Body, paint & mechanical, all under one roof
Most shops make you go two places. We handle the collision work and the mechanical work, so your vehicle comes back finished.
Collision Repair
Complete accident repair from minor fender damage to major structural work. We restore your vehicle to pre-accident condition and safety.
Auto Body & Dent Repair
Dents, dings, scrapes, rust and panel replacement. Careful bodywork so the repair disappears into the original lines of the vehicle.
Paint & Refinishing
Factory-matched color and clear coat, from a single panel to a full repaint. Blended so the new finish matches the rest of the car.
Frame & Structural
Frame straightening and structural repair measured to manufacturer specifications, so the vehicle tracks straight and protects you the way it was designed to.
Mechanical Service
Oil changes, front-end alignments and the mechanical repairs that often come with a collision, such as suspension, cooling and steering components.
Estimates & Insurance Claims
