Most likely if you find yourself needing body repairs done to your vehicle, it may have some sort of dents but, there is a lot that you cannot see underneath, such as frame damage and other broken parts.

Auto Body Painting

A new paint job might be necessary after a collision involving your vehicle, to protect a classic vehicle’s exterior from the elements, or even to simply improve the aesthetics. At Spirit West Rapid Refinish, we routinely do paint jobs on vehicles with bodies that are marred by scratches, rust, rock chips, paint swirling, or any other damage.

Minor Collision Repair

If your vehicle has suffered minor “fender bender” damage, small or large dents, a broken mirror, or split plastic bumpers, our expert staff can get your vehicle looking like-new and on the road as quickly as possible.

Paintless Dent Removal

Have you walked out of the grocery store to your vehicle and you are met with a dent in a door or other body panel? This is very common for customers needing help from repair shops. Stray shopping carts, hail, and even flying rocks can leave noticeable dents. If these dents are left untreated, they can cause expensive paint damage down the road. Paintless dent repair requires no fillers or sanding, as a trained technician uses a variety of special tools to slowly push dents back into place or use special glue-pulling attachments without harming the paint finish. Getting you back on the road in no time. This is a very cost-effective and long-lasting way to keep your vehicle looking great. Ask us about the PDR process and estimates.

Window Repairs and Replacements

Auto glass damage can come in various forms, including chips, cracks, and breaks. In some cases, the glass is repairable, but if the damage is too severe, a windshield or window replacement is necessary.

Whether you are involved in a minor accident or have small dents or dings in your vehicles body, you may have many questions about the repair process of your vehicle. Understanding the ability of your body repair shop is important. These four repairs above are common repairs that body shops like Spirit West Rapid Refinish are asked to complete on a regular basis.
