Body Worx Collision provides collision and auto body repair for Sacramento drivers and surrounding communities. Our technicians repair damage ranging from dents, damaged bumpers, exterior panels, and paint damage to structural and unibody repairs requiring professional measuring, welding, paint matching, and refinishing equipment.
As an I-CAR Gold Class facility, we develop each repair plan around the vehicle’s damage, applicable manufacturer repair information, and the procedures needed to restore proper fit, finish, function, and structural integrity.

Covered workmanship is backed by a written lifetime warranty for as long as you own the vehicle.
Types of Collision Damage We Repair
Collision damage can affect more than the parts visible from outside the vehicle. Body Worx Collision evaluates the visible damage, develops a repair plan, and inspects for additional damage that may become apparent during disassembly.
Dents and Exterior Panel Damage
We repair dents, creases, scrapes, and damaged exterior panels caused by minor accidents, parking incidents, road debris, and other impacts.
Automotive Paint and Color Matching
Our refinishing process includes surface preparation, computerized color matching, paint application, clear coat, polishing, and quality-control inspections to restore a consistent appearance.
Bumper and Impact Damage
Bumper damage may involve the bumper cover, reinforcement components, mounting points, absorbers, lighting, sensors, and nearby body panels. Our team evaluates the affected area before determining the appropriate repair procedures.
Aluminum, Fiberglass, and Advanced Materials
Modern vehicles may use aluminum, high-strength steel, fiberglass, composites, and other specialized materials. Repair procedures are selected according to the affected component and applicable manufacturer guidance.
Frame and Unibody Damage
When a collision affects the vehicle’s structure, professional measuring and repair equipment may be required. We perform frame and unibody repairs based on the vehicle’s damage and applicable manufacturer repair information.
Post-Collision Scanning and ADAS Coordination
Modern vehicles may require diagnostic scanning or advanced driver-assistance system procedures after collision repairs. When required, our team identifies applicable needs and coordinates scanning or calibration services as part of the repair process.
Insurance Claim Assistance
You have the right to choose the collision repair facility that repairs your vehicle. Body Worx Collision works with customers and insurance carriers to help document the damage, prepare repair estimates, and communicate changes that may arise during disassembly and repair.
Before Repairs Begin
Our team can review the visible damage, prepare a preliminary estimate, and explain the information your insurance company may request. Bring any claim number, insurance estimate, adjuster contact information, photographs, or other documents you have received.
Supplemental Damage
Some collision damage may not be visible until damaged parts are removed. When additional damage is discovered, we document the findings, prepare a supplemental estimate, and communicate with the insurance carrier before proceeding with the related repairs.
Parts, Approvals, and Updates
Insurance review, parts availability, and supplemental approvals can affect the repair schedule. We keep customers informed as the repair plan develops and provide updates when important changes occur.
Your Repair-Shop Choice
An insurance company may recommend a repair facility, but California drivers are not required to use a specific shop. Our team can answer questions about the repair process while you remain in control of where your vehicle is repaired.
Our Collision Repair Process
Every collision repair begins with an assessment of the visible damage and the information available at that stage. As the vehicle moves through estimating, disassembly, structural and body repair, refinishing, reassembly, scanning, calibration, and final inspection, the repair plan may be updated to address additional damage or manufacturer-required procedures.
