What We Do for Collision Repair

  • Comprehensive Damage Check
    We begin with a full inspection of your vehicle, checking not just the visible areas but also hidden spots where collision damage often shows up.

  • Frame and Body Repair
    If the frame is bent or panels are compromised, our I-CAR trained team straightens, repairs, or replaces them to restore safety and structure.

  • Safety and Interior Repairs
    Collisions can impact airbags, sensors, and interior parts. These parts are fixed or replaced so your car’s safety systems and comfort are fully restored.

  • Computerized Paint Matching
    Using advanced paint-matching technology, we ensure the finish blends seamlessly with your car’s original color.

  • Final Detailing and Warranty
    Before handing back the keys, we clean your vehicle inside and out. Each repair includes our limited lifetime warranty, so you know the results will last.

Don’t Wait to Get Collision Damage Repaired

Even damage that looks small can affect how your car drives. A bent frame or hidden airbag issue isn’t always obvious right away. Scratched paint can also lead to rust if it’s not fixed quickly.

Delaying repairs often makes the damage worse—and more expensive. Insurance approvals can also get more complicated the longer you wait.

Scotty’s did a AMAZING job repainting my tri color pearl white car. It wasn’t just any regular paint job. I drove off with my car shining bright like diamonds when the sun hit it…. THAT made me forget all about the fact someone t-boned me weeks prior. Thanks for the awesome paint job & ALWAYS being there when I need you. And the front desk ladies at BOTH locations are SUPER nice & knowledgeable. Bad experience turned good. Thanks!!
