Expert Collision Care for Every Fort Collins Driver
Comprehensive Auto Body Repair & Collision Restoration Services in Fort Collins
Structural & Unibody Repair – Restoring Factory Integrity
Many modern vehicles use unibody construction, where the frame and body are structurally integrated. A collision can compromise this design, leading to:
- Misalignment of safety crumple zones, affecting crashworthiness.
- Subtle frame distortions, which impact wheel alignment, suspension geometry, and overall drivability.
- Compromised weld points, reducing the structural integrity of impact-absorbing areas.
Our computerized frame straightening and laser measurement systems restore your vehicle’s structure to factory tolerances within millimeters, ensuring it performs as originally designed in the event of another impact.
Advanced Dent Repair & Paintless Dent Removal (PDR)
Hailstorms, parking lot dings, and minor collisions can leave behind unsightly dents that devalue your vehicle. We provide:
- Paintless Dent Removal (PDR): A non-invasive technique that maintains factory paint integrity by massaging dents from behind the panel without the need for sanding or repainting.
- Traditional Dent Repair: For deeper dents that affect metal memory, we use precision pulling techniques, body fillers, and refinishing for a seamless repair.
- Aluminum Panel Repair: Unlike traditional steel, aluminum requires specialized tools and heat-controlled repair methods to prevent warping and maintain tensile strength.
OEM-Approved Auto Painting & Refinishing – Perfect Color Matching
A professional paint job is about more than aesthetics—it’s a critical factor in protecting your vehicle from:
- Oxidation and rust caused by exposed metal surfaces.
- UV degradation, which can cause fading, peeling, and cracking over time.
- Environmental contaminants like road salt, acid rain, and industrial pollutants.
Our computerized paint matching system ensures a seamless blend with your vehicle’s original factory finish. Using BASF Glasurit waterborne paints, we replicate OEM coatings for durability and environmental compliance.
Our paint booth utilizes downdraft technology to create a contaminant-free environment, ensuring a flawless, high-gloss finish with long-term resistance to chipping and fading.
Bumper Repair & Replacement – Impact Absorption Restored
Bumpers are engineered with energy-absorbing materials that reduce crash impact. Even seemingly minor bumper damage can lead to:
- Hidden internal damage to crash sensors affecting airbag deployment.
- Structural weaknesses in impact zones, increasing the risk of further damage in future collisions.
- Alignment issues that affect panel fitment and aerodynamics.
We assess bumper damage, ensuring no underlying structural issues are missed before performing repairs or OEM-approved replacements.
Auto Glass & Windshield Replacement – Safety & Optical Clarity
Your windshield is a structural component of your vehicle, contributing to roof support and airbag deployment accuracy. A compromised windshield can result in:
- Decreased rollover protection due to weakened adhesion.
- Optical distortion, affecting driver visibility and reaction time.
- ADAS system malfunctions, including lane departure warnings and automatic braking failures.
Our OEM-quality glass replacements maintain manufacturer specifications, and we perform post-installation ADAS recalibrations to ensure safety features function as designed.
