European & exotic
European and exotic body work in Portland. All makes welcome.
BMW, Mercedes, Audi, and Porsche are our daily work, and Ferrari, Lamborghini, and McLaren come through the same doors. Independent shop, I-CAR Gold Class, family-owned in Southeast Portland since 2010. We work on everything else too.
Why owners bring European cars to an independent.
- Independent rates
- The same careful body and paint work the dealer body shop does, without the dealer body shop overhead on your bill. Our collision repair work covers everything from a fender crease to a full structural rebuild.
- You are not a number
- A small shop that answers the phone, walks you through the estimate, and keeps you posted by text and email the whole way.
- Color match that holds up
- The detail European owners notice most. We match the finish so the repair disappears into the rest of the car. See our auto paint and color matching page for details.
What European collision repair actually involves.
Modern European vehicles are not conventional steel unibody cars. Getting the repair right means understanding the materials and the sequence.
Aluminum and mixed-material structures
BMW, Audi, Mercedes, and others use aluminum extensively in closures and structural components. Repairing these correctly means using bonding, riveting, and appropriate welding methods, not treating aluminum like steel. We identify the material at the estimate stage so the repair method matches what the manufacturer intended.
ADAS sensor awareness
Front and rear impacts on most European cars built after 2018 involve cameras, radar, and ultrasonic sensor arrays. A repair that does not account for sensor mounting positions can leave a car with active safety systems that are subtly misaligned. We flag these components during the estimate and verify the structural work is complete before reassembly.
OEM parts sourcing on request
We can source OEM parts for European models on request. We will walk you through the options, costs, and any insurer guidance during the estimate so you can decide what is right for your car. The decision is yours, not the insurance company's.
Custom paint and factory color match
European manufacturers produce some of the most demanding paint finishes in the industry: Frozen BMW colors, AMG multi-stage blacks, Porsche PTS specials, Audi Nardo Gray. We read the factory code off the car, mix fresh, and spray booth-controlled. The goal is a repair the owner does not spot from two feet away.
I-CAR Gold Class. BBB A+ accredited. Family-owned in Southeast Portland since 2010.
I-CAR Gold Class is the collision industry's highest training credential, third-party proof the team is trained to current repair standards. The exotics in our gallery, BMW and Porsche through Ferrari, Lamborghini, and McLaren, are the hands-on proof. The same hands that assess your car repair it, and you hear from us by text and email the whole way through. We work directly with every insurance carrier on the claim.
The makes we see most.
These four fill the shop on any given week. The rest are just as welcome, all makes, every time.
- BMW
- From an aging 3 Series to an M car, you want the lines kept honest and the finish kept tight. That is the work we are known for. BMW collision repair.
- Mercedes-Benz
- Deep metallics and soft body curves are unforgiving on a respray. We blend so the panel reads like it left the factory that way. Mercedes-Benz collision repair.
- Audi
- Owners who notice gaps and shut lines notice them on us too. We put the car back together the way it came apart, panel for panel. Audi collision repair.
- Porsche
- These get driven and they get loved, often both hard. We treat a scuffed 911 with the same care you would. Porsche collision repair.
Exotics come through too. We have had Ferrari, Lamborghini, and McLaren on the lift, alongside Maserati and Aston Martin, and they get the same patient hands as everything else. The owner's Lamborghini Murcielago, painted in-house, sits in the shop as proof.
European makes we service.
Each make has its own page with model-specific details on what the collision repair involves.
Whether you own an import, a domestic, or a high-performance exotic, this is the place to bring it.
The European work is what we are known for, but the door is open to every make. Lexus, Jeep, a classic, your daily driver, all of it gets the same care.
Questions about European repair.
Yes. We work on all European makes, including Audi, Porsche, Volvo, Mini, Aston Martin, Maserati, Ferrari, McLaren, and more. Every make is welcome here.
No. Dealer body shops are one option, but you are always free to choose an independent shop like ours. We handle the same structural, panel, and paint work, and we work directly with your insurer.
Yes. Many European platforms use aluminum closures, mixed-material structures, or carbon fiber components. We assess the material and repair method as part of every estimate so nothing gets missed.
Training and equipment, not a dealer sign. We are I-CAR Gold Class certified, the collision industry's highest training credential, and BBB A+ accredited with zero complaints on file since 2020. We measure structures to factory spec, match paint by code in a controlled booth, and account for sensor calibration. The work in our gallery, from BMW and Porsche to Ferrari, Lamborghini, and McLaren, is the proof.
Yes, on request. We will walk you through OEM, aftermarket, and recycled options, the costs, and any insurer guidance during the estimate so you can decide what is right for your car. The choice is yours, not the insurance company's.
Yes, and the gallery is the proof. The owner's blue Lamborghini Murcielago lives in the shop, painted in-house, and Ferrari, McLaren, Aston Martin, and Maserati have all been on the lift. We keep exotic volume low on purpose so each car gets full attention rather than an assembly-line pass.
We flag every camera, radar, and ultrasonic sensor affected by the damage at the estimate and restore the mounting points to spec. Calibration is built into the plan and handled in-house or with a calibration specialist, depending on the system, so nothing gets missed at pickup.
