What we do
Crashed it?
Or just need brakes?
Either way, you’re in the right place. Half this shop puts cars back together after an accident. The other half keeps them running. Most body shops treat mechanical work as an afterthought. Here it’s half of what we do, so your car leaves straight, painted and mechanically sound without a second stop.
Collision & Body
Put right after an accident
From a scraped bumper to frame and structural work, measured back to factory specification and refinished with computer-matched paint.
Mechanical Repair
Kept running day to day
A full mechanic shop for everything that isn’t a dent: diagnostics, brakes, tires, AC and the routine maintenance that keeps the car out of the shop.
Roughly a 50 / 50 shop

On work you’re paying for yourself, tell us your budget and we’ll tell you honestly what we can do within it, and what can safely wait.

The part people dread
We deal with
your insurer.
You’ve just been in an accident. The last thing you need is a claim to project-manage. We write the estimate, send it to your adjuster, and handle the supplements if we find hidden damage once the panel is off.
And you choose the shop, not your insurer. They can recommend. They cannot require.
- 01You call us, or have the car towed straight here.
- 02We inspect the damage and write a full estimate.
- 03We send it to your adjuster and agree the scope of work.
- 04We repair, refinish and color-match the vehicle.
- 05You collect it in pre-accident condition. We keep the paperwork.

Questions
Before you call
Do you sell auto parts?
No. Wu's Auto Center is a repair and body shop. We don't sell parts to the public. We do source and fit the parts your vehicle needs as part of a repair we're carrying out.

Yes. We work directly with all major insurance companies on collision and accident claims, write the estimate, submit it to your adjuster and handle the paperwork and any supplements.
Can my insurer make me use their body shop?
No. Your insurer can recommend a shop, but the choice of who repairs your vehicle is yours. Tell them you're taking it to Wu's Auto Center and we'll handle it from there.
Do you do mechanical repair as well as body work?
Yes. It's roughly half of what we do. Engine and check-engine diagnostics, brakes, tires and alignment, AC, battery, electrical, exhaust, steering, suspension, radiator and transmission.
