Auto Body Repair Painting and collision center
How to choose the best auto body paint shop.
Choosing the best auto body painting shop can have a huge impact to the overall quality of your finished auto body repair. Although the overall quality of work provided by the auto body repair trade has improved significantly in recent years, there are still many different ways of selecting an auto collision repair and paint shop. Here are some tips on finding the best auto body paint shop.
1 – Auto Body Painting by Referral
Talk to family and friends about their experiences with auto body paint shops. Have they found a company in the past that delivers premium quality paint finishes, excellent customer service and will guarantee their work?
Industry and trade magazines are a also a great way to find reputable auto body repair painting shops in your area. Companies found in the trade magazines are more likely to operate at the higher end of the automotive repair industry and usually have a strong reputation for producing quality auto refinishing and repairs.
2 – Industry Recognition?
Make sure that your auto body paint shop of choice is recognized by a reputable trade organization or a guild of master craftsmen.
3 – Quality Materials
Always choose an auto body paint shop that uses the best specialist trade materials. The automotive repair sector only has a small handful of universally-recognized suppliers and your auto custom painting shop should be using at least one of these.
Choose an auto body repair painting company that uses safe, water-borne color materials in place of isocyanate-based paints
4 – Check out the work area
Ask to see the auto body repair painting shop where your vehicle will be worked on. A clean workplace is a good indication of professionalism and commitment to quality. Avoid auto body repair workshops that are littered with masking paper, tools and equipment. If employees are unconcerned about their work conditions, it’s highly likely that they’ll be unconcerned with the overall quality of your finished vehicle as well.
5 – Ask your Insurance Company
If the Auto body painting being carried out is undertaken by your insurance company, ask which auto body paint shops they tend to use in the local area. Insurance companies are incredibly fussy about the repair collision companies they assign their work to and realize that the auto body paint shop is also representative of their own image.
