Our story

A Salinas body shop built on repeat customers

Fender Mender Autobody is an independent collision and paint shop on Sherwood Drive in Salinas. Emmanuel handles the repair work, Mary walks you through what your vehicle needs and what it will cost, and the two of them keep the process straightforward from drop-off to pickup.

Most of the cars in our shop belong to people who have been here before. Customers tell us they've brought three vehicles through over the years, and some have been coming for more than two decades. That kind of return business is the only advertising we've ever needed.

We're open Monday through Friday, 8 to 5. Call ahead, bring the car by, and we'll tell you honestly what it takes to put it right.

  • Collision, body, and paint work under one roof
  • Emmanuel on repairs, Mary on estimates and updates
  • Rated 4.6 stars by Google reviewers
  • Family-run and independent, right on Sherwood Drive
