Initial Assessment
Every collision repair begins with a thorough damage assessment. We document all damage, create a detailed repair plan, and provide a comprehensive estimate. This step ensures we identify hidden damage that might not be immediately visible.
Structural Repair
Using our computerized frame measuring system, we restore structural components to factory specifications. For unibody vehicles, this includes precision measurement and adjustment of critical suspension and safety mounting points.

Our skilled body technicians perform all necessary repairs, from panel replacement to dent removal. Painting is done in our down-draft booth using premium materials for a factory-quality finish.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our collision repair services
How long will my collision repair take?
Repair times vary based on the extent of damage. Minor repairs might take 3-5 days, while more complex jobs can take 2-3 weeks. We'll provide a more accurate timeline after our initial assessment and keep you updated throughout the process.
Do I need to get multiple estimates?
You're not obligated to get multiple estimates, though you're certainly welcome to. Most insurance policies give you the right to choose your repair shop. We're happy to work with any insurance estimate and will provide our own detailed assessment.
Will my insurance rates go up if a claim?
Rate increases depend on many factors, including your insurance policy details, who was at fault, and your claims history. Not-at-fault accidents typically have less impact on rates. We recommend checking with your insurance agent to understand how a claim might affect you.
Do you use aftermarket or OEM parts?
We strongly prefer OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts for collision repair because they ensure proper fit, finish, and function. We'll always advocate for OEM parts with your insurance company. If an aftermarket part is necessary due to availability or cost, we'll discuss this with you first.
