We also repair cars when there’s no claim at all: a high deductible, no collision coverage, or you just don’t want it on your record. See repair without insurance.
In California, your insurance company can’t require you to use a particular body shop. You choose where your car is repaired (California Insurance Code §758.5).
Backed for as long as you own the car
Every repair comes with our lifetime warranty, good for as long as you own the car. The way we put it: we don’t warranty the vehicle, we warranty you.
Quick answers
Do I have to use the body shop my insurance company recommends?
In California, your insurance company can’t require you to use a particular body shop. You choose where your car is repaired (California Insurance Code §758.5).
How much does collision repair cost?
It depends on the damage, including what’s hidden behind the panels. We can ballpark from photos, and give you the exact price once we see the car in person.
Can you help if the other driver was at fault?
Yes. We work with every insurance company, including the other driver’s, and we’ll help you through the claim.
What if you find more damage after you start?
We document it and work it out with the insurance company, or call you first if you’re paying yourself, before doing more.
