Services
The shop's work centers on body repair, paint, and alignment. The shop doesn't publish prices, so every job starts with the shop taking a look and giving you the number itself.
Paint work
Paint and refinishing for repaired panels and accident damage. Some listings know this shop as "Charlie's Auto Body & Paint" — same shop, same address.
Wheel alignment
Alignment work for vehicles pulling to one side or wearing tires unevenly — including after collision repairs, when the wheels often need to be brought back in line too.

How a request works
1
Tell the shop what happened
Pick a service, describe the damage, and choose a day and time window that suits you.
2
Send it your way
The builder creates a complete request with a reference number. Email it to the shop, or call and read the reference number out.
3
The shop confirms
Nothing is booked until Charlie's confirms with you by phone or email. No payment is taken on this site, ever.
Request an estimate or appointment
Four short steps. At the end you'll get a finished request with a reference number to email or call in.
Please note: this form does not book an appointment and does not take payment. It prepares a request for you to send — the shop confirms your time by phone or email.
Questions
Does sending a request book my appointment?
No. The builder only prepares a request with a reference number. Email it to charlieautobody@yahoo.com or call (951) 343-0487 and quote the reference — the shop then confirms your time by phone or email. Nothing is booked until they do.
Can I pay or leave a deposit here?
No — this site never takes payment. Any payment is arranged directly with the shop.
How much will my repair cost?
The shop doesn't publish prices, and body-work costs depend on the damage, so no honest number can be given sight-unseen. Send a request or call, and the shop will look at the vehicle and give you its estimate.
What are the shop's hours?
Monday to Friday, 10 AM – 6 PM; Saturday, 10 AM – 3 PM; closed Sundays. Holiday hours can differ, so it's worth a quick call before a long drive.
