Serving Kingsgate from Totem Lake, Kirkland
Kingsgate is directly north of Totem Lake and the closest neighborhood to our shop. Many Kingsgate customers have been coming to L-M since the 1990s, and their kids come now. A dent is either a quick paintless fix or a real body repair, and the difference is whether the paint survived. L-M Body Shop looks at your Kingsgate vehicle, tells you honestly which one it is, and writes it up.

NE 144th, 124th Avenue NE and the I-405 on-ramps at NE 160th see most of the Kingsgate collisions we repair. The Kingsgate Park and Ride lot and the busy shopping strips along 124th Avenue produce their share of dings and scraped bumpers. Kingsgate is a practical neighborhood: Camrys, Accords, Foresters, F-150s and minivans doing school and commute duty, with a few restored classics tucked in garages.
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. Plastic bumper covers often pop back with heat and pressure and then get refinished if scuffed. Cracked covers or broken tabs are repaired or replaced. Either way the brackets and sensors behind the bumper are checked, because that is where parking lot hits hide their damage.
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 Kingsgate 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.
