Honest, Family-Owned Repair Since 1997
At European Automotive Collision Center, our family-owned team has performed auto body and collision repair since 1997. Whether the damage is a minor dent or major structural impact, we assess every vehicle carefully and walk you through the repair plan before any work begins. In California, you have the legal right to choose your own body shop — and we work with all major insurance companies, coordinating directly with your adjuster and handling the claim paperwork from start to finish, so you can focus on getting back to your routine.
Repaired to Factory Standards
Structural and frame damage is corrected to factory specifications — structurally sound and road-safe, not just cosmetically straight. We refinish with computerized color matching, run pre- and post-repair diagnostic scans, and back every repair with our lifetime limited warranty. We also have deep expertise with European vehicles (BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Porsche, Volkswagen) and electric vehicles including Tesla, which require specialized procedures. Located at 6191 Jurupa Ave in Riverside, we proudly serve Riverside and the surrounding Inland Empire.
