    Any component we refinish is covered for the life of your ownership. No time limit, no mileage limit, no fine print.

  • It will not turn or fade

    If the finish ever discolors, yellows, fades, peels, or loses gloss from our workmanship or materials, we make it right.

  • Color match guaranteed

    Computerized matching and blended panels so the repair still disappears into the rest of the car years later.

  • In writing, honored in house

    Your warranty is documented on your invoice and handled right here in Opa-locka — no third party to chase.

Everyday to exotic

We work on whatever you drive

The same standard applies to a commuter sedan and a supercar: correct structure, tight panel gaps, and a paint match you cannot find.

Everyday drivers

Sedans, hatchbacks, minivans, and commuter cars. The daily driver that has to be back on the road quickly.

Trucks & SUVs

Pickups, work trucks, and family SUVs, including larger panels and heavier structural repairs.

Luxury & European

Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Lexus, and other premium vehicles with tight tolerances and demanding finishes.

Exotic & performance

High-end and exotic cars where paint depth, panel gaps, and color match have to be flawless.

Insurance claims

We work with all insurance companies

You have the right to choose your own body shop, no matter which carrier you have. Bring us the claim number and we take it from there — estimates, adjusters, supplements, and approvals.

How claims work here
  1. 01

    Report the accident

    Call your insurance company and open a claim. Write down your claim number — that is the only thing we need to get started on our end.

  2. 02

    Bring the vehicle in

    Stop by with the car and your claim number. We photograph and document the damage and write a detailed repair estimate the same visit.

  3. 03

    We handle the adjuster

    We submit the estimate, talk to your adjuster directly, and file supplements if we find hidden damage once the panels come apart.

  4. 04

    Repair and delivery

    Once the work is approved we repair, refinish, and detail the vehicle. You pay your deductible, and we hand back the keys.

Had an amazing experience with this body shop. They did an excellent job on my car — the paint came out flawless and the color match is perfect. The whole front end looks brand new. Reasonable price.

Excellent experience with Julio Mendez, Silvia and his shop. The work was flawless, very professional, and done with a lot of patience and attention to detail. From the very beginning, the customer service was outstanding.

I was recommended this body shop by a good friend of mine. I have no words to thank Julio for helping my dad with his truck. He was very patient, would call with updates, send pictures of progress. This place deserves more than five stars.

Picked up my car today and couldn't be any happier. The paint and install of my new front bumper came out perfect. Julio the owner answered all my questions during the whole process and he responds quickly. Great service!

Driving home one evening on I-75 I ran over a piece of furniture that had fallen off someone's truck and it rattled my bumper. Progressive assigned our claim and Express Auto Center took great care of us from start to finish.
