With all the on-board computers and electronics in today's vehicles it is imperative to properly prepare for repairs.  Modern welders generate powerful voltage. To protect your vehicle we use a "weld safe" process to disconnect any devices and appliances (air bags) that could be damaged by excessive voltage.

Exact computer color matching determines our DuPont paint mix. Our painting technician, Chris, uses the Chromovision camera to determine the paint mix he will use on the finished vehicle. This camera adjusts to the car's current "aged" colors and helps achieve a perfect paint match. The repaired part is painted and the edges blended and feathered into the older paint. This creates a virtually undetectable paint job.Chormovision Camera reads the car's color and allows exact matching.
