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.

The name "LAVA" gets more attention than I expected. It's just a short version of our last name, LaVanish. It comes from the nickname, Johnny LAVA, which I've had for over twenty years. When I named the shop "LAVA Auto Body" my friends, family and I all laughed about it. Sometimes I wish I'd been more serious in considering a name, but as it is, it still makes me grin.
We offer budget repairs to keep you driving safely without leaving you poor. Our budget repairs will get you through Pennsylvania inspection safely, while still leaving you money for the important things in life. Just call and explain your situation and we can custom tailor repairs to fit your budget and situation.

Positive: Professionalism, Punctuality
Had two seperate accidents that both required body work over the past couple of months. Took my car both times to Lava and both experiences were professional and seamless. I received phone calls that kept me updated and received by car at an early time then estimated. Would recommend to anyone in the area

My cars passenger side headlight, front side engine hood and passenger side fender was damaged. I am a PSU graduate student and I had only basic insurance coverage. So I had concern about money. They set up a quote for me and worked accordingly. I was surprised by seeing the car. They made my car almost new. Hard to understand that it was damaged in the front. They collected old parts, finished work and handed over the car 1 day before the deadline. I would say they are super professional.

I had Some damage on the front of my car that caused the door to get caught. He willingly helped me adjust panel so the door wouldn’t constantly rub against the panel. Understood my problem and money situation and was super kind about the whole process. I really appreciate you guys for what you did, thank you so much! Highly Recommend!!!

Had to replace the splash guard on my vehicle they got the part in the next day . I took and dropped it off the night before the service was done and they called the next morning to let me know it was ready. They were very friendly and did an excellent job. I would recommend them and trust with my cars anytime.

They did an awesome job on my 2017 Jeep Cherokee when I hit a deer, or rather the deer hit me! It looks flawless. I was able to drop my car off after hours which worked great for my busy schedule. I dropped it off on a Sunday and picked it up on a Friday (it was done on Thursday but I wasn't able to get in to get it). Pickup was fast and easy and the staff was very helpful. I would highly recommend this company.
