LAVA's is a family business owned by John and Johnny LaVanish. Since the business began in 1999 it has steadily grown. We are now a shop of five employees serving four insurance companies as a Direct repair shop. While we may not be on the list of preferred shops of your insurance company, don't let that deter you. Be assured we offer the same Lifetime Warranty and high quality repairs as our competitors. As a small shop in an older building, we have the inherent advantage of a low cost business. We don't have to make enormous profit to pay enormous overhead payments. We have the same modern equipment as any other shop, and we can do the same repairs as any other shop, but at a cost savings to you.

Huge shout out to Lava Autobody right here in State College for fixing up my Durango after a deer T-boned me on my way to work 3 weeks ago. Not only does she look like new, they cleaned her up inside and out making her even better than when I dropped her off! The crew at Lava were helpful and kind from start to finish and we will definitely be using them in the unfortunate event of ever needing auto body work in the future! Thanks again for everything!

My vehicle was in really rough condition after a collision with a deer. When I picked it up, it was in perfect condition- truly better than the day I purchased it. Lava Auto Body has a great team of professionals who exceeded our expectations with the quality of the repair and the time they had it back to me. I can’t recommend them enough!

Customer Service

Several times they called to update me on the status of my repair & kept me informed every step of the way.
