You have the legal right to choose your repair facility. Your insurer can suggest shops, but in California they cannot require you to use a “preferred” shop.

Century 1^st Auto Body works with all carriers and is already on many direct‑repair programs. Simply tell your adjuster you’ve chosen us—we’ll handle the rest, from digital estimates to supplements and billing.

One call solves everything. Towing, paperwork, and rental car are arranged for you.

We’re insurance‑approved and use OEM procedures, so your factory warranty stays intact.

Faster turnaround: average collision repair completed in 2‑7 days.

Lifetime warranty and 1,300+ five‑star reviews prove our commitment to quality.

If you’ve just had an accident, call (310) 751‑7497 and let us handle the rest.

Insurance premiums depend on the type of claim you file:

Collision – covers damage from hitting another vehicle or object. Any at‑fault collision claim can raise rates.

Comprehensive – covers fire, theft, vandalism, fallen branches, etc. Because you are not at fault, these claims rarely increase premiums.

Before you decide, our advisors at Century 1^st Auto Body & Paint can review your situation and help you weigh out‑of‑pocket versus opening a claim. We work with every major carrier and know exactly how each handles rate adjustments.

Call us 24/7 at (310) 751‑7497 for free guidance.

Definitely. We work with every major insurance carrier every single day.

We create a detailed photo estimate and submit it electronically.

Our team negotiates any supplements directly with the adjuster to ensure all hidden damage and OEM parts are approved.

We keep you updated and never perform work that isn’t authorized.

You pay only your deductible when applicable, and we bill the insurer for the balance.

Yes. Whether the rental is billed to your insurance policy or you’re paying directly, we coordinate with Enterprise™ and have the car waiting when you drop off (or when your vehicle is towed in). No extra phone calls or rideshare required.

If you’re not at fault, the other party’s carrier typically covers rental costs for the duration of repairs. Our team will confirm coverage and set everything up for you.
