Every California auto body shop must be registered with the Bureau of Automotive Repair. Look up the shop on the official DCA license search ↗ (choose “Automotive Repair Dealer”). Certifications, warranty and insurance wording as published by the shop — source ↗, checked 2026-10-28. OEM programmes cover specific makes; confirm the certification is current for your vehicle.

Before you hand over the keys, ask.

Four questions that tell you a lot about a body shop. A good shop will answer them plainly.

  1. Are you certified for my car?Ask about I-CAR training and a factory certification for your make — it matters most for EVs, aluminum bodies and cars with driver-assistance sensors.
  2. Which parts will you use?OEM, aftermarket or used. Your estimate and final invoice should say which, and California requires the invoice to name non-OEM crash parts.
  3. What does the warranty cover?Ask for the workmanship and paint warranty in writing, and what it excludes.
  4. How long, and will I have a car?Ask for an expected timeline, how you’ll get updates, and whether they can help with a rental through your insurer.
