Free collision repair estimate in Los Angeles
Had an accident? Getting a free collision repair estimate from us takes a few photos and your VIN. Text them to Stan's cell or upload them below, and we'll work up the estimate from there. There's no charge and no obligation.

Two ways to send it
Texting is usually quickest. Send your photos and VIN to (310) 801-2929, which is Stan's cell. Stan Suh owns the shop, and his family has run it on this corner of Western Ave since 1988.
If you'd rather not text, use the upload form on this page. You can also drive in to 150 S Western Ave, between 1st and 2nd Street, Monday to Friday from 8am to 5pm, and we'll look at the car in person.
What to send
The more we can see, the closer the estimate will be to the final repair.
- Photos of the damage from a few angles: one from a few steps back showing the whole side or corner, then closer shots of each dent, scrape, or crack
- A photo of anything that's leaking, hanging loose, or lit up on the dashboard
- Your VIN, so we can look up the exact parts for your car
- If you're going through insurance: your insurance company and claim number, if you have one yet
Where to find your VIN
The VIN (vehicle identification number) is 17 letters and numbers. It's printed on your registration and on your insurance card. You can also find it on the driver's side of the dashboard, where the dash meets the windshield. Look through the glass from outside the car and take a photo of it.
A photo of the VIN works fine. You don't have to type it out.
If you're going through insurance
We work with every insurance company. We're a State Farm Direct Repair Program shop and Geico Drive-Thru approved, and we also work with Farmers, Allstate, Progressive, AAA, Mercury, USAA, and the rest. We deal with the adjuster and handle supplements if hidden damage turns up. If your policy includes rental coverage, your rental car is free while we work.
Haven't filed a claim yet? Send the photos anyway. Seeing a shop estimate first helps you know what to expect when you talk to your insurer. We speak English, Spanish, Korean, and Portuguese.

FAQ
Questions people ask
Is the estimate really free?
Yes. Estimates are free, whether you text photos, upload them, or bring the car in. You're under no obligation to do the repair with us.
Do I need to file an insurance claim before getting an estimate?
No. You can get an estimate first and decide afterward. If you already have a claim, include the insurance company and claim number with your photos.
