Auto Body Shop Serving Citrus Heights
Citrus Heights is a keep-it-running town.
The cars here aren’t showpieces; they’re the Camry with 140,000 miles that still starts every morning, the pickup that’s outlasted two roofs, the hand-me-down sedan getting a kid through Sunrise-corridor traffic to their first job. When one of them gets hit, the question isn’t abstract. It’s whether the repair makes sense, what it’ll really cost, and who’ll give you a straight answer instead of a sales pitch.
That’s been Relux Collision’s lane for 30 years. We’re about 20 minutes away down I-80, and the reason Citrus Heights drivers keep coming back is simple: we tell people when a repair is worth it and when it isn’t, then we do the work like the car matters, because to its owner it does.
Straight answers start with photos: 916-240-2000. You’ll know where you stand today.
The Relux Cash Back Program rewards you for trusting us with your repair and for helping others do the same. Earn up to $500 per referral and up to $1,000 toward your deductible on qualifying insurance claims.
Finding Us From Citrus Heights
Take Greenback or Sunrise to I-80 west, and we’re one straight run into Sacramento, roughly a 20-minute outside commute crunch. From the Antelope Road side, the same freeway does the work. We’ll walk you through drop-off when we schedule, and if the car isn’t safe to drive, tell us first so the tow goes to the right place the first time.

Sunrise, Greenback, and Auburn Boulevard produce steady low-speed collisions involving bumpers, fenders, and headlights. On anything built in the last decade, we also check the sensors hiding behind the plastic, because even older commuters now carry backup cameras that need to work after the repair.
Door edges, quarter panels, cart dents. Small jobs get small prices and the same paint match as big ones.
On a 15-year-old car, we’ll talk through options honestly, including where quality used or aftermarket panels make financial sense with your approval, and where cutting corners would cost you more later. The call is always yours; our job is to make it an informed one.
Prior dings that were never fixed grow ugly. If we’re already painting a panel, handling its history at the same time is the economical moment.
Insurance, Deductibles, And The Cash Question
On a car with real mileage behind it, the honest conversation happens early. Is this worth claiming at all, or does your deductible and premium make it smarter to pay direct? We will tell you plainly, then handle whichever road you choose. Insurers get a complete file from us, supplements included where teardown warrants. There is help available with deductibles, so ask about it. If someone else caused the damage, their carrier answers to us. What we will not do is talk you into a repair the car does not merit.
Fill out the form below and we’ll contact you within 24 hours with a detailed estimate.
Is my older car even worth repairing?
Usually, yes, and here’s the honest test: compare the repair cost to the cost of replacing the car with something equally reliable, not to the car’s trade-in value. A paid-off car that runs well is cheap transportation worth protecting. When the math genuinely doesn’t work, we’ll be the ones to say so.
Will you pressure me toward the expensive option?
No. We quote what the damage needs, flag what can wait, and separate must-do safety items from cosmetic choices. You pick the scope.
Can you match faded paint on an older car?
Yes. We blend into the surrounding panels and account for sun fade, which is exactly why a repainted panel from a cheap shop screams and ours doesn’t.
My bumper's cracked, but the car drives fine. Can it wait?
Sometimes. If there are no sensors involved and the mounting is solid, it may be cosmetic. Send photos, and we’ll tell you whether waiting costs you anything.
What does deductible assistance actually mean?
Ask us when you call, and we’ll explain how it applies to your specific job; for many repairs, it meaningfully reduces your out-of-pocket costs.
Do small jobs get treated like small jobs?
They get small invoices and full-size quality. A one-panel respray goes through the same paint booth and the same color-matching as a full rebuild.
