The Body Shop, Inc

“If you do a good job for people and charge them a fair price, they’ll always remember you.”

This principle was established in me as a child as I worked side by side with my father in his painting business.  Like my dad, I have always given my best at everything I have attempted.

When I opened the Body Shop, Inc in Clinton Township, Michigan in 1988, I was determined to live up to my father’s teachings and give my best to my clients. I have always run my business with a “hands-on” attitude, giving special attention to detail and service. I take pride in every vehicle I repair and strive to provide an undetectable repair.  Who wants to drive around with the memory of their crash in full view?  I know that I would never be satisfied with anything less than the best and I give that same courtesy to my clients.

That’s the good job part!

But market competition demands more than just a “good job” and to stay in business, I had to do more.  I started by giving my clients more than they expected. If there was a paint chip or a “ding” in a panel which was being repaired, I attended to it.  I never dreamed of returning a “finished” vehicle to a client without thoroughly cleaning and vacuuming the interior.  These little extras made the repair complete in my eyes—the finished product “stands out.”  And I didn’t nickel and dime my client for these “extras.”

That’s the fair price part!

Since 1988, I have built a reputation for quality repairs and personal service. My clients can be assured that they and their vehicle will be handled with the utmost care. I know how stressful an experience being involved in an accident is and my clients won’t be treated like another “number” that has walked through the door.  I personally attend to each step of the claims process to ensure that my client is reunited with their vehicle in a timely manner. That is my commitment to personal service!

Through the years, I have hand-picked my repair technicians and provided them training in the latest repair techniques.   I expect that they carry on the tradition of quality, fairness and personal service.  Consequently, I have acquired a reputation of being “too picky” by area technicians who didn’t meet my standards.  I don’t miss them!

The Body Shop, Inc. is fully equipped to handle any type of repair. The latest equipment and repair procedures are utilized to make sure a client’s vehicle is restored to full safety standards.  These procedures include:

1. Computerized unibody/frame realignment. A must with today’s vehicles.
2. Mig welding and the latest S.T.R.S.W. welding to match OEM specifications and appearance
3. The latest corrosion protection and sound deadening materials, for a “sound” repair.
4. The most up-to-date refinishing line from BASF (and soon to be adding waterborne paints) for a durable, undetectable repair.
5. A Lifetime Warranty!!

Like my competition, I can crow about the advantages of bringing your vehicle to The Body Shop, Inc. But I know that the best proof is for my clients to see it with their own eyes.

Are you ready?
