That's why we are passionate about the art of auto restoration, and work hard to ensure your car works its best for you. At the lowest price, every time. Mel and his team are the best you can get! I pulled in on a whim with no idea what to expect. Not only did they fix my mangled bumper like new again, but the environment is professional and their communication impeccable.

I would highly recommend this company for anyone who is in need of their services. They do what they say they are going to do and provide fair pricing. Their quality of work is excellent and the owner really cares about his customers. BodyWorks is a great family owned business who is active in supporting the local community. They are a 5 star business all the way.

Mel went above and beyond on this fix. I had a tight budget, only enough to replace the fender and he found a new light for me as a surprise at no extra cost.
Him and his staff are some of the most friendly people you will meet, and the quality of work is unmatched.

If you’re looking for any car service, go to The BodyWorks! Mel and his team did an amazing job on my car, and even went above and beyond. I was hit in an accident, resulting in my axel and suspension being damaged and my whole right passenger side caving in. My car was very close to totaled, and I’m glad I’m brought it to the right place for my repairs. The whole team is professional, while being friendly and quick with their repairs. My car came back to me looking better than I gave it to them! These are good people, while some other companies can me rude and unobliging, Mel & his team

Never living in an area that is prevalent to hail storms, I was amazed at the amount of damage golf size hail balls did to my Kia Sorento while vacationing in Texas. Every panel on my car, except two, sustained damage. I took my car to Mel based on his reviews. I was not disappointed. He worked on a tight schedule so I wouldn’t miss an upcoming trip. He kept in touch with updates on his progress. The car was delivered as promised and looks amazing. Many thanks to Mel and his team for their expertise, commitment to quality, and professional service.

Mel and his team did a phenomenal job repairing my SUV. I was hit in the passenger rear quarter panel while sitting at a stop light. The damage was not terrible however, because the rear panels are welded on instead of bolted on, the repair cost were going to much higher than the low ball estimate the insurance 3rd party estimated it to be, so the insurance company wanted to total my truck. Reluctant to surrender my truck to the insurance company due to a large dent in the rear quarter panel, a taillight and a dented plastic bumper, Mel expertly advised me how to keep my truck, get it repaired

Mel is the BEST and knows his business. I only had my car 3 weeks and got rear ended. Ugh! I found his shop online through Google and was impressed with his reviews. Well he did not disappoint! He worked overtime and I got my car back to me on time in spite of a parts delay and it looks perfect! Thank you Mel and I will be back for the Ceramic protection coating too!

Great service! All the employees were friendly and professional. I went in to get my bumper and fog light fixed due to a crash. Got a quote within the hour, and Mel had my car fixed within the day. I was worried the bumper wouldn’t match the paint but they did an AMAZING JOB! Looks like nothing ever happened to it. Highly recommend!

Been meaning fix the paint and dents on my car for over a year now. Tried a couple of times in Iowa, but the guy my mechanic suggested never called me back and I could always put making the car look pretty off for another day since, being honest, I barely ever drove.
Bodyworks was suggested to me by my brother in law, who has gone there several times. They are a bit more expensive than your average autobody shop, but the quality they do is beyond exceptional.
I have a weird custom paint job and they managed to match my paint perfectly. Did a better job than the original painter. Both of my bumpers

I got into a front end accident and it bent the front frame of my car. I chose to pay out of pocket to get it fixed, I struggled going to several other places and was turned away each time for not going through my insurance and it being a "risk". I went here and Mel I believe, was quick to take a look on the spot and tell me he could do it! He gave me a great price for the work, AND finished 2 days later!!! Half a week earlier than expected! If I could give more than 5 stars, I would.
