The damage we see from Tempe
Parking around ASU and Mill Avenue is tight, and garages are tighter. Most of this work is small, visible and annoying rather than serious.
- Door dings and dents from the car parked next to you
- Scuffed and cracked bumper covers from garage pillars
- Deep scratches and key marks through the clear coat
- Broken bumper tabs that leave the cover hanging loose
- Mirror caps knocked off in a narrow lane
- Hail dents on cars that sat outside through a storm
Claim it or pay for it yourself
Small damage isn't always worth a claim. We give you the number first, then you decide which way to go.
- A free estimate tells you the repair cost before you call anyone
- If the repair costs less than your deductible, a claim pays you nothing
- Filing can affect what you pay later, so it's worth knowing the number first
- If you do file, we handle the adjuster and the paperwork for you
- Either way the workmanship carries our limited lifetime warranty
Send photos before you drive up
Nobody wants to make a 40 minute round trip twice. Photos get you a written estimate before you commit to the drive.
- Take one wide photo of the car and two close ones of the damage
- Add a photo of the VIN so we can order the right parts
- We reply with a written estimate and how long we'd need the car
- You book the drop-off once you're happy with the price
- The number can change if we find damage underneath the panel
Leases, students and paint matching
A lease return with dents gets charged back to you, usually at the dealer's rate. Fixing it first is normally the cheaper end of that.
- Paintless dent repair where the paint is unbroken, which keeps the factory finish
- Computer matched paint, blended into the panels next door so it doesn't show
- A written estimate you can forward to a parent or a leasing company
- Most small jobs measure in days, not weeks
- Open Monday to Friday, 7:30am to 5:00pm. We're at 8120 E Raintree Dr

FAQs
What Tempe drivers ask us about small damage and the drive up.
How far is your shop from Tempe?
Roughly 20 minutes north on the Loop 101 from central Tempe, longer in rush hour. Get off at Raintree Drive and head east.
Do you fix small parking lot dents?
Yes, that's a lot of what we do. If the paint isn't broken we can often use paintless dent repair, which pushes the dent out and keeps the factory paint on the panel.
Should I file a claim for a scratched bumper?
Get the estimate first. If the repair costs less than your deductible, a claim gets you nothing and still goes on your record. We'll give you the number free so you can decide.
Can I get an estimate without driving up?
Yes. Send photos of the damage through our online estimate page. We come back with a written estimate and a rough repair time, so you only make the drive once.
Will you work on a leased car?
Yes. We give you a written estimate you can show the leasing company, and we repair to the maker's procedures so the work holds up at lease return.
Do you repair hail damage?
Yes. Light hail dents usually come out with paintless dent repair. Where hail has cracked the paint, the panel needs refinishing, and we'll show you which of the two your car needs.
What if my car can't be driven up there?
Call us and we'll arrange a tow to the shop. We don't have our own truck, so we call an operator we know and send them to you.
