MTY Collision shop

In Palo Alto a collision can happen on the busiest stretch of El Camino Real, on a side street near University Avenue downtown, or on your way onto US-101. When it does, you want a proper collision shop, not a quick fix, and one that is fluent in the electric and luxury cars that fill Palo Alto driveways.

That is what MTY Collision does. Our flagship shop is at 1415 Laurelwood Rd in Santa Clara, a straight shot down US-101 from Palo Alto, about 25 minutes away, and we are EV certified, so a Tesla or an EV gets the correct repair and an exact factory color match. We are a dedicated auto body and collision repair shop, not a general garage, and collision work is all we do.

The process is simple. Bring us the car, or let us tow it in, and you get a free estimate, your insurance claim handled directly with the carrier, factory quality paint, and updates by text or phone until it is ready. No appointment is needed for an estimate, and we speak English and Spanish.

How we serve you

Reaching us is straightforward. From Palo Alto, our Santa Clara shop is a direct run down US-101, about 25 minutes, so your car is repaired at a full collision center rather than whatever is closest. For a car worth doing right, the short drive is worth it.

If your car is not safe to drive after a collision, we offer free towing from Palo Alto to our Santa Clara shop when you have your repair done with us. One call and we arrange the tow, so you are not paying out of pocket to move a damaged car.

Once it is with us, the insurance headache is ours, not yours. We work with all major insurance companies and bill the insurer directly, writing the estimate, documenting the damage with photos, handling supplements, and taking care of the paperwork. Drop off is flexible: come by Monday through Saturday, and since our Santa Clara location is the only MTY shop open on Sundays, from 10am to 5pm, Palo Alto drivers with weekday jobs can still get an estimate on the weekend. We keep you posted at every stage, and your repair is backed by our lifetime warranty on workmanship, paint, and clear coat (non-transferable).

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