Auto Repair Shop

For most people, taking their car to an auto repair shop is not their favorite thing in the world. At Arizona Collision Center, we understand that if we are being graced with your presence, it probably means you are having a bad day. Nobody likes having their car smashed or damaged or dented, and that is totally understandable. That being said, we understand the circumstances and do our best to perform the necessary repairs on your car as fast as possible. Being without a car can be difficult, so we do our best to get the job done as quickly as we can while still providing you with the best service and parts.

One thing we are proud of is our state of the art paint facility. We have a climate controlled booth that cures the paint perfectly. Not all auto repair shops have their own on-site paint facility, but we do. Our paint experts can fix the smallest scratches and dents to whole side panels. In fact, we even offer complete paint jobs. This is not super common, but when cars are involved in major accidents, a lot of the paint can be damaged, especially if the accident ruined the whole trunk or hood of the car. In Arizona, it is pretty common for the paint on cars to fade to a certain degree in the hot sun. Unfortunately, this is something we can’t really avoid living in the sunny state. But lucky for you, we are one of the few auto repair shops that offers complete paint jobs, so we will use our paint matching technology to get the perfect color, and if your car needs it, we will paint the whole thing! Nobody wants to be involved in an accident, but getting a new, shiny coat of paint helps your car look brand new. It is the least we can do!

A lot of newer cars have plastic parts on them, and those are often the first parts that are damaged in an accident. Bumpers, door trims, wheel covers, and door handles are all made of plastic on most cars now. And on the inside of the car, door panels, dashboards and center consoles are also made out of plastic. At our auto repair shop, Arizona Collision Center, we have a team of plastic repair specialists who know all about the plastic parts of a vehicle, and they are experts at repairing and replacing them. Plastic pieces on the outside of a car make accidents safer in a lot of ways, because the plastic pieces, like bumpers, smash easier, which brings less damage to the frame and large panels on the car. Our plastic repair specialists will repair or replace plastic front and back bumpers, steering wheels, dashboards, center consoles, and other plastic pieces. And when they are done, your car will be back to new in no time.

At Arizona Collision Center auto repair shop, we specialize in bringing your damaged car back to working condition. Our experienced specialists work with fiberglass windows and windshields, too. There are many accidents that result in damaged windshields and windows. Most car vandalism cases involve broken windows, and our specialists know how to replace those. Or, if your car has been hit next to a side window and the window motor has been damaged, they know how to fix that too. A shattered window or cracked windshield is a minor fix that can usually be repaired or replaced within a few hours.

Many people these days are choosing to save money by purchasing previously owned vehicles. Before you buy a used car from a private seller, it is important to have it checked out by a proper auto repair shop. At Arizona Collision Center, we offer used vehicle inspections for people who are considering purchasing a used car. Our experts will check out the car’s body, make sure all of the major pieces match the vehicle’s VIN number, and check out the engine and make sure everything is in proper working order. Sometimes used cars are sold for a great price, and other times, the deal seems too good to be true because it is too good to be true. Having an expert inspect the car, inside and out, is important. The used vehicle inspections are a complimentary service that we offer, which is part of what separates us from our competition. Mechanics will charge you anywhere from $40 to $150 for used vehicle inspections prior to purchase, but with our auto repair shop, it is a complimentary service. And if it’s inexpensive or complimentary, like it is with us, you have no reason not to have an inspection done on a car you are thinking about buying.
