What Makes This Shop Unique?

Unlike other Collision Shops that conduct preliminary and supplemental estimates throughout the repair process as they uncover damage, this shop focuses on finding ALL the damage and creating a true Repair Plan from the start. Vehicles are brought into the shop and disassembled to uncover hidden damage as part of the estimating process, resulting in a 96% estimating efficiency rating where parts are ordered and repairs are fully mapped out before the car is officially accepted by the shop.

For the Collision Repair Technicians, this upfront investment in the estimating process ensures they are fully informed about the work required before they begin, allowing the Repair Team to maximize their efficiency and ensure the vehicle is repaired to pre-accident condition or better without having to stop partway through, add supplements and wait for approvals and/or parts.
