Exotic & high-end collision specialists · I-CAR Gold Class
The Leading Auto Body Shop
in El Cajon & San Diego, CA
Collision repair, frame straightening and PPG paint for everything from exotics to daily drivers. We handle the insurance side for you, with free tow pick-up and a loaner car on insurance claims.
Your insurance company can suggest a shop. You get to choose one.
Under California Insurance Code §758.5, no insurer can require you to repair at a specific shop. Bring your claim to us and we handle the carrier, the paperwork and the supplement negotiations while your car gets repaired to factory standards.
Free tow pick-up
We pick the vehicle up from the accident scene, tow yard or your driveway at no charge.
Loaner vehicle
Stay on the road while your repair is in progress.
Options, not upsells
Paying yourself? We walk you through the repair options and quote each one, so you choose what fits.
We work with every insurance carrier.
Yours, the other driver’s, or none at all. These are the carriers we see every week — if yours isn’t here, we still take it.
Everything between the accident and the keys back in your hand.
Collision repair
Fender-benders to major impact. Disassembly, hidden-damage teardown, OEM-procedure repair.
Frame straightening
Measured and pulled back to factory spec on a Celette Smart Rhône bench.
Paint & refinishing
Color-matched, blended and baked in a climate-controlled booth. Luxury and exotic finishes welcome.
Dent repair
Paintless dent removal for door dings and hail; traditional repair when the paint is broken.
Bumper repair & replacement
Plastic welding and refinishing, or a new part when the damage goes deeper. Sensors checked.
Panel replacement
Doors, fenders, quarters, hoods and trunk lids fitted to factory spec and blended to match.

A 2025 BMW XM, straight off the tow truck.
Rear-end impact: bumper torn off, quarter panel and flare damaged, and an insurance claim to get through. This is the part people stress about, so here is how the intake actually goes — any make, high-end or daily driver, any carrier, with an in-house loaner so you keep moving while we work.
