  • Collision repair

    Repairing or replacing damaged sheet metal, on all makes and models. Our technicians are I-CAR certified, with training from Audi and Volkswagen.

  • Frame and structural repair

    Straightening or replacing the frame and frame-related components on our Celette and Chief racks.

  • Paint and refinishing

    We mix our own paint using Glasurit, a German brand made by BASF, from a large bank of toners and a computer formula database. The base coat is waterborne and the clear coat is urethane enamel.

  • Scratch and spot repair

    Small scratches near a panel edge can sometimes be spot repaired. We’ll look at it and tell you honestly what it needs.

  • Suspension, wheels and tires

    Suspension work, 4-wheel alignment, and tire mounting and balancing.

  • Electrical, airbags and systems

    Electrical repair, airbags and related components, and resetting computer systems after a collision.

  • Mechanical and interior

    The mechanical and interior work that comes with collision damage. Occasionally a car needs to visit a dealer for a specific computer or mechanical issue, and we’ll let you know.

  • Restoration

    We take on restoration work case by case. Feel free to ask, and if it isn’t the right fit we can refer you to another shop.

A Porsche door in the shop, masked with yellow tape around a repaired section of inner sheet metal

Some repairs take more than a part number.

A 1990 Porsche 964 came in with a damaged door check on the driver’s side. The door came off, the metal was cut out, and the inner sheet metal was repaired and welded back with a fabricated part. Then came the color match and the refit.

“It’s not a simple repair, and I was nervous… Repaint with color match and fitment of door back in car are all high quality.”
