Every vehicle that comes through the shop gets measured before it gets repaired. We check the front structure against OEM specifications, which catches misalignment that isn't always visible just by looking at the vehicle.

That data becomes the roadmap for the repair. It tells us exactly what needs to be pulled back into place, what needs to be replaced, and how everything fits back together so the vehicle performs the way it was built to, not just looks the part.

If you've been in an accident and need collision repairs, you can request a free estimate through our website anytime.

A door skin is the outer metal panel of a car door, the part you see and touch from the outside. When a door takes damage in a collision, whether it's a dent, crease, or more significant impact, sometimes the skin itself needs to be replaced rather than repaired.

Replacing a door skin involves carefully removing the damaged outer panel and welding or bonding a new one in its place, then refinishing and blending the paint so the repair is seamless. It's a more involved process than it sounds, but when done right the repaired door looks and feels exactly like the original.

Once the bumper comes off, the real assessment begins. This is where we find out what the collision actually did beyond the surface, and put together a repair plan that addresses everything properly before anything goes back together.

Another one in the shop and in progress. Front end damage like this involves more than what you see on the surface. Once panels come off and we get a proper look, we assess the bumper support, radiator, frame rails, and any components that took force in the impact before we put together a complete repair plan.

The moments right after an accident are stressful, and most people aren't sure what to do first. Derrick walks you through the steps so you know exactly what to do if it ever happens to you.

Before you load up the car and head out this summer, it's worth taking a few minutes to make sure your vehicle is actually ready for the trip. A long drive has a way of finding problems you didn't know existed.

A few things worth checking before you go: tire tread and pressure, brake pads, fluid levels, wiper blades, and whether any warning lights have been brushed off recently. If your car has any unresolved body damage, it's also worth knowing whether anything structural was affected before putting it through a long haul.

The goal is to enjoy the trip, not deal with a breakdown somewhere on Highway 20. If your vehicle needs a once-over before summer travel, request a free estimate through our website.

This one came in looking like it might be a straightforward front end repair. But once the bumper came off and we got a proper look underneath, the damage told a different story. Sometimes a collision that doesn't look catastrophic from the outside has caused enough damage to the radiator support, frame, and surrounding panels that the cost to repair correctly exceeds the value of the vehicle.

That's how a car gets declared a total loss. It's not always about how bad it looks. It's about what a thorough inspection reveals once the work actually starts. If you've been in an accident and aren't sure where things stand, request a free estimate through our website and we'll walk you through it.
