Collision repair in Canoga Park done right means more than straightening a fender. At Accent Collision, we have been rebuilding cars after accidents in the San Fernando Valley since 1994. Every vehicle that comes through our 7300 Deering Ave shop is restored to manufacturer specifications using OEM repair procedures, factory-grade equipment, and technicians trained on the metals — aluminum, boron steel, high-strength steel — that modern cars are built from.
Full-Service Collision Repair
Whether you have been rear-ended on the 101 freeway, side-swiped on Topanga Canyon Boulevard, or had a parking-lot encounter at Westfield Topanga, we handle the entire repair from estimate to delivery. Our work covers cosmetic bumper replacement at one end and full structural rebuilds at the other — frame straightening on a Chief EZ Liner, panel replacement, weld-bonded seams, ADAS recalibration, and post-repair scan reports for your records.
Our Collision Repair Process
- Estimate & intake — we photograph the damage, write a line-item estimate, and submit it to your insurance carrier within 24 hours of drop-off.
- Disassembly & supplemental — once approved, we tear down to find hidden damage and submit any supplements directly to the adjuster.
- Structural repair — frame measuring and pulling on the Chief EZ Liner system if the unibody has shifted out of tolerance.
- Panel & body work — OEM panels where required by the manufacturer, factory-quality aftermarket where it is appropriate, and metal finishing to a glass-smooth surface.
- Paint & refinishing — downdraft booth, factory-matched color, clearcoat, and a bake cycle so the finish is fully cured before reassembly.
- Reassembly & QC — wheel alignment, ADAS calibration, road test, and a final detail before delivery.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does collision repair take?
Cosmetic bumper or fender work typically completes in 3-5 business days. Moderate damage with panel replacement runs 1-2 weeks. Major structural repairs or vehicles waiting on back-ordered parts can extend to 3-4 weeks. We give you an estimated completion date at intake and update it any time parts availability shifts.
Do I have to use the shop my insurance recommends?
No. California law gives you the right to choose any licensed collision repair facility. Your insurance company can suggest a shop, but the decision is yours. Bring the claim number to us and we handle the rest.
Will my repair use OEM or aftermarket parts?
It depends on the carrier, the policy, and the part. We default to OEM for structural and safety components — bumpers with crash sensors, airbag components, restraint systems — and use OEM-equivalent aftermarket for cosmetic parts when your policy specifies it. We document every part used in the final repair invoice.

Frequently asked questions
How long does collision repair take?
Most collision repairs take 5–10 working days depending on parts availability and damage complexity. We provide an estimated timeline at the start and update you with progress. We cannot guarantee an exact completion date — see our Process page for details.
Will my insurance pay for OEM parts?
Most policies cover OEM parts on newer vehicles or under specific conditions. We push for OEM parts as the default and require your written approval before any aftermarket substitution. If your policy mandates aftermarket parts, we will tell you up front.
Do you handle the insurance claim for me?
Yes. We accept claims from every major insurance carrier — State Farm, GEICO, Mercury, Allstate, Farmers, AAA, USAA, Liberty Mutual, Nationwide, Progressive, Travelers, Wawanesa, and most regional carriers. We bill your insurance directly and manage the full cycle: estimate, supplements, parts, rental coordination, and delivery.
What does the lifetime warranty cover?
Our lifetime workmanship warranty covers paint, structural repair, and refinishing for as long as you own the vehicle. It is in writing and transferable. It does not cover wear, accident damage to repaired areas, or third-party tampering.
