What is the difference between your body shop and your regular service center?

At Auto Care Vadodara, we proudly offer both regular service and body shop facilities.

This includes tasks like dent removal, painting, collision repair, and other external damages. Regardless of your needs, we ensure your car gets the expert care it deserves.

Which paint system do you use in your body shop?

At Auto Care Vadodara's body shop, we are trained and felicitated by the Nippon Paint Automotive Paint System, one of the finest OEM players in the market.

We have chosen Nippon for its commitment to excellence, ensuring that your vehicle receives a finish that both looks outstanding and lasts long.

What type of parts do you use for repairs: OEM, aftermarket, or used parts?

We prioritize the use of OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts to ensure the highest quality and compatibility with your vehicle. However, based on the customer's preference and budget, we can also provide aftermarket or used parts, but always ensure they meet our quality standards.

Is my car's structural integrity compromised after a collision repair?

Not at all. Our skilled technicians use advanced equipment and techniques to restore your car's structural integrity to its original state after a collision. We prioritize not just the appearance but also the safety of the vehicle post-repair.

Do you offer any warranties on your body shop repairs?

While we strive to provide the best quality repairs, due to the nature of our business and external factors, we might not be able to offer extensive warranties on all repairs. However, we stand by the quality of our work and will always address any concerns you may have post-repair.

How long will the paint job take?

The duration of the paint job depends on the extent of work required. A touch-up or minor scratch repair might take a day, while a full-body repaint could require several days. However, our team is committed to delivering quality work in the shortest time possible. We'll give you a timeline once we assess the extent of the work.

How do you ensure color matching with the original paint?

We utilize the Nippon Paint Automotive Paint System's advanced color-matching technology. This ensures that any paintwork we undertake, be it a touch-up or a larger area, matches your car's original color seamlessly. Our trained technicians use sophisticated tools to identify and replicate the exact shade of your vehicle.

Can you repair dents and damages before painting?

Absolutely! Before any paintwork begins, it's crucial to address any dents or damages. Our skilled technicians will ensure that the car's surface is smooth and ready for painting. This not only ensures a flawless finish but also extends the longevity of the paint job.

What care should I take post a paint job from your body shop?

After your vehicle receives a paint job, it's advised to avoid washing it for at least a week to let the new paint cure properly. Also, refrain from exposing the vehicle to direct sunlight for prolonged periods during this time. We'll provide a detailed care guide upon job completion to ensure the longevity and shine of your new paint.

Do you provide any warranty on the paintwork?

While the nature of our business and products from our suppliers might not always allow us to provide a standard warranty, we stand by the quality of our work. The Nippon Paint Automotive Paint System is renowned for its durability and finish. Should you have any concerns after the paint job, please reach out, and we will do our utmost to address them.
