We use Paintless Dent Removal (PDR) whenever possible to preserve your factory finish and speed up repair times. We also offer complete hail damage repair.
Our auto paint shop relies on advanced computer color-matching technology to create a seamless finish. For structural damage, we do not cut corners, ensuring your frame, chassis, and safety crumple zones perform as intended.
Firkins CDJR proudly maintains top industry credentials including I-CAR Gold Class Certified, ASE Certified Technicians, and OEM Factory Certifications.
Modern vehicles depend heavily on Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). After an impact, these cameras and sensors must be recalibrated. Our collision center has electronic diagnostic systems to perform full ADAS calibration, ensuring your safety features work properly.
