The difference between this and a collision centre is where the work stops. We do the metal: cutting out rot, fabricating and welding in panels, straightening structure, dressing welds and treating everything so it does not come back. What we do not do is chase insurance work or run a paint booth.
That is why a lot of the cars here arrive after somebody else said no. A twelve year old daily driver with rockers and cab corners gone is not economic for a collision centre, but it is a straightforward afternoon of cutting and welding, and it buys the owner several more winters.
Cracked, bent and rusted frame sections repaired with welded in plate. Collision damage and corrosion both, with the repair reinforced where the original section was the weak point.
Structural welding after an impact. Panels, brackets and undercarriage damage brought back to a solid, aligned state.
Rotted sections removed and replaced with new welded panels. Rockers, cab corners, floor pans, bed sides, wheel arches and shock towers, which is where Ohio salt lands first.
Bent and torn panels repaired with welding and fabrication in steel or aluminum, then aligned and reinforced so gaps sit right.
Scoops, panels, mounts, tubs and reinforcements fabricated to your design. If you can describe it or draw it, it can usually be built.
Doors and panels that no longer line up realigned, welded and refitted so they close properly instead of being forced.
Vintage sheet metal repaired with the original contours preserved rather than filled.
Welds dressed, surfaces smoothed and metal treated so your painter starts from clean, sound steel.
No. We take the metal work through to dressed, treated and ready for paint, and you take it to your painter. Being honest about that up front saves everybody time.
That is a large share of what comes through here. A car being uneconomic to a collision centre and a car being unrepairable are two different things, and the second is much rarer than the first.
Yes. Aluminum takes cleaner prep and tighter heat control than steel, which is why many shops will not take it, but it is regular work here.
Body and panel work, all of it metal repair rather than filler over the top.
Most quotes come back the same day the shop is open. Free, no obligation, and if it cannot be repaired you will hear that straight.
