Auto Refinishing
The quality of our refinishing services is one of the skills A Touch Of Class Auto Body Inc. prides itself in. Restoring your vehicle to that factory appearance has always been a commitment to our customers. Included in our commitment to you is the PPG Lifetime Limited Paint Performance Guarantee. The PPG Paint Performance Guarantee also carries the Good Housekeeping Seal of approval.
Painting a vehicle properly is much harder than the average person would imagine. Most people view painting as a one step process. Actually there are multiple steps prior to refinishing. Each step requires different levels of perfectionism by each technician. This art form requires skill and patience before the paint application process begins.
The refinish process can definitely determine the cost of your repairs. Our facility chooses to offer refinishing services similar to those the factory uses when painting a new vehicle. The factory paints the complete vehicle prior to assembly. It is our standard to disassemble the vehicle as part of the extensive prep work process before any of our refinishing process begins.
Our painter’s color matching skill is the key to bringing your vehicle’s appearance back to that color match you expect. To retrieve the best color match we use PPG Rapid Match X-5 spectrophotometer to scan your vehicle panels. This information assists us to pinpoint the color that is on your vehicle. Upon selecting the color our certified artists then apply PPG’s Enviro-base paint to factory specifications.
Concerned for our employees and the neighborhood we are a part of, we continue to strive to be environmentally friendly. Using water-based paint solvents is one of the efforts we implement to protect our environment.
Whether you need that annoying scratch repaired or the complete refinishing of your vehicle we assure you that A Touch Of Class Auto Body Inc. will give you the highest level of professionalism around.

A/C & Cooling System
After a collision, there can numerous reasons why your A/C & Cooling system is not working. Your cars air conditioning system is working on a continuous cycle and everything happens at once.
The compressor is a simple pump that pushes refrigerant through the cycle. The high pressured gas flows through the tube into the condenser, this is in the front of the car’s radiator and uses the air flowing through it to keep it cool. This turns the hot refrigerant, which is normally a gas, “condenses” into a liquid as it cools.
The now liquid refrigerant flows through the tubing toward your car’s dash, where it passes through a small valve and changes back to a low-pressure pressure gas. As the small amounts of refrigerant passes through and relives pressure from the condenser the refrigerant becomes very cold.
The cold, low-pressure refrigerant goes into the evaporator, which is a radiator much like the condenser and is located in your dash. But since the refrigerant is cold now, it’s the air that is cooled by the radiator, rather than the radiator being cooled by the air. An electric blower fan pushes the cold air through the vents and into the passenger cabin.
