Yes. We're about fifteen minutes from Beverly Hills, and we offer free pickup and delivery - we collect your vehicle from your home or office and return it when the repair is finished. Most Beverly Hills customers never drive to the shop at all.
That's most of what we do. We're factory-certified for 20+ brands and equipped for aluminium bodywork, advanced driver-assistance recalibration, and factory-matched refinishing - the requirements that come with newer European and performance vehicles.
No. Under California law the choice of repair shop is yours, not your insurer's. Your carrier can recommend a shop, but they cannot require one. We work with every major carrier, handle the claim paperwork, and bill your insurer directly - you pay only your deductible.
It depends on the damage and parts availability. A bumper or minor panel repair is typically a few days; structural work or repairs waiting on factory parts take longer. You get a timeline with your estimate, and we tell you as soon as anything changes.
Yes. Send photos from your phone and get an estimate in about two minutes, or we can look at the vehicle in person. No obligation either way.
Yes - our repairs carry a written warranty, and we use factory parts and factory-approved refinishing so the repair matches the rest of the vehicle.
