While part of the building we are located in was built in 1948, the facility itself utilizes high tech state of the art repair equipment to achieve extremely high quality repair.

Our technicians use Swedish made frame repair equipment to restore the exacting tolerances required for quality unibody restorations. Damage sustained to a unibody structure requires a much higher tolerance of repair specifications than full frame vehicles do. This is because of the front wheel drive systems these vehicles employ. We can exceed the plus or minus 3 mm tolerance specified by most automobile manufacturers. With our exacting laser measuring system, we can achieve a 1 mm tolerance. This is very accurate.

Our frame benches are mounted on hydraulic lifts to give us the access necessary to reach the underbody damage that is so hard to get access to.

We employ state of the art welding systems including M.I.G. (Metal Inert Gas), T.I.G. (Tungsten Inert Gas), and the latest S.T.R.S.W. (Squeeze Type Resistance Spot Welding). Using S.T.R.S.W., we can replace the welded-on panels of your vehicle to pre-accident condition, making it extremely difficult for even the very highly trained eye to detect repair history. Thus, your investment is protected at time of future trade-in or resale.

Our paint system is a state of the art computer mix system from Holland. We use only the best and most accurate color system to protect our customer's investment and keep us from performing costly and time consuming re-dos.

Our spray booth employs an outside air supply that is heated in a large furnace to give us a clean temperature controlled environment to refinish our repair work in while at the same time protecting the outside atmosphere from airborne contaminants.

Our office staff uses three different computer systems to supply information that is necessary to successfully run our business. We receive the most current parts and labor pricing from our information provider and are capable of bar coding this data to your vehicle to prepare an accurate estimate of repairs of the visible damage.
