Auto Body Shops go Mobile in Seattle, Washington: New Trend in Auto Body Dent and Paint Repair

Have you heard about the new trend in the auto body repair industry? The mobile auto body shop offers the convenience of on-site scratch and dent repairs. The concept of the mobile auto body shop, where the service is performed at your home or business, is convenient, time saving and less expensive than the traditional auto body shop.

Most people don’t have the time to take their vehicle to a body shop and leave it for a few days just to have scratches and small dents repaired. This is where the convenience of a mobile auto body shop comes in.

How a Mobile Auto Body Shop Works

With the mobile auto body shop you enjoy the convenience of driving to work and having your vehicle repaired right in the parking lot while you work. By the end of your work day the repairs are complete and you can drive your car home. In fact, some repairs are done within a couple hours so your vehicle is ready when you go to lunch.

A mobile auto body shop is a van equipped with everything the service technician needs to repair minor scratches and dents right in your driveway or at your workplace. You go about your business while they repair football-sized dents, scratches, scrapes and abrasions on your car. This is a great convenience because you don’t have to be without your vehicle for days at a time while it sits at the body shop. A mobile auto body shop is also a great money saver with no need to rent car while yours is in the body shop. The cost is often less than an insurance deductible so you don’t have to file a claim.

Quality of Repair with a Mobile Auto Body Shop

Some people are concerned with the quality of repair that can be done by a mobile auto body shop. Mobile auto body shops have the technology to computer match the color of the paint on your vehicle for a perfect match. There is no reason to sacrifice quality for this convenience. Advanced technology enables a mobile auto shop to be completely portable. They will also work under a tent so they are not disrupting others or damaging nearby property. Another amazing feature is that they work in all weather conditions.

Convenience of a Mobile Auto Body Shop

A mobile auto body shop can complete some repairs in just a couple hours. These same repairs, done in a body shop, would require leaving your vehicle for a day or two. Body shops often focus on the bigger, more expensive jobs while the vehicles in need of minor repairs sit and wait.

Cost of Service by a Mobile Auto Body Shop

A mobile auto body shop typically has less overhead than the traditional auto body shop; therefore, they are able to pass the savings on to the customer. They don’t have to lease a building and expensive equipment, pay utility bills, property insurance or any other costs associated with a building. Everything they need is in their vehicle.

One of the main reasons a customer will use a mobile auto body shop is that most of the minor repairs cost less than an insurance company’s deductible. Most people would rather pay for these small repairs without involving their insurance company because they are concerned about premium increases. They want to remain in good standing with their insurance company in case they need them for something more serious. In the event that repairs are more than the deductible, mobile auto body shops do work with your insurance company.
