Body Repairs, From the First Inspection to Pickup
An accident can leave damage to the body, paint and components beneath the surface. At Toucan Auto Center, we inspect your vehicle, explain the proposed repairs and prepare an estimate so you can understand the next step.
Our work includes body and structural repairs, paint refinishing and reassembly. If you’re using insurance, we can share repair information with your adjuster and discuss any additional damage identified during the work.
