Collision Repair in Export, PA

Jeff Kudray started this business in 1989 in a two-car garage attached to his house. By 1995 it had outgrown that and moved into the building on Route 66 we still work out of. His son JT grew up roughly thirty seconds' walk from the shop and now runs the floor.

That history is not decoration. It is why the sentence people hear most around here is "do it right or don't do it at all."

Pre-loss condition means the inside too

Any auto body shop can make a car look repaired. The harder question is whether the structure underneath, the corrosion protection inside the panel, the seam sealer, and the sound-deadening all went back the way the manufacturer intended. Weld-through primer skipped inside a replaced panel does not show for four years, and then it shows permanently.

We assume the answer to "will anyone notice" is yes, eventually, and work accordingly.

What the process looks like

Damage gets documented and the vehicle disassembled far enough to find what the outside is hiding. From there we build a written plan, source the correct parts, and stage the work: structural first, then body, then refinish, then reassembly and a final inspection before anyone calls you.

A customer whose F150 was hit by a drunk driver wrote that we went the extra mile on it. Another said we kept him better informed than his own insurance company did. Communication is part of the job, not a favor.

The practical stuff

Free estimates, direct billing with every major carrier, and a loaner arranged through Enterprise that your rental coverage usually pays for.
