Chilton Auto Body has been the San Francisco Peninsula's first choice for collision repair for more than 40 years. Since 1969 ... , the Chilton family has been taking care of the San Francisco Bay Area's auto body repair needs. Chilton Auto Body was founded by Charles Chilton in San Mateo in 1969. A big part of growing the company was bringing his son, Mike, into the business in 1984. Nine years after that, and after nearly a quarter of a century of growth, he relocated the shop to a new facility at its present location in San Carlos in 1993. In 2003, under Mike's leadership, Chilton Auto Body added a second location to serve customers on the other side of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Rafael. A San Francisco location was added in 2004 and the Burlingame location was opened in 2007. Chilton Auto Body currently has 75 employees and repairs nearly 5,000 cars a year. Over the past 40 years, we have repaired more than 25,000 cars. More important, we have made friends. read more
