Acerca de
Auto Body Plus works out of unit 3 at 340 Kishimura Drive in Gilroy, in the southern end of Santa Clara County, with Hector Castellon listed as owner. The chamber files it under both auto body work and general automotive repair. This listing was compiled from public business records and is awaiting the owner's confirmation.
What a body shop of this kind usually handles
A business of this kind in Gilroy usually repairs the damage a collision leaves behind: crumpled bumpers and fenders, dented doors and quarter panels, scraped or faded paint, and bent frames or unibody sections that have to be pulled back to factory measurements. Paint is typically mixed to the car's colour code and blended into the neighbouring panels so the repair does not stand out in daylight.
Because this shop is also filed under automotive repair, it may take on some of the mechanical work that tends to follow a crash, such as suspension parts, cooling components or a wheel alignment. Shops differ, so ask which jobs are done in-house and which are sent out.
Getting a car repaired
California requires every auto repair dealer to register with the Bureau of Automotive Repair. Ask for the registration number and look it up at bar.ca.gov before leaving the car. You are entitled to a written estimate before work begins, and the shop needs your approval before going over it. If an insurer is paying, the choice of shop is yours; bring the claim number, the adjuster's name and photos of the damage. Ask whether the estimate prices original-equipment or aftermarket parts, how long the repair should take once parts arrive, what warranty covers the paint and the labour, and whether your policy pays for a rental while the car is in the bay.
South County and beyond
From Gilroy the shop is a practical choice for drivers in Morgan Hill and San Martin, and a longer trip for those coming from San Jose, Campbell, Los Gatos, Saratoga or Cupertino. Gilroy sits at the rural southern edge of Santa Clara County, and a local body shop spares South County residents a long drive north for estimates, supplements and pickups.
Call 408-843-0044 to ask about an estimate; the number comes from the imported record and has not yet been confirmed. If you are Hector Castellon, you can claim and correct this listing through the chamber.

Preguntas frecuentes
Típico de este tipo de negocioHow does a body shop estimate work?
The shop inspects the damage, photographs it and writes an itemised estimate of parts, labour and paint. Hidden damage often appears once panels are removed, so a supplement to the first estimate is common on insurance jobs.
How long does a collision repair take?
Small dent and paint jobs can take a few days, while structural repairs can take weeks, mostly depending on parts availability and insurer approvals. Ask for an estimated completion date and how updates will be given.
Will the repair use original or aftermarket parts?
Estimates can list original-equipment parts, aftermarket copies or used parts. The choice affects fit, cost and sometimes your insurance payout, so ask the shop which ones the estimate assumes.
Can I choose my own body shop if insurance pays?
Yes. In California an insurer may recommend a shop but cannot require you to use one. Tell the adjuster which shop you have chosen and give the shop your claim number.
