Collision and Auto Repair for Castro Valley Drivers

Collision Repair Worth the Trip Down Foothill

It is worth passing a closer body shop for what you get here. Our collision center holds I-CAR Gold Class certification, a standard roughly the top 20 percent of shops nationwide meet, and every collision repair carries a lifetime warranty. We repair with OEM parts, measure frames on computerized equipment, refinish with eco-friendly water-based paint, and calibrate ADAS cameras and sensors in house instead of sending your car somewhere else.

We work with all major insurers, including State Farm, Geico, Progressive, Allstate, USAA, Farmers, and more, and we bill them directly so you are not fronting the cost of the repair. If your car is not drivable after a hard hit on I-580 or at a Castro Valley Blvd intersection, call us and our 24/7 towing can bring it straight to the shop.

Maintenance for the I-580 Commute

The daily run over the hill on I-580 toward Dublin and Pleasanton is stop-and-go most mornings, and creeping down the grade in traffic is exactly the kind of driving that cooks brake pads and works cooling systems hard. Our ASE-certified technicians handle brake service, oil changes, transmission service, batteries, and factory scheduled maintenance, using OEM-spec or premium aftermarket parts backed by a 12-month or 12,000-mile parts warranty.

If you park at Castro Valley BART and mostly drive evenings and weekends, short trips are still hard on oil and batteries. Right now we are running a $69.88 plus tax oil change and 15 percent off alignments; details are on our specials page.

Canyon Roads Wear Brakes Faster

Castro Valley sits against real hills. The climb up Redwood Road toward Lake Chabot, the curves on Crow Canyon Road, and the narrow bends of Palomares Road all wear brakes faster than flatland driving and knock alignments out sooner than the maintenance schedule assumes. If the steering wheel sits off-center after a pothole on Crow Canyon, or the pedal feels soft coming down from the park, have us look at it. We measure pad thickness, rotor condition, and alignment angles and give you numbers, not guesses.

Getting Here from Castro Valley

Take Castro Valley Blvd west to Foothill Blvd, follow Foothill south to A Street, turn right on A Street, then right on Mission Blvd. We are about half a mile up at 22101 Mission Blvd, Suite A. From the east side of town, take I-580 west to the Redwood Road or Castro Valley Blvd exit and work your way over to Foothill from there. Either way it is about 10 minutes from Castro Village.

We are open Monday through Saturday, 9:30 AM to 6:00 PM, and closed Sunday. Walk in for an oil change or a quick check, or send photos through our online estimate form before you make the trip so we can tell you what the repair involves.
