WHAT MAKES AND MODELS OF VEHICLES DO YOU SERVICE?
70 West Body Shop provides collision repair, autobody work, and auto restoration on all makes and models; you don’t have to take your car to the dealership. In fact, we usually have more overall experience that gives us a wider perspective, making us more conscientious of options and various ways to solve problems.
The other great news is that your vehicle’s warranty won’t be voided by taking it to a non-dealership auto body shop. Our workmanship is guaranteed for a lifetime!
WHAT ARE THE DETAILS REGARDING YOUR LIFETIME WORKMANSHIP GUARANTEE?
Our guarantee covers our workmanship. Our work is professional grade and we use quality materials. Our workmanship will meet or exceed factory specifications and standards. Normal wear, tear, and rust are not covered by our guarantee.

This is not a service that we provide. Our autobody solutions are permanent and durable, whereas a vinyl ad wrap is removable and made with other materials. Also, because these processes are quite dissimilar they require different equipment.
