How much does it cost to paint a car?

That depends. There are many factors involved in the cost of painting a car. What is the size of the vehicle? For example: is it a crew cab pickup truck or Smart Fortwo car? Is additional work required, such as repairing dents or rust, or is paint peeling? What color or colors are needed? Black or bright red? Two or three colors? What about painting inside the doors, under the hood, or inside the bed of a truck? All of these things and more are all involved in painting a car, making it very difficult to give any price without seeing the vehicle and understanding what the desired results are.

Do we do insurance work?

Yes. We work with all insurance companies to provide service for anyone needing repairs.

Do we do self-pay work?

Yes. We gladly work for self pay customers whether it is a large restoration project or simply reattaching a bumper.

Can I get an estimate over the phone or from pictures?

That depends. We may be able to give an idea on price over the phone depending on what the desired repair is. Example: If all that is needed is a new windshield, we probably can give an accurate price. If the vehicle was in an accident, it will be very difficult to give an estimate as there can be significant hidden damage. Pictures can be helpful but it is still best for everyone if we can see the vehicle.

Do I need an appointment for an estimate?

Walk-ins are welcome, but appointments are preferred and take priority. Call the office or contact us via the contact options here on our website. Click here to schedule your no-obligation, in-person consultation via our online scheduling tool.

Do we offer loaner vehicles?

We do not have a loaner program; however, we work with a trusted rental car company. They will have a rental waiting here for you when you drop your vehicle off for repairs and you can return the rental here when you pick up your vehicle after repairs are completed. Please let us know when you schedule repairs if you would like us to set up a rental for you.

Do we offer towing services?

We work with a trusted local towing company, and would be happy to arrange to have your vehicle towed to our shop for you, if necessary.

Do I have to take my vehicle to my insurance provider's recommended shop?

No, you have the right to choose where your vehicle is repaired. Insurance recommended shops usually have agreements with the insurance provider to do repairs at a lower cost to the insurer. This can sometimes result in a shop cutting corners on repairs to save costs. Tim’s Body Shop is an independent repair shop; safety and a proper repair are our first priority for all our customers.

Job done to perfection! Work with you for scheduling and follow up with updates. You pay for what you get!

Hit a deer on 741 came out of nowhere. Did a ton of research and found Tim’s Auto Body. Top notch service and had my truck looking brand new! And got it done quickly. Their place of business is pristine and so is the quality of work and customer service. This is the place to take your vehicle if you want it to look as good as NEW! OUTSTANDING!

Good job!!

Larry Sheckler

Found them via reference from garage that services our vehicles. From first contact with Mike to completion of the work everyone at Tim’s was great to work with. Scheduling was prompt and work completed per their time frame. They cleaned the car up inside and out which was a nice extra detail!

Douglas Wise

I was involved in a front end collision and Tim’s put it back together beautifully. Every detail was done to perfection. They worked through my insurance and made sure the best parts were used for the repair. I highly recommend them for any body work needed.

I got a door ding fixed and the matte black plastic cladding on my VB WRX painted gloss black here and it looks great. I couldn’t be happier. For a custom paint job it was reasonably priced and done quickly.

A very pleasant experience! Everyone was very helpful & understanding! A smooth process and now I have a brand new bumper. I thought it matches pretty good. I’m happy with it. Definitely can recommend Tim’s.
