Our Prices vs. What the Chain Shops Quote.

The national chains carry corporate overhead, franchise fees, and advertising budgets. The dealerships mark up labor 40%. We don't. Same OEM-quality parts, same factory repair procedures, same paint booth discipline — without the markup. Every price below is published, verified, and honored in writing before we touch your car.

Matthews' family-owned auto body shop — full-service collision, paint, and mechanical repair under one roof. Cheaper than the chains. Faster than the dealerships. Honest work, every time.

What Sets Us Apart

Two Things Every Customer Asks Before They Trust Us.

What we do differently — and what you won't find at this shop. Both matter.

✓ What we do

The things we take seriously.

Free towing after an accident.

Call us from the scene. We dispatch a tow at no charge and bill your insurance directly. You never pay out of pocket for towing when we do the repair.

One shop. Body, paint, mechanical, electrical.

If your accident damaged suspension, cooling, or sensors in addition to the sheet metal, we fix everything under one roof. One invoice. One timeline. One point of contact.

Direct insurance billing with any carrier.

Geico, State Farm, Allstate, Progressive, Farmers, Liberty Mutual, USAA, Nationwide — we handle documentation, adjuster negotiation, and paperwork. You make zero calls.

Published flat prices. Written quotes.

You see what painting costs before you call. Every full estimate is itemized, in writing, and in your hands before we touch a panel.

✕ What you won't find

The things we won't do to you.

No inflated repair lists.

We tell you what needs fixing now, what can wait, and what you can skip entirely. The shop that "finds" three new problems after the adjuster leaves isn't working for you.

No "call for quote" games.

Our painting prices are on this page. If another shop won't quote bumper paint over the phone, that's usually because they intend to pick a number after they see your car.

No chain-shop overhead charged to you.

The national body-shop chains carry franchise fees, advertising budgets, and corporate intake layers. We don't. Same OEM-quality parts, same factory paint procedures — without the markup.

No pressure. No upsells.

You decide what gets fixed. We tell you the truth about what we see. The estimate is free whether you bring the car in or not.

I recently contacted Prime Motors Corp for frame repair after an accident, and I was absolutely thrilled! They were professional from the start: they diagnosed the car, explained everything in detail, and gave a reasonable price.
