Collision

Body & Large Dent Repair

Not every dent can be repaired paintless. When damage is too deep or the paint is broken, our body shop handles it — panel repair, precision alignment and refinishing. We always tell you honestly which method your vehicle needs and why.

how it works

How collision repair works

  1. Inspection first

    We check first whether PDR can do it. If the metal is torn or the paint is broken, it goes to the body shop.

  2. Panel repair & alignment

    Damaged panels are reshaped or replaced and the gaps aligned so everything lines up again.

  3. Refinish

    Paint is mixed from your factory color code and blended into the panels next to the repair.

  4. Final check

    Fit, finish and color are checked under shop lighting before you pick the car up.

common questions

Questions

How long does hail repair take?

Once your insurance approves the repair, light to moderate hail with paintless repair only is usually done in 3 to 5 days. Severe hail that also needs body and paint work can take 2 to 3 weeks. Your total time depends on three things: how long insurance takes to approve, whether your car needs replacement parts, and whether those parts are in stock or on back order. We check all of this at inspection and keep you updated until your car is ready.
