Why Northampton drivers come to us

Downtown parking damage is our bread and butter

Northampton produces a specific kind of work: tight downtown parking, angled spaces on Main Street, garage pillars, and the door dings and scraped bumpers that come with them. Most of it looks worse than it is, and a lot of it is worth repairing without an insurance claim at all.

We will tell you honestly which side of that line your damage falls on. If paying out of pocket is cheaper than your deductible, we will say so.

Paint and scratch repair work at Full Tilt Auto Body

What we handle

From a scraped bumper to a rebuilt quarter panel

All of it in house, including the paint.

  • Bumper and fender repair

    The classic downtown scrape. Often repairable and refinished rather than replaced.

  • Dents and door dings

    Paintless dent removal where the paint is intact, conventional repair where it is not.

  • Collision repair

    Structural and panel work to factory specification, with color matched refinishing.

  • Scratch and scuff removal

    Machine polishing where the clear coat allows, refinishing where it does not.

Northampton questions

What people ask before they drive over

Do I have to use the body shop my insurance company picked?

No. Massachusetts law leaves the choice of repair shop with you. A carrier can recommend a shop, but you decide where your car is repaired.

Is it worth claiming, or should I pay myself?

Often it is not worth claiming. Bring it in, we will write the estimate, and you can weigh the real number against your deductible before deciding.

Can you match the paint on an older car?

Yes. We color match by code and by eye, and we blend into adjacent panels so a repair does not stand out.

How long will the repair take?

You get a real timeline with the written estimate, and a call if parts availability changes it.
