Why do we remove trim and blend panels when painting?
Because that's the right way to do it.
✅ Trim and moldings are removed so all edges can be properly sanded and prepped for long-lasting paint adhesion.
✅ Adjacent panels are blended because even the correct paint code rarely matches perfectly due to age, sun fade, and factory variations.
A quality paint job is much more than spraying color—it's the preparation and blending that make the repair look factory correct. 🚗🎨

🚨 READ YOUR INSURANCE POLICY 🚨
Most people have no idea how their vehicle will be repaired after an accident until it's too late.
Many insurance policies allow the use of aftermarket, recycled, or salvage parts instead of new OEM parts. That means the parts used to repair your vehicle may not be the same parts it left the factory with.
Before an accident happens, ask your agent:
✅ Does my policy include OEM parts coverage? ✅ Will aftermarket parts be used? ✅ Are recycled or salvage parts allowed? ✅ What options do I have to protect my vehicle's value and warranty?
Don't wait until your car is torn apart in a body shop to find out what your policy covers.
The cheapest insurance policy isn't always the best policy.
Know what you're paying for. Ask questions. Protect your investment.

Today's vehicles require specialized aluminum repair tools and training. Using the wrong equipment can contaminate the metal, weaken repairs, and compromise safety.
⚠️ Not every shop is equipped to repair aluminum correctly.
Make sure your vehicle is repaired with the proper tools, procedures, and expertise.

🚗 Insurance Policy Checkup: When's the Last Time You Reviewed Yours? 🚗
Most people don't know what's in their policy until after an accident.
Take 5 minutes and check:
✅ Do you have rental car coverage?
✅ Are OEM (factory) parts covered?
✅ What is your deductible?
✅ Do you have towing coverage?
✅ Do you have enough liability coverage?
Knowing these answers before an accident can save you money, stress, and surprises later.

One of our customers recently discovered they had some unexpected tenants building a luxury condo under the hood! 🪺🐦
Besides birds, we've seen mice, squirrels, and other critters make themselves right at home inside vehicles. Unfortunately, they don't pay rent—and they love chewing on wiring, insulation, and anything else they can find.
⚠️ A few minutes of checking under the hood can help prevent:
✅ Expensive wiring repairs
✅ Warning lights and electrical issues
✅ Engine damage
✅ Potential fire hazards from nesting materials
So every now and then, pop the hood and take a quick look around. You never know who might be living there rent-free!

Most insurance companies have a “preferred shop” network because it saves them money and gives them more control over the repair process.
That doesn’t always mean it’s the best choice for your vehicle.
You have the legal right to choose the repair shop YOU trust — not the one the insurance company suggests. A quality repair should be based on proper parts, correct procedures, and safety… not just the cheapest estimate.

People complain new cars are made of ‘plastic.’
Well… that ‘plastic’ helped turn a hospital visit into an insurance claim. 😅
Modern vehicles are designed with crumple zones, lightweight metals, airbags, and sensors that absorb impact energy before it reaches the passengers.
The car is supposed to crumple. YOU are not.” 🚗💥
