Common Questions

How do you decide between repairing or replacing a panel?
We assess each panel against three criteria. If the metal is straightenable, repair is cheaper and the original metal stays on the vehicle. If the panel is creased through a body line, replacement usually gives a better finish. If the panel is a welded structural panel like a quarter panel, the call depends on the damage extent. The decision goes on the inspection sheet before the quote so you can see the reasoning.
Do you use OEM or aftermarket panels?
OEM panels where the repair calls for them, and the best available standard where they do not. OEM fits out of the box and matches factory body lines without rework. Quality alternates cost less but often need fitment work, which we quote up front. We do not stock cheap aftermarket panels and we tell you which manufacturers we trust for each platform.
Can you do welded quarter panel replacement on my truck?
Yes. Quarter panel replacement on cars and bed side replacement on pickups are done in-house in Midland, TX. The original panel is cut at factory seams or a controlled location, the new panel is fitted and clamped, then welded to the factory pattern. Seam sealer and corrosion protection are applied before paint. Structural work runs through our welding and fabrication shop.
Will the new panel match the rest of the vehicle’s color?
Yes. After fitment, the new panel is prepped, primed, and painted in our climate-controlled booth using the manufacturer paint code from your vehicle. A spray-out card is verified before spraying and the base coat is blended into adjacent panels. Color match is checked under shop and natural light before delivery.
How long does panel repair take in Midland, TX?
Bolt-on single panel replacement runs three to five business days. Welded panel work runs one to two weeks depending on cut location and how much disassembly is required. Multi-panel work scales with parts availability. We give you a written timeline before any work starts and update it if back-orders change the schedule.
Do you replace rusted-out cab corners and rockers?
Yes. Cab corners, rocker panels, and wheel arch sections are cut out and replaced with new metal rather than filled over. Welds follow the factory pattern, then seam sealer and corrosion protection go on before paint. Filler over rust is a repair that comes back, and we will not do it.
