Comprehensive Collision Repair Services

B&J Body Shop offers a comprehensive range of collision repair services, including auto body repair, that we take great pride in. Our services include:

• Auto body paint

We are committed to restoring your vehicle to its pre-accident condition.

Our paintless dent repair service is especially popular for fixing minor dents, offering a quicker and less costly process that preserves your vehicle’s original paint. And to give your vehicle that fresh-off-the-lot look, we reapply a fresh coat of paint after collision repairs, ensuring your vehicle returns to its factory finish.

Frame Straightening

A vehicle’s frame is its backbone, and any damage to it can significantly impact the vehicle’s performance. Our frame straightening service involves:

• Using specialized equipment to apply pressure to your vehicle’s frame

• Returning it to its original shape post-collision

• Attaching chains to the frame

• Using hydraulic tools to pull the frame back into shape

Once the basic shape is restored, additional work such as welding, shaping, and cutting may be done to meet safety requirements. By correcting any bends in the metal framework, frame straightening restores your vehicle’s structural form, ensuring it’s ready to hit the road with confidence.

Auto Detailing

B&J Body Shop offers auto detailing services that go beyond immediate collision repair. Our detailing services can include:

• Buffing out minor scratches

• Repainting

We understand that a vehicle’s beauty is all about the details, and we are committed to providing the highest quality service to make your vehicle, including light trucks and rental car, look its best.

These services significantly enhance your vehicle’s appearance, refreshing its look after the necessary collision repairs. By addressing aesthetic details through polishing, waxing, and interior work, we help in maintaining or even increasing your vehicle’s value post-repair. With us, your vehicle doesn’t just run like new – it looks like new too!
