Frequently asked questions
Vehicles all have the paint code on them from the factory. We look up that paint code in our advanced computer system and get the mixing formula. Our vehicles all have the various colors to mix your specific paint code. We can even alter the color to help match your vehicle even better than just going off the paint code.
We streamlined the entire process. With one person responsible for the entire process, there is no need to wait for the next technician to continue. Think of it like having the ability to go straight to see the doctor instead of all the other things that eat up time when you do go to a doctors office.
Yep. With the year make and model ( example: 2023 Cadillac Escalade) we automatically know so much about the vehicle such as color options. We service a large area so we need to know that for scheduling and availability. Pictures show us everything we need to know to give you an exact quote for your minor autobody repair. We even have a video to help you see what type of pictures we need to give you an exact quote for your minor autobody repair.
As long as you stay back the recommended distance while driving and only travelling locally, you can drive your vehicle after our autobody repair is complete in about 2 hours. Less time if it is only the rear bumper. Each autobody repair is different so if you are on a tight schedule, ask us and we can give you a estimated time to wait after for your specific vehicle repair.
No. We actually prefer to complete the entire autobody repair in your driveway. Sunlight helps us better see any autobody damage like scratches or faded paint that you just don't see in the darkness of a garage. UV light from the sun also helps speed up the drying process in our primer, automotive paint and clearcoat.
No. We do not see any significant benefit to removing a bumper just to paint it. The reason old school bodyshops do that is because of workspace. With a bumper on the car you will need a single car garage just to work on it. If you take the bumper off then you can cram 5 or more technicians in there to work on 5-10 bumpers in the same space. Also we don't like to remove bumpers to repair them because they often don't line up quite as good as before.
Have you noticed how colors get more amazing each year? Typically the prettier a color is, the more difficult it is to mix or match. Three stage colors like pearl white have always been difficult to match. Teslas are hard too since the manufacturer does not allow the major paint companies to match vehicle colors as the come down the assembly line like every single other manufacturer does.
