Expert Collision Repair

Following an accident, your vehicle may need more than cosmetic body work. Structural components, mechanical systems, exterior panels and advanced safety technology may all be affected—even when some of the damage is not immediately visible.

Philip Thearle’s Autowerks provides full-service collision repair in Santee, CA, for drivers throughout San Diego County. Since 1983, we have approached collision repair with the precision and attention to detail originally developed through our work restoring luxury and classic vehicles.

Today, that commitment continues through an OEM-focused repair process designed around the specific requirements of each vehicle.

Complete Auto Body and Collision Repair Services

Our collision repair process begins with a detailed assessment to identify visible damage and uncover concerns hidden beneath exterior panels.

Depending on the vehicle and extent of the damage, the repair plan may include:

Vehicle disassembly and damage analysis
Body panel repair or replacement
Bumper and fender repair
Structural measuring and alignment
Mechanical repairs related to the collision
Automotive painting and refinishing
Diagnostic scanning
Advanced safety system calibration
Final assembly and quality inspection

Our technicians consult manufacturer repair information and use equipment, materials and techniques selected for your vehicle’s construction. When applicable, we also work directly with your insurance provider and keep you informed as the repair progresses.

Before your vehicle is returned, the completed work undergoes a thorough quality review focused on fit, finish, function and overall repair quality.
