Factory-quality paint at a fraction of the insurance shop price

Our story

A neighborhood body shop on East 12th

We're a body and frame shop on East 12th Street in Oakland, and we've built our reputation one repair at a time. Customers come to us with scraped bumpers, creased fenders, rusted door hinges and faded paint, and they come back, because the work holds up and the price is fair.

A lot of what we do is the work other shops won't quote reasonably. A two-inch scrape doesn't need a four-figure estimate. Our customers regularly tell us we came in at a fraction of what an insurance body shop wanted, and that the finish looks factory.

We'll also tell you straight what happened to your car and why. If a hinge failed because of how your driveway sits, we'll say so. That kind of answer doesn't cost anything, and it's why people send their family here.

  • Same-day turnaround on most paint work
  • Far below insurance body shop pricing
  • Body, frame and full repaint under one roof

What customers say

“Prices are very good! I paid $200 for this repair, meanwhile others quoted $600+. Great for older cars where you need a repair at a reasonable price. Very easy to deal with and quick turnaround.”

Setu Upadhya

“I've 5 paint jobs from this shop for scrapes on the bumper or fender, and one where the fender needed body work. Obviously I like the work or I wouldn't keep coming back. Usually same day turn around unless you have body work. Far far cheaper than any insurance body shop, and the work is great.”

Damien Katz

“They fix my old sienna door for rusty rotted hing(inside the door). When my sis gave me a ride to pick my car. She see how good the workmanship n how reasonable the price are. She had her Lexus repaint by them. It looks like she just brought a new car! She got a good price on the paint job also.”
