Auto Dent Removal & Collision Repair

Jackson Hole is hard on vehicles. Icy passes, gravel back roads, elk and deer strikes on Highway 22 and 89, and crowded summer parking lots send cars to our shop year-round. Whatever caused the damage, we return your vehicle to the way it left the factory: straight, safe, and finished so the repair disappears.

Modern vehicles take the right procedures and equipment to repair correctly. Unibody construction, high-strength steel, aluminum panels, and integrated safety systems all demand it. Our technicians follow manufacturer repair procedures and use computerized frame measuring, so the structure is checked against factory dimensions instead of judged by eye. Doing it right the first time is cheaper than doing it twice.

Every accident is different, and we handle the full range, from rear-end collisions and T-bone side impacts to front-end collision damage.

• Dents, dings, and creased panels: from shopping-cart damage to hail.
• Bumper damage: cracked, scuffed, or torn plastic bumper covers, repaired or replaced.
• Panel replacement: fenders, doors, hoods, and quarter panels, matched and blended to the rest of the car.
• Frame and structural repair: computerized measuring and pulling to restore unibody and frame dimensions.
• Paint and refinishing: computerized color matching in a climate-controlled booth. See our paint and refinishing page.

Not sure how bad it is? Often the damage is more cosmetic than structural. We will tell you honestly either way.

Here is what happens, step by step:

• Free estimate: we inspect and photograph the damage and write it up in CCC One, usually in about 30 minutes.
• Insurance coordination: if you are filing a claim, we handle the adjuster, supplements for hidden damage, and direct billing. More on our insurance claims page.
• Teardown and blueprint: once disassembled, we find damage that was not visible at the estimate and document it.
• Repair, refinish, and quality control: structural work, panel repair, paint, reassembly, and a final inspection covering fit, finish, and function.
• Delivery: we walk you through the repair, often with complimentary interior detailing, and provide your lifetime guarantee paperwork.

Every body and structural repair we perform is backed by our lifetime guarantee for as long as you own the vehicle. If anything related to our workmanship ever fails, bring it back and we will make it right at no additional cost. In a town the size of Jackson, we will see you around, so we build every repair to hold up.

Dent removal starts with a careful inspection to see whether the metal can be worked back into shape without disturbing the paint, or whether the panel needs repair and refinishing. Shallow, rounded dents from a shopping cart or hail with the paint still intact are often the quickest fix. Dents with a crease, a sharp edge, or cracked and chipped paint usually need body filler, sanding, and computerized color matching to blend the repair into the surrounding panel so it disappears.

How long it takes depends on the dent. A single small dent is frequently finished in a day or two, while multiple dents from a hailstorm or a dent that also needs paint and blending can take longer. We give you a firm timeline once we have looked at the vehicle.

What affects the job: the size and depth of the dent, how many panels are involved, whether the paint was broken, and the panel’s location, since a door or hood is more involved than a bumper cover. Jackson Hole’s elk and deer strikes, hailstorms, and crowded summer parking lots send a steady stream of dents our way, and we give every one a free, honest look before any work begins.
