Collision Repair for Bothell Drivers

Bothell is ten minutes north of our shop, and between Canyon Park, downtown and the UW Bothell campus it sends us a steady run of collision, bumper and dent repairs. A fender bender in the Bothell area does not have to turn into weeks of phone calls. L-M Body Shop writes the estimate, opens the claim with you, handles the supplements and gets the car back looking like nothing happened.

Why Do Bothell Vehicles End Up Needing Collision Repair?

SR-522 through downtown Bothell, the Bothell-Everett Highway and the I-405 exits at NE 195th and SR-527 are where most Bothell accidents happen: rear-end collisions in stop-and-go traffic and lane-change side swipes. The Canyon Park shopping lots add the parking dents. Commuter sedans and crossovers dominate, with plenty of trucks on the north side and a growing share of EVs around the newer townhome developments.

About Collision Repair
Collision Repair at L-M Body Shop in Kirkland

How Does Collision Repair Work for Bothell Customers?

Collision repair at L-M Body Shop means a written estimate, teardown to find the damage a photo cannot show, structural and panel repair to manufacturer procedures, computer-matched refinishing, and a check of every light, sensor and gap before the car goes home. We talk to your insurance adjuster so you do not have to, and we arrange a rental through Enterprise. Every Bothell collision repair starts with a free written estimate. After drop-off the damaged area is torn down, hidden damage is documented for the adjuster, parts are ordered, the structure is measured if the hit was hard enough to need it, and the car is repaired, refinished, checked and washed.

We work with every major insurer and are a Direct Repair shop for The Hartford, but we work for you. Honest estimates, repairs done to manufacturer procedures, and a phone that gets answered by someone who knows your car.

Our collision repair customers come from Downtown Bothell, Canyon Park, North Creek, Thrashers Corner, Maywood Hills and the rest of the Bothell area. Bothell is a ten-minute drive to L-M: I-405 south to NE 124th, or down 124th Avenue NE from Thrashers Corner.

Stop by the shop at 13209 NE 126th Pl, Suite A140 in Totem Lake for a free written estimate, or call (425) 821-8074. If the car is not drivable we can help arrange the tow.

INSURANCE COMPANIES WE WORK WITH

every major carrier, plus Direct Repair for The Hartford

Collision happens, you call your insurance company, and then you call us. We work with every carrier below and many more, and we have handled claims from this same Totem Lake building since 1987. Don't see yours? Call (425) 821-8074, we almost certainly work with them too.

Also USAA, PEMCO, The Hartford, Mutual of Enumclaw, Esurance and any other carrier that writes auto policies in Washington.

You choose the body shop. Not your insurance company.

After a collision the first call is usually to the insurance company, and the adjuster may steer you toward a "preferred" or "network" shop. In Washington the choice of repair shop is yours. Your insurer cannot require you to use a particular shop, and it still has to pay for a proper repair at the shop you pick.

  • Network shops have agreements with the insurer. The agreement is with them, not with you.
  • Tell the adjuster: "I am taking it to L-M Body Shop in Kirkland." That is all it takes.
  • We send our estimate and photos to the adjuster, handle the supplement for hidden damage, and bill the insurer directly. You only pay your deductible.

Great service and great people. I had passenger side door's panel came off due to a little accident. I reached out to multiple body shop but LM body shop struck great impression in my mind. In the first interaction I knew that they're genuine and not trying to scam you. One of the part from the panel seems to be reusable and advised me to buy part by myself, so I can return if they don't ended up using it while repairing. And they didn't use it and saved me $500. Other bodyshops that I went, they never offered me this option and asked me to replace good part as well. In addition to that I didn't have to take the appointments for the quote, like I had to for the other places. They gave me quote promptly and squeezed the repair in their schedule as soon as the part arrived. I would definitely recommend this body shop to my friends and family.

Lorri and her team were amazing. This was my first time dealing with collision repairs and an insurance claim after someone damaged my rear bumper, so I wasn’t really sure what to expect. They took the time to answer my questions, explain the process, and made everything feel much less stressful. Lorri was calm, kind, and incredibly easy to communicate with from start to finish. Her customer service really stood out and made a difficult situation so much easier to navigate. Highly recommend for quality repairs and excellent customer service.

I can't say enough good things about L-M Body Shop. I brought my brand-new Lexus in for a scratch, and Lorri took the time to try the least invasive solution before recommending a repair. The result exceeded my expectations, and I truly appreciated the honesty and care. It's refreshing to find a shop that genuinely looks out for its customers. Thank you again, Lorri!
