Why Do Mill Creek Vehicles End Up Needing Collision Repair?

The Bothell-Everett Highway and 164th Street SE are busy and accident prone, and the Mill Creek Town Center lots produce a steady run of door dings and parking bumps. Tree-lined neighborhood streets add the mirror and bumper scrapes. Newer family crossovers and SUVs, Highlanders, Pilots, Telluride and the like, alongside commuter sedans and trucks.

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

How Does Collision Repair Work for Mill Creek 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. We do not guess from photos. A technician looks at the car, writes a real estimate, and once the bumper or fender comes off we document anything underneath for your insurance company. Then the repair, the paint and the inspection happen in-house in Totem Lake.

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 Mill Creek Town Center, Silver Firs, North Creek, Heatherwood, Thrashers Corner and the rest of the Mill Creek area. Mill Creek is about fifteen to twenty minutes to our shop: SR-527 to I-405 south, exit at NE 124th.

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!
