FREE ESTIMATES - prepared by Mitchell & Audatex
certified estimators
Our
current facility was expanded in 2003 and now offers
five separate bays to serve you better. We use
only top quality Sherwin Williams paints, custom
mixed on our computerized system to match your
car. Two separate paint bays allow us to
handle a steady traffic of vehicles.
Appraisal and Wash Bay - "We
underwent a major expansion just a few years ago, but since then business has
continued to grow and we've noticed our five service bays are nearly always
full." says co-owner Thane Myers. "We didn't want our customers
to have to wait for appraisals, so in 2006 expanded into a new bay on the
other side of our office. It's given us a bit of extra space as well for
an employee lunch room, and also provides an available spot for washing cars
whatever the outside weather." R/T's policy is to present your
finished car to you clean and shining. "That's important to us,"
notes Thane, "when you're paying for top quality auto body work, we insist
your car look its very best when you come to pick it up!"
In 2006, we hired a full-time
dedicated estimator so we could guarantee efficient and accurate estimates for
our customers. Cleve Isenor is one of our on-site appraisers and is certified in
the Mitchell & Audatex estimating systems. Here's Cleve in action...

Our
Staff - in addition to Owners Thane Myers & Robert Wilson,
and Office Manager Mary Ann Myers, R/T Collision Centre currently maintains a
crew of 11 collision experts. We're proud of our skilled staff, which
includes certified estimators, repair & refinishing technicians.
Between us, we bring many years of experience to the workplace, and we feel this
makes a definite difference to the quality of services we provide to you,
the customer!
Due to safety
regulations, the work areas are off limits to
visitors; however the "Bay Window"
provides a view of the action!
Here, we've thoroughly masked
this vehicle to allow paint touch-ups on just a few small areas...
