Most body shops in Stratford are set up for big insurance claims. Got a scratch? A door ding? A small dent from the grocery store parking lot? Those jobs can slip through the cracks. We built our shop specifically for the everyday repairs that keep your car looking its best.
Ontario winters are brutal. Rocker panels, wheel wells, fenders, frame rails — we cut out the rot, weld in new metal, and seal it up right.
Color matching, full respray, spot repair, clear coat restoration. Factory-quality results from Vitalii's trained eye.
Every job Vitalii touches gets the same care. Here's what customers have said after getting their vehicles back.
"Brought in my F-150 with rocker panel rust — Vitalii cut it all out, welded in new metal, and primed it properly. No shortcuts. Honestly couldn't tell where the old rust was. I'll be back for the other side once winter's done."
"Had a big parking lot scrape on my door. Other shops said minimum $600. Vitalii looked at the photos I sent and gave me three options. I picked the middle one, job was done in two days, looks like it never happened."
"I was skeptical about the online quote thing but it actually works. Sent photos Monday morning, had a real price by Monday afternoon. Dropped the car off Wednesday, picked it up Friday. Exactly what he quoted."
"Found this shop after Owen retired. Same unit, different owner — but same quality work. Vitalii matched my factory silver perfectly on a fender repair. Neighbours didn't even notice it had been done. That's a compliment."

Most shops give you one number. We give you three. The repair quality is identical across all tiers — same professional grinding, cutting, and epoxy priming. What changes is how much time Vitalii spends on aesthetic finishing. More time = more meticulous result = higher price. You decide how much that matters.
Professional repair. Practical finish.
Same high-quality metalwork — grinding, sanding, epoxy priming — with a clean, no-frills finish. Stops the rust and extends your vehicle’s life without the cost of cosmetic perfection. If you’ve got a truck worth $3,000 and the roof is starting to rust through, you don’t need a showroom finish — you need it safe and solid on the road for a few more years. That’s Protect.
The right balance of craft and cost.
Everything in Protect, plus proper color matching and more time spent on the finish. A repair that looks as good as it performs — without paying for perfection.
Indistinguishable from factory.
Maximum time invested in every detail — careful sanding, precision priming, flawless color match. For vehicles you’re proud of and want to keep that way. This is the tier Vitalii hopes you’ll pick — it empowers him to take the time to do perfect work, with pride of workmanship in every detail. We understand it comes at a cost, and that’s exactly why the choice is yours.
Submit your photos. We price all three tiers. You pick.
