“Stopped by the shop to make an appointment for an estimate. Was able to have an estimate performed immediately. Received estimate via email within 1 hour. Ordered parts that day. Parts were in the next day. Car went in for repair the next day. Was provided a courtesy vehicle and the interior of the car was cleaned upon return - what a nice surprise! Awesome service and highly recommended!!!” ~ Mark, Google reviewer

“Had a weather-related dent on my Tacoma repaired at Rocky Mountain Collision - they were excellent to deal with, very professional, very organized. Top notch service from Steven at the front desk. The repair to my door is flawless (looks like a brand new door!) and it was completed faster than scheduled... plus, it was a nice surprise to see the interior so clean when I picked it up. Highly recommend Rocky Mountain Collision.” ~ Graham, Google reviewer

“Ran over a deer on the highway, damaged the front bumper and underside of my car. Rocky Mountain literally dealt with everything, ICBC and all. Was provided with a nice car while mine was being fixed. Repairs were spotless and they cleaned the car top to bottom, inside and out. The last time it was this clean was when I bought it from the dealership. Service was wonderful to boot.” ~ Gerald, Google reviewer

My car needs a new paint job. Where can I get a quote on automotive paint in Cranbrook?

We are here to help restore your vehicle’s paint to its former glory (or change it for a completely new look).

Providing top-quality computer paint matching, Rocky Mountain Collision has an impressively large, full down-draft paint booth equipped to tackle any size of job. The shop uses DuPont paint, a technologically sophisticated and environmentally responsible product.

Repainting your car is more than just an aesthetically pleasing investment. It also lends more durability to your vehicle’s exterior, covers scratches (preventing rust from developing) and adds to resale value.

Tips for protecting a newly painted vehicle

Fresh paint needs about 60 days to off-gas and properly cure. That’s why we recommend the following precautions after a new paint job to ensure you won’t need our services again too soon:

• Washing the vehicle by hand with car wash soap is the best way to prevent scratches
• If you’re using a commercial car wash, please use a touchless car wash as stiff brushes and bristles can damage the paint surface. Avoid using pressure washers on fresh paint for the first 60 days.
• Never use dishwasher detergent
• No wax for at least two months. A wax job will trap those gasses between the wax and the paint, resulting in a loss of gloss or shine. That’s no way to treat your new ride!
• Using a scraper to remove ice and snow from your vehicle’s fresh paint is akin to sandpaper on a baby’s skin.
• The acidity in bird droppings can quickly and adversely affect fresh paint. If you’re “lucky” enough to find the mess while still wet, use a damp cloth to wipe it off. Dry droppings, however, need a bit more attention. Soak a paper towel with warm water and lay it over the spot until the droppings soften and loosen. Then use a second damp cloth to wipe it clean.
• Avoid gravel roads and following big trucks as it’s easier to chip fresh paint in the first 60 days
• Lastly, try to avoid parking under trees that are known to drop sap or sticky fuzz. In the event there is a spot or two, generic gas line antifreeze makes removal easy.
