Text (310) 801-2929 with photos and your VIN. Rather talk? Call (213) 734-2300

Talk to us in your language

The shop speaks English, Spanish, Korean and Portuguese. If Spanish is easier for you, call (213) 381-5501 and ask for Chris or Belther. For Korean or Portuguese, ask for Chris. You'll go over the damage, the price and the insurance claim with someone who explains it plainly.

That matters when you're dealing with an insurance company for the first time. We're a State Farm Direct Repair Program shop and Geico Drive-Thru approved, and we work with every other carrier, including Mercury, Wawanesa, Kemper, Progressive and 21st Century. We talk to the adjuster so you don't have to.

Paying cash instead

Not every repair goes through insurance. For a scraped bumper, a broken window or a dent you just want gone, you might rather pay for it yourself. That's fine with us. The estimate is free, so you can see the number and then decide.

The easiest way to get it is by text. Send photos of the damage and your VIN to (310) 801-2929. The VIN is on your registration and on your insurance card, or you can read it through the windshield on the driver side of the dashboard.

The work itself

Frame work, panel replacement and paint matching are done in the shop with OEM parts. We repair all makes and do light mechanical work too: alignments, brakes, suspension, AC and oil changes. Every repair comes with a 1 year or 10,000 mile workmanship warranty.

The shop is I-CAR Gold Class and certified for collision repair on Hyundai, Kia, Genesis and the FCA brands, which covers Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram.
