Wyatt's Paint & Body is trusted by and works closely with many reputable dealerships throughout the area such as Ken Grody Ford and Allstar Kia. We handle the repairs to our local law enforcement vehicles, emergency vehicles such as fire trucks and garbage/refuse vehicles. We can absolutely handle the collision repairs you need. However, unlike the repair shops at dealerships, we are an independent company that specializes in auto body and collision repairs. There are no salesmen here trying to upsell you, only professional, trained technicians, whose goal is to return your vehicle to its pre-loss condition and get you safely back on road.
A correctly done collision repair brings the car to the same specifications in look and safety that it had when it was originally built. An accident will distort the shape of the car, so we start by taking the vehicle apart and getting its chassis back to original specifications.
We then replace or repair any part that is damaged. Since our foremost concern is for your safety, we don't use low quality, after-market parts, but only parts that pass all factory standards. Any rusted parts are also replaced.
The paint of your vehicle is what prevents it from deteriorating and rusting. There are many types of paints and many ways to apply them. We then replace or repair any part that is damaged. Since our foremost concern is for your safety, we use factory standard and quality after- market parts. Any rusted parts will need to be replaced.
Some people think that once you purchase a new panel for a vehicle, it's ready to be painted. Unfortunately that is not necessarily the case. Many new panels have to be straightened, gaps have to be filled, and this can be a time consuming process, but it's very necessary to get a beautiful looking vehicle.
Existing paint has to be removed with sanding and any filling also needs to be sanded until the body of the car is totally smooth.
The paint process itself is a multi-step procedure. Many layers have to be applied to the vehicle to make it last a long time, and look just like new.
The following are some of the layers that are applied to all vehicles we restore.
Basecoat is the coating layer that gives color and an aesthetic look. Our base coatings won't fade for many, many years, keeping the color of your vehicle looking just like new.
The clear coat is the top coating layer that protects all other layers from the elements. Day after day it withstands acids, sunlight, rain and every beating your vehicle takes from normal "wear and tear". It also gives your car or truck the shine of a new vehicle.
