Auto Body & Collision Repair for Mission Valley

What We Repair for Mission Valley Drivers

A lot of Mission Valley damage comes from parking: crowded lots and garages at Fashion Valley, Westfield Mission Valley and Hazard Center, and tight apartment garages along Friars Rd and Camino de la Reina. Add merges at the I-8 and SR-163 interchanges and game-day traffic around Snapdragon Stadium, and you get bumper hits, door dings, sideswipes and rear-end collisions. We work on all makes and models.

• Collision repair from minor hits to structural damage, with computerized frame straightening
• Dents, dings and scratches, plus bumper scuffs and cracks
• Factory color paint matching: PPG paint mixed in our own paint mixing room, blended into the panels next to the repair
• Wheel repair and refinishing
• Sprinter, ProMaster and Transit van repair and refinishing
• Diagnostic scans before and after the repair, and a final quality control inspection

Garage dings and lot scrapes

Door dings, scuffed bumpers and scraped quarter panels are everyday repairs for us. For small damage like that, paying out of pocket can cost less than a claim. We'll tell you honestly, and you can send photos for an estimate before you come in.

Your Car, Your Choice of Shop

In California, you have the right to choose your own repair shop, even if your insurance company recommends another one. That matters after a lot or garage collision, when an insurer may push you toward its own network. Because we used to evaluate claims for large insurance companies, we know what an insurer needs to see, and we provide the documentation to back up the repair.

• We do our best to get your insurer to authorize OEM genuine parts, and if we can't, we do our best to price match them
• A lifetime workmanship warranty for as long as you own the vehicle, and we stand behind our work nationwide
• We work with all insurance companies, including GEICO, State Farm, Progressive, Allstate, USAA and Farmers
• Military and veteran discount: ask about saving money on your deductible

Insurance Company Says It's Totaled?

If your insurer says the car is a total loss, call us before you sign anything. We can arrange towing, store the car while the insurance company decides, coach you on the settlement offer, and tell you honestly whether a repair makes sense. On a 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLS450 4Matic, we worked with the insurance company and it reversed its total loss decision and paid for the repair. We can't promise that outcome on every car, but it shows why a second opinion matters. See our total loss help page.
