efficient and state-of-the-art facilities of the Twenty-First Century.
C & W is now recommended by many major dealers and insurance
companies along with several different manufacturers, not only for
their accommodating and knowledgeable expertise, but above all,
our workmanship and the quality of all our repairs.
We will be more than happy to provide you with a list of references
upon request.
HIGH VISIBILITY
For any direct repair program to be successful, the shop must attract
a majority of its customers with a minimum of objections. At C & W we have simply outdistanced the competition. Every city
has one — the best restaurant, the best grocery store, the
best place to shop. Very simply put, we are the best place for auto
body repairs in the area and as such have marketed ourselves very
successfully through newspaper advertising, direct mail, several
billboards and several television commercials. We feel that this
advertising campaign creates the perfect bridge to overcome the
unknown feeling experienced by today’s insureds. Advertising
and visibility can defuse most any objections that can happen in
some referral programs when a less visible repair facility is chosen.
EQUIPMENT
FRAME AND UNIBODY
With productivity as our objective, our Continental four and six
tower unibody straightening equipment is ideal for light to extensively
damaged vehicles. This allows us to place each and every vehicle
back to manufacturer’s specifications, using a full complement
of measuring devices and manufacturers’ manuals.
ABOVE GROUND LIFTS
With two above ground lifts available, a great amount of time can
be saved by a thorough initial inspection to view the underside
and inspect for damage the first time.
PAINT MIXING AND COLOR MATCHING
For the best possible finish and color match, we have installed
two separate and independent mixing systems that, combined, offer
the best manufacturing paint products in the world. Our refinishing
department takes pride providing quality finishes suitable for any
and all makes and models on the road today. This entire facility
is enclosed in an explosion-proof, expertly designed room.
PAINT BOOTH
We know that the Twenty-First Century will show a paint revolution,
and we are ready. Our paint booth, a Garmat Downdraft with baking
capacity, was custom designed to manufacturer’s specifications.
PREP STATIONS
With four prep station areas, we feel confident we can handle all
your painting concerns. Custom built for C & W Auto to ensure
safety and comply with state and Federal clean air guidance laws,
this provides us a cost-effective paint department by allowing more
cars to be prepped and then to be painted every day.

manufactured computerized testing equipment, to meet today’s
many computerized vehicles; engine and transmission lifts; a fully
computerized alignment system; and too many more to mention.

safety to our technicians.
DETAILING AND WASH AREA
