Our Story
Serving the Bay Area since 1982, Michael J’s is a 3rd-generation, family-operated collision repair facility built on trust, craftsmanship, and care. What began in San Jose as a small shop with a big vision—to provide honest, high-quality repairs with a personal touch—has grown into one of the Bay Area’s most respected names in collision repair. For over four decades, we’ve helped our community get back on the road with confidence, and our commitment to integrity and excellence remains as strong as ever.

Certified Collision Experts You Can Trust
At Michael J’s Auto Body, our 16+ OEM certifications and I-CAR Gold Class status set us apart as one of the most qualified collision repair facilities in the region. These certifications mean our technicians are trained and approved directly by vehicle manufacturers to repair your car using the same parts, tools, and procedures originally used to build it.
When you choose a manufacturer-certified and I-CAR Gold Class repair center, you’re ensuring your vehicle is restored to factory specifications—protecting its safety systems, performance, and value. Less than 15% of body shops nationwide meet the rigorous standards required to earn I-CAR Gold recognition, and even fewer hold multiple OEM certifications like ours.
Our team undergoes continuous, hands-on training from automakers and industry leaders to stay ahead of evolving vehicle technology. That means when you trust Michael J’s, you’re choosing a shop that’s not only skilled but factory-approved to get the job done right—the first time.
