Insurance
Works directly with your insurance company to streamline the claims process.

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.
