Our Story
Body Shop by Gene Cochetti was founded by Gene Cochetti in 1977, and in 1990, his son Chris returned from college to work alongside him in the family business. In 1994, we expanded our auto body repair department to meet the growing needs of Salinas' community. Today, Chris and Filiberto Cazares, who joined us in 2021, manage the day-to-day operations of our shop. Our goal is to provide our customers with a hassle-free experience, and we achieve this by using the best equipment, quality parts, and a highly trained staff using the latest repair procedures provided by your vehicle's manufacturer.

Additionally, we offer complete insurance claim processing and billing for all major carriers, as well as pick up and delivery, towing to shop, and rental car arrangements, all at no extra charge. We stand behind our work with a limited lifetime warranty on all repairs for as long as you own your vehicle.
