We have such a strong reputation for factory correct repairs, that customers come to us from as far away as Connecticut and New Jersey to get their cars repaired. We absolutely refuse to cut corners in repairing cars. We only use OEM parts purchased from the dealership, and we go to extreme lengths to match the paint and repair processes recommended by the factory that built your car.
Frame Repair
Many manufacturers require a specific frame bench with dedicated fixture attachments tailored specifically for each vehicle. These dedicated systems ensure that each vehicle repaired at Mid Island Collision Centers is restored to the tolerances specified by the OEM, which means +/- 1mm to 3mm. This is why we have heavily invested in Cellete dedicated bench frame repair machines and Celette Naja electronic measuring systems– allowing us to repair, replace and in some cases where permitted by the OEM realign vehicle uni-bodies and frames, auto and truck frames back to their exact factory specifications. Where some Long Island auto body collision repair shops might have one or two frame machines, we have seven Celette bench frame machines, one XL Celette bench and three chief frame machines for non-European vehicles– allowing us to handle a much higher volume of cars. What this means to you as a consumer is that your car will not be delayed while waiting for time on the frame machines.
Body Painting
With all auto body repair, comes auto painting. Some shops are good at it, some leave a lot to be desired. We strive to create an imperceptible repair once your car leaves our shop. We can match any paint color, even the texture of the paint as it left the factory. The two down draft spray booths we use to refinish vehicles and the factory approved paint system allows us to reproduce the original finish on your car. This process removes the dust particles from the air which cause imperfections in the paint surface. We spray the approved paint system for each manufacturer that we are certified for to ensure an undetectable repair

Your life depends on the ability of an auto body repair technician to do their job properly. At Mid Island Collision Centers, you will only find auto repairs done the way the auto manufacturers recommend–-with OEM-certified technicians using state-of-the-art equipment mandated by the OEMs.
