Auto Body & Collision Repair for Tierrasanta

What We Repair for Tierrasanta Drivers

Tierrasanta is a neighborhood of families, commuters and military households, with curving residential streets, cul-de-sacs and canyon edges. The repairs we see from here are mostly family-car damage: a bump backing out in a shopping center lot, a scrape on a sloped driveway, a door caught on a garage frame, or a rear-end hit in commute traffic on I-15 or SR-52. Many of those cars are SUVs and minivans with cameras and sensors that need care during a repair. 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

Military and veteran discount

Active duty military and veterans can ask about saving money on their deductible. It's our way of saying thank you, and it applies whether you're stationed nearby or retired here.

A neighborhood with a past

Much of Tierrasanta sits on land that was once part of Camp Elliott, a military training area used from 1917 to 1960. The community was founded in 1971, and Mission Trails Regional Park is right next door.

Newer SUVs often need ADAS calibration after a repair. We run pre- and post-repair diagnostic scans and a quality control inspection before we hand back the keys. See repairs by make.

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. 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. Military families with USAA, GEICO or any other insurer get the same right.

• 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

Our San Diego auto insurance claim guide covers supplements, aftermarket parts and diminished value in plain English, and our insurance claim assistance page explains how we work with your insurer.

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.
