Every panel.
Every coat.
By hand.

I-CAR Gold Class is the highest training recognition in collision repair. Fewer than twenty percent of body shops nationwide hold it. Our technicians complete advanced training every year on aluminum, high-strength steel, ADAS calibration, and EV battery-safe procedures.

We don't subcontract. We don't cut corners. The car leaves the shop the way it would leave the factory.
