Collision Repair · Vancouver, WA

Certified collision repair, done right the first time.

Accident damage put back to factory fit and finish by a certified auto body technician. Insurance claim or out of pocket, the estimate is free either way.

After a collision, the hard part usually isn't the dent. It's not knowing whether the shop you picked will do the work properly, whether the paint will match, and whether your insurance will cover it.

Carcis Autobody Repair is owned and run by Carlos Carrasco Cisneros, a certified auto body technician who trained specifically for this trade. He does the work himself, which means the person who explains the repair to you is the same person who performs it.

Collision work here covers everything from a fender-bender to major accident damage, including panel repair and replacement, alignment back to factory fit, factory-matched paint, and total-loss rebuilds.

How a repair actually goes.

No mystery, no queue you never hear from again.

01 Free Estimate Bring the car in or book a time online. You get a straight assessment of what's damaged and what it costs to fix.

02 Insurance Or Not Going through insurance? We work directly with your adjuster. Paying yourself? Same process, same price list.

03 Teardown Damaged panels come off so the full extent of the damage is visible. If something shows up that wasn't in the estimate, you hear about it before any extra work happens.

04 Body Work Panels repaired or replaced and brought back to factory fit and alignment, so gaps and lines match the rest of the car.

05 Paint Mixed to your vehicle's factory color code and blended into the neighboring panels, so the repair doesn't announce itself in daylight.

06 Final Check Reassembled, cleaned up, and gone over before you see it. You get the car back looking like the accident never happened.

Your insurer can suggest a shop. You pick one.

After an accident, an adjuster will often point you toward a shop on their list. That's a recommendation, not a requirement — the car is yours and so is the choice. Tell your adjuster you're using Carcis Autobody Repair in Vancouver, and we'll handle the rest with them directly.

Common questions.

What does certified collision repair mean?

It means the person doing the work trained for it and earned a certification, rather than picking it up on the side. Carlos went to school for auto body work and earned his technician certification before opening the shop.

Can I choose my own body shop after an accident?

Yes. Your insurance company can recommend a shop, but the choice is yours. Give your adjuster our name and we'll work with them from there.

Do you work with insurance claims?

Yes, claims and out of pocket both. The process is the same either way: a straight estimate, a clear timeline, and no upsell games.

What vehicles do you repair?

All makes and models, domestic and import, new and old. Recent jobs include a Tesla Model 3 and a Ford Focus, plus rust repair on classic cars that a lot of shops won't touch.

How much does collision repair cost?

It depends on the damage, which is why the estimate is free and comes with no obligation. Every job booked through February 14, 2027 also gets 10% off.

Will the paint match the rest of my car?

Yes. Paint is mixed to your vehicle's exact factory color code and blended into the surrounding panels so the repaired area doesn't stand out.

Dent Repair

Dents and scratches pulled from a black 2014 Ford Focus

A black 2014 Ford Focus came in with dents and scratches along the driver's side. Black paint hides nothing, so the panel had to read flat under reflection.
