Collision Repair Center · Santa Ana, CA
Form · intake fields
3 Stage Auto Collision appears in the Total Body Auto Aesthetic directory serving Santa Ana, CA as a collision and body-work candidate, with signals for collision repair, insurance coordination, paint matching, frame repair, and paintless dent repair. The supporting record includes 6 repair signals, 6 source rows, and 1 photo on file, so the page is useful for preparing a call rather than treating the listing as a promise of current availability.
A useful first call should separate cosmetic paint work from collision repair, clarify whether frame measurement is needed, and ask how supplements are handled if hidden damage appears after teardown. If the job is out of pocket, ask for a line-item estimate that separates labor, paint materials, parts, calibration, sublet work, storage, and taxes before leaving the vehicle.
The strongest public-source cues come from business website; use those cues as topics to verify directly instead of assuming every service is available for every vehicle, insurer, or repair size. For accident work, bring photos, the claim number, insurer contact details, VIN, mileage, and any police or incident report so the shop can discuss next steps with fewer assumptions.
This directory profile does not certify the shop, set prices, rank repair quality, or guarantee insurer approval; it organizes public signals so drivers can ask sharper questions. The listed shop address is 514 E 2nd St, Santa Ana, CA 92701, United States; confirm drop-off instructions, parking, after-hours key handling, and whether the vehicle can be released only to the registered owner.
