From the business
In the shop's own words: “A San Bernardino body shop, run by the family whose name is on the building”
Bates Auto Body has been repairing vehicles from our shop on West Mill Street in San Bernardino for years, and the people you talk to are the people who own the place. Brian Sr. and Brian Jr. Bates are here in the shop, and customers tell us the same thing again and again: honest answers, fair prices, and work that holds up.
Most of what we do is collision work. Someone runs a red light, an insurance company sends a customer our way, and a car that looked like a total loss goes home looking great. We handle the bodywork, the paint, and the panel repair, and we do it at a price people can live with.
We're a family business, and we treat repeat customers like family — some have been bringing vehicles to us for two decades, including a few who moved away and still drive back to San Bernardino for the work.
- Family owned — Brian Sr. and Brian Jr. Bates
- Insurance-referred collision work welcome
- Open Monday through Friday, 8AM–5PM
