DJ is Amazing!!! We were having terrible trouble with our accessible bus and could not get anyone to fix it. DJ came in and, within an hour, had it running! He also fixed one of the accessible doors. Very honest and trustworthy. Super nice! As a woman, I felt safe and heard. Reasonably priced! Highly Recommended!!!

Questions

Common Body Repair Questions

Most body repairs run from about $500 for a minor dent to $6,500 or more for major structural work. The price turns on the damage, the parts, and whether insurance covers the claim. You get a written estimate up front, so there is no guessing.

We handle the full range, from minor dents and cracked bumpers to crushed panels and bent frames. That covers panel repair and replacement, metal fabrication, automotive welding, dent removal, and frame straightening. If it touches the body or structure of your vehicle, our crew fixes it right.

Small panel and dent work takes two to four days. Bigger jobs with frame straightening or panel replacement can run one to two weeks, depending on parts and insurance approval. You get a clear timeline with your written estimate, and we keep you posted.

Frame repair and custom metal fabrication are core parts of what we do. We straighten frames with computerized measuring, verify the structure against factory specs, and fabricate panels no longer sold. Every structural repair meets manufacturer safety standards.

We repair cars, trucks, and SUVs of every make and model. Our technicians work with steel, aluminum, and composite panels, and match the welding and repair method to the metal your vehicle was built with. That keeps a repair strong and safe.

Most auto policies cover collision-related body repair, and we work with every major insurer. We document the damage, send photos and an estimate to your adjuster, and handle supplements if hidden damage turns up. Under Texas law you choose your repair shop, not your insurer.
