Bay Equipment & Repair

In 1977, a reputed auto body repair chain decided to venture into the large vehicle repair business and opened a shop in Hayward, CA. At the time, Sam Portillo worked for the phone company as an engineer and lived in the same neighborhood as some of the executives from the body shop chain. Sam and his wife Terry discovered that the new shop was up for sale as a franchise, and in 1979, Sam decided to purchase it. Using his experience in the phone company and a lot of hard work, he started building up the RV and truck body repair shop, focusing on excellent customer service and strong customer relationships. The auto body repair company soon decided to keep their focus exclusively on cars and small trucks, and in 1981, Sam became the sole owner and changed the company name to CA BEAR RV Collision and Repair Center. Since then, CA BEAR RV Collision and Service has been dedicated to keeping our customers' vehicles on the road instead of gathering dust waiting to get the attention it needs.
