A repair plan built from the factory procedures

Most bad repairs start with a bad estimate: one written from a spreadsheet, with cheaper parts and skipped steps. We start from the manufacturer's published repair procedures for your exact vehicle.

Those procedures say which parts can be repaired and which must be replaced, where welding is allowed, and which sensors need recalibration afterward. If the factory calls for it, it goes on the estimate.

Teardown before the repair starts

We take the damaged area apart first, so hidden damage is found and added to the claim early.

I-CAR Gold Class

Our technicians keep their collision training current every year.

Photo documentation

Damage, parts and repairs are photographed for you and your insurer.

Limited lifetime warranty

Our workmanship is backed for as long as you own the vehicle.
