Call NowAuto Body Shop Marin County

A few months back, a Mill Valley driver took a bad hit on Sir Francis Drake Boulevard — a deer ran across the road right after the curve out of Lagunitas. The front end of his Range Rover was a mess. He had never filed an auto body claim before. By the time he left our shop on Verdi Street, his rental was arranged, his insurance claim was open, and he had a clear timeline for when his car would be back, better than new. A neighbor in Mill Valley had told him to call us. That is how it happens here.
That is what Anthony's Auto Craft has been doing for Marin County drivers for over 50 years. We are not a faceless chain. We are a Marin shop where Anthony himself still walks the floor every day — and where the team knows your car is not just transportation. It is how you get your kids to school in Tiburon, how you commute over the Richmond–San Rafael Bridge, and how you feel pulling up at the Larkspur ferry terminal on a Tuesday morning.
When something goes wrong with it, you want it fixed by someone who gives a damn. That is us.

What We Do
From a parking-lot door ding outside Strawberry Village to a full collision rebuild after a Highway 101 accident — every job gets the same level of precision.
01
When an accident happens on US-101, the Richmond–San Rafael Bridge, or anywhere across Marin, our collision repair team assesses every panel, structural component, and system. We restore your car to factory spec — not just cosmetically, but structurally.
02
Fenders, doors, quarter panels, plastic bumper repair, panel replacement, and aluminum body repair on Tesla, Range Rover, Mercedes, and Audi. We use OEM parts where the warranty calls for them and high-grade aftermarket only when it makes sense for you.
03
Our downdraft booth uses computerized color matching with a spectrophotometer. Whether you need a single panel sprayed or a full body repaint, we mix the exact factory color for your vehicle's year, make, and model. The result is a seamless, invisible repair.
04
The fastest, most affordable fix for door dings from the Tiburon ferry parking lot, hail dimples after a North Bay storm, or shopping-cart dents from Strawberry Village. We massage the metal back into shape with no filler and no repaint.
05
A vehicle with a bent frame is unsafe — and most drivers cannot tell after a moderate collision. Our laser-measured frame benches catch every millimeter of deviation and bring structural geometry back to OEM specs. Frame repair is the foundation of every proper collision job.
06
Bumper damage is the most common auto body repair we see in Marin. A slow parking-lot impact can crack a plastic bumper in seconds. We repair or replace front and rear bumpers using OEM-quality parts and finish them to match your paint perfectly.
07
Marin has a strong classic car community. From a partial repaint on a 1965 Mustang in a Kentfield garage to a full body restoration on a 1960s European roadster from Tiburon, we treat every classic car as the irreplaceable piece it is.
08
After a rare North Bay hail storm or a long Highway 1 drive that picks up rock chips, we handle every kind of cosmetic damage. Shallow scratches polish out through paint correction. Deeper scratches get filled, primed, and blended invisibly.
09
Every collision repair pickup at Anthony's already includes a complete inside-and-out detail — no paint dust, no tape residue, no plastic still on the seat. Paint correction, headlight restoration, and full concierge service available as standalone work.
How It Works
Most people have never been through a collision repair before. Here is exactly what the process looks like at Anthony's Auto Craft.
01
Drop by or call. We inspect the damage and give you a written estimate — usually same day. No pressure, no surprises.
02
We deal directly with your adjuster. We have worked with every major California carrier — State Farm, AAA, Allstate, USAA, and more.
03
Our certified technicians get to work. You get updates throughout — no guessing when your car will be ready.
04
We walk through every repair together before you take the keys. We do not close a job until you are fully satisfied.
Roads We Know by Heart
Marin is one of the most beautiful places in the country to drive — and one of the most punishing on a car. We have repaired thousands of vehicles hit on every one of these roads. We know the kinds of damage each one tends to cause, and we know the right repair process for it.
Rear-end collisions in stop-and-go traffic between San Rafael, Larkspur, and the Waldo Tunnel — the most common job we see.
Deer strikes and shoulder slides on the stretch from Fairfax through Lagunitas to Olema. We handle the front-end and radiator work in-house.
Foggy curves through Muir Beach, Stinson Beach, and Bolinas — paint and panel work after slow-speed scrapes and rock chips.
