Body Repair

Whether it’s a little boo-boo or a big boo-boo, we can bring your car back to pre-boo-boo condition. Not only are our technicians trained to repair many makes and models, they’ve got years of experience doing it.

Repair vs replace

Many say that our culture today is too disposable. We tend to toss so many things out just because we think a new one is better. The techs at Avenue take stock of all the parts affected by the impact on your car and determine which parts definitely need to go and which just need some “tlc”. The difference can amount to hundreds saved!

OEM vs Aftermarket

And what about those parts that need to go? What’s the difference between a part that comes from the manufacturer versus one that comes from a parts factory? Which will your insurance company pay for? Which is ok to go cheaper on and which should you absolutely get from the dealer? We can break it all down for you.

Color Match & Refinish

Don’t you know that painters get all the digits? Next time you’re out looking to score tell them you’re an automotive painter. You deal in the world of Ruby Flare Pearl, Celestial Silver Metallic and Riviera Blues. Look into their eyes and describe how their eyes remind you of the hardest car you had to paint because the color was so beautiful… and name it. Our painters not only spend the day giving cars makeovers, they mix the paint with all the tints required to find that color match. Sure, they have help from a computerized database but they’re the ones mixing and weighing! Plus they know all about protection. They have to cover parts of the car that aren’t getting painted as well as themselves. They don’t need to come out of work looking like Area 51 (yeah, that’s the name of a color)

Eco friendly

Avenue Body Shop uses water based paints with Low VOC output (Volatile Organic Compounds). So you could say that getting your car repaired here is good for the environment.

Insurance Claim Assistance

We grew up with our Tio or Tia needing help with certain tasks. They trusted us because we knew something that they didn’t and could get the best or quickest solution to their problem. And if we didn’t, we’d get the classic guilt trip about how much easier we have it. Let us help you with your claims process. There are details in your policy that you might not know you’re paying for or there are certain keywords that might help fast track your claim. We’ve been at this a while and we’ve picked up a few things along the way.

Frame Straightening

This one is a tricky one and you most definitely need some expert advice. If you’ve been in a serious accident, your car might have frame damage. Will your car be the same if the frame gets repaired? If you scour the internet, you’ll find horror stories about frame damage that was repaired. But since when has the internet brought you the good news you were hoping for? The people happy with their cars after their repairs are not online writing about how happy they are. So check in with Noe about your car and if the damage is too extensive or if your car will be A-OK.

Glass & Windshield Replacement

We might have driver-less cars but we don’t have unbreakable glass. Get on it technology! Until then, remember to not leave your valuables visible anywhere! Or you could be like one of our customers. He leaves the doors unlocked with a note that says “It’s unlocked. Please don’t break the glass."…. But then he brought his car in to us because someone had used his car as a bathroom. Soooo… don’t do that. Lock your doors AND don’t leave anything in plain sight. 

Complete Detail

Wouldn’t it be great if you came to pick up your car, only to find out that instead of fixing your car we got in our time machine and went back and stole your car off the lot and brought it back for you instead?

Well of course that didn’t happen. We only use our time machine to go back and gets some more Chocodiles! (Plus we don’t want to mess with the space-time continuum)

But we do detail your car and make it look like we stole it from your past.

So burners: Want your car cleaned when you get back? Just get in a fender bender and bring it here for repairs!
