Bothell Way and Ballinger Way carry the traffic and the rear-end collisions. The hilly, tree-lined residential streets with narrow driveways account for the scraped bumpers, bent mirrors and backing dents. Volvos, Subarus, Priuses and family SUVs, many of them kept for a long time and worth repairing properly.
About Collision Repair
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 Lake Forest Park 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.
L-M Body Shop is family owned and women led, holds an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau, was named to the Best of Kirkland Business Hall of Fame five years running, and was one of the first collision shops in Washington to earn a 5-Star EnviroStars rating.

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.
Walk in Monday through Friday 7:30 to 5, or send photos through the online estimate form. You get a written estimate, free, with no appointment needed.
Using insurance? We open or update the claim with you, send our estimate and photos to the adjuster and remind them that you chose the shop.

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!
No. Washington law lets you choose any repair shop. Your insurer can recommend network shops but cannot require one, and it still pays for a proper repair at L-M Body Shop.
Lake Forest Park is about fifteen minutes from the shop via SR-522 and Juanita Drive or I-405 to NE 124th.
Yes. We coordinate with Enterprise so a rental is ready at drop-off and handle the paperwork with your insurer if your policy includes rental coverage.
