Under California Insurance Code §758.5 an insurance company cannot require that an automobile be repaired at a specific repair shop. However, an insurance company can recommend that an automobile be repaired at a specific repair shop. There is a formula for figuring out if your car is a total loss. The Formula to figure out if a car will be a total loss: Cost of Repairs + Salvage Value, if that sum is greater than the Actual Cash Value, the vehicle is considered a total loss.

In 1984, Bernie Gates' dream of opening a body shop became a reality when he and his wife Laurie opened Prestige Auto Collision in Mission Viejo. The shop consisted of 1 building on a sleepy street lined with shops servicing the car industry. They would see many businesses come and go. Prestige would weather many storms and continue to steadily grow. The business would expand, taking over the lot. Utilizing 4 buildings and over 40,000 sq. ft. of secured facilities. This would only be the beginning and the company would expand to include Prestige South and Fabricante. The business continues to employ many members of the family from grandparents to grandchildren.
Recently just had my Mercedes GLS450 repaired here after an accident. They did an amazing job! So attentive to details and kept me apprised of the status the whole time! I appreciate that they were so detailed oriented! The customer service was impeccable and their shop is so clean! Will definitely bring my car here again should I need any work done!

This place was a perfection and went above what was expected! They had to fix minor damage to the back bumper from a car accident. They completely cleaned the disaster inside of my vehicle too (side note:that was caused by children NOT the accident lol). My van looks amazing and new

Yay Prestige!

I can't say enough about how polite and thorough this shop is. I had a grapefruit size dent in my hood after an object hit me on the freeway. Rob was the only person who confidently told me he could fix it and for cheaper than two other shops. He also got the job done in less than 2 days and took the time to show my kids the vintage cars in the back. The receptionist is lovely as well. This isn't a 'certified' Tesla repair shop but they know what they're doing and don't price gouge you because you drive a Tesla! Fantastic customer service and a great shop overall!

Prestige Collision South repaired a deeply scratched bumper on my Porsche Cayenne. From the initial quote with Rob to the scheduling of the job with Shelly, everything was handled in the most up front and professional manner. In addition, Rob offered to give me a lift to my office in the area. They are caring, and do exactly what they say for the price quoted. Oh, and the work was meticulous! I highly recommend them.
