Restore your car’s look and protect your investment with expert body work.
Driving in Houston means your car deals with everything from tight parking lots and stray shopping carts to heavy traffic and sudden storms. Small dings and dents, fender benders, and scraped bumpers are pretty much unavoidable. Over time, even minor damage can lead to rust or more serious issues that hurt your car’s value.
That’s where Uptown Automotive steps in. As a full-service body shop, we handle everything from collision repairs and paint jobs to bumper replacements and scratch removal. We’ve got the tools, training, and experience to get your car looking like it just rolled off the lot again.
No two repairs are exactly the same, but we always follow a proven process to make sure your car leaves looking fantastic.
Initial Inspection and Estimate: We start with a full assessment of your car, checking both visible and hidden damage. Then we create a clear repair plan and work with your insurance to get everything approved.
Disassembly and Frame Measuring: If your vehicle was in a collision, we disassemble affected areas and use digital measuring systems to make sure your frame is straight and true.
Body Repairs and Replacement: Next, we handle dent pulling, panel replacements, and welding. Whether it’s a small dent or major structural repair, we get it back to factory specs.
Sanding and Prep: Before painting, we sand and prep the repaired areas so the new paint lays down smooth and bonds properly.
Painting and Clear Coat: In our climate-controlled booths, we apply perfectly matched paint, followed by a clear coat that adds depth and protects against UV rays and chips.
Reassembly and Detail: We put your car back together, test all systems, and finish up with a full detail, cleaning glass, wiping door jambs, and dressing the tires.
Final Quality Check: Before you pick it up, we go over every line and panel to make sure everything meets our high standards, and yours.
Our shop does more than just patch up accident damage. Here’s how we keep Houston vehicles looking and driving their best:
Collision Repair: From minor fender benders to major crashes, we fix body damage and repaint to factory quality so it’s like the accident never happened.
Paint Services: Whether you’ve got small scratches or need a full respray, we restore your car’s color and protect it from fading or peeling.
Glass Replacement: Cracked windshields and windows? We install clear, durable OEM-quality glass to keep you safe.
Automotive Restorations: Bringing back a classic or fixing up a well-loved ride? We handle rust repair, body work, and fresh paint so it shines again.
Bumper Repair and Replacement: Scuffs, cracks, or complete bumper swaps, whatever you need, we’ll match the color and finish so it looks seamless.
We get it, DIY videos make it look easy. But fixing body damage or painting your own car often costs more in the long run. Here’s why:
Poor Prep: Most people skip proper sanding or fixing dents underneath. That means paint might bubble or flake off in months, leaving you with a finish that looks worse than before.
Wrong Products: Hardware store fillers and paints aren’t made for automotive finishes. They fade fast and don’t protect against rust or chips, so your car ends up vulnerable to even more damage.
No Controlled Space: A garage or driveway has dust, wind, and bugs that ruin fresh paint. Without a sealed booth, you’re almost guaranteed to end up with dirt and debris stuck under the surface.
Bad Color Matches: DIY kits rarely blend well, so your door or bumper ends up looking off. Nothing stands out more than a patch that’s a shade too light or dark.
Missed Safety Issues: If your car’s been hit, there could be hidden damage like bent suspension or cracked welds. We inspect everything so you’re safe and don’t run into problems down the road.
We see these mistakes all the time, cars come to us needing old filler stripped off or paint completely redone. It’s always cheaper and better to get it fixed right the first time.
At Uptown Automotive, we’re far more than just a body shop. We also provide a full lineup of mechanical, cosmetic, and protective services so your car stays in top shape inside and out.
Scheduled Maintenance: Regular maintenance keeps your car running reliably and saves you money down the road. We handle oil changes, fluid checks, and thorough inspections to catch problems early. Staying ahead on service means fewer surprises later.
Brake Repairs: If your brakes squeal, grind, or feel soft, it’s time to get them checked. We replace pads, rotors, and calipers so you can stop safely every time. It’s a simple way to keep your family protected on Houston’s busy roads.
Suspension Repairs: Rough rides, clunks, or uneven tire wear often mean suspension issues. We repair shocks, struts, and other components to bring back smooth handling. You’ll notice the difference in comfort and control right away.
Air Conditioning Services: Houston’s heat is brutal without working AC. We recharge systems, fix leaks, and replace worn parts so you stay cool even in August. A strong AC makes every drive far more comfortable.
Engine Diagnostics: Check engine light on? We’ll run thorough scans to find the problem fast and recommend the right fix. Getting ahead of engine trouble means fewer breakdowns and expensive repairs.
Ceramic Coating: Want a deep, glossy finish that repels dirt and water? Ceramic coating bonds to your paint, making it easier to clean while shielding against grime and minor scratches. It keeps your car looking sharp for years.
Paint Protection Film: This clear, durable film guards your paint from chips, scratches, and Houston road debris. It’s nearly invisible but tough enough to take hits your paint can’t. Protecting your finish now helps hold your car’s value later.
We love serving drivers from Houston and surrounding communities like Cypress, Bellaire, Spring Branch, Willowbrook, Hunters Creek Village, and Jersey Village.
