It didn't look like much... until you looked a little closer.

This Acura came to us with damage to the left front corner. What many people don't realize is that collision repair is about more than replacing parts.

✔️ Damage assessment
✔️ Proper fit and alignment
✔️ Priming and refinishing
✔️ Color matching
✔️ Reassembly and final detailing

Every step matters.

Here's a look at how this Acura went from dented and damaged to back on the road looking like it never happened.

Thank you for trusting LAVA Auto Body with your vehicle. 🚗✨

From damage assessment to final delivery.

This Toyota RAV4 needed repairs to the rear liftgate area, but a quality repair is about more than fixing what's damaged—it's about restoring the vehicle so everything fits, functions, and looks the way it should.

Here's a look at the process from start to finish.

Because good repairs aren't just seen in the final result—they're built into every step along the way.

Happy 17th Birthday to Conner! 🎉

Many of our customers know Johnny, but today we're celebrating his son, Conner.

He's been spending time learning the trade, helping around the shop, and gaining valuable hands-on experience. We're proud of the young man he's becoming and excited to see where life takes him.

Help us wish him a happy birthday!
