An honest quote, and paint that matches the whole car.

Our story

A Merced body shop built on a handshake

Sal & Son's is a family auto body and paint shop on Highway 140 in Merced. Sal quotes the work himself, his sons are on the tools, and the same people who take your call are the ones finishing your panels.

We do collision repair, full repaints, custom color work, and spray-in bed liners out of a clean, big shop with an in-house crew. Customers come to us for paint work that matches, not just the factory code, but the car sitting in front of us, at a price well under big-body-shop numbers.

We'll walk you through what needs to happen before we start, keep you posted on parts and paint as the job moves, and do a walk-around with you at pickup so nothing is left unsaid.

  • Family-run: Sal and his sons work every job
  • We deal with the insurance company for you
  • Free quotes before any work begins
  • Clean, spacious shop with an in-house crew

What customers say

“Not only did he deal with the not-so-helpful insurance company, but he explained to us just what needed to be done. The whole passenger side matched in color without seeing where it was blended at all! His price was fair, the workmanship was excellent, and he didn't drag out the repair time. You don't get many people that believe that a handshake is their bond. If the handshake comes from Sal, you can take it to the bank!”

Alma Bell

“They didn't just match the paint code but did an exact color match for my van. It was a tricky job as the panels were fiberglass gel coated but the end result looked incredible. Sal's an honest guy who will give you a very reasonable quote. I'll definitely go back with any other needs I have.”

Lucas Via

“He explained to me very clearly the process of fixing my car from the start and made it clear that safety is also a priority. My car rides beautifully and it looks great! The job was amazingly done in a short period of time. The paint job on my car is simply outstanding!”
