Collision repair, done the way the factory wrote it
Collision repair
Structural and body repair to the manufacturer’s published procedures.

Factory color match, blending and a finish that disappears into the car.
Paintless dent repair
Hail and door dings removed without filler or new paint, when the paint is intact.
Frame measuring & repair
Measured before, during and after, so the structure is back where the factory put it.
Fleet & commercial
Work trucks, vans and municipal vehicles back in service fast.
School bus repair
A facility sized for full-size buses, trusted by local districts.
Honda & Acura certified
Kankakee County’s only Honda and Acura certified collision repair facility.

Insurance claims
Every carrier. Your car, your choice of shop.
What happens to your car here
Seven steps, the same for every car. You get updates by call, text or email, whichever you prefer.
Free estimate
Walk in, book a time, or send photos. We look at the car with you and explain what we see. No obligation.
Claim & teardown
Going through insurance? We send our estimate to your carrier. Once the car is here we take apart the damaged area to find hidden damage and get it added to the claim before repairs start.
Parts ordered
We order the parts your car’s manufacturer calls for. On Honda, Acura, Ford and Lincoln repairs that means genuine factory parts.
Structure & body
Frame and structural work is measured and repaired to the manufacturer’s published procedures, then the body panels are repaired or replaced.
Paint & refinish
Color is matched and blended in our paint booth so the repaired area disappears into the rest of the car.
Calibration & quality check
Cameras, radar and driver-assist sensors are recalibrated where the repair calls for it. Every car gets a final inspection before we call you.
Pick up with a limited lifetime warranty
We walk you through the repair and hand you a registered limited lifetime warranty, good for as long as you own the car.
Why the parts matter
Your insurance estimate may list aftermarket or salvage parts. Here’s the difference, side by side.
On Honda, Acura, Ford and Lincoln repairs, we write the estimate from the automaker’s repair procedures, not an insurance spreadsheet. If your policy won’t pay for factory parts, we’ll show you where the difference is before any work starts.
- Made by your car’s manufacturer to the original specs
- Built to fit the same mounting points and gaps as the panel it replaces
