The Body Panel Repair Process
Our certified technicians strive for perfection with each job they undertake. When beginning the restoration of your model’s body panels, they inspect the damage and create a clear path toward full health.
Our facility has all the tools necessary to smooth out or restore any body panel. If it has a long scratch or scuffed paint, we’ll be able to provide the cosmetic touches needed to have your car looking brand new again. If the body panel has a dent, we can smooth out the surface using a couple of different processes.
In certain instances, a complete body panel replacement is necessary. If that’s the case for your model, we’ll simply access our parts center to find the right fit. We fully stock our parts center to quickly get local vehicles back on the road.
If we don’t have the exact fit for your make, model, model year, and trim level, we’ll order it through our dealership network. Once the part arrives, we’ll handle the installation, and you’ll be set to return to the roads!
