S&R Motors - Collision Center & Service Center in Hayward, CA
About 20 minutes from Newark

Collision and Auto Repair for Newark Drivers

S&R Motors is at 22101 Mission Blvd in Hayward, about 20 minutes up I-880 from Newark. We run an I-CAR Gold Class collision center and an ASE-certified service center under one roof. If your car needs body work, a mechanical repair, or both after the same incident, one shop handles it start to finish.

Collision Repair That Makes the Trip Worth It

A rear-end hit merging onto I-880 at Mowry Avenue or a creased door from the NewPark Mall parking lot does not have to mean weeks of phone calls. If the car still drives, bring it up for a free written estimate. If it does not, towing is available 24/7 to Newark drivers, so a car that will not move after a crash on Thornton Avenue or Cherry Street can come straight to our lot while you go home.

We handle the insurance from there. We work with the major carriers, including State Farm, Geico, Progressive, Allstate, USAA, and Farmers, and we bill them directly. The work itself is the reason Newark drivers pass closer shops: I-CAR Gold Class certification (a standard roughly the top 20 percent of shops nationwide meet), OEM parts, computerized frame measuring, water-based paint, and in-house ADAS calibration. Every collision repair carries a lifetime warranty.

Maintenance for the Dumbarton Commute

Newark sits at the foot of the Dumbarton Bridge, and the CA-84 crawl to the Peninsula is hard on a car in specific ways. Stop-and-go traffic on the Thornton Avenue approach wears brake pads faster than highway miles do, and daily idling in that backup is rough on batteries and cooling systems. If the pedal feels soft or the car shudders when you slow for the merge, have us look at it before another Monday crossing. Our brake service starts with an inspection and a written quote before any work begins.

Routine jobs fit around a commuter's schedule. We are open Monday through Saturday, 9:30 AM to 6:00 PM, and walk-ins are welcome for oil changes and quick checks. Current specials include a $69.88 plus tax oil change and 15 percent off alignment, worth taking if 880's rough lanes have your steering pulling. Mechanical work carries a 12-month, 12,000-mile parts warranty.

Getting Here From Newark

From most of Newark the drive runs about 20 minutes. Take Thornton Avenue or Mowry Avenue to I-880 north, drive about ten miles, and exit at A Street in Hayward. Head east until A Street meets Mission Blvd, then turn left; we are about half a mile up at 22101 Mission Blvd, Suite A. If you would rather skip the freeway, pick up Mission Blvd in Union City and follow it north straight to our block.

Want numbers before you make the trip? Send photos through our online estimate form and we will reply with a real written figure. For scheduled work, call (510) 244-7184 or book online. If the car cannot make the drive at all, towing is available around the clock.

Teslas and EVs, Built Next Door

Newark is only a few minutes up I-880 from Tesla's Fremont factory, so we see a steady stream of Teslas from this side of the Bay. Body damage on a Model 3 or Model Y is not ordinary sheet-metal work: many panels are aluminum, and the cars depend on cameras and sensors that need recalibration after structural or glass repairs. We do aluminum repair with dedicated equipment and calibrate ADAS systems in house rather than subletting the job. We service more than 21 brands overall, from Honda and Toyota to Ford and Mercedes-Benz, so a two-car household only needs one shop.

Questions from Newark Drivers

Does your towing reach Newark?
Yes. Towing is available to Newark drivers around the clock. If the car will not drive after a crash, call us and we can bring it straight to our Hayward lot, then start the estimate and insurance paperwork while it sits with us.
Can you handle my insurance claim from Newark?
Yes. In California you choose the repair shop, not your insurer. We work with State Farm, Geico, Progressive, Allstate, USAA, Farmers, and other major carriers, and we bill them directly, so you are not stuck coordinating between the shop and the adjuster.
Is the drive from Newark actually worth it?
It is about 20 minutes up I-880. For that you get an I-CAR Gold Class collision center, ASE-certified mechanics in the same building, OEM parts on body work, and a lifetime warranty on collision repairs. If a crash caused both body and mechanical damage, one shop fixes all of it.
Do you work on my make?
Almost certainly. We service more than 21 brands, including Honda, Toyota, Tesla, Ford, and Mercedes-Benz. Collision work uses OEM parts; mechanical service uses OEM-spec or premium aftermarket parts backed by a 12-month, 12,000-mile warranty.
Do I need an appointment for an oil change?
No. Walk-ins are welcome for oil changes and quick checks, Monday through Saturday, 9:30 AM to 6:00 PM. The current special is $69.88 plus tax. Larger jobs are best scheduled by phone at (510) 244-7184.
