What This Covers

Major Collision Repair,
Start to Finish.

A major collision rarely stays contained to one panel. A hard hit can push damage into the frame rail, the subframe, or the structure behind the bumper, even when the exterior looks repairable at a glance. Precision Paint & Body handles the full range: frame straightening, panel replacement, and a full repaint when the damage runs that deep. We've been doing structural and cosmetic collision work at the same Bird Road location since 1979.

Every major repair starts with a full teardown, not just an inspection of what's visible. We remove trim, panels, and glass to expose the structure underneath, because hidden damage behind a bumper or fender is common after any real impact. If your insurance company is involved, you don't have to use whichever shop it suggests. The decision is yours, and we work directly with all insurance companies and handle the claim paperwork so you're not stuck relaying estimates back and forth.

Once the structure is corrected on the frame rack and new or repaired panels are test-fit, refinishing is where a collision repair either blends in or gives itself away. We use the Spies Hecker paint line with color-matching technology to match your factory finish, and every paint job carries a lifetime guarantee for as long as you own the vehicle. Our finish work is also BMW and Mercedes approved, so European and luxury vehicles get the same attention as everyday drivers.

Before your car comes back to you, we run a four-wheel alignment check and a final quality control pass. If getting to us is the hard part, towing and pickup and delivery are available anywhere in Miami-Dade County. And every estimate is free, with no obligation, so you know what you're dealing with before any work begins.

Collision repair often overlaps with our other specialties. If your bumper took the brunt of the impact, see Bumper Repair. A hit hard enough to affect the frame usually means the fender and quarter panel need attention too, covered on our Fender Repair page. And once the structural work is done, the finish comes together with our Auto Paint & Scratch Repair service.

Common Questions

Collision Repair,
Answered.

Straight answers about what happens after a major collision.

Do I have to use the shop my insurance company recommends?

No, the decision is entirely yours. Your insurance company may point you toward a shop in its network, but you are not required to use it. Bring your vehicle to us and we will work directly with your insurer and manage the claim paperwork on your end.

Will my car be as safe as it was before the accident?

Structural repairs are done on a frame rack and pulled back to factory measurements, not eyeballed. Once the frame or unibody is corrected, we replace or repair panels, refinish to match your original color, and finish with a four-wheel alignment check before the car goes back on the road.

How long does a major collision repair take?

It depends on how much of the vehicle is affected and on parts availability. A repair involving frame work and multiple panels naturally takes longer than a single-panel repair. You will get a timeline as part of your free estimate, and we keep you updated as the work progresses.
