Totem Lake Boulevard, NE 124th and NE 132nd carry heavy traffic on and off I-405, and the shopping center lots generate a steady stream of door dings, cart dents and backing collisions. We fix a lot of bumpers from this neighborhood. With the dealerships next door, Totem Lake has a lot of newer Toyotas, Hondas, Hyundais and Nissans on the road, many with parking sensors and cameras in the bumpers that have to be checked after any hit.
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. For Totem Lake customers we start with a free look at the dent. If it qualifies for paintless repair it can often be done the same or next day. If it needs paint, expect two to four days including cure time, and a written estimate before anything starts.
Every repaired panel is inspected under daylight-balanced light and the car is washed before pickup. Small future scratches are touched up at no charge.

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!
