The Marin County Auto Body Shop That Locals Recommend by Name

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

Complete Auto Body Services for Marin County

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

Collision Repair

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

Auto Body Repair

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

Auto Painting

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

Paintless Dent Repair

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

Frame Straightening

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 Repair

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

Auto Restoration Service

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

Hail & Scratch Removal

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

Car Detailing Service

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

Your Repair, Start to Finish

Most people have never been through a collision repair before. Here is exactly what the process looks like at Anthony's Auto Craft.

01

Free Estimate

Drop by or call. We inspect the damage and give you a written estimate — usually same day. No pressure, no surprises.

02

Insurance Coordination

We deal directly with your adjuster. We have worked with every major California carrier — State Farm, AAA, Allstate, USAA, and more.

03

Expert Repair

Our certified technicians get to work. You get updates throughout — no guessing when your car will be ready.

04

Quality Delivery

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

The Marin Roads That Send the Most Cars to Our Shop

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.

Daily CommuteUS-101 · Marin Corridor

Rear-end collisions in stop-and-go traffic between San Rafael, Larkspur, and the Waldo Tunnel — the most common job we see.

Wildlife · Sir Francis Drake Boulevard

Deer strikes and shoulder slides on the stretch from Fairfax through Lagunitas to Olema. We handle the front-end and radiator work in-house.

Coastal · Highway 1 · Coastal Marin

Foggy curves through Muir Beach, Stinson Beach, and Bolinas — paint and panel work after slow-speed scrapes and rock chips.

Mountain · Panoramic Highway · Mt. Tamalpais

Tight switchbacks and bicyclist traffic on the climb above Mill Valley. Bumper and quarter panel work after low-speed tap-ups.

Rural · Lucas Valley Road

Wildlife crossings and blind curves between Marinwood and Nicasio Reservoir. Common deer-strike and run-off-road repairs.

Bridge · Richmond–San Rafael Bridge

Rear-end and lane-change collisions on the eastbound approach during commute hours. Insurance handling and rentals coordinated on site.

Local Knowledge

Auto Body Repair in Marin County — What Drivers Need to Know

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 part

Insurance Claim Assistance for Marin Drivers

Filing 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, Lucid

EV Collision Specialist Services

Marin 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 & Exotic

Auto Restoration Service for Marin's Classic Cars

Marin 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 conditions

Rust Repair and Undercarriage Rustproofing

Marin'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 options

Minor Accident Repair and Lease Return Repair

Not 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.

Don't Wait to Fix That Damage

Small dents and scratches spread — especially in Marin's wet winters and salty coastal air. Call today for a free, no-obligation estimate.

Troubleshooting Guide

My bumper looks only scuffed after an impact. Could there be hidden damage?
A bumper cover can conceal damaged attachments or components behind it. The outside appearance alone does not establish the extent of an impact. Tell Anthony's Auto Craft where the car was struck and report any new noise, warning or change in how it drives.Learn More About Luxury Collision RepairLearn More About Mercedes Body RepairLearn More About Maserati Body Repair
Why is the airbag warning on after a collision?
A warning can indicate a fault affecting the restraint system, even if an airbag did not deploy. Do not erase it or assume the restraints will work normally. Arrange qualified assessment and tell Anthony's Auto Craft the exact warning before planning vehicle delivery.Learn More About Luxury Collision RepairLearn More About Mercedes Body RepairLearn More About Maserati Body Repair
What should I do if my bumper or underbody trim is hanging loose?
Loose parts can detach or contact a tire or the road. Stop somewhere safe and do not reach beneath the vehicle in traffic. Describe the loose area to Anthony's Auto Craft and arrange assistance if the vehicle cannot be moved safely.Learn More About Luxury Collision RepairLearn More About Mercedes Body RepairLearn More About Maserati Body Repair
There is a new leak after the collision. Is it safe to drive?
The source and severity cannot be established from fluid color alone. Do not continue driving with a substantial leak, fuel smell, smoke or a critical warning. Keep clear of leaking fluids and contact appropriate assistance; advise Anthony's Auto Craft of the leak before delivery.Learn More About Luxury Collision RepairLearn More About Mercedes Body RepairLearn More About Maserati Body Repair
Why are parking-sensor or driver-assistance warnings appearing after impact?
Damage or displacement near a sensor or camera can affect its operation, but testing is needed to establish the cause. Do not rely on an affected assistance feature. Give Anthony's Auto Craft the exact warning and impact location so any required inspection or calibration can be considered.Learn More About Luxury Collision RepairLearn More About Mercedes Body RepairLearn More About Maserati Body Repair
