Serving Bellevue from Totem Lake, Kirkland
Bellevue drivers have more body shop choices than anyone on the Eastside, and many of them still drive fifteen minutes north to L-M Body Shop because they want a family-owned shop where the owner knows their name. From a basketball off the hood to a hail storm, L-M Body Shop has repaired dents on Bellevue vehicles since 1987 without ever charging for a repaint the car did not need.

I-405, I-90 and SR-520 converge on Bellevue, and the downtown garages and Bellevue Square, Crossroads and Factoria lots produce constant parking damage. Higher speeds on the freeways mean the structural repairs we see from Bellevue tend to be more serious. Bellevue is luxury and EV territory: Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Lexus, Porsche and Tesla, where pearl paint matching, aluminum repair and driver-assistance calibration are part of the job.
About Dent Repair
Dent repair at L-M Body Shop is paintless when the paint is intact and the metal is not stretched, and conventional when it is not: the panel is repaired, filled where needed, primed and refinished to match. Door dings, hail, shopping cart dents, creased panels and pushed-in bumpers are all everyday work in our Totem Lake shop. Paintless dent repair works on dings and shallow dents in steel and aluminum where the paint has not cracked. A technician works the metal back from behind, keeping your factory finish, often the same day. Sharp creases, panel edges and chipped paint need the conventional route: repair, prime, refinish and blend.
L-M Body Shop is family owned, women led and has been in Totem Lake since 1987. An A+ BBB rating and five straight years in the Best of Kirkland Business Hall of Fame say what Bellevue customers already know.

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!
If the paint is intact and the dent is not on a sharp crease or panel edge, usually yes, with paintless dent repair. We will tell you after a quick look.
Yes. Hail is one of the best cases for paintless dent repair, and we can work with your comprehensive insurance claim.
Paintless repairs are often same day or next day. Repairs that need paint take two to four days including cure time.
