Computerized Estimating – Our computerized estimating system enables us to provide you a detailed itemized account of the damages to your vehicle. Most of the time we are able to write fairly accurate estimate of damages but keep in mind that there can be hidden damage especially if we are unable to open the hood or remove any parts at the time of the estimate. Accidents extensive enough to have hidden damage are generally handled through an insurance company therefore once any hidden damage is found we will work with the insurer to make sure all necessary repairs are documented and covered under the claim.
Computerized Color Matching – Our computerized mixing system provides up to date color formulas ensuring an accurate color match based on the manufactures code unique to your vehicle. Since nothing is exact once we have the formula for your vehicle we take this a step further by spraying a test panel. This enables our expert paint technicians to evaluate the color match to determine if special tinting is needed.
For undocumented colors, custom colors etc. we have a special camera on site provided by the paint manufacturer which allows us to take angled photos of the color and metallic chips once the camera computes the data it gives us a formula that we mix on our system.
Auto Frame And Uni-body Repairs Utilizing Velocity Computerized Laser Measuring System
At Creative Body Works, we perform uni-body and frame realignment using the latest computerized laser technology which allows us to measure your vehicle’s frame alignment throughout the repair process. Our commitment to your safety is a correctly repaired and aligned frame that will maintain your vehicle’s safe and reliable operation and its ability to protect you in an accident. A vehicle’s frame is the platform that everything else rests on. If your frame is aligned incorrectly, other parts won’t work as they should – doors won’t latch securely, sheet metal won’t align, headlamps won’t fit, windows will stick and you vehicle’s ability to protect you is compromised. Once we have completed the straightening process, we don’t just tell you the frame or uni-body is back to factory specifications, we have proof and will provide a copy of the specification sheet. In addition a wheel alignment is performed on all vehicles with structural damage which ensures your vehicle has been repaired correctly.
Auto Body Repairs – At Creative Body Works, we use nationally recognized standards to determine whether or not a part is repairable or must be replaced. Our ASE and I-Car trained auto body technicians maintain the highest standards in the industry and have one fundamental goal, making your vehicle safe for you to drive. Your vehicle has been designed and engineered with your safety in mind. Specific parts like hoods, doors, and bumpers have been designed to absorb and displace energy in a collision once these parts have been buckled, kinked or bent your vehicle has lost a significant amount of its structural integrity and its ability to protect you in an accident. Our technicians are trained to know when a part has been compromised and must be replaced.
State-Of –The-Art Heated Down Draft Paint Booth – Our baking booth helps us to reproduce factory-like finishes.
Resistance Welder – While some other shops are drilling holes in your vehicle and using wire-welding method we use the best equipment to ensure factory-like spot welds. This is the same method used in the factory when
your vehicle was built.

Our machines have the powerful capacity to repair all types of vehicles even large pickup trucks and SUVs.
