Expert Auto Body Repair in Topeka
Car Accident? We Handle It.
Veteran-owned, I-CAR Gold Class collision repair in Topeka. We work directly with your insurance, repair to OEM specs, and keep you updated from drop-off to delivery — so you don't have to worry about a thing.
Our Specialties
From dings and dents to full collision repair, we handle every part of getting your vehicle back on the road.
Collision Repair
From minor fender-benders to major accidents, we restore your vehicle to factory safety specs — including unibody and full-frame structural repair. As an I-CAR Gold Class shop, our certified technicians follow OEM repair procedures so the work holds up the way the manufacturer intended. We work directly with all major insurance carriers, handle the paperwork and adjuster calls, and keep you updated from drop-off to delivery.
Refinishing
Factory-quality refinishing using PPG premium color systems for color matching that holds up to Kansas weather. Whether you need a small spot repair, a single panel, or a complete refinish, we deliver a finish that matches your vehicle's original color. Hail damage, scratches, scuffs, fading, and clear-coat failure all welcome.
Paintless Dent Removal (PDR)
PDR is the fastest, most affordable way to remove dings, dents, and minor hail damage — and it preserves your factory paint, which protects your resale value. Our trained PDR techs work the metal back into shape from behind the panel, with no fillers and no repainting. If a dent is too deep or the paint is cracked, we'll tell you up front and walk you through a traditional repair instead.

What Our Customers Say
Don't just take our word for it — hear it from our customers directly.
They did an amazing job on my truck. The process was easy and customer service was great. They even went the extra step and cleaned the inside of my truck after everything was completed. Truck looks great and paint matches perfect. I have used them for several vehicles and they always turn out great. I highly recommend them!

5 months agoCurtis from the body shop kept me informed the entire time. Done 5 days sooner then promised. Looks fabulous and will be coming back again if I have another mishap.
I appreciate the daily updates and getting my repair work done quickly. It was a smooth process. Very happy with the work John Hoffer did. Did it quickly, professionally, gave me a ride when I needed it and took care of my rental return. Top notch!

Absolutely not! By law, the choice of repair shop is always yours. Insurance companies may recommend certain "preferred" shops, but they cannot require you to use them. You are free to choose the repair facility you trust. When you choose us, we work for you — not the insurance company — and we stand behind our repairs for as long as you own your vehicle.
