From a fender-bender in a snowy parking lot or a close call with a rogue shopping cart, local drivers know the value of reliable auto body repair. The Best of Tahoe takes stock of the businesses that help keep cars looking their best — repairing damage and restoring finishes. When your wheels are involved, precision matters, and trust runs deeper than a paint job.
Since opening its doors in 2004, South Side Auto Body has been a steady hand for South Lake Tahoe drivers in need of professional collision repair. It’s a family-owned operation that blends local familiarity with industry-grade equipment, and their team doesn’t shy away from the complex jobs — frame straightening, dent repair, color matching and more. A look at their site reveals a business that values both technical excellence and honest communication. Customers work directly with staff throughout the repair process, and the company takes pride in explaining estimates clearly.
Collision Pros is part of a wider network of repair shops serving Northern California and Nevada, but the South Lake Tahoe location maintains a distinct hometown approach. This certified collision center handles everything from bumper replacements to comprehensive structural repairs, using OEM-approved parts and modern technology to ensure precision.
