How AutoMatch works
Three simple steps to connect with California's best BAR-licensed repair shops.
Submit Damage Details
Provide vehicle info, describe the damage, and upload photos. Our secure form guides you through everything needed for an accurate estimate.
Receive Estimates
BAR-licensed shops in your area review your request and provide competitive written estimates per CA B&P Code §9884.
Choose & Connect
Compare estimates side-by-side—ratings, pricing, turnaround time, warranty—and connect directly with your chosen shop.
Don’t Overpay for Car Repairs
Most drivers in California lose money on repairs. Here’s why:
1 estimate
Most drivers receive only 1 estimate — and pay whatever the shop asks.
Insurance pressure
Insurance companies push you toward their preferred shops — not yours.
Overpaying
Without competition, you end up paying more than necessary for the same repair.
California Consumer Protection
Your rights are protected. Know them before you repair.
Choose your own repair shop
No insurer can force you to use their preferred network.
Insurance companies cannot force selection
Steering is illegal in California.
Written estimates are required by law
Before any work begins on your vehicle.

I submitted my damage photos once and got 4 competitive estimates the same day. The whole process was transparent — no hidden fees, no pressure. Exactly what California drivers need.
Carlos R.
Sacramento, CA
I didn't know shops were required to give written estimates by law. AutoMatch educated me and connected me with a licensed shop that did amazing work at a fair price.
Sarah T.
Long Beach, CA
As a first-time accident claim filer, I had no idea where to start. AutoMatch walked me through the process and I found a trustworthy shop within 24 hours. Truly a lifesaver.
Michael W.
Oakland, CA
The estimates I received through AutoMatch were significantly lower than what my insurer's shop quoted. Every shop was BAR-licensed and offered a warranty. Can't recommend it enough.
