Do you provide free estimates?
Yes. NANKI Auto Body & Repair provides free, no-obligation written estimates in person at our San Jose shop. Bring your vehicle by during business hours or call
(408) 436-1300 to schedule.
Do you work with all insurance companies?
Yes. We work with every major insurance carrier in California — including GEICO, State Farm, Allstate, Progressive, Farmers, Liberty Mutual, AAA, Mercury, USAA and more. We handle the claim paperwork directly so you don't have to.
How long does collision repair take?
Most minor collision repairs take 3 to 5 business days. Moderate damage runs 1 to 2 weeks, and major frame or structural work can take 2 to 4 weeks depending on parts availability. We give you a written timeline before any work begins.
Do you offer a warranty on your repairs?
Yes. NANKI offers a written lifetime warranty on workmanship and paint for as long as you own the vehicle. Parts are covered under their respective manufacturer warranties.
Where is NANKI Auto Body & Repair located?
We're located at
1190 N 13th St, Ste 20, San Jose, CA 95112. Open Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Call
(408) 436-1300.
Do you only do body work, or also mechanical repair?
We do both. NANKI Auto Body & Repair is a full-service shop — beyond collision and paint, we handle complete mechanical repair including
engine diagnostics, transmission service, brakes, suspension, steering, electrical, AC, and routine maintenance. You can bring your car in for body work, mechanical work, or both in one visit. Call
(408) 436-1300 to schedule.
Can you handle collision repair and mechanical work at the same time?
Yes. Because we have certified body and mechanical technicians under one roof, you can drop the vehicle off once and we'll handle everything — collision damage, frame, paint, plus any mechanical issues like alignment, suspension, AC, or engine work. One shop, one timeline, one bill.
Can you match the original paint color exactly?
Yes. We use computerized paint-matching systems and your vehicle's factory paint code to mix an exact-match color. Every panel is blended for an invisible repair.
Do you offer free pickup and delivery?
Yes — free pickup & delivery within San Jose for qualifying repairs. We can also coordinate rental coverage through your insurance when applicable, and we work directly with your carrier to arrange it.
How much does collision repair cost in San Jose?
Collision repair costs vary by damage severity. Minor bumper or fender repairs typically run $300–$900. Moderate damage (one or two panels, possible frame) ranges from $1,500–$5,000. Major structural rebuilds can exceed $5,000. NANKI provides a free written estimate before any work begins and coordinates directly with your insurance to maximize your coverage.
What is paintless dent repair (PDR) and is it right for my car?
Paintless dent repair (PDR) uses specialized tools to massage dents out from behind the panel — preserving your factory paint completely. It's ideal for door dings, hail damage, and minor creases where the paint is intact. PDR is faster and less expensive than traditional repair, and maintains your vehicle's resale value. We offer same-day PDR for qualifying damage.
Does insurance cover hail damage repair?
Yes. Hail damage is typically covered under
comprehensive auto insurance with no fault to you — it does not raise your rates. We work directly with your insurance company to process the hail damage claim and handle all paperwork. Our paintless dent repair for hail damage is fast, preserves factory paint, and is often fully covered. Call
(408) 436-1300 for a free hail damage estimate.
Do you repair all makes and models, including luxury and foreign cars?
Yes. We service all makes and models — domestic, import, and luxury vehicles including Toyota, Honda, Ford, Chevrolet, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Lexus, Audi, Tesla and more. Our certified technicians use OEM-grade parts and computerized laser measurement to restore every vehicle to factory tolerances.
