Garren's Auto Body has been restoring vehicles for Marin County drivers since November 2010 — and the owner, Garren, brought over 19 years of prior body shop management experience to the business before opening his own. That's 25+ years of total industry expertise applied to every vehicle that comes through our doors at 107 Jordan St, San Rafael. We work on all makes and models, from daily commuters to Teslas, fleet trucks, and everything in between.
Our process is designed to take the burden off you:
Our collision repair services cover the full spectrum of damage:
In market after market, customers come to Garren's after getting quotes elsewhere — and leave with a significantly lower number. As one reviewer put it:
"The Tesla approved place I went to quoted almost double what Garren quoted me… He knew how much I was getting reimbursed by insurance, and still quoted me less than that amount. That's honesty!"
— Beth L., Yelp
We only charge for what is required. No upselling, no surprises. The quote you receive on day one is the price you pay.
Trusted by hundreds of Marin County drivers — here's what our track record looks like.
These are real words from real customers — no scripts, no incentives.
No appointment needed. Walk in anytime during business hours (Monday–Friday, 7:30 AM–4:00 PM) and we'll assess your damage and give you an accurate quote on the spot. Many customers have parts pre-ordered before they even drop off their vehicle.
Yes — all of them. We handle the entire insurance claims process on your behalf, including all communication and paperwork. As one customer put it, Garren dealing with the insurance company saved them from "a total headache." You stay informed and give final approval before any work begins.
Turnaround depends on the extent of the damage, but we're known for working quickly. Some jobs are completed within 24 hours or less; more extensive repairs (like a Tesla rear tailgate) have been completed in 4 days. We routinely finish ahead of schedule.
That's our standard. We specialize in panel-to-panel paint blending so repairs are completely undetectable. Multiple customers describe picking up a vehicle that looked "brand new" or "like it just came off the showroom floor." Our work is guaranteed.
We offer shuttle service and have provided loaner cars to customers in the past. Loaner availability may vary — call us at (415) 456-5000 to confirm current options. In situations where a loaner isn't available, we've assisted customers in getting rental costs reimbursed through their insurance claim.
