Body shop by Gene Cochetti was founded in 1977 by Gene Cochetti at the very same location we’re at today. In 1990, Gene’s son Chris returned from college to work alongside Gene in the family business. In 1994, the auto body repair department was expanded to meet the needs of Salinas’ growing community. Today, Body Shop by Gene Cochetti is managed by Joel Rocha, who oversees the day-to-day operations of the busy shop. Our full auto body repair services include auto body repair, collision repair, dent removal, body work, frame repair, fender and bumper repair, auto painting, paintless dent removal, auto refinishing and auto glass replacement. All our auto body technicians are I-CAR Certified, and all our auto refinish technicians are trained and certified by the premier automotive paint solution company, Sikkens. Our goal is to provide the highest level of communication and customer service, and the highest quality repair. The way we do this is by using the best equipment, quality parts, and highly trained staff using the latest repair procedures provided by your vehicles’ manufacturer.
