Collision repair

This is most of what we do. After an accident the car comes in, we write up the damage panel by panel, then order parts. Bent metal gets pulled or replaced, then the panels are refinished to match the rest of the car.

If an insurance company is paying, we work from their estimate alongside ours. How a claim works

Dent repair

Door dings, a dent from a shopping cart, a crease from a post in a parking garage. Small dents get pulled or filled, sanded, then painted to match the panel. A large one may call for a new panel, which we tell you before any work starts.

Paint and refinish

We spray R-M and Glasurit. Both are BASF refinish lines made to match factory paint. The color is mixed in the shop from the paint code on your car, then sprayed inside a closed booth so dust stays out of the clear coat.

The new paint is matched to the panels around it, so the repair does not stand out.

Bumper repair

Plastic bumper covers crack, scuff, and pull loose from their clips. Some can be repaired and repainted. Others cost less to replace. We check the cover, the brackets behind it, plus any sensors mounted in it before we give you a price.

Frame straightening

A hard hit can push the frame or unibody out of line even when the outside damage looks small. We measure the car, pull it back to the factory measurements, then start on the panels. Doors, hood, and trunk close properly once that is done.

Auto glass

Windshields, door glass, back glass. We replace glass that broke in a collision as part of the repair, or on its own if that is all the car needs.

Paintless dent repair

When a dent has not cracked the paint, it can often be worked out from behind the panel with no filler or repainting. It is the quickest fix for door dings and small round dents. We tell you whether yours qualifies when we see it.

Fleet and commercial vehicles

Work trucks, vans, and company cars are welcome. If you have more than one vehicle to bring in, call the shop so we can plan the schedule around your work.
