Collision repair & auto body services

Collision repair, from a scuffed bumper to a folded frame.

One shop, one point of contact, from the tow in to the wash before you pick it up.

Collision repair

Front, rear and side impact. Panels replaced or repaired to whatever the damage actually calls for.

Frame & unibody straightening

Measured against factory spec and pulled back to it. If it isn't square, the doors and tires will tell on us.

Auto body paint & refinishing

Sealed, based and cleared in a downdraft booth, then color-sanded and buffed so the repair disappears.

Dent & hail damage repair

Paintless dent removal on door dings, hail and creases where the finish is still intact.

Bumper repair & replacement

Cracked covers welded and refinished instead of replaced, when it's the right call for the repair.

Mechanical & alignment

Suspension, steering, cooling and A/C work that comes with a hit, plus a four-wheel alignment before it leaves.

Our work

Before and after, on cars we actually repaired.

Drag the slider. The whole job of a collision repair shop is that the second photo looks like the wreck never happened.

The part most shops rush

Nobody should be able to tell which panel we touched.

A bumper that's half a shade off is the thing you'll notice every morning for the next six years. So we pull the paint code off your VIN plate, spray a test card, hold it against your car in daylight, and adjust the mix until it disappears.

  • Factory code pulled from the VIN, then tinted by eye
  • Spray-out card checked against your panel in sunlight
  • Color blended into adjacent panels, never cut at the seam
  • Clear coat color-sanded and buffed to factory gloss

Reviews

What people say once they've got the car back.

Somebody ran a red light and folded my whole passenger side. They dealt with the adjuster so I never had to argue with anyone. You cannot find the repair.

My insurance pushed me toward their own shop. I brought it here instead and the estimate was clearer, the timeline was honest, and they called me the day parts came in.

Hail got my roof and hood. They quoted it two ways so I could see whether filing was even worth it. Ended up paying cash and saving my premium.

Insurance claims

It's your car. It's your choice of body shop.

Your insurer can recommend a collision repair shop. In Texas, they can't require one. Bring us the claim number and we'll take it from there — estimate, photos, supplements and direct billing to the carrier. You pay your deductible when you pick the car up, and nothing else.

Not filing a claim?

Ask for the cash price.

Small dents, a scraped bumper, a door someone opened into you in the parking lot — if the repair is close to your deductible, filing may cost you more than the fix. Tell us the situation and we'll quote it both ways so you can decide.

Straight answers

Collision repair questions everybody asks.

Do I have to use the shop my insurance company picked?

No. In Texas the choice of repair shop is yours. Your carrier can suggest a shop in their network, but you can bring the claim here and they still have to pay the claim.

How long will my car be in the shop?

A bumper cover and refinish is usually two or three days. Structural work with parts on order can run two weeks or more. You get a target date at the estimate and a call from us if anything moves it.

Who pays my deductible?

You do, when you pick the vehicle up. Everything above it we bill directly to your insurer.

Can you really match my paint?

Yes. We pull the factory code from your VIN, mix and tint it, spray a test card, and check it against your panel in daylight before anything gets sprayed on the car. Then we blend into the neighboring panels so there's no hard line.

Can you handle towing and a rental?

We'll coordinate both. Call us before you have it towed anywhere and we'll get it brought straight here.

What if you find more damage after teardown?

That's normal on a collision. We document it, file a supplement with your adjuster, and call you before any additional work starts.
