Our Auto Body Repair process

Every repair is a little different, but here's how we typically get your car back to its best:

  1. Free estimate. Bring your car in or send us photos and we'll take a close look at the damage, then explain exactly what needs doing and what it'll cost — no surprises.
  2. Insurance coordination. If you're going through a claim, we work directly with your provider to handle the paperwork and get everything approved.
  3. Repair or replace. We straighten dents, smooth out scratches and, where a panel is too far gone, replace it with quality parts. We use OEM-grade parts so everything fits and performs the way it should.
  4. Paint blending and refinishing. We refinish with the same OEM paint your vehicle came with from the dealer and blend it into the old paint over a larger area, so you're never left staring at a mismatched panel.
  5. Final inspection and hand-back. Before you pick it up, we go over the whole job to make sure the fit, finish and feel are right. Then your car goes home looking like new.

Whether it's a single scuffed fender or damage across several panels, we take the same careful approach every time. Accidents happen — but dealing with the repairs shouldn't be another headache.

What we fix

Auto body damage shows up in a lot of forms, and we see it all:

  • Dents and dings, from parking-lot taps to bigger impacts
  • Scratches and scuffs that have gone through the paint
  • Creased, bent or crumpled body panels
  • Full panel replacement when the damage is too severe to repair
  • Rust and surface damage that needs cutting out and refinishing
  • Blending OEM paint over a larger area so repaired areas sit seamlessly with the rest of the car

From minor cosmetic touch-ups to serious collision damage, we restore your vehicle with precision and care. And if your car isn't drivable, towing is available to get it to our shop safely.

    I had to get a dent from bumping into a parking pillar fixed, and Carlos's shop was the only shop open within a 20-minute radius after I got home from work. He was extremely helpful in answering all of my questions and gave me a quote immediately after I sent him photos of the damage. I called several other places the next morning to compare prices, but Carlos's was, without a doubt, the most competitive. I brought my car in that afternoon (a Thursday), dropped it off, and my car was ready for pick-up by Monday. All the other places gave me an estimate with a new bumper, but Carlos and his guys were able to keep my old bumper and repair it like nothing ever happened. He insisted that they could fix it and they did! I can't believe the sorcery they pulled off, but the photos don't lie. I can't thank Carlos and his guys enough for saving me during a highly stressful time. I love my Sadie Benz and I feel so happy that she's okay again.

    I want to share my experience with the body shop I recently took my car to. From the moment I arrived, the treatment was excellent; the staff was very professional and provided me with personalized attention. The work they did on my car exceeded all my expectations. After an accident, my vehicle had several visible damages, but when picked up, it looked completely new, as if it had never suffered any damage. The quality of the work is impeccable, and it was noticed that they use state-of-the-art materials and techniques. Without a doubt, I recommend this workshop to anyone who needs bodywork repairs. I feel completely satisfied with the results and the attention received.
