Auto Body Repair

After your vehicle is evaluated, it moves into the body shop, where we remove all parts requiring separate repair or replacement and perform body and structural repair work. Meanwhile, all repair work undergoes a rigorous quality control inspection.

Auto Paint Repair

Once bodywork is complete, your vehicle begins the painting and polish process. First, our expert painters utilize computer technology to find the exact color match based on manufacturer codes before applying fresh paint. Your vehicle is then polished and prepared for reassembly before entering another quality control checkpoint.
