Collision repair in Van Nuys
About F1 Collision Center
A local collision repair and auto body shop on Oxnard Street in Van Nuys. Send photos or visit during business hours to start a written estimate.
What we do
F1 Collision Center evaluates collision damage and provides body, panel, paint, and structural repair estimates based on inspection.
Most cars arrive here after an accident, with an insurance claim attached and an owner who did not plan their week around a body shop. Start by sharing the damage, the vehicle information, and any insurance estimate or claim number you already have.
The work itself runs from bumper repair and paintless dent repair through structural frame repair and refinishing.
The shop
We are at 14332 Oxnard Street, Van Nuys, CA 91401, in the middle of the San Fernando Valley. Van Nuys is our neighborhood, and most of our work comes from it and the towns around it.
You are welcome to come look at the bays before you decide. Shops that do good work do not mind being watched.
The people
Current technician and shop credentials are being verified before they are named on this website.
Ask to see the active credentials that apply to your vehicle and repair. The credentials page lists the questions to ask before authorization.
When insurance is involved
If insurance is involved, bring the claim number, adjuster contact, and insurer estimate. Coverage decisions remain with the insurer.
Under California Insurance Code §758.5, the choice of repair shop is yours — not your insurer's. They can recommend; you decide. Here is what to bring for the estimate process once you have chosen.
What we will not tell you
We will not promise a timeline before we have seen the damage, and we will not quote a price we cannot hold.
Teardown can reveal damage an initial estimate could not predict. Before work starts, ask who will document supplements, contact the insurer, and explain changes to you.

…My car is metallic white, which is a very difficult color to match perfectly — but they absolutely nailed it. The paint match is flawless. It looks completely natural, and you would never be able to tell the car had any damage or repaint done. The finish blends perfectly with the original factory paint. They were extremely professional, very fair with pricing, and most importantly — on time. Everything was completed exactly when they promised. The entire team was friendly, honest, and great to work with. From quality to communication to timing, I'm 100% satisfied. I highly recommend F1 Collision to anyone who wants their car repaired the right way.

Ryan is very helpful, he handled my claim professionally, I was expecting to get my car back in 1 month but he got it done a little more than 2 weeks. Strongly recommend bodyshop. Thank you Ryan!

Rayan was a great help from start to finish. Brought in my BMW 330i with major damages to the front bumper and front rim. He gave me a great a price for the entire job. He also completed the entire project in less than a week. I would highly recommend him to anyone and everyone. Thank you again Rayan for the amazing work.
