🖤 Fresh black paint for a timeless classic.

This 1938 Ford Deluxe is currently undergoing restoration and refinishing in our shop.

The new black finish is bringing this iconic body style back to life while preserving the character that makes these vehicles so special.

Projects like this are a reminder that great craftsmanship never goes out of style.

Stay tuned as we continue the transformation.

We’re honored to be featured in the Tahoe Daily Tribune for the launch of our new Wreck Check Program.

If you’ve had your vehicle repaired after an accident and something doesn’t seem right, Wreck Check provides an independent post-repair inspection to help identify potential concerns with repairs, safety systems, calibrations, structural repairs, paintwork, and more. The program is also designed to help educate consumers about their rights when choosing a repair facility after an accident.

Thank you to our customers and community for trusting South Side Auto Body.

🚗🔥 Classic car season is officially here.

We spent some time checking out the incredible vehicles at Hot August Nights Spring Fever in Reno. From restored classics to custom builds, there is always inspiration around every corner.

Events like these remind us why we love what we do—preserving automotive history while helping create the next generation of custom builds.

Which one would you take home if you could choose just one?

Don’t let your insurance company make the decision for you.

In California, YOU have the legal right to choose your repair shop—not them.

We’ve seen it too many times… customers being pushed out of town, adding stress, delays, and inconvenience to an already tough situation.

👉 Stay local
👉 Avoid the drive
👉 Work with a team that puts you first

At South Side Auto Body, we:
✔ Advocate for YOU—not the insurance company
✔ Handle the entire insurance process
✔ Stand behind our work with a lifetime guarantee
