Under the booth lights

Auto repair and paint specialists. Bring us the dent, the scrape or the whole car, and we’ll tell you straight what it needs.

  • Collision repair

    Collision specialist

    Fender benders and harder hits. We repair the damaged body work, refinish the paint and bring the car back to how it should look.

  • Minor repairs

    Small jobs welcome

    Not every job is a big one. Small damage gets the same care as a full repair, at a price that makes sense for the size of the job.

  • Paint, up to full paint jobs

    Paint specialist

    From a single panel to painting the whole car, we bring the same care and over 15 years of experience to every vehicle.

  • Insurance claims

    Claims welcome

    Going through your insurance after an accident? Bring the car in and we'll work with your claim. Paying yourself? Ask us for a price first.

Like it never happened

A crumpled bumper, a pushed-in hood, a headlight hanging loose. We fix it and paint it, then hand you back a car you’re happy to look at.

“Did a beautiful job on our Kia Soul after a fender bender. It looks even better than before the accident! Highly recommend.”

“They gave me a great price for the work they did on my SUV. I Didn't even have to replace my door, so I'm grateful I didn't have to buy a new part for this accident. Everything works and I recommend checking in with them before getting overly charged somewhere else. Thank Hugo!”
