Doors, hoods, fenders, trunk lids, and tailgates may be repaired, adjusted, or replaced depending on damage and fitment.

Welded Panels

Quarter panels, roof sections, and some structural panels may require cutting, welding, bonding, corrosion protection, and refinishing.

Panel Alignment and Gaps

After repair or replacement, the shop checks body lines, gaps, latch operation, trim fit, and panel transitions.

Refinishing and Blending

Panel work often requires color matching, clear coat, and blending into adjacent panels for a consistent finish.

When Your Vehicle Needs Repair

Your vehicle may need this service if you notice:

door, fender, hood, trunk, or tailgate damage
panel gaps changed after an accident
a panel is kinked, torn, rusted, or misaligned
paint is cracked, chipped, or exposed to metal
latches, handles, or windows do not work correctly after impact
multiple panels were damaged in one collision

Repair or Replacement

Panel repair may be possible for dents, scratches, and minor deformation. Replacement may be needed when the panel is torn, kinked, stretched, corroded, previously over-repaired, or tied to a structural repair area. The final decision is based on inspection and repair procedures.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After my Genesis was involved in an accident, I started searching for a body shop near me and quickly realized that finding the right repair facility is important. Since my vehicle is leased, I wanted to make sure it was repaired properly and according to OEM repair procedures. The last thing I wanted was to have issues when returning the vehicle at the end of the lease because repairs had not been completed to manufacturer standards. After speaking with several collision repair shops, I chose The Body Shop Collision Repair, and I’m very happy I did. One of the reasons I felt comfortable moving forward was that they are insurance approved and OEM certified. They explained the repair process in detail, answered all of my questions, and made it clear that quality and safety were their priorities. The team worked directly with Progressive Insurance and handled most of the communication for me, which made the entire process much less stressful since I’m not a fluent English speaker yet. Throughout the repair, they kept me informed and were always available whenever I had questions. I would also like to personally thank Francisco, for the outstanding customer service. Francisco was incredibly friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. What impressed me most was learning that he has specialized education in the automotive industry. As a customer, it gives you a lot of confidence knowing that your vehicle is being repaired by people who have special training and truly understand modern vehicle repair, OEM procedures, safety systems, and manufacturer requirements. When I picked up my Genesis, the results exceeded my expectations. The paint match was flawless, the body lines looked factory-perfect, and there was no indication that the vehicle had ever been involved in an accident. Most importantly, I left knowing that the repairs were completed correctly using OEM procedures and OEM parts whenever available. If you’re looking for a body shop near me, collision repair near me, Genesis collision repair, auto body repair in Los Angeles, insurance-approved body shop, OEM-certified collision center, or a repair facility experienced with Progressive Insurance claims, I highly recommend The Body Shop Collision Repair. Thank you to Francisco and the entire team for making what could have been a stressful experience incredibly easy. The professionalism, communication, craftsmanship, and attention to detail were exceptional. Hopefully I won’t need collision repairs again anytime soon, but if I do, I know exactly where I’ll be bringing my vehicle.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had help from Arsen and Francisco, can recommend to my friends and family, and know they will be in great hands. Someone hit my wife's car while it was parked. The shop helped us, it was a 2-day turnaround time. Delivered before, and it looked like nothing happened to the car. Paid out of pocket because why involve the insurance when their price was very competitive. Brand new again! Thanks guys!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Arsen and his crew did an AMAZING job on my car. My rear bumper was coming off a bit and needed an adjustment and so I called them and they said they could do it for free. So I took it to this shop and they got it done for me in like 25 mins and wow is it perfect. They even had to take off the whole back bumper. After that I offered to pay and they kept their word and did the job for free. They did a 10/10 job and their service and attitude was so so good. Their wait room is also very clean and modern! The 30 minute drive was definetly worth it!! I am definetly coming back their crew and work are just amazing! 10000/10

FAQ

Can a damaged panel be repaired instead of replaced?

Often yes, but replacement may be needed for torn, kinked, stretched, or badly corroded panels.

Will panel replacement require painting?

Usually yes. Replacement panels normally require preparation, color matching, refinishing, and sometimes blending.

What is the difference between bolt-on and welded panels?

Bolt-on panels attach with hardware. Welded panels are part of the body structure and need more involved removal, joining, and corrosion protection.

Can aluminum body panels be repaired?

Some aluminum panels can be repaired, but the method depends on the panel, damage, and vehicle procedure.

Can panel damage hide structural damage?

Yes. Panel damage can hide damage behind the visible surface, especially near rails, pillars, or impact zones.
