Small shop, experienced people. The same crew handles your repair start to finish, and you can always ask for the person who wrote your estimate.

Who does what

Steve Darling, Owner

Steve runs the shop floor and writes estimates. If you have a build in mind or damage you are worried about, he is usually the one who walks out to look at it with you.

Michele Darling, Co-Owner

Michele keeps the business side moving, from insurance claims and parts ordering to scheduling, so your vehicle is not sitting while paperwork catches up.

Estimators

They document damage, photograph it for your claim and build the repair plan your insurance adjuster works from, so nothing gets missed at teardown.

Body Technicians

Frame and panel work, dent repair and metal fabrication. They are the reason a repaired panel lines up with the ones next to it.

Painters and Refinishers

PPG certified mixing, blending and clear coat work. They match your factory color, including faded and metallic finishes, and they block and polish before it leaves.

Fabricators and Install Techs

Six-door conversions, lift and lowering kits, wheels, lighting, audio, video, heated seats and remote starters, wired and mounted to last.
