Why visit an expensive body shop when a mobile reconditioning outfit can come straight to you? Aaron Baird owns West Coast Recon, a mobile automotive reconditioning company based in southern California. Here he explains why it makes so much sense to forsake the body shop and go straight to him.
If your car needs a bit of reconditioning, such as fixing a minor ding or dent, we can come to you and fix things up, usually within just a few hours. This is not a gimmick. West Coast Recon was started by myself and my brother in 2008, and together we have more than 20 years’ experience in the field. We can make all those unsightly blemishes disappear.
Our highly trained technicians use the same techniques as the more expensive body shops, but we keep the areas we repair on your vehicle smaller. That means we can do it quicker, and that we can charge less. We also are a mobile business that comes to you, saving you not only time and hassle but also money you may have needed to spend on a rental car while your own vehicle is being serviced.
As the premier automotive reconditioning company in southern California, we offer a vast selection of services that can make your car look new again. Here are just some of the services we offer:
- Mobile bumper repair: Only takes about two hours from start to finish.
- Touch-ups: We do a perfect color match so everything looks genuine.
- Interior repairs: From redyeing the leather on your steering wheel to dyeing your carpet, we make it all look new.
- Lease returns: We repair all damaged areas before you return your leased vehicle and save you thousands of dollars in damage fees.
- Headlight restorations: When they begin to look yellow and hazy, it potentially is a safety hazard, and getting them refinished is a lot cheaper than getting them replaced.
- Tail light restorations: Same as above.
- Faded leather: Let us make the seats in your car look new again.
- Rock chips and scratches: We have two ways to get rid of these unsightly blemishes.
- Minor dents and dings (paintless dent removal): We have acquired the skill to do this without using paint, from the inside out.
- Black trim, plastic and more: Let us bring them back to life.
All of our services come with a 100% satisfaction guarantee, plus we can provide free estimates. We can add thousands of dollars to your car, and also help improve its resale value dramatically. We provide our customers with body shop quality work for significantly less time and money. Our motto is “professional service and quality craftsmanship” - and it shows!

West Coast Recon did a fabulous job of fixing the dent in the right front bumper of my Lexus RX 300. Aaron was prompt, thorough and efficient. Work looks great, and no one could ever tell that there was a dent there. I will keep him on speed dial, since I seem to have a habit of scrunching my front bumper. I am very satisfied with his work.
