Auto Body & Paint
Learn About Auto Body Repair in RichmondFull Body Paint / Repaint
Complete color restoration, full vehicle repaints, and color changes. Whether you’re refreshing a faded finish or going with something completely new, we deliver a factory-quality result using professional-grade PPG paint systems.
Touch-Up Paint & Scratch Repair
Paint chips, key scratches, parking lot damage, and minor scuffs. We restore the affected area and blend seamlessly with your existing paint so the repair is invisible.
Bumper Repair & Painting
Cracked, scuffed, or dented bumpers repaired and refinished. We also paint replacement bumpers to match your vehicle’s exact color.
Clear Coat Restoration
Peeling clear coat, oxidation, and sun damage repaired. We restore your vehicle’s protective layer and bring back the original shine.
Color Matching
Computerized precision color matching to ensure any repaired or repainted area blends perfectly with the rest of your vehicle. We match to OEM paint codes for an exact result.
Rust Repair & Treatment
Rust spots, panel corrosion, and underbody rust removed and treated. We repair the damaged area and apply rust prevention to stop it from coming back.
Collision Repair
Full Collision Repair
From fender benders to major collisions, we handle complete structural and cosmetic restoration. Every repair follows manufacturer guidelines and is finished to pre-accident condition.
Insurance Claims
We work with all major insurance providers — State Farm, GEICO, Progressive, Allstate, USAA, and more. We handle the paperwork, communicate with your adjuster, and make the process as smooth as possible.
Dent Repair
Dent Repair / Paintless Dent Removal (PDR)
Door dings, hail damage, and minor dents removed — often without needing to repaint. For larger dents, we repair and refinish the area to factory standards.
Suspension Services
All Types of Suspension Work
Lifts, lowering kits, shock and strut replacement, coilover installation, alignment-related suspension work, and performance upgrades. We handle all suspension types for cars, trucks, and SUVs.
Commercial & Freight Vehicles
Body & Paint for Commercial Vehicles
We’re equipped to handle large vehicles that most body shops can’t accommodate — box trucks, semi-trailers, cargo vans, and fleet vehicles. Services include collision repair, full repaints, DOT compliance repairs, and fleet branding/color work.
