Why should I bother with that little dent?
One little dent can seriously affect your car’s resale value. Stay on top of little dents and maintain your investment.

Do all dents require paint work after??
NO! Often we can repair small dings and dents using a technique called “Paintless Dent Removal” (PDR)

What dents can be fixed using PDR?
PDR can remove small parking lot dings where the paint is not compromised. but can also be used on larger dents if there is access behind the panel and the metal is not too stretched.

How do you repair dents that do not qualify for PDR?
At Colorworks Express Autobody Centers, 30 years of experience means we metal work and finesse the panel / dent back into shape to ensure minimal body filler before refinishing the panel.

How big of a dent can you fix before the panel needs to be replaced?
On replaceable panels, like fenders, large dents might sometimes be cheaper to repair by replacing the panel. On structural body panels like roofs and ¼ panels we can repair very large dents keeping the repairs cost effective

Can I just add a Ceramic Coat to my vehicle? What if I have a small chip?
Colorworks Express Autobody Centers can take care of all your paint correction and SMART repair needs. Before you complete a Ceramic Coat application on your vehicle, we recommend identifying any areas on your vehicle that might require paint correction. If Ceramic Coat is applied to a surface that requires paint correction, it will seal in the area.

How long does Ceramic Coating last?
Depending on the package you select, or how many coats are applied to your vehicle, Ceramic Coating typically lasts a few years.

Is there maintenance required for Ceramic Coating?
Ceramic Coating is semi-permanent, meaning you may need a touch up to maintain the protection and hydrophobic qualities of the product. This is also dependent on how often you wash your vehicle, and with what products, how often it is exposed to harsh weather, etc.

Will my vehicle be completely protected against chips and scratches after Ceramic Coating?
Ceramic Coating is abrasive resistant. Pending on how forceful a scratch or chip impact is, Ceramic Coating will protect your vehicle to a higher degree than only the clear coat. If the impact is stronger, you will need paint correction and the Ceramic Coating reapplied on the damaged panels. Colorworks Express Autobody Centers can take care of all of this for you.
