The future is NOW! With manufacturers incorporating increasingly complex systems—such as accident avoidance technologies—into their vehicles, the average “industry-standard” body shop is often not equipped or trained to restore your car to its true pre-accident condition. These advanced technologies are no longer limited to high-end models and have been required on every new car manufactured since 2023. That’s why choosing Philip Thearle’s Autowerks, a certified collision repair shop in Santee, CA, ensures your vehicle receives expert care with the proper equipment and trained technicians.
