What happens after an accident

Most people only deal with a body shop once or twice, so here is how it goes with us. Text a few photos of the damage and your VIN to Stan's cell. The VIN is on your registration, on your insurance card, or on the driver side of the dashboard where it meets the windshield. We look at the photos and send back a free estimate.

If insurance is paying, we take it from there. We talk to the adjuster, and when we take the car apart and find damage that didn't show in the photos, we write a supplement and get it approved. If your policy has rental coverage, we set up a free rental through Enterprise or Joy Rental Car so you're not stuck without a car.

Cars we fix

All makes. On a normal week you'll see a Civic and a Camry parked next to a Tesla, a BMW and an Audi. We are certified for collision repair on FCA vehicles (Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram), Kia, Hyundai and Genesis, and our techs are aluminum-trained for the Tesla, BMW and Audi bodies that use a lot of it.

The work covers bent frames and structural damage, bumpers and panels, paint matching, broken windows, and the light mechanical stuff that often comes with a hit, like alignments, brakes and suspension.

How we do the work

We put the frame on the measuring system and bring it back to factory spec before any paint goes on. We use OEM parts. Paint is mixed to the factory color code and blended into the panels next to the repair, so the new paint doesn't stand out as a different shade when the car is parked in the sun.

Every repair comes with our 1 year / 10,000 mile workmanship warranty. If something we did isn't right, bring it back.

Text photos of the damage and your VIN to (310) 801-2929. Estimates are free. You can also bring the car to the shop Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm.

Do I have to go through insurance?

No. You can pay for the repair yourself or run it through your insurance. Either way, the estimate is free and you see it before we start.
