D&D Body Shop & Detail Club
Collision repair, paint, glass and detailing beside US-101 in San Mateo, founded in 2001.
About
D&D Body Shop & Detail Club occupies a lot on North Amphlett Boulevard in San Mateo, the frontage road that runs beside US-101 between Poplar Avenue and the Burlingame line. Jose Torres, the chamber's contact and owner, founded it in 2001 as a small detail shop in Burlingame; it later grew into a full collision facility and moved to the present address.
Collision and cosmetic work
- Collision repair, from parking-lot dents to structural damage
- Frame alignment on frame benches with measuring systems
- Paint and refinishing
- Dent repair
- Windshield replacement and window tinting
- Premium detailing packages, the "detail club" in the name
The shop says it works with all insurance companies, and its site lists manufacturer collision-repair programmes for Maserati, Ford, Alfa Romeo, FCA brands, Nissan, Genesis and Kia. Directory listings describe a focus on luxury and exotic cars, which fits that list, though everyday makes are the bulk of collision work at any shop of this size.
After an accident
Call before towing the car in, and have the claim number and the insurer's contact ready if there is one. California lets you choose your own repair shop, so if the insurer steers you elsewhere, ask the shop how it handles the adjuster's estimate and any supplement. Ask for a written estimate that lists original-equipment versus aftermarket parts, what the paint warranty covers, how long the repair will take and whether a rental car can be arranged. For detailing, ask what each package includes and how long the car needs to stay.
Service area
The shop names Belmont, Millbrae, Foster City, Redwood City, San Bruno, San Carlos and Palo Alto as its service area alongside San Mateo, and Burlingame and Hillsborough are minutes away by the frontage road.
Phone 650-348-6600 or see dndbodyshop.com; the shop is also on Facebook and Instagram.
Services
VerifiedRepairing accident damage from a crumpled fender to structural work, coordinated with the insurer's adjuster; the shop states that it works with all insurance companies.
Straightening a bent unibody or frame on a frame bench with a measuring system so the car tracks true and the panels fit again after a serious collision.
Refinishing repaired panels and full resprays with colour matching to the factory finish, the step that decides whether a repair is invisible or obvious in daylight.
Removing dings and dents from doors, hoods and quarter panels, whether by paintless dent repair where the paint is intact or by conventional body work where it is not.
Replacing cracked or chipped windshields and other glass, including recalibration questions on newer cars with cameras and sensors mounted behind the glass.
Applying window film within California's legal limits for front and rear glass, often booked alongside a detail or after a glass replacement.
Interior and exterior detailing packages, from a thorough wash and interior clean to paint correction, the service the "Detail Club" part of the name refers to.

Common questions
Typical for this type of businessCan my insurer make me use a different shop?
No. In California you may choose any repair shop; the insurer can recommend one but cannot require it. Ask the shop how it works with your insurer's adjuster and how supplements for hidden damage are handled.
How long will the repair take?
Minor cosmetic work can take a few days; structural repairs with parts on order can run weeks. Ask for an estimated completion date and whether the shop can help arrange a rental car meanwhile.
Original or aftermarket parts?
Insurers often specify aftermarket or used parts on older cars. Ask which are quoted, whether your policy lets you pay the difference for original parts, and what warranty applies to each.
Does a repaired car need an alignment or recalibration?
Frequently. Any frame or suspension work should end with a wheel alignment, and cars with driver-assistance cameras usually need recalibration after windshield or front-end work. Ask whether both are included.
Before you hire
- Ask for a written, itemised estimate and confirm how supplements for hidden damage are approved.
- Confirm you have chosen the shop yourself; California does not let an insurer require a particular one.
- Ask what the paint and workmanship warranty covers and for how long.
- Ask whether alignment and sensor recalibration are included after structural or glass work.
- Check the shop's Bureau of Automotive Repair registration, which must be posted.
