How we serve Hayward and the East Bay

Our Hayward shop sits in the Cherryland area on Western Blvd, right by the I-880 and CA-92 interchange, so the San Mateo Bridge and the wider East Bay are a short drive away. We repair cars for drivers across Hayward, including Mount Eden near Chabot College, Fairway Park, the Hayward Highland and Cal State East Bay area, and the neighborhoods around Southland Mall. San Leandro, San Lorenzo, Castro Valley, Union City, and Fremont are all close by. Commuting on I-880 or crossing the bridge on CA-92? Drop your car off on your way through, get your free estimate the same day, and we keep you posted by text or phone. We are open Monday through Friday, 9am to 5pm.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about collision repair, insurance, and what to expect at MTY Collision.

How much does collision repair cost?

It depends on the damage and your vehicle. Minor bumper and panel work often runs a few hundred dollars, while structural or multi-panel repairs cost more, and newer cars with sensors may need recalibration. The only accurate number is a free written estimate, and if you're going through insurance we deal directly with your adjuster.

Do I have to use the body shop my insurance recommends?

No. In California you have the right to choose any licensed body shop. Your insurer can suggest one, but can't require it or penalize you for picking us. We work with every major insurer and bill them directly.

Do you work with my insurance company?

Yes. We work with all major insurance companies, including AAA claims, and bill the insurer directly. We handle the estimate, photos, supplements, and paperwork for you.

You can also see our dedicated pages on GEICO insurance claims and AAA insurance claims.

Do you offer a warranty on your repairs?

Yes. We back our collision and paint work with a lifetime warranty for as long as you own the vehicle, covering the workmanship plus the paint and clear coat. It doesn't transfer to a new owner if you sell the car. Your estimator will go over the details when you drop off.

Do you use OEM (factory) parts?

When your policy and vehicle call for them, yes. We'll explain your OEM, aftermarket, and recycled options and what your insurer covers, and you can request OEM parts if you'd like to cover any difference.

Do you do mechanical repairs?

Only when they're caused by an accident. If a collision damaged your suspension, radiator, or alignment, we repair it as part of the claim. We don't do routine maintenance like oil changes, brakes, or tune-ups.

How long does collision repair take?

It depends on the damage. Bumper and small panel repairs usually take 2 to 3 business days; structural repairs with parts on order can take 1 to 2 weeks or more. You get a time estimate with your quote and updates throughout.

Do you repair Teslas and EVs?

Yes. We're EV-certified and regularly repair Teslas and other electric vehicles, including factory-matched paint and EV-safe repair procedures.

Do I need an appointment, and are you open on Sundays?

No appointment needed, just walk in during business hours, which are listed above for each location. Our Santa Clara shop is also open on Sundays, 10am to 5pm, one of the only Bay Area body shops open that day.

In California, you always have the right to choose your own body shop, not your insurer. Learn about your rights.
