Auto Body Expressions, Inc.

Hi, my name is Mike Brado. I'm owner of Auto Body Expressions Inc. in Elk Grove, California, specializing in light and heavy collision repair, foreign and domestic. My wife and I opened Auto Body Expressions in 1991. We've been in business for 19 years, going on 20 in 2011. All of our technicians and paint technicians at Auto Body Expressions are iCar, ASC certified, also PPG certified, and industry-specific certified All insurance came as welcome. We're a direct repair network for AAA, farmers, 21st century, Unitron. We use computerized color matching cameras. The color matching camera will tell the computer the year, make, and model of the vehicle in color code. It researches 200,000 formulas and alternates, chooses the alternate shade that best fits the vehicle, and shades it due to the age, then downloads it to our laptop scale in our mixing room, where we make the products right here on site. Therefore, we can do a spray out of the color, and if it'slightly off, lighter or darker, we know what's in the formula so we can shade it and get it to match perfect. At Auto Body Expressions, we use computerized laser frame measuring systems built by Chief Automotive. It's a computerized laser frame measuring system that simultaneously measures length, width, and height three-dimensional and brings it back to the PC every two seconds while the technician's working on the vehicle. So as he's pulling, he doesn't either over-pull or under-pull. He knows exactly where the vehicle got to go. We can do a printout just We are honored to be a Premier facility for AAA. We've been doing business for them for all 19 years of us being in business. What a Premier facility status means is there's 600 facilities in Sacramento County. Only 10% of them, 60, made the cut to be on the AAA DRN program direct repair network. Only six of them, 1%, made the Premier status, only the best of the best.
