01
Stripped back first
Filler hides a multitude of shortcuts. Panels come back to primer so we can see what the metal is actually doing before a drop of color goes near it.
Auto body and collision repair, Garland, TX
We put it back the way it was.
A locally owned body shop on Forest Lane. We check the structure before the paint, match color against a finish the Texas sun has already changed, and hand the car back the way you remember it.

From the archive
Six cars, start to finish
Scroll through work that actually left this building. Collision jobs pay the bills; the restorations are how the crew keeps its hand in.
02
Back in color
The same car, wearing the finish it left with. Highly wreck-o-mended, as the wall inside the shop puts it.
03
Masked, not rushed
Masking is where a paint job is won or lost. Edges get taped properly and the car sits until the booth is genuinely ready for it.
04
Worth saving
A Ranchero that most shops would have turned away, opened up and worked through section by section.
05
Two-tone, finished
Straight lines, an even break between the colors, and a finish that holds up in Texas sun rather than flattening out in a year.
06
Out the bay door
The part of the job the owner actually cares about. Keys back, car driving the way it did before someone hit it.
What we do
Repair phases, not a price list
Most cars come in for one of these. Every one of them starts with the same free estimate, and we tell you if something does not need doing.
Structure first
Collision Repair
After a crash we check the structure before the paint. Hidden frame damage, a bent subframe or shifted suspension changes how the car drives and how it protects you next time.

Before and after
The gap between those two photos is the whole job.
Drag the handle. Neither photo has been retouched, and both cars were worked on in the bay behind the building on 3578 Forest Ln.
What people say
Alex was amazing! Super sweet, very kind, professional and attentive. He kept me informed throughout my entire repair process.
Alex and his expert team did an incredible job on my 22' Kia Stinger. He made the whole process so simple and smooth for me.
I dropped my car off on a Friday, and it was ready by the following Thursday. These guys are truly amazing-fast, friendly, and very affordable.
This was my third time using Sure Shot Collision, and once again they did a phenomenal job.
Before you call
The questions we get asked at the counter
About 10 to 15 minutes. Bring the vehicle to 3578 Forest Ln in Garland during shop hours and we will look at it while you wait. There is no charge and no obligation.
It depends on the damage and on parts availability, so we give you a real timeline once we have looked at the car rather than a number over the phone. As one example, a customer whose car was hit in a run and hit dropped it off on a Friday and picked it up the following Thursday.
That is the part most shops get wrong. Texas sun shifts and fades a finish over the years, so a panel sprayed straight from the factory paint code will look slightly off against the panels beside it. We mix, spray a test card and adjust the blend before anything goes on your car.
Paintless dent repair works the metal back into shape from behind the panel, reaching in through the trunk, a door panel or the engine bay. Nothing is sanded, filled or repainted, so your factory paint is never touched and there is no color matching or drying time. It suits hail dimples and door dings where the paint surface is still intact.
A rock chip caught early can usually be repaired. It becomes a replacement when the crack runs longer than about three inches, the chip is larger than a quarter, the damage sits in the driver's line of sight, or it reaches the edge of the glass. Chips spread fast, so the sooner we see it the more likely a repair will hold.
Yes. After a crash we check the underlying structure first, not just the panel you can see. Hidden frame damage, a bent subframe or shifted suspension components change how the car drives and how it protects you in the next collision.
