Everything a car needsafter a bad day.

Structural repair, refinishing, panel work, calibration and detail — all under one roof on Lankershim, all to manufacturer procedure, all under the same limited lifetime warranty.

01 — Collision

Collision repair

From a parking-lot scuff to a car that arrived on a flatbed.

Every collision job starts the same way: full disassembly, so we can see the damage the estimate could not. Hidden bracket deformation, a cracked sensor mount, a rail that has moved four millimeters — this is where a repair is either done properly or quietly compromised.

We write the supplement, get it approved, and rebuild the car on the manufacturer’s published procedure using OEM or manufacturer-approved parts. Then we prove it: measured, scanned and documented before the keys go back in your hand.

  • Full teardown & blueprinting before a single part is ordered.
  • OEM and certified replacement parts — we will tell you plainly when an insurer pushes for anything else.
  • Pre- and post-repair diagnostic scans on every vehicle with electronic safety systems.
  • ADAS recalibration for cameras, radar and parking sensors disturbed by the repair.

02 — Refinishing

Auto painting

A repair is only invisible if the color is.

Paint is where most shops are found out. Sun-faded silver, a three-stage pearl white, a metallic that shifts in daylight — matching it takes a spectrophotometer reading off your actual panel, the factory formula as a starting point, and a sprayout card checked in daylight before anything touches the car.

We blend into adjacent panels rather than stopping at a hard edge, bake in a sealed downdraft booth, then cut and polish by hand so the new finish carries the same depth and orange peel as the original.

Color matching

Spectrophotometer reading, factory formula, daylight sprayout card.

Blended panels

Color carried into the adjacent panel so there is no visible edge.

Baked finish

Sealed, filtered downdraft booth — no dust, no solvent pop.

Cut & polish

Hand-finished clear coat to match the factory texture, not beat it.

03 — Structure

Frame & structural repair

The part of the repair you will never see, and the part that matters most.

A modern unibody is a designed crumple sequence. Once it has absorbed an impact, the only way to know it is straight again is to measure it — not to eyeball a panel gap.

We pull to specification on a computerized bench and print the before-and-after measurements. Mixed-material construction — high-strength steel, boron, aluminum — is handled with the welders and rivet-bonding equipment those materials require, because a steel weld on an aluminum structure is not a repair, it is a liability.

  • Computerized measuring with a printed report for you and your insurer.
  • Aluminum and high-strength steel repaired to manufacturer specification.
  • Sectioning only where the maker allows it — never where they do not.

04 — Panels

Body & dent repair

Most of what we do never involves an insurance claim at all.

Paintless dent repair

Door dings and hail dents worked out from behind the panel — original paint untouched, usually same day.

Panel replacement

Doors, fenders, quarters and hoods replaced and aligned to factory gap tolerances.

Bumper repair

Plastic welding, texture restoration and refinishing — with the sensors behind it put back correctly.

Rust & corrosion

Cut back to clean metal, treated, sealed and refinished so it does not come back next winter.

Glass & trim

Windshields, moldings, badges and hardware sourced and fitted as part of the repair.

Wheels & suspension

Curbed wheels refinished, alignment checked and reset after any structural work.

05 — Care

Auto bodycare
& detailing

Expert auto body care for a flawless, long-lasting finish.

Every car we repair is detailed before it goes home — inside and out, whether it came in for a quarter panel or a bumper cover. It is not an upsell, it is how the car should be handed back.

We also take standalone work: paint correction on swirl-marked black, clouded headlights restored to clear, and full preparation for a ceramic coating.
