Collision Repair
Our ICBC-accredited collision repair service restores vehicles to pre-accident condition using advanced equipment and OEM-certified techniques. We handle all damage levels, from minor dents to structural repairs, with lifetime warranty coverage. Our process includes insurance coordination, computerized estimates, and precision frame straightening for safety and durability.
Insurance Claims
We streamline insurance claims for ICBC and private providers with direct billing and documentation. Our team manages paperwork, provides rental vehicles, and offers free estimates to expedite repairs. This service ensures transparent communication between clients, insurers, and our technicians for hassle-free resolution.
Auto Body Painting
Our auto body painting service uses color-matching technology and premium materials for seamless finishes. We repair scratches, chips, and full repaints while maintaining factory standards. Paint services include surface preparation, multi-stage coatings, and clear protection to preserve vehicle value and appearance.
Frame Straightening
Computerized frame straightening restores vehicle alignment to manufacturer specifications using hydraulic systems and laser-guided tools. This critical service ensures safety, handling, and proper fit for repaired components. Technicians perform multi-angle adjustments and stress tests to guarantee structural integrity post-collision.
Dent Removal
We offer precision dent removal for hail damage, door dings, and minor impacts without repainting. Using paintless dent repair (PDR) techniques, technicians access panels from behind to reshape metal while preserving original finishes. This cost-effective service maintains vehicle value and requires no body filler or sanding.

This place is split with great staff and horrible staff. When I brought my first car here everything was great. Than when I brought my second car here everything was a nightmare. The manager called me personally to apologize sincerely which was nice of him so I decided to give the place one last chance presently and was let down again. I called in and the desk women seemed to be trying to hurry to rush off the phone and instead of booking me in for anything she told me to send some stuff in through text message and that ill receive a call the next day. So after i got off the phone i received a

The people there are young, very outgoing and have really great interpersonal skills. BUT it's almost as if they use that to their advantage to try and get away with things. They took no accountability when they realized they didn't put our spare tire back in its intended spot (under the truck). Instead they quickly gave a story saying they couldn't find the tools to be able to put it back. One guy said "ah Ford models..", which was another excuse, no accountability and no apology. Instead the situation was laughed off, trying to maintain their "likability" rather

***BE AWARE OF INCOMPLETE REPAIRS*** Surface work may shine but underneath work were mostly POOR quality and incomplete. Attempted to FALSIFIED ICBC claims but they were caught! Nobody including the owner did not own up nor apologize. Impersonal communication by hiding behind text messages. POOR communication within staffs. WARNING...don't get SCAMMED!!! Protect yourself and go to a professional instead.

I was very disappointed with this place. I had scratches and dents on my car door that I wanted to fix. I came here to get a quote. Before I came here, I went to other auto shops to compare prices, and I knew this damage would cost around $4000 since the damage was quite bad... After I parked the car, an estimator came and said this would cost $5000, and perhaps even more after the whole project....
As soon as she said those numbers, I knew I was being ripped off. She further tried to add unnecessary services like adjusting the wheel alignment just to add on more costs.... Funny thing is she never
