Our Preferred Vendor
We don’t hand our customers off lightly. Network Auto Body is the collision repair center we recommend to MINI owners because their standards are the ones we’d hold ourselves to — right down to the part number.
Manufacturer-approved procedures and Original MINI Parts mean your factory warranty stays intact and your MINI keeps its value. No shortcuts, no imitation panels.
The highest role-relevant training achievement recognized by the collision repair industry — earned, and re-earned, through training every single year.
Dedicated aluminum repair capability, precision frame and unibody straightening, and safety-system recalibration so driver-assistance features work exactly as engineered.
Estimate, insurance coordination, towing, rental car and delivery handled under one roof — with a dealership relationship standing behind it.
Full Capability
From a parking-lot scuff to a full structural rebuild — one facility, one standard, one warranty.
Complete repair of body panels plus the mechanical and electrical components damaged behind them — returned to factory specification.
Computerized measuring and precision frame equipment detect deviations invisible to the eye and pull the structure back to spec.
Advanced unibody restoration for everything from light damage to major impact, using manufacturer repair procedures.
Advanced color-matching technology finds the exact shade — contrast roofs and mirror caps included — so repaired panels blend seamlessly with the rest of your MINI.
One of the most advanced, environmentally friendly body and paint operations in the industry — a flawless finish with a lighter footprint.
Paintless dent repair for dings and creases where the original finish is intact — faster, cleaner and paint-free.
Windshield and auto glass replacement handled in-house as part of the repair plan, not a separate errand.
Damage reports are written with Original Equipment Manufacturer parts — the same parts your MINI left the factory with.
Priority scheduling, fast turnaround and consistent quality across every vehicle in a commercial fleet.
Reliable towing brings your damaged vehicle safely to the nearest Network location of your choice.
Rental cars arranged through Enterprise, who collect you from the shop — plus limited on-site loaner availability.
Upload photos from home for a fast professional assessment, or have an estimator come to you.
The Repair Process
Eight stages, documented at every step, so you always know where your MINI stands.
After a collision we arrange towing to the nearest Network location of your choice. No appointment required — drive in or be towed in.
An experienced estimator inspects the vehicle and enters every point of visible damage into the estimating system for a free, comprehensive quote.
Collisions cause damage that can only be found once the vehicle is disassembled and the structure exposed. It’s documented and taken back to your insurer.
The shop foreman marks the vehicle panel by panel — replace fender, repair door, remove and install molding — so the repair plan is unambiguous.
The technician who performed the teardown carries out the repair: frame straightening, panel replacement with OEM parts, aluminum work in a dedicated clean room.
Bare metal is cleaned and primed, color is computer-matched and applied in layers with clear coat, then trim, glass, panels and electronics go back in and are reset.
Every repaired and refinished area is reviewed against shop standards, then the vehicle is road-tested to confirm structural integrity and electronic function.
The exterior is washed and polished, the interior cleaned, and your MINI is handed back. Your insurance deductible is paid at pick-up.
Certifications
Manufacturer certification isn’t a logo on a wall. It means brand-specific technician training, factory repair procedures, approved equipment and genuine replacement parts — audited and renewed.
Network Auto Body holds manufacturer certifications across a wide range of brands — MINI among them — so your MINI is repaired to the procedures it was engineered around.
Peace of Mind
Network Auto Body warranties all workmanship on unibody, body and refinish work for as long as you own the vehicle. It’s transferable, and it’s honored at any Network Auto Body location.
Most manufacturer paint warranties run three to five years or 36,000–60,000 miles. This one runs as long as the car is yours.
While You’re Without Your MINI
Come in any weekday between 8:00 AM and 6:00 PM for an estimate or to drop the vehicle off.
Enterprise collects you from the shop and returns you when your vehicle is ready. Limited on-site loaners are also available.
Towing service across Los Angeles, North Hollywood, Van Nuys, Valencia, Downtown and Oxnard.
Network Auto Body works directly with your insurer on supplements and hidden damage. You always keep the right to choose your repair facility.
Five Certified Centers

Good to Know
No. You do not need an appointment to bring your vehicle in for an estimate or to leave it for repairs. Come in any time Monday through Friday between 8:00 AM and 6:00 PM.
Yes. As an insured motorist you have the right to choose the repair facility. Your insurance company cannot refer or recommend a shop — commonly known as “steering” — unless you specifically ask for a referral. That’s the law.
No. By law you need only one estimate.
An initial insurance estimate reflects visual inspection only. Additional parts and labor are expected once the vehicle is disassembled. Network Auto Body performs a thorough inspection and contacts your insurer directly about anything that needs to be added.
Yes. Network Auto Body uses Enterprise Rent-A-Car. They will pick you up from the shop and take you to their office for your rental, then collect you again once repairs are complete. A limited number of on-site loaners are also available.
Yes. If you are going through an insurance company for the repairs, you need to notify them before work begins.
OEM parts are Original Equipment Manufacturer parts — made by the manufacturer of your vehicle. Aftermarket parts are new parts manufactured by companies other than the vehicle manufacturer. Opt-OEM parts are not supplied by the vehicle manufacturer, may be blemished, and carry no manufacturer warranty. Network Auto Body writes damage reports using OEM parts.
Your deductible is paid to Network Auto Body when you pick up your vehicle.
If you choose to, you may wash your vehicle the same day you pick it up.
Not when the repair is performed to manufacturer standards with genuine parts. Network Auto Body is a manufacturer-certified repair center that follows factory repair procedures and uses OEM parts, which is precisely why MINI of Universal City recommends them.
