Repaired, not replaced: when the panel can be saved
Our story
A shop built almost entirely on referrals
Sal has a mechanical engineering background and years of experience at large companies before opening his own shop on Kings Row in San Jose. That training shows up in how he works: he walks through the car with you, explains what he's seeing, and tells you what needs fixing today versus what can wait a few months.
Most of our customers arrive because someone sent them. People bring us second opinions after another shop quoted a full parts replacement, and more often than not, the panel can be repaired instead of replaced, for a fraction of the price. We handle insurance communication directly so you're not stuck in the middle.
We're open nine to seven, every day of the week, because cars don't break on a schedule.
- Mechanical repair and collision body work under one roof

What customers say
“Sal is great and so humble. He has knowledge of every car and always charge generously. I would recommend him for any repairs or services you may want to do, even if you buy a brand new car.”
“He analyzes your car with you and tells you what fixes to expect in the future, what you need now, and what you might need soon. He keeps in mind budgets and has been someone I have referred family and friends to for years. I crashed my car and other places suggested I get new pieces, Sal wielded my car back to normal for 1/10th of the price I was quoted at other places.”
“Great mechanic with good communication, timely repairs, and great results. I am so glad I brought my car to Sal for a second opinion for my car's damages. He helped so much with insurance communication and worked with my busy schedule. My car looked brand new and he even went the extra mile to clean the interior and exterior. The entire process was quick, easy, stress free.”
