Services

We strive to provide the latest in auto body services and technology. 
Here just a few of the services we provide for our customers:
 
Estimating

We make every effort to prepare a correct estimate the first time, occasionally this requires minor disassembly of damaged areas to get a closer look at the "not so obvious" that often happens in an accident. An in-depth estimate helps us and the insurance company insure a smooth flow of the repair process.  We use computerized estimating and management systems by Mitchell International, Inc.

We utilize State of the Art Frame Straightening Machine which is a high-tech, full-rack, vehicle straightening system. The machine is designed to bring your vehicle's frame, sub-frame, and body, back to with-in manufacturer/factory specified tolerances and clearances.

State-of-the-Art Heated Paint Booths.

Refinishing Today's factory finishes incorporate applications of highly specialized paints. We have made a major investment in the finest paint booths and painting system available. We take pride in our ability to match factory finishes as the last step of the restoration process. Matching these exotic finishes found on many of today's vehicles require special expertise in application techniques. Due to this expertise level, our refinish technicians are trained through Sherman Williams Program. This program enables us to offer a Lifetime Warranty on the vehicles finish as long as you own the vehicle.

Computerized Color Matching
Color matching the paint on your vehicle is both an art and exacting science.
Auto manufacturers apply paint to the bare shell of the vehicle in ovens where the temperatures exceed 190-degrees Farenheit. This is because the auto manufacturers paint the car before any of the wiring, electronics, hardware, or interiors are assembled into the vehicle. In the collision repair business, the paint can only be dried at temperatures up to 180-degrees—any hotter and damage will be done to the car's mechanical, electrical, and interior systems. In addition, all auto manufacturers use an electrolitically applied "E-coat" primer that is applied to the bare vehicle unibody or sheet metal—this is an immersion process in a liquid, electrically charged solution that is impossible to duplicate in the repair industry.
Finally, the colors used by auto manufacturers may vary widely on the same models painted with the same color. Variations in shading and coloring depend on if your car was painted at the front end or tail end of an assembly line run of paint. Most new cars today are also painted with "two coat" or "tri-coat" paint processes—where mica, pearl, and metallic materials are applied sequentially in the factory finish. These finishes often vary in appearance based on the angle from which they are viewed. For example, a green metallic paint can appear "teal-colored" when looking at a straight or flat surface such as a hood, but nearly "black" when looking at a rounded surface such as a fender.
All of these factors make paint mixing, tinting, and blending in the collision repair process even more critical. To properly repair a minor dent of several square inches, an entire panel may need to painted and the adjacent panels may need to be blended in order to achieve a precise color match. At Carrillo's Auto Body, we use computer-controlled sensing devices that provide the refinish technician with a precise formula to match the paint color on a vehicle.
