Collision Repair
Being in a collision, whether it's your fault or not, can be a super stressful time. There's a lot to figure out, from possible tickets, injuries, doctor bills, car rentals, and of course, getting your vehicle repaired.
Our collision repair services include:
- Complete structural assessment and repair
- Frame straightening and alignment
- Panel replacement and repair
- Expert color matching and painting
- Mechanical repairs related to collision damage
We like to take as much stress out of the situation as possible. We will work directly with your insurance adjustor to get the repairs authorized and your vehicle back in motion and looking good. We work hard to have clear lines of communication with all parties, including the rental car company, in order to get you taken care of well.
Auto Body Repair
Our technicians have an extensive background repairing vehicles of all makes and models. We specialize in comprehensive auto body repairs, including:
- Body rebuilding for severely damaged vehicles
- Precise panel alignment and restoration
- Custom fabrication when necessary
- Structural integrity restoration
- Professional finishing to restore factory appearance
Once your vehicle is here on-site, we'll work through a detailed process that includes a proper evaluation of the damage incurred to your vehicle. It's common to have other damage behind what's visible that can also affect how your vehicle drives. We check for all of it, thoroughly.
Bumper & Bumper Repair
Modern vehicle bumpers are designed to absorb impact and protect critical components. Our bumper repair services include:
- Bumper crack repair and refinishing
- Bumper replacement when necessary
- Custom color matching for seamless appearance
- Restoration of bumper mounting points

With our specialized equipment and experienced technicians, we can often repair bumpers that other shops might replace, saving you time and money while maintaining your vehicle's original components.
Dent Repair & Scratch Removal
Minor dents and scratches don't just affect your vehicle's appearance—they can lead to rust and further damage if left unaddressed. Our services include:
- Paintless dent repair when appropriate
- Traditional dent repair for more severe damage
- Expert scratch removal and blending
- Paint touch-up and refinishing
- Clear coat restoration
We encourage our clients to take the time to address those "smaller" repairs, which will help save you time, money, and stress later on, making your vehicle safe on the road so you stay worry-free.

Western North Carolina experiences severe weather that can result in extensive hail damage to vehicles. Our hail damage repair services include:

- Calibration of attached sensors and cameras
- Proper sealing to prevent leaks
- Insurance claim assistance
Our technicians are trained in modern windshield replacement techniques, ensuring proper fit and function for today's sophisticated vehicles.
Auto Painting
Your vehicle's finish does much more than just make your car look good. It also functions as a protectant to the metal underneath, shielding it from corrosive agents (such as water or salt), keeping your vehicle from rusting and falling apart.
A simple scratch can expose the metal frame underneath, beginning a rust spot that eats away at your car. This can cause much larger problems as time goes on, and a much larger bill to fix.
Our auto painting services include:
- Expert color matching to factory specifications
- Two-stage urethane painting process
- Chip and scrape repair
- Complete vehicle repainting
- Partial panel refinishing and blending
- Clear coat application and buffing
It's important for you to know that there's no such thing as a paint made by Toyota, Chevrolet, Nissan, etc., then sold outside the factory. Sherwin Williams, PPG, Martin Senour, and other paint suppliers provide dealerships their paint, and us as well. We want to be clear about this so that you know: any repair facility, so long as they have the correct equipment and know-how, can mix the exact color of your vehicle.
We take our time in matching and mixing the tints for your vehicle (based on your unique VIN), as well as removing necessary items, masking off moldings, removing any particles, and giving it a final buff. We complete those extra steps that will make you totally satisfied with the outcome.
