Auto Body Repair, Explained

 We are a fully OEM-certified body shop, and we repair vehicles to the standards their manufacturers set. We're also happy to share what we know. Here's a plain-English guide to the most common types of auto body repair, so you understand what your vehicle needs before you ever get an estimate.

Common Types of Auto Body Repairs

Dent Removal

Minor dents (from door impacts or small collisions) are usually fixed with Paintless Dent Removal, a quick, cost-effective method that preserves your original paint.
Major dents (from significant impacts) call for metal reshaping or panel replacement, followed by color-matching and painting.
Hail damage (weather-related) is handled with a combination of Paintless Dent Removal and traditional techniques for a full restoration.

Scratch Repair

Clear-coat scratches sit at the surface and are buffed out to restore shine and protect the paint underneath.
Paint-layer scratches go deeper, through the paint, and are fixed with touch-up painting blended seamlessly into the existing color.
Primer-level scratches reach all the way to the primer and need sanding, primer, repainting, and a fresh clear coat for a flawless finish.

Paint Restoration

Localized damage (from minor accidents or weather) is corrected with spot painting for precise coverage and an exact color match.
Extensive wear (from major collisions or long-term weather exposure) is addressed with a full vehicle paint job for a comprehensive refresh and a premium finish.

Glass Repair & Replacement

Chips are small, localized damage, repaired to restore both integrity and clear visibility.
Cracks are larger and more serious; we assess whether a repair is safe or whether full replacement is the right call, always prioritizing your safety and the structural integrity of the vehicle.
