Our Light Collision Repair process

We keep things clear from the first look to the final polish. Here's what to expect when you bring your vehicle in for light collision work:

  1. Estimate and assessment. We inspect the damage, explain what we see, and give you a free, no-obligation estimate. If an insurance claim is involved, we go over how we'll coordinate with your carrier.
  2. Repair plan and parts. We lay out exactly what the repair involves and help you choose between OEM, Aftermarket, and Recycled parts based on your cost considerations and preferences.
  3. Body work. Our technicians address dents, dings, scratches, and any damaged panels or components, repairing original equipment where it's practical and replacing parts where it isn't.
  4. Surface prep. Before any color goes on, we clean, sand, and seal the affected areas. Surface sealers create a uniform foundation that improves color consistency, gloss, and paint adhesion.
  5. Paint and blending. We apply your chosen paint package and blend new paint into the surrounding panels so the repair matches the rest of the vehicle. For smaller areas, spot painting lets us refresh a single door, hood, or bumper.
  6. Finishing. We wet sand, buff, and polish to smooth out imperfections and bring back the shine in both the paint and clear coat.
  7. Final check and handoff. We look the repair over one more time, then return your vehicle looking the way it should.

Light collision damage often lives in that gray area between a quick cosmetic touch-up and a major structural job. We handle the full range in between, matching the repair to what your vehicle actually needs so you're not paying for more than the job calls for. Whether it's a creased fender, a scuffed bumper, or scratched plastic and fiberglass, our aim is simple: turn the car you drive back into the car you love.

  • Monica Sandoval
    ★★★★★

    After six years, my car’s paint was chipping badly, down to the metal and rust was about to set in. I took it to Maaco on Walzem based on their reviews, and I’m so glad I did. They gave me a great price to repaint my hood and roof, and the new paint matches the rest of the car, which is hard to do with an older vehicle. The customer service was just as impressive. Robert, my service advisor, clearly explained the process and kept me updated the entire time. I’m very happy with the results and would absolutely recommend them.

    I have a 68 mustang that was being worked on at another shop. After 3 months, that other shop was nowhere near being done. I took my car to Maaco-Walzem. The owner was very polite and explained everything. He understood my situation and did a great job. The other shop had done a horrible prep job and body work. Maaco was able to fix the problems and the car turned out great. I was hoping for a daily driver paint job, but I got a car show quality car.
