Federico's Auto Body

A pro auto body paint job is about more than appearances. In fact, many automotive experts view quality finishes as one of the most important stages, because it helps individual parts last longer and preserves a car’s overall integrity and value.

When parts are replaced, you have your choice between after-market materials or OEM parts (original equipment manufacturer). The choice is up to you. In many cases, there is little, if any difference between the two, if they are new. However, if your vehicle is still under warranty, you may want to select OEM parts to make sure you do not void it.

Depending on your insurance company, they may have a drive-in claims center, and ask you to take your vehicle there first. This is your choice, and you can accept or decline the invitation. If you wish, you can leave your vehicle with us and request that your insurance company send the adjuster to our location.

Whether it’s for a first date, a meeting with the boss, or just your own pride, those dings, dents, and scratches from minor collisions can leave a bad taste. Fortunately, they’re not hard for a collision repair expert to take care of to get your car looking great again.

There are two types of car paint: water-based paint and solvent-based paint. Both of these use a liquid that holds the pigment in suspension. Once it’s applied to the car, the liquid evaporates and leaves the pigment behind on the car.

A key part of getting the right paint and body repairs is making sure that you have the right parts. Paint and body experts know how to track down the exact right parts for your car to make sure the repairs are done flawlessly.

Damage to car frames because of a wreck is no longer the severely devastating condition it once was. Modern machines make straightening frames easier, and they do an excellent job of restoring them to their normal alignment.

The process that maintains the paint job on your car, whether it’s new or used, is proper waxing. Waxing a car not only maintains the clear coat topper, but it prevents rusts and reduces the appearance of scratches.

Never drive a car that can be unsafe or dangerous to operate due to damages sustained by an accident. It is always recommended to have your vehicle towed to the repair shop after an accident.

In a major collision, much of the time, the frame is damaged, which can completely offset the way the rest of the vehicle looks and drives. Fortunately, with quality collision repair, in most cases, the frame can be restored to its original condition and performance.

Do you have a fleet of cars for your salesmen? No matter how hard you try, odds are good that some minor collisions can occur. Fortunately, a collision repair expert can work out a rotation schedule to keep your sales fleet looking fantastic and on the road at the same time.

After your house, your car is usually the second-largest investment that you make, so why compromise with a substandard job? Taking it to a collision expert is the best way to take care of your investment and protect it.

You might have heard that you need multiple estimates or appraisals, but these are not actually required by law. If you already know a collision repair expert you trust, then it’s better to go with them right off the bat.
