Auto Body Repair
Our auto body repair service specializes in restoring vehicles after collisions, offering scratch repair, dent removal, and panel replacement. Using advanced techniques and premium materials, we ensure seamless results. With over two decades of experience, our certified technicians complete 90% of repairs within 1-3 days. The service includes lifetime warranties, free paint color matching, and a commitment to preserving your vehicle's value through precise restoration techniques.
Paintless Dent Removal
Specializing in paintless dent removal, we restore vehicles without repainting by gently massaging dents from metal panels. This non-invasive technique preserves original finishes and is ideal for dents without paint damage. Our experts handle dents up to 5 inches in diameter on vehicles under 20 years old. The process typically completes in one day, offering cost savings of up to 50% compared to traditional methods while maintaining factory paint integrity.
Hail Damage Repair
Our hail damage repair service restores vehicles pockmarked by hailstones using paintless dent removal techniques. Specialists handle minor to moderate damage without repainting, preserving original finishes. The process typically completes within one business day at 60-70% cost savings versus panel replacement. We work with insurance providers and offer lifetime warranties. Our nine Florida locations provide convenient access to certified technicians experienced in restoring hail-damaged vehicles to pre-storm condition.
Wheel Repair
Specializing in wheel and rim repair, we restore damaged alloy wheels to factory condition. Our technicians handle curb damage, bends, and cosmetic scratches on aluminum wheels. Most repairs complete within 24 hours using specialized equipment to reshape, weld, and refinish wheels. The service includes lifetime warranties and cost savings of up to 70% versus replacement. We match factory finishes precisely and offer free inspections to assess repair feasibility for various wheel types.
Lease Turn-in Repair
Our lease turn-in repair service prepares vehicles for return by addressing excess wear according to manufacturer guidelines. We provide free inspections using manufacturer-specific criteria to identify required repairs. Specialists handle paint chips, dents, and interior wear at 40-60% cost savings versus dealerships. The service includes lifetime warranties on repairs and works with all major manufacturers' excess wear policies. Our nine locations offer convenient scheduling to prevent last-minute penalties during lease vehicle returns.

I went for an estimate, and the guy walked around my car, which mind you had very little to zero body work needed, and said oh this is going to cost you 6k at least for just a paint job on a small toyota corolla, out of their minds.

I also wanted to let you know that high prices on fuel and cleaning supplies and the difficulty in finding staff at this time, cleaning fees have increased by $20 starting in May. Thanks for your understanding!

Came in and brought my adjuster paper work from car insurance company as someone told to me to when I called earlier. the person who deals with insurance was working with an couple so I sat patiently and waited once he was done. He continued to work, make phone calls and etc like I wasn't there at all. It's so hard to just get simple customer service these days

Professional, Punctual, HONEST. I had two body issues with a brand new car that I had only 2 weeks, dent in the trunk, and rocker panel scratched to the frame. Dominic to the rescue! He gave me a very fair, honest quote of which I returned my car to him to fix. Both jobs were complete same day. My car looked brand new again! I am so thankful their are still honest people who do not take advantage of those do not know the difference between a $700 fix from a $7k fix. Dominic and his team are top notch!
