Proudly Serving The Bay Area for 40+ Years
Established in 1982
Serving the Bay Area since 1982, Michael J’s is a proud 3rd-generation, family-operated collision repair facility built on trust, craftsmanship, and genuine care for our customers. What began in San Jose as a small neighborhood shop with a big vision—to deliver honest, high-quality repairs with a personal touch—has steadily grown into one of the most trusted and respected names in Bay Area collision repair.
Over the past four decades, our family has remained dedicated to doing things the right way: treating customers like neighbors, prioritizing safety above shortcuts, and standing behind every repair that leaves our shop. From advanced structural repairs to the smallest cosmetic refinements, we approach every vehicle with the same level of precision and pride.
At Michael J’s, you’re not just another repair ticket. You’re part of the community that’s trusted us for more than 40 years, and we’re honored to carry that responsibility forward every day.

The Story of Michael J's Collision Center
Founded in 1982 with a single shop off Almaden Expressway, Michael J’s entered a new chapter when Jeff and Janie Ryan purchased the business in early 2002. Through hard work and a commitment to building a strong, dedicated team, they expanded the company and opened two additional facilities on Taylor Street and Gish Street. While the original Almaden location has since closed, Michael J’s continues to proudly serve the community from its two current locations. Today, Jeff and Janie’s two sons, Spencer and Nick, have also joined the family business. Michael J’s remains a truly family-owned and operated body shop—an atmosphere you can feel the moment you walk through the door.
