Collision and Tesla Repair for Normandy Park
Murray's CARSTAR Collision is about five minutes from Normandy Park at 22001 Pacific Hwy S in Des Moines. We are a Tesla Approved Collision Center and an I-CAR Gold Class shop, we repair every make and model, and estimates are free.
Normandy Park Has No Body Shops. We Are the Closest.
Normandy Park is small, residential, and has essentially no commercial strip, which means every collision repair in the city gets done somewhere else. We are the somewhere else that happens to be five minutes away, up over the hill to Pacific Highway South. We are also a Tesla Approved Collision Center, which matters because Tesla grants that approval to individual buildings, and there is no closer approved facility. In practice it means genuine Tesla OEM parts, the published repair procedure for your specific VIN, technicians trained on aluminum and high-strength steel, and in-house recalibration of the cameras and radar when the work is finished. If you drive anything else, the same team handles it to the same standard, and at 4.8 stars across more than 800 reviews we are one of the busiest shops in the south Sound.
Five Minutes, No Freeway
Every route out of Normandy Park heads for the same highway.
From Marine View Drive
Up First Ave S or SW 200th to Des Moines Memorial Drive, then south to Pacific Highway South. We are on the highway at S 220th Street. Five to eight minutes from most of the city.
From the Cove and Manhattan
From Normandy Park Cove or the Manhattan neighborhood, S 200th or S 216th east will put you on the highway within a couple of miles. There is no part of Normandy Park more than about ten minutes from our door.
Towing and Rentals
If your car cannot be driven, have it towed from Normandy Park to our Des Moines shop. Our towing partner, Pete's Towing, can bring it in, or your insurer or roadside assistance can arrange the tow. Just give the tow driver a key. A tow truck can drop it off after hours. Tesla customers can ask about our VIP concierge fleet, subject to availability. Call (206) 824-8454.
Walk-Ins
If you drive a Tesla you are welcome to come by during business hours with no appointment and we will write the estimate while you wait. For any other make, a quick call first means we can have someone ready for you rather than keeping you waiting.
Sensor Recalibration After Even Minor Damage
The repairs that come to us from Normandy Park are mostly residential-street and driveway damage, plus the occasional deer or falling branch off the ravine and greenbelt roads. That kind of damage looks contained, and the panel work often is. What people do not expect is the recalibration, because bumper covers, mirrors, and headlight housings are exactly where manufacturers mount the radar, cameras, and ultrasonic sensors that run automatic braking, blind spot monitoring, parking sensors, and lane keeping. Replace the cover without recalibrating and the vehicle looks finished while its driver assistance measures the road from the wrong position. On a Tesla, recalibration after structural or glass work is a documented requirement rather than a judgment call. We do it in house, document the result, and give you the paperwork with the car. See our guide to Tesla ADAS calibration.
You Choose the Shop, Not Your Insurer
Washington law gives you the right to choose your own repair shop, whoever you are insured with. Your insurance company can suggest a shop from its list; it cannot require you to use one, and choosing us does not slow the claim or cost you extra. We work with all insurance companies, both inside our direct repair program network and outside it, coordinate directly with your adjuster, document the repair plan, and file the supplement ourselves if disassembly turns up damage nobody could see at the estimate. On a covered claim, most customers pay their deductible and nothing else. Our insurance page covers the process end to end, and our warranty page covers what protects the work: the Murray's Collision Group limited lifetime warranty on workmanship for as long as you own the vehicle, plus CARSTAR's Limited Five-Year Nationwide Warranty on repairs completed at our Des Moines shop.

No, we do not pick up vehicles. If the car is drivable, bring it to our Des Moines shop at 22001 Pacific Hwy S during business hours.

Yes, every make and model, including gas vehicles, hybrids, and non-Tesla EVs. Those repairs are carried out at our Burien facility, operated by Murray's Collision Group, using the same OEM-approved procedures and backed by the same limited lifetime warranty. Your free estimate is written at our Des Moines shop, and because Burien is not a walk-in location we arrange that drop-off with you over the phone.
Yes. We work with all insurance companies, both inside our direct repair program network and outside it, and we bill most major carriers directly. A carrier's preferred-shop list affects billing paperwork rather than the repair or the warranty behind it, and Washington law gives you the right to choose your own shop regardless of that list. Call (206) 824-8454 with your carrier and we will explain exactly how your claim will run.
