Optimum Means
Factory Certified Experts Genuine, Original Parts Lifetime Warranty

For over three decades, our family owned and operated body shop has been repairing your vehicles to the manufacturers requirements.

"We believe that auto body shops should set a higher standard to serve our community."

That’s the principle that Charlie Gilchrist went by for both his dealerships and the body shop. Of course, this principle doesn’t apply to just good customer service and quality of work.

A higher standard means much more than body and paint. Providing a safe repair that also preserves the value of your automobile is as important to us as it is to you.

Our talented and dedicated team takes pride in helping our customers navigate the unfamiliar insurance claims process. We genuinely have your best interest in mind, and it shows.

We are very proud of our Gilchrist Automotive team that has contributed to the accomplishment of the prestigious Ford Distinguished Achievement Award, the President’s Award, and the North American Customer Excellence Award.

Why Wait? Let's Start Your Repair Now.

Click the link below to request an online repair estimate. Give us a little information about your vehicle, attach a couple pictures of the damage and you are done. No apps to download and only takes a few minutes. We can send you a repair estimate and discuss the next steps to help get you back on the road.

Preliminary Estimate

Easy Online Estimate

Basic contact information, year, make and model of vehicle and a few photos of the damage and vehicle identification number (VIN).

If the online form is completed during regular operating hours, a collision specialist will usually reach out the same day. If done during off hours, a specialist will contact you the next morning.

To get you the most accurate online estimate, we ask that you send a picture of your vehicle identification number (VIN). This is easily found at the corner of your dash where it meets the windshield (easily viewed from outside) and on the driver's side door jamb. For more information, see here.
