Precision Sheet Metal Engineering

The field of auto body repair has evolved as modern vehicles now require service methods that extend beyond traditional metalworking techniques. Today’s manufacturers design vehicles using advanced materials and engineered body structures that demand precise repair standards, certified procedures, and specialized equipment. 

Body components are built with complex structural patterns and material combinations that must be restored with exact methods in order to maintain factory tolerances and original safety performance. Proper repairs require designated tools, controlled techniques, and technicians trained to follow manufacturer-approved repair procedures. 

Anthony’s Auto Craft uses modern repair technology that enables our team to restore vehicle body panels to their original shape and dimensions while preserving structural integrity. We apply specialized dent-removal systems, controlled metal-shaping techniques, and manufacturer-approved tools to complete panel repairs that follow OEM procedures and meet factory specifications.

Collision Repair

A real collision is loud, scary, and confusing. Most people call us with two questions: “Where do I take it?” and “Will this be a fight with my insurance?” We take care of both.

Every collision repair job starts with a free estimate at 111 Verdi Street. We document the damage, send it to your insurance carrier, and write the supplements when the adjuster misses something. If the frame moved, it goes on a laser bench. If airbags deployed, they get replaced to factory spec. If sensors need recalibration, they get recalibrated. The car leaves looking the way it did before the wreck.

  • Major collision rebuilds
  • Bumper repair & replacement
  • Quarter panel repair
  • Rear bumper replacement

Auto Body Repair

Auto body repair sounds simple until you need it. A pushed-in fender or a smashed door involves stamped metal, hidden mounting points, and a paint code that has to disappear into the panel next to it. Get any one of those wrong and the new paint looks like a Band-Aid for the rest of the car’s life.

We have done this work for half a century, and our auto body repair team handles every kind of damage — fender repair, door repair, panel replacement, plastic bumper repair, and aluminum body repair on Tesla, Audi, Range Rover, and Mercedes. We use OEM parts where the warranty calls for them and high-grade aftermarket only when it makes sense for you.

Troubleshooting Guide

My bumper looks only scuffed after an impact. Could there be hidden damage?
A bumper cover can conceal damaged attachments or components behind it. The outside appearance alone does not establish the extent of an impact. Tell Anthony's Auto Craft where the car was struck and report any new noise, warning or change in how it drives.Learn More About Luxury Collision RepairLearn More About Mercedes Body RepairLearn More About Maserati Body Repair
Why is the airbag warning on after a collision?
A warning can indicate a fault affecting the restraint system, even if an airbag did not deploy. Do not erase it or assume the restraints will work normally. Arrange qualified assessment and tell Anthony's Auto Craft the exact warning before planning vehicle delivery.Learn More About Luxury Collision RepairLearn More About Mercedes Body RepairLearn More About Maserati Body Repair
What should I do if my bumper or underbody trim is hanging loose?
Loose parts can detach or contact a tire or the road. Stop somewhere safe and do not reach beneath the vehicle in traffic. Describe the loose area to Anthony's Auto Craft and arrange assistance if the vehicle cannot be moved safely.Learn More About Luxury Collision RepairLearn More About Mercedes Body RepairLearn More About Maserati Body Repair
There is a new leak after the collision. Is it safe to drive?
The source and severity cannot be established from fluid color alone. Do not continue driving with a substantial leak, fuel smell, smoke or a critical warning. Keep clear of leaking fluids and contact appropriate assistance; advise Anthony's Auto Craft of the leak before delivery.Learn More About Luxury Collision RepairLearn More About Mercedes Body RepairLearn More About Maserati Body Repair
Why are parking-sensor or driver-assistance warnings appearing after impact?
Damage or displacement near a sensor or camera can affect its operation, but testing is needed to establish the cause. Do not rely on an affected assistance feature. Give Anthony's Auto Craft the exact warning and impact location so any required inspection or calibration can be considered.Learn More About Luxury Collision RepairLearn More About Mercedes Body RepairLearn More About Maserati Body Repair
How can I tell whether a scratch needs more than polishing?
A surface mark and a scratch through the coating can require different work, and appearance alone can be misleading. Avoid aggressive rubbing compounds while the damage is unassessed. Anthony's Auto Craft can inspect the finish and discuss a suitable repair.Learn More About Luxury Collision RepairLearn More About Maserati Body Repair
A paint chip has exposed the material underneath. What should I do?
Have the damaged coating assessed before the exposed area deteriorates further. Avoid scraping or applying an unverified product that could complicate refinishing. Point out the chip and any discoloration to Anthony's Auto Craft.Learn More About Luxury Collision RepairLearn More About Maserati Body Repair
Why does the damaged or repaired area look different in sunlight?
Lighting, finish texture, color variation and the viewing angle can change how a panel appears. A photograph does not always show the difference accurately. Ask Anthony's Auto Craft to examine the area under suitable lighting before deciding what correction is needed.Learn More About Luxury Collision RepairLearn More About Maserati Body Repair
Why is clear coating peeling or flaking?
Peeling can involve coating deterioration or an adhesion problem; it is not automatically a defect in the metal underneath. Polishing cannot restore missing coating. Anthony's Auto Craft can assess the affected area and the refinishing work it needs.Learn More About Luxury Collision RepairLearn More About Maserati Body Repair
What can cause bubbles or discoloration around damaged paint?
A coating problem or deterioration beneath the surface can change the finish. The visible mark does not reveal the full condition underneath. Avoid covering it with touch-up paint before Anthony's Auto Craft has assessed the area.Learn More About Luxury Collision RepairLearn More About Maserati Body Repair
My door will not latch properly after an accident. What should I do?
Do not drive with a door that cannot close and latch securely. A displaced panel, hinge or latch area may be involved, but the cause needs inspection. Avoid slamming it repeatedly and discuss safe transport with Anthony's Auto Craft.Learn More About Luxury Collision RepairLearn More About Mercedes Body RepairLearn More About Maserati Body Repair
Why are the gaps around my hood or trunk uneven after impact?
Changed gaps can indicate displaced panels or damage to supporting areas. Adjusting the visible panel without assessment can miss underlying problems. Show Anthony's Auto Craft where the fit changed, and do not drive if the hood cannot latch securely.Learn More About Luxury Collision RepairLearn More About Mercedes Body RepairLearn More About Maserati Body Repair
Why is there new wind noise after body damage?
A change in panel fit, a disturbed seal or trim damage can allow air through. Note which area the sound comes from without trying to investigate while driving. Those details help Anthony's Auto Craft assess the affected body and sealing surfaces.Learn More About Luxury Collision RepairLearn More About Mercedes Body RepairLearn More About Maserati Body Repair
Why is rainwater entering around a door or trunk after a collision?
A displaced seal, damaged seam or changed panel fit can allow water into the vehicle. Record where it appears and protect belongings without blocking drains or sealing over the area. Arrange an assessment with Anthony's Auto Craft rather than assuming the seal alone is responsible.Learn More About Luxury Collision RepairLearn More About Mercedes Body RepairLearn More About Maserati Body Repair
My door or trunk rubs another panel when opening. Should I keep using it?
Repeated movement can damage the finish or worsen a fit problem. Do not force a panel that binds or catches. Tell Anthony's Auto Craft where the contact occurs so the panel, attachments and surrounding structure can be assessed.Learn More About Luxury Collision RepairLearn More About Mercedes Body RepairLearn More About Maserati Body Repair
