Your vehicle has been in a collision, now what?

No.

In California, you have the legal right to choose your own repair facility. Your insurance carrier can recommend a network shop, but they can't force you to use one. The relevant statute is California Insurance Code §758.5.

If you'd rather have us do the work, just tell your adjuster. We'll coordinate the estimate and the claim with them directly.

Because the first few hours after a crash set the tone for the whole repair. We can walk you through what to document at the scene, arrange a tow, get the car into the shop, and start the claim with your carrier — all in one phone call.

Once the car is here, the same person you spoke to follows the job through. No re-explaining the situation to four different people.

It depends. Comprehensive claims (hail, theft, vandalism, animal strikes) typically don't raise your rate. Collision claims can, depending on fault, your driving history, and your specific policy.

If you're not sure, call your agent and ask before filing. They'll tell you exactly what a claim would do to your premium.

Yes. We work with every major carrier and most of the smaller ones — GEICO, State Farm, Progressive, Allstate, Farmers, USAA, Liberty Mutual, AAA, and more. We handle the estimate negotiation, supplements, and paperwork so you don't have to be the middleman.

If your policy includes rental coverage, yes — we'll coordinate timing with the rental agency so you're not waiting around. If you're paying out of pocket, just let us know up front and we'll plan the drop-off and pickup so you minimize rental days.

We're a Sacramento body shop. We work on daily drivers, weekend cars, restorations, and the occasional project that follows someone home from a barn. The shop runs on one rule: do the work the way the manufacturer intended, and keep the customer in the loop while we're doing it.

Yes — we back every paint job with a lifetime workmanship warranty for as long as you own the vehicle. Mechanical and structural work carries a written warranty appropriate to the repair, which we'll go over before the job starts.
