Comprehensive Auto Body Repair Services That Restore Peace of Mind

From minor fender benders to major collision damage, our auto body repair services are designed to address every aspect of vehicle restoration:

Collision Repair

Our collision repair process goes beyond surface-level fixes to address hidden damage that could compromise your safety:

• Computerized frame straightening to restore your vehicle’s structural integrity
• Advanced diagnostics to identify and repair damage to electronic safety systems
• OEM parts used whenever possible to ensure perfect fit and function
• Expert color matching that makes damage disappear completely
• Post-repair safety inspections to verify all systems function properly

Modern vehicles are engineering marvels with carefully designed crumple zones and safety systems that protect occupants during accidents. Our computerized frame straightening equipment precisely measures and corrects structural damage to restore these critical safety features to factory specifications. This precision is essential—even millimeters of misalignment can affect how your vehicle handles or how safety systems deploy in future accidents.

Today’s vehicles contain dozens of electronic safety systems and sensors that can be damaged or misaligned during collisions. Our advanced diagnostic equipment identifies issues with these systems that might be overlooked by less thorough shops. From airbag sensors to adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assistance, we ensure all electronic safety features function correctly before returning your vehicle.

We understand that your vehicle is essential to your daily routine. That’s why we work efficiently to get you back on the road quickly without sacrificing quality or cutting corners on critical safety repairs.

Paintless Dent Repair

Not every dent requires extensive bodywork and repainting. Our paintless dent repair service:

• Preserves your vehicle’s original factory finish
• Costs significantly less than traditional body repair methods
• Completes most repairs in hours instead of days
• Works perfectly for hail damage, door dings, and minor dents
• Maintains your vehicle’s resale value by avoiding unnecessary repainting

Paintless dent repair (PDR) is a specialized technique that allows our technicians to remove dents without disturbing your vehicle’s factory paint. Using custom tools and manipulating the metal from behind, our PDR specialists can massage dents out of panels while preserving the original finish. This technique is particularly valuable for maintaining your vehicle’s resale value, as factory paint is always preferable to even the highest quality repaint.

The Fargo-Moorhead area experiences severe hailstorms that can leave vehicles peppered with dozens or even hundreds of small dents. Our PDR team has extensive experience with hail damage restoration, efficiently addressing multiple dents across your vehicle’s hood, roof, and panels. What might take weeks with traditional body repair methods can often be completed in just a day or two with our paintless techniques.

Our skilled technicians can often remove dents without a trace, saving you time and money while preserving your vehicle’s original finish and value.

Expert Paint Services

A quality paint job is about more than just appearance—it protects your vehicle from the harsh Fargo-Moorhead elements:

• Computerized color matching ensures an invisible repair
• High-quality automotive paints with superior durability
• Proper preparation techniques that prevent future peeling or bubbling
• Climate-controlled paint booths for dust-free, perfect finishes
• UV-resistant clear coats to protect against fading and environmental damage

The science of automotive paint has advanced significantly, with modern vehicles featuring complex finishes that can include multiple layers, metallic flakes, pearl effects, and color-shifting properties. Our computerized color matching system analyzes your vehicle’s exact paint characteristics, accounting for age and environmental factors that affect appearance. This technology, combined with our painters’ expertise, ensures seamless blending between repaired areas and existing paint.

Proper preparation is the foundation of a lasting paint job. Our technicians meticulously clean, sand, and prime surfaces before applying paint, ensuring optimal adhesion and preventing future issues like peeling or bubbling. We use climate-controlled paint booths that maintain ideal temperature and humidity while eliminating dust and contaminants that could mar the finish.

Whether you need a small scratch repaired or a complete vehicle repaint, our paint specialists deliver flawless results that stand the test of time.
