Mercedes-Benz collision repair at Raintree Auto Body in Scottsdale

The certification, without the dealership

Elite is the top rung of the Mercedes-Benz program. Earning it is not a plaque you buy.

  • Our techs train through Mercedes-Benz and keep that training current
  • We run the welders, benches, and measuring gear the program calls for
  • We repair to the steps Mercedes-Benz publishes for your model
  • We fit genuine Mercedes-Benz parts, ordered through the factory channel
  • Mercedes-Benz audits the shop, so the standard has to hold every day
  • You talk to one person here, not a service desk and a rotating advisor

Models we take in

Scottsdale and Paradise Valley drive a lot of Mercedes-Benz. We see most of the range.

  • C-Class and E-Class sedans, the cars we see most
  • S-Class sedans, where the finish has to be perfect
  • GLC, GLE, and GLS body work and panel repair
  • G-Class, where panel fit and trim are their own puzzle
  • AMG cars, including the wider body panels and aero pieces
  • EQS and EQE, whose high voltage systems we isolate before we start

Aluminum panels and structural work

A lot of the range is aluminum. It does not bend, weld, or pull like steel does.

  • Aluminum work happens in its own space, so steel dust never lands on it
  • We measure the body on a bench and pull it back to factory numbers
  • Rivets and bonding get replaced the way Mercedes-Benz specifies, not improvised
  • Panels come off and go back on with new fasteners and clips
  • We print the measurements, so you can see where the car ended up

Paint that matches the car you own

Mercedes-Benz finishes are hard to match. Metallic and designo paints move in the light.

  • We pull the paint code and then spray test cards before the car
  • Color gets blended into the next panel so the repair does not show
  • Multi stage finishes are laid down in the same order the factory used
  • Every repair carries our limited lifetime warranty on workmanship

Driver aids and your insurance claim

A modern Mercedes-Benz watches the road with radar and cameras. Body work moves them.

  • Radar and camera calibration is completed as Mercedes-Benz procedures require
  • Driver aids are checked before the car goes back to you
  • We work with every major carrier, and we are in no carrier's network
  • Arizona law lets you pick the shop, so the insurer cannot send you elsewhere
  • We deal with the adjuster and the paperwork, supplements included
  • Free estimates. Send photos online and skip the first drive over

FAQs

What Mercedes-Benz owners ask us, mostly about the dealer.

Do I have to use the dealer collision center?
No. Arizona law lets you pick the shop, and your insurer cannot force one on you. The dealer body shop and this shop hold the same Mercedes-Benz certification, so the difference is who you deal with while the car is here.

Are you really certified by Mercedes-Benz?
Yes. We are a Mercedes-Benz Certified Collision Repair Center at the Elite level, which means factory training, approved equipment, and audits of the shop. Ask to see it when you drop the car off.

Will you use genuine Mercedes-Benz parts?
We order genuine parts through the factory channel, and we push for them on every repair. Your policy can still have a say in what it pays for. If your insurer wants something else, we tell you before we fit it.

Will you work with my insurance company?
Yes, with all of the major carriers. We write the estimate, talk to the adjuster, and file the supplement when hidden damage shows up. You get one point of contact here instead of chasing two offices.

Do you repair AMG and EQ models?
We do. AMG cars bring wider panels and aero parts that have to line up exactly, and both follow the Mercedes-Benz procedure for that model. On EQS and EQE we isolate the high voltage system first, then work the body.

Do you do mechanical work too?
No. We are a body and collision shop, so we repair structure, panels, and paint. Service work belongs at a mechanical shop or the dealer, and we will say so rather than take work we do not do.

What does the warranty cover?
Our limited lifetime warranty covers the workmanship for as long as you own the car. That is our labor: the bodywork, the refinish, and the fit. Parts carry whatever warranty the maker gives them.

How far are you from Paradise Valley or north Scottsdale?
We are at 8120 E Raintree Dr in the Scottsdale Airpark, just off the Loop 101 at Raintree. Paradise Valley and north Scottsdale are a short drive. North Phoenix is about 20 minutes on the 101.
