Where California Auto Body and Frame works

Lists Frederick, Roosevelt, National City, and San Diego as a location. Names California and San Diego as a service area. Areas beyond these are not published.

Prices

California Auto Body and Frame publishes no prices on its website. There is no price list, no hourly rate, no labour rates, no fees and no example cost for any repair, paint or frame job. What the site does publish is how to get a quote: estimates are free, and the About Us page lists "FREE over-the-phone estimates" among the benefits of using the shop. The About Us page also states that "All estimates are done on the premises, and no appointment is necessary except for frame inspections." The insurance page repeats "FREE over-the-phone estimates! Call 619-477-9141." So a customer gets an estimate by calling 619-477-9141 or bringing the vehicle to 1921 Roosevelt Avenue, National City.

The About Us benefits list also names MILITARY DISCOUNTS and rush repair options. The size of the military discount is not published; the frame repair page says "To receive your military discount, give us a call at 619-477-9141."

On warranty, the site states "LIFETIME WARRANTIES on all auto body and paint work" and "MANUFACTURERS' WARRANTIES on OEM parts." The refinishing page words it as lifetime warranties "on all its services." The written terms, duration, coverage limits and exclusions of these warranties are not published, and the shop should be asked directly for them.

On credentials, the site says the work is performed by "certified technicians" and that the business has been in operation since 1987, family owned and operated. It does not name any specific certification — there is no mention of I-CAR, ASE or any OEM certification programme anywhere on the site — and it does not publish a California Bureau of Automotive Repair (BAR) licence or ARD registration number.

Auto body refinishing and vehicle painting

California Auto Body and Frame offers auto body refinishing and vehicle painting at its shop at 1921 Roosevelt Avenue in National City, CA. The refinishing page addresses damage described as "that scratch, ding, dent, or damage on your vehicle" and says that "Vehicle painting and refinishing is truly an art. Matching the exotic finishes found on many of today's vehicles requires special expertise in application techniques." It states that the shop's "trained technicians use state-of-the-art equipment to make your vehicle look like new again."

On warranties, the refinishing page states that the business "offers LIFETIME WARRANTIES on all its services" and that customers "will also receive MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTIES depending on the company." The site does not publish the written terms, duration, transferability or exclusions behind those warranty statements, so the specific warranty conditions have to be confirmed with the shop.

Alongside refinishing work, the page says customers can count on the shop "for towing, rental car arrangements, and courtesy shuttle services" during a repair.

The page carries a general marketing line, "California Auto Body and Frame will beat other prices," and mentions military discounts, but it lists no price, no rate and no fee for any paint or refinishing job, and it gives no cost estimate. It also does not say how long a paint or refinishing job takes. To get a quote or an estimate for refinishing work, or to book an appointment, the page directs customers to call 619-477-9141 or stop by at 1921 Roosevelt Avenue.

Auto frame repair and structural work

California Auto Body and Frame performs auto frame repair at its National City, CA shop. The frame repair page explains the approach: "The frame of your vehicle is like the foundation of your home. It's imperative that it's strong and precise before anything can be built or repaired around it. Metal repair and replacement is a critical phase." It states that the shop "makes it a point to use original replacement parts and factory-approved repair procedures" and that "All necessary corrosion protection procedures are used to meet or exceed factory corrosion warranties."

The page says the team has "over 25 years of experience in the auto refinishing industry" and "offers fair and competitive pricing for both large and small jobs," but no prices, rates or fees for frame work are published anywhere on the site. The page invites customers to call for a FREE estimate, and mentions a military discount available by calling 619-477-9141.

One booking detail is specific to frame work: the About Us page states that "All estimates are done on the premises, and no appointment is necessary except for frame inspections." A frame inspection therefore needs an appointment to be scheduled in advance, while other estimates do not, according to the site.

The page also states that "The safety and reliability of your vehicle is the number one concern" and that the shop "is fully equipped with state-of-the-art vehicle repair equipment." It does not publish a repair timeframe for frame work. To schedule a frame inspection or ask about the cost of a specific repair, contact the shop at 619-477-9141.

Insurance claims, car rental, parts and towing during a repair

California Auto Body and Frame's insurance page describes how the shop handles claim paperwork. It states: "California Auto Body and Frame will work with your insurance company to get rid of the hassle of insurance claims. Give us all the necessary information, and we'll efficiently take care of the paperwork for you." It adds "All insurance companies and estimates are welcome" and "Your insurance company can't force you to go where they want. You can choose the auto body shop of your own preference."

The site does not name any individual insurance company, does not publish a list of insurers it is contracted with, and says nothing about whether a particular claim, repair or cost will be covered. Coverage is decided by the insurer, not by the shop, so a customer should confirm their own claim details with their insurer and with the shop on 619-477-9141.

On car rental, the page for that service says the team "can arrange a car rental for you so you're not without transportation" and that "Most rental rates are in accordance with your insurance company allowances.
