The future is NOW! With manufacturers incorporating increasingly complex systems into their offerings like accident avoidance technologies, the average “industry-standard” body shop is not equipped or trained to restore your vehicle to true pre-accident condition. These technologies are no longer reserved for the high-end market and have been required on every new car manufactured since 2023.
OEM, or Original Equipment Manufacturer, repairs are performed using factory-fresh parts and procedures performed the way the automaker intended. Our methods ensure the safety, fit and finish of your car is restored to pre-accident condition. We have committed substantial resources to provide our clients best-in-class service by embracing and successfully completing the ongoing collision center / technician certification and training programs offered to select facilities by the following manufacturers:
