You’ve got questions.
We’ve got answers.
At Alioto’s Auto Body, we follow Toyota Motor Corporation’s Collision Repair Manual step-by-step:
- Digital vehicle scan before and after every repair
- Manufacturer-approved measuring and structural alignment
- Toyota weld and corrosion protection procedures
- Paint refinishing matched using Toyota-certified systems
- Final inspection and calibration report for documentation
This process guarantees your Toyota meets factory safety and quality verification before returning to you.
As the 1st independent Toyota Certified facility in the US, we are a true Toyota partner.
Alioto’s Auto Body only installs Genuine Toyota OEM parts — parts engineered by Toyota to:
- Fit precisely and restore structural rigidity
- Maintain safety and airbag system design performance
- Protect corrosion resistance and resale value
Depending on the vehicle’s age, there may be cases where OE replacement parts cannot be found, and approved aftermarket parts must be used. We will make every effort to get the parts.
Repairs done in a Toyota Certified facility:
- Preserve your new vehicle warranty, when Genuine Toyota parts and OEM methods are used.
- Maintain your ToyotaCare® coverage (no interruptions caused by improper repairs).
- Protect your vehicle’s resale and trade-in value, since repairs are manufacturer-documented and traceable in Toyota’s system.
Non-certified repairs or aftermarket parts can void warranty coverage and reduce your vehicle’s long-term reliability.
Toyota’s engineering blends precision manufacturing and layered safety systems that must be restored accurately to maintain performance:
- The Toyota Safety Sense™ suite (Pre-Collision System, Lane Departure Alert, Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, etc.) demands proper OEM calibration after any collision.
- Toyota’s unique body structures, often made of high-strength steel and aluminum, require factory-recommended welds and bonding techniques.
- Hybrid and electric Toyota vehicles (such as the Prius, bZ4X, and RAV4 Hybrid) require high-voltage safety protocols and specialized technician certification.
- Paint finishes use waterborne color technologies that require manufacturer-certified processes for a perfect color match and durability.
At Alioto’s Auto Body, we follow Toyota’s official Collision Repair Information documents and use only authorized data and equipment to restore your vehicle.
Toyota vehicles are known for safety, reliability, and advanced technology, but those same qualities require specific repair methods. Choosing a Toyota Certified shop ensures:
- All factory repair procedures are followed exactly as Toyota prescribes
- Technicians trained and tested by Toyota perform every step
- Only Genuine Toyota Parts are used — never aftermarket substitutes
- Toyota-approved scan tools and diagnostics detect hidden damage
- OEM recalibration restores Toyota Safety Sense™ (TSS) and other driver-assist systems
A certified shop like Alioto’s ensures that your vehicle retains its factory safety ratings, performance, and warranty integrity.
