Getting Heard on Yelp: Tips From Our Long Beach Auto Body Shop.
We love hearing from our customers especially when they're happy with the collision repairs to their car. We get lots of great feedback in our customer surveys, emails notes and Yelp reviews. Unfortunately not all Yelp reviews make it on to our page. We thought that was weird and investigated to find out why. We found out about the Yelp Filter. It's why a lot of our reviews are down the bottom of our page and filed under 'not currently recommended'. We have over 40 reviews +

If you know how to use your car's mirrors the right way you will have a much better chance to avoid an accident.

Long Beach collision center offers tips on the best cars that make it to 200,000 Miles
We see plenty of these cars here in our auto body shop. In fact we've repaired hundreds of Toyota Prius and Camrys as an example. There's a reason whey there are so many of these on the road and many of our customers keep them in great shape when they drop their cars off for collision repairs. Anyone can keep a car that will make it to 200,000 miles with enough money. But these cars are safe and reliable in the first place and just need proper maintenance for the long haul. J

A new driver on the road can be a danger and can mean a trip to the auto body shop. If you're a parent of a newly licensed driver or as a motorist who’s unsure of how new drivers will react in a dangerous situation, it can be a bit worrying.

Sometimes 'fender benders' cause more damage than you think
The term 'Fender Bender' sounds innocent enough, but it doesn’t always represent the damage that can be caused to your vehicle. Especially in a place like Long Beach where there seem to be more cars and freeways than people. It’s nearly impossible to drive a car here without coming away with minor damage - and sometimes major auto body repairs. The damage on this Jeep doesnt look like much but resulted in over $11,000 in damage including body, frame, mechanical and alignment.


Holiday driving nightmares
With little more than two weeks until Christmas, the holiday shopping season is picking up. This means more traffic and more accidents.
