Transparency. Craftsmanship. Pride.

At Mooney’s Autobody Experts, we believe customers deserve to know exactly what’s happening with their vehicle every step of the way. Whether it’s a daily driver, a collision repair, or a classic car restoration, we keep the communication open and the surprises to a minimum.

This classic Mustang is a perfect example. Restoring and preserving a piece of automotive history takes patience, attention to detail, and a shop environment that reflects the quality of the work being performed. A clean, organized shop isn’t just about appearances—it’s about protecting your investment, maintaining quality standards, and ensuring every part and every repair gets the attention it deserves.

We take pride in showing our customers the process, explaining the repairs, and being honest about timelines, costs, and expectations. No smoke and mirrors. No cutting corners. Just quality workmanship backed by transparency and accountability.

Whether you’re bringing us a brand-new vehicle, a collision repair, or a classic that’s been part of your family for decades, you’ll always know where your project stands.

Clean shop. Clear communication. Quality repairs. That’s the Mooney’s way.

🦌➡️🚙 DEER HIT? YOU GET ONE CHANCE TO FIX IT RIGHT.

This Tahoe came to us after a deer collision down the side. Like many claims we see today, the insurance company wanted to save a few dollars by steering the repair toward cheaper alternative and used parts.

That’s where we stepped in.

At Mooney’s Autobody Experts, we fight for our customers—not the insurance company’s bottom line.

When it comes to your vehicle, we’re not interested in the cheapest way to put it back together. We’re interested in the right way.

✅ Proper repair procedures
✅ Quality replacement parts
✅ Correct panel fit and finish
✅ Color match that disappears in the sun
✅ Safety and structural integrity restored

The difference between a vehicle that’s “repaired” and a vehicle that’s restored is experience, craftsmanship, and refusing to cut corners.

Insurance companies have one job: control claim costs.

We have one job: return your vehicle to pre-accident condition.

This Tahoe is back on the road looking like the deer never happened.

If you’ve been told “that’s all the insurance will pay for,” give us a call. You might be surprised how often that’s not the end of the conversation.

Because your vehicle deserves better than the cheapest option on a spreadsheet.

🔥 CERAMIC COATING DONE RIGHT. 🔥

This truck was brand new when it rolled into our shop. Most people assume “new” means perfect. It doesn’t.

Factory paint still arrives with swirl marks, water spots, buffer trails, transport damage, fallout contamination, and other imperfections that most people never see until it’s too late.

Before we installed the ceramic coating, we spent the time doing the necessary paint correction to bring the finish where it needed to be. Then we coated:

✅ Entire exterior paint
✅ Wheels & wheel faces
✅ Interior surfaces
✅ Trim and protection points throughout

The result? A finish that looks deeper, glossier, cleans easier, and stays protected for years.

Here’s the difference between a professional ceramic coating and the bargain-bin coatings popping up everywhere:

Anyone can buy a bottle and call themselves a coating installer. The coating itself is only a small part of the process. The real magic is in the prep work, paint correction, product quality, installation procedure, and experience behind it.

A cheap coating over bad paint is still bad paint.

At Mooney’s Autobody Experts, we don’t chase the lowest price. We chase the best result. That’s why customers trust us with everything from daily drivers to six-figure trucks and show vehicles.

If you’re shopping ceramic coatings, ask questions:
❓ What correction work is included?
❓ What coating are they using?
❓ How long have they been installing coatings?
❓ What warranty backs it up?
❓ Are the wheels, trim, glass, and interior included?

Not all ceramic coatings are created equal, and neither are the installers.

This brand-new RAM left looking better than it did the day it was delivered.

🚨 Food Truck Cruise-In Reminder 🚨

We are excited to host another Food Truck Cruise-In and spend the evening with fellow car enthusiasts, families, and members of our community.

That being said, we need everyone's help to keep this event going for years to come.

Over the past couple of years, what started as a great cruise night unfortunately turned into multiple burnouts, street racing, and takeover-style activity on public roads around the event. While nobody minds hearing a little horsepower as cars leave, there is a big difference between responsibly enjoying your vehicle and creating dangerous situations that put others at risk.

Please remember that Mooney's Autobody Experts is our family business. We work hard to provide a place for people to gather, show off their vehicles, support local food trucks, and have a great time. We want to continue hosting this event year after year, but that can only happen if everyone is respectful of our neighbors, local law enforcement, and the community that supports us.

If burnouts, street takeovers, racing, and repeated reckless behavior continue, we may have to reconsider hosting future events.

Let's show everyone what the car community is really about—great people, great vehicles, and respect for those around us.

Thank you for your support, and we'll see you at the cruise-in! 🇺🇸🏁

Another one rolling out of Mooney’s Autobody Experts tonight. 🔥

This 2008 Corvette came in with right front collision damage and left looking cleaner, sharper, and better than ever. We handled the repairs, laid down the details, added a few custom touches, installed fresh Anzo headlights, and finished it off with new side skirts to give it that aggressive stance it deserved.

Anybody can bolt parts on. The difference is making everything fit, flow, and finish like it belongs there from the factory. That’s where experience matters.

This Vette is officially back on the road and turning heads again. 💪🏁

Sometimes it’s not about how BIG the repair is… it’s about getting it RIGHT.

This one came in today after already being back to another local shop twice for the same issue. The customer was hesitant, frustrated, and honestly just wanted answers at this point. The fix itself wasn’t major — but that’s exactly the point. Even the “simple” things matter.

At Mooney’s Autobody Experts, we don’t believe in sending vehicles back out hoping the problem disappears. We believe in diagnosing it correctly, fixing it correctly, and standing behind our work.

Anybody can get a vehicle out the door. Not everybody takes the time to get it right.

Quality. Experience. Attention to detail. Every vehicle. Every time. 🔥

Today we pause the grind, shut down the noise, and remember what this day is truly about.

Memorial Day isn’t just another long weekend. It’s about honoring the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice so we can enjoy the freedoms we often take for granted every single day.

At Mooney’s Autobody Experts, we’re grateful for the opportunity to serve our community, raise our families, build our dreams, and do what we love — all because of the heroes who gave everything for this country.

Today we remember the fallen.
We honor their sacrifice.
We thank the families who continue carrying their legacy.

Take a moment today. Fly the flag. Spend time with your family. Appreciate the freedom we’ve been given and never forget the price that was paid for it.

From all of us at Mooney’s Autobody Experts — thank you to our military heroes and their families.

🇺🇸 We will never forget. 🇺🇸

We understand everybody wants a good deal, and there will always be someone willing to do it cheaper. But when it comes to ceramic coatings, price alone doesn’t tell the story. Ceramic isn’t just opening a bottle and wiping it onto a vehicle. The quality of the coating matters, but so does the experience behind the installation.

The prep work is where the difference is made — proper decontamination, paint correction, surface preparation, understanding paint systems, and knowing how to install the product correctly. A coating is only as good as the surface underneath it. If shortcuts are taken there, no coating in the world will magically fix it.

Years of experience in paint, finishing, correction, and understanding what customers expect all matter. Anyone can advertise a lower price. Not everyone can deliver long-term results, durability, gloss, and a finish that still turns heads years later.

We’ve never built our name on being the cheapest shop in town. We’ve built it on quality, experience, and standing behind our work. There’s a difference between paying less and getting less… and investing in something done right the first time.”

This is why you don’t listen to your insurance company!

I had a little discussion with an adjuster, he explained he was “going to get dinged” if he wrote this boxside for
replacement.

I have no doubt in my mind if this was going to an drp or “service first” bodyshop it would be filled with bondo and shipped home.
