Helpful answers about auto body repair after an accident
What do I do if I have been in an accident?+
1) Stay calm and exchange insurance info if needed. 2) Call Denny's Garage at (650) 333-7008 with vehicle details, damage type, and insurance info. 3) If driveable, bring it to 147 S Maple Ave. 4) If not, we can help coordinate a tow. 5) We'll inspect, document, and keep you updated through the claim process.
Why should I call Denny's Garage?+
Family-owned since 1994 by brothers Chris & Ray. We specialize in body, paint, restoration, and custom exhaust. We work with insurance, give honest estimates, and treat every vehicle with old-school care — not a volume mill.
My insurance says I must use their shop. What do I do?+
In California, you generally have the right to choose your own repair facility. Insurance companies may recommend preferred shops, but you can choose Denny's Garage.
Will you work with my insurance?+
Yes. We work with major carriers and can help with documentation, estimates, and supplements. Call us and we'll walk you through opening or continuing a claim.
Are estimates final?+
Estimates from photos or over the phone are preliminary and subject to change after in-person inspection (and possible teardown on collision jobs).
