About Us
Celebrating Over 20 Years of delivering High Quality
Results.... not Excuses!
Village Body & Paint has maintained the
privilege of
working on the area's finest automobiles, and serving the
best customers in Northern Virginia, Washington DC. and Maryland, since
1984.
We take pride in giving the
area's most particular
customers exactly what they have been looking for.
Most of the cars in the
shop at any given time belong to customers who have been referred by
our loyal customer
base.
As of January 1, 2004 we have had the pleasure of working
on more than 40 Ferraris, 7 Rolls Royces, 4 Maseratis, 3
Lamborghinis, 3 Austin Healeys, 1 Aston Martin, and
numerous Porsches, Mercedes, Jaguars, BMWs, and almost every other
make of automobile.
Some of our craftsmanship can
be seen on the covers of
Austin Healey Magazine, EAA Warbirds Magazine, EZ Rider,
and at the Washington DC World of Wheels Show.
With expertise in all facets
of Auto Body Repair and refinishing, along with
Metal and Fiberglass Custom Fabrication, we have become widely known
for a level a versatility not found in typical body shops.
We have produced 3 Award Winning Airplane Paint Jobs,
one of
which was given 1st Place in the category of
Best Finish in a
national competition held at the
Sun and Fun Air Show in
Lakeland, Florida.
In 1988 we were among the first in Northern Va. to
convert to the world's finest refinishing system.
Our GLASURIT refinishing system has been the original
equipment material selected by manufacturers such as
Ferrari, Volkswagen, Porsche, Mercedes, and BMW, since
the 1960s... and has evolved into the high tech system we continue to
use today.
We work well with most insurance companies;
A key factor separating us from
the ordinary shops is that
we take the position of ONLY working to achieve the best results for
our customers.
We do not allow insurance
companies to run our shop by dictating the use of low-grade materials,
aftermarket parts,
and insufficient repair time allowances.
We work diligently with most insurance
companies, as a courtesy to our customers, to uphold the best interest
of our customers.
Our attention to details such as adjusting the tone and
tint
of color to match your specific automobile, is just one of so
many reasons our customers drive by so many other shops
to reach us.
Today's automobile technology often rivals the
sophistication of modern day aircraft, with innovations
such as 4 wheel steering, antilock brakes, satellite
tracking, airbag systems, alarms, and more.
By hiring only qualified personnel we stay ready
and able
to meet the demands of these ongoing changes. Our rates
typically run $10 to $20 per hour higher than a "bargain"
shop estimate. so a 10 hour job can run $100 to $200 more
than many of the "bargain" shops.
