Kendrick Paint and Body is an automotive collision repair center.  Simply stated, we take wrecked vehicles and repair them to pre-accident condition.  In order to perform the most effective and safe repairs, our body shops are OEM certified by many of the major manufacturers, such as Nissan/Infiniti, Ford, FCA (Fiat Chrysler), Kia, Hyundai, Volvo, Volkswagen, Subaru, and more.  Our customers’ safety and satisfaction are our main goals.  

In an effort to provide the safest repairs, Kendrick invests in the newest technology, training, and equipment.  Our technicians are expert frame repairers, so customers can rest easy knowing their vehicles will be sound and safe upon return.  And, we follow all manufacturer recommended procedures.

Paint colors and methods are always evolving, and our trained and skilled painters use specialized computer systems to ensure each paint matches with precision.

Our Process

We provide safety-focused collision repairs to those who seek an outstanding customer experience with excellency and attention to detail.
1. THE INITIAL ESTIMATE

During the initial (or preliminary) estimate, you may visit one of our locations for an estimate, or one may be completed online via a photo estimate. The estimator writes an estimate based on visible damage and will discuss a schedule for repairs and any rental car reservations.

2. VEHICLE CHECK-IN & BLUEPRINT

At this stage, the estimator identifies all visible damage and/or concerns with the customer, and the customer is placed in a rental if needed. During the blueprint phase, the vehicle is disassembled to fully access and write a thorough estimate and plan for repairs. The customer is contacted to review damages, parts are ordered, and insurance approval (if needed) are completed at this time.

3. Pre-Scan

A preliminary diagnostic scan during the repair estimation phase to determine what diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) may be present, so proper repairs may be included.

4. STRUCTURAL & MECHANICAL

If structural or mechanical damage is identified at this point, those items must be corrected first to ensure occupant safety and vehicle stability. Using the most advanced 3D measuring equipment, vehicles will be returned to factory specifications per the OEM recommendations.

5. BODY REPAIR

During the body repair stage, technicians repair and/or replace all body panels or components that sustained damage.

6. REFINISH

All repaired and/or replaced parts and components are primed and sealed to enable better adhesion once the final top color and clear coats are applied.

7. REASSEMBLY

During the reassembly stage, the vehicle is put back together. The final molding and trim pieces are installed.

8. Post-Scan

A post-repair diagnostic scan to confirm that no DTCs remain. Any repair that requires disconnection of electrical components in order to perform the repair will require a post-repair diagnostic scan to confirm if the component is reconnected properly and functioning.

9. Calibration

Calibration ensures a vehicle’s systems are optimized for safety, efficiency, and performance. A vehicle that hasn’t been correctly calibrated can have reduced fuel efficiency, a higher likelihood of part failures, and/or potential safety risks.

10. FINAL QC & CLEANUP

After repairs are completed, the vehicle moves to the QC and cleanup stage, where repairs are examined and tested to ensure proper completion and Kendrick standards are met.

11. DELIVERY

Once the vehicle has passed the final QC, the estimator contacts the customer for delivery of vehicle.
