More Than Just a Body Shop
Most collision repair shops send you somewhere else for mechanical work. Not us. Prime's Auto Service has a full mechanical department with experienced auto mechanics who can diagnose and repair anything under the hood — or under the car.
This matters because collision damage often goes beyond what you can see. A rear-end hit can affect your exhaust system. A front-end collision can damage radiators, AC lines, and engine components. Having body and mechanical under one roof means nothing gets missed and you don't have to shuttle your car between shops.

Why Bring Your Car to a Shop That Does It All?
When your vehicle needs both body work and mechanical repair — which is common after accidents — having everything done in one place saves you time, money, and headaches. There's no back-and-forth between shops, no miscommunication about what was found, and one team that takes full ownership of getting your car right.
Even if you don't need body work, our mechanical team stands on its own. Our mechanics work on all makes and models, from daily drivers to trucks, SUVs, and fleet vehicles. We diagnose properly before we repair — we're not going to sell you parts you don't need.
Common Scenarios We Handle
Post-collision mechanical damage: You got your car back from another body shop but something doesn't feel right — weird noises, pulling to one side, check engine light. We'll diagnose what they missed.
Preventive maintenance: Oil changes, brake inspections, fluid services — the routine stuff that keeps your car running and prevents expensive surprises.
Mystery problems: Strange noise, weird smell, dashboard warning light. Bring it in and we'll figure out what's going on — no guesswork.
