 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently went through an auto claim with California Collision through Mercury Insurance for my Chevy Silverado truck, and they did an amazing job. Their attention to detail was top-notch, and Ted’s customer service skills are number one. They have a fantastic team all around. I highly recommend them if you ever have them as an option!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Don and the team at California Collision were amazing. I brought my car in for an out-of-pocket dent repair, and they gave me the lowest price out of four different quotes. Their initial estimate ended up significantly underestimating the amount of work required, but even though the repair took three to four times longer than expected, they still honored their original quote.

Communication was great throughout the entire process, and most importantly, the car looks fantastic. They did an excellent job on the repair itself. I’d highly recommend California Collision for their fair pricing, communication, integrity, and quality of work.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. California Collision Center really came through for me on a last-minute need. I was dealing with this crazy sensor that was constantly going off, causing my car to auto-emergency brake. They were able to get the vehicle in and fixed all within the hour while having great customer service. They’ve definitely earned a customer for life.

ALL FAQS →

Can I choose California Collision Center instead of my insurer’s suggested shop?

Yes. In California, you have the right to choose your repair facility. Your policy and insurer determine coverage, deductibles and payment; we can help document and explain the repair operations.

Do you work with my insurance company?

We work with many insurers, including claims outside direct repair programs. Our team can review the estimate, document hidden damage, discuss needed supplements and help coordinate the repair. Program participation differs by location and may change.

How accurate is an online photo estimate?

Photos help start the conversation, but they often cannot show damage behind covers, panels, structural components or electronics. A final repair plan may require teardown, scanning, measurements and authorization.

Do you use original equipment manufacturer (OEM) repair procedures?

Repair planning includes vehicle-specific OEM repair information when applicable, including sectioning and joining methods, corrosion protection, one-time-use components and electronic system requirements.

Will my car need an ADAS calibration?

It depends on the vehicle, damage and procedures. Repairs affecting cameras, sensors, mounting points, suspension, glass or alignment may require calibration or initialization. We check the manufacturer’s requirements for the specific repair.
