One panel from this week, shot on seamless with the light bar running across it. If the reflection runs straight, the panel is straight. That's the whole test, and we post it either way.
Insurance or cash, one estimator who does the work, photos at every stage.
Structural measurement, panel replacement and refinish. We pull to factory spec, not to close enough, and re-measure before paint.
Insurance or written estimate
Oklahoma's specialty. Panel-by-panel dent count, paintless repair where the finish is intact, refinish where it isn't.
Deductible only, most claims
Door dings and shallow creases worked out from behind the panel. Factory paint untouched, no filler, usually back the same day.
From $145
Camera-read, then sprayed out on a test card and checked in daylight before the gun goes near the car. Blended into the adjacent panels.
From $650 per panel
Cracked and torn covers plastic-welded, filled and refinished — usually well under the cost of a new cover plus paint.
From $395
Laser measurement on the bench against factory data, pulled, then measured again. The printout goes in your file.
Measured free
Shot on seamless, under a straight light bar.
Panelbeat opened in 2011 in a two-bay shop off Reno Avenue, after a hailstorm gave Ellis Vandiver more work than his driveway could hold. He still blocks his own panels, and he still writes the estimate for anything he's going to fix himself.
We work with every major insurer without letting one of them tell us how long a repair takes or which panel is close enough. The person who writes your estimate is the person who does the job.

There's a measurement for everything that happens in this shop.
Frame data before and after the pull, printed and attached to your file so you can see the numbers.
Colour tested on a card and held against your panel in daylight before the car is ever masked.
Every finished panel gets the light-bar test. A wave shows up instantly, and it doesn't leave the shop.
Teardown, structure, primer, paint. You get to see the parts of a repair you'd otherwise have to take on faith.
Straight on, one from each side, and one close on the damage. That's usually enough to tell you whether it's dent work, a repair or a replacement — and roughly what it runs.
Four photos plus the year and model. We'll tell you what it needs, what it costs, and how long we'd have it.
