Auto repair in the United States is split between independent shops, dealership service departments and national chains. Independents handle most routine work (oil changes, brakes, tune-ups, check-engine diagnostics) at lower labor rates and often specialize in one make or in imports; dealers keep factory tools, software and warranty authority; chains sell speed and standard pricing on maintenance items. Most shops charge a diagnostic fee, credited toward the repair if you go ahead, and quote parts and labor separately. Certification matters: look for ASE-certified technicians and, in many states, a state repair license posted at the counter. Written estimates are required by law in most states before work begins, and you are entitled to your old parts if you ask.

The business lists hours on 5 days of the week. The most common schedule is 8 am–5 pm. Note that it does not open on Saturday, Sunday. As with most places, expect changes around holidays; the phone number below is the fastest way to confirm. You can reach Lava Auto Body at (814) 245-8983; calling is usually the quickest way to ask about availability, prices or directions. More information is available on its website, lavaautobody.com.

I highly recommend Lava Body Shop! Our Kia Sorento was damaged after my son accidentally hit a deer, causing significant damage to the front bumper and front end. We were very concerned about the repairs, but the team at Lava Body Shop made the entire process smooth and stress-free. A special thank you to Tom, who was extremely helpful, professional, and easy to work with from start to finish. He kept us informed throughout the repair process and made sure everything was done right. The quality of the repair was outstanding. Our Sorento looks like new again, and you would never know it had been involved in an accident. We are very happy with the workmanship and customer service we received. If you’re looking for an honest, reliable, and skilled body shop, I highly recommend Lava Body Shop and Tom. Thank you for taking such great care of our vehicle!

Great guy. I hit a deer and luckily it only dented my hood, but I couldn’t open it for maintenance. He saw me immediately and fixed it with just the right tool. He taped it up in a few places and even popped my light back in that I didn’t even realize was out. And after doing all that he said it was free. He hooked me up and still did an amazing job

The Lava team is awesome. Quick to respond, easy to deal with and worked seamlessly with our auto insurance. On top of that our Santa Fe looks as good as new. Thank you Lava Auto Body!!!

I got a recommendation from the tow truck driver that picked up my deer mangled car. Seeing the google reviews and the large but very empty rear parking lot, raised my confidence. Western Pennsylvania is notorious for the good body shops being backed up for months during deer running or rut season which ended a month or so ago. My Subaru with moving head lights, sensors and emission control system got hit hard on the front right side. The sound the engine compartment was making when I pulled over wasn't good or familiar. I suspected a second radiator was destroyed -- possibly used for the turbocharger. I had no idea what else I may not be seeing. I dropped my car off, got excellent email and phone communication from Lava and got my car back much sooner than I expected. Before I picked it up, I asked if they had scanned the system. They said yes, both before and after. Two weeks later, everything is still looking good. No weird electronic issues. Paint is holding up. No odd noises. I adore their quality work and fantastic communication. Many thanks!
