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.

Tim
Lead Technician

My name is Tim and yes, that is where the Tim in Tim’s Body Shop comes from. I always enjoyed auto-body work, and it was a hobby for a number of years. More people were asking me to repair or paint their cars, which led me to the decision to start full time in October of 1990. I was also looking for a way to get off the road as a truck driver and do something at home where I could spend more time with my family. Now today, having turned the office work and management over to my son Duane, I am back on the shop floor. As lead technician, my role includes assisting other technicians as needed.
