Will my paint match perfectly?+

We use computerized color-matching technology to analyze your vehicle's exact paint code, age, and environmental fading to reproduce a seamless match. In most cases, the repaired area is completely indistinguishable from the original paint. If needed, we also blend adjacent panels for an invisible finish.

What is paintless dent repair (PDR)?+

Paintless Dent Repair is a technique used to remove minor dents and dings without affecting the paint. Using specialized tools, our technicians carefully massage the metal back to its original shape from behind the panel. PDR is faster, more affordable, and preserves your original factory paint. It's ideal for hail damage, small door dings, and minor dents where the paint is still intact.

Can you fix rust on my vehicle?+

Yes. We handle surface rust removal, rust treatment, panel repair, and in severe cases, panel replacement or fabrication. Rust should be addressed as soon as possible to prevent it from spreading to surrounding metal. Contact us for a free assessment.

How should I care for my vehicle after a paint job?+

For the first 90 days after a fresh paint job: avoid automatic car washes, don't wax the new paint yet, wash gently by hand if needed, and avoid parking under trees where sap or bird droppings could damage the fresh clear coat. After 90 days, you can treat it like the rest of the vehicle.

What payment methods do you accept?+

We accept cash, all major credit cards, and checks. We accept cash, all major credit cards, and checks.
