From our San Mateo shop we serve drivers across the Peninsula: Burlingame, Foster City, Belmont, San Carlos and Redwood City.
We are right in downtown San Mateo on South B Street, a few blocks from the Caltrain station and easy to reach from US-101 and CA-92. Peninsula drivers bring us their cars from Hayward Park and the Central Park area, from Baywood and Aragon, from Shoreview near Coyote Point, and from the Hillsdale area around the shopping center and College of San Mateo. Burlingame, Foster City, Belmont, San Carlos, and Millbrae are all a short trip away. Whether you take El Camino Real or come off US-101, drop your car off downtown, get your free estimate on the spot, and pick it up looking like the accident never happened. We are open Monday through Saturday, 9am to 5pm.
Common questions about collision repair, insurance, and what to expect at MTY Collision.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Yes. We're EV-certified and regularly repair Teslas and other electric vehicles, including factory-matched paint and EV-safe repair procedures.