Tight switchbacks and bicyclist traffic on the climb above Mill Valley. Bumper and quarter panel work after low-speed tap-ups.
Wildlife crossings and blind curves between Marinwood and Nicasio Reservoir. Common deer-strike and run-off-road repairs.
Rear-end and lane-change collisions on the eastbound approach during commute hours. Insurance handling and rentals coordinated on site.
Local Knowledge
Marin sits at a strange crossroads. To the south, the Golden Gate Bridge and the daily grind of Highway 101 commuter traffic. To the west, two-lane mountain roads winding up Mt. Tamalpais and out to the coast at Stinson Beach and Point Reyes. To the north, agricultural West Marin where deer crossings on Sir Francis Drake and Lucas Valley Road are part of the regular drive. To the east, the Richmond–San Rafael Bridge feeding traffic into the entire Bay Area. Living in Marin means knowing a good auto body shop before you need one.
Neighborhoods like Mill Valley, Ross, and Kentfield run on long commutes into San Francisco, which means more highway miles and more exposure to freeway accidents. Tiburon and Sausalito drivers deal with tight street parking and the dings that come with it. In Fairfax, Lagunitas, and the West Marin coastal towns, winding roads and steep driveways present their own hazards. Whatever part of Marin you call home, we are the shop that handles all of it.
Insurance
We handle the hard partFiling an auto body insurance claim can feel overwhelming, especially right after an accident. You are dealing with a stressful situation, and now you have to deal with phone trees, adjusters, and repair timelines.
At Anthony's Auto Craft, we have processed thousands of claims with California's largest insurers — State Farm, AAA, Allstate, Farmers, USAA, Liberty Mutual, Geico, Mercury, and others. We advocate on your behalf so your car gets fully repaired, not just patched to the minimum the insurer wants to pay for. We file the claim, send the photos, and write the supplements when an adjuster misses something.
You have the legal right to choose your own repair shop in California. Don't let an insurance company steer you to their preferred shop. Choose the shop that serves your community.
EV Repair
Tesla, Rivian, LucidMarin has one of the highest electric-vehicle adoption rates in the country. Half of every block in Tam Valley, Strawberry, or Terra Linda has an EV in the driveway — and EVs are not the same animal as a gas car when something goes wrong with the body.
EV collision work requires certified bonded-aluminum and high-strength-steel repair processes that most shops are not approved to perform. We are Tesla-approved and trained on high-voltage-safe and structural EV repair, including the battery disconnect protocols every Tesla, Rivian, Lucid, BMW i-series, and Mercedes EQ requires before any structural panel comes off.
Restoration
Classic & ExoticMarin County has a strong classic car community, and Anthony's Auto Craft has been a trusted partner for restoration projects of every size. From a partial repaint on a vintage Mustang in a Novato garage to a full body restoration on a 1960s European roadster from Belvedere, we bring the same level of precision to restoration work that we bring to collision repair.
Classic car restoration requires patience, experience, and an eye for original details. We source the right materials, match period-correct colors, and treat every classic car as the irreplaceable piece it is.
Rust & Salt Air
Coastal Marin conditionsMarin's proximity to the bay and the open Pacific means salt air is a year-round issue. Vehicles parked in Sausalito, the Larkspur waterfront, or driven regularly on Highway 1 along the Marin coast are particularly exposed to the moisture that accelerates rust.
We offer rust repair and undercarriage rustproofing to protect your vehicle from the inside out. Catching rust early saves thousands in structural repairs down the line. If you have noticed bubbling paint along your door sills, wheel arches, or rear quarter panels, bring it in for an honest assessment.
Minor & Lease
Affordable optionsNot every repair is a major collision. Minor accident repair — the kind you need after a slow parking-lot bump in downtown Mill Valley, a shopping-cart encounter at Northgate Mall, or a tight garage scrape on a hillside Tiburon driveway — is something we handle every day. These jobs are often more affordable than people expect, especially without an insurance claim.
If you are coming up on the end of a vehicle lease, we can help with lease return repair. Lessees often pay inflated "excess wear" charges when they return a car with scuffs or scratches. Having us handle the repairs before turn-in can save you significantly.
Small dents and scratches spread — especially in Marin's wet winters and salty coastal air. Call today for a free, no-obligation estimate.
