Paint Refinishing & Restoration

We restore your vehicle’s exterior to pre-accident condition with meticulous surface prep, OEM-standard coatings, and perfect color blending. Every panel is refinished to match factory depth and clarity.

Paint Corrections & Surface Restoration

Swirl marks, oxidation, and minor surface defects dull your vehicle’s finish over time. Our multi-stage correction process restores clarity and gloss, ideal before ceramic coating or resale.

Ceramic Coating Protection

Protect your paint investment with advanced ceramic coating technology. Our coatings create a hydrophobic, high-gloss barrier against UV rays, oxidation, and contaminants, reducing long-term maintenance.

Hail & Paintless Dent Repairs

Minor dents and hail damage can often be repaired without repainting. Our paintless dent removal (PDR) techniques restore panels without affecting your original factory finish, fast, cost-effective, and insurance-approved.
