Direct-pay cosmetic and collision repair for owners who want concours-quality bodywork without carrier-driven shortcuts. Bumper repair, panel replacement, structural straightening, paint match.
Most body shops are insurance shops. Their margins, timelines, and material choices are dictated by what the carrier will reimburse — not what the car deserves. PACMods is the shop you call after the estimate has already been written, when you’d rather pay for the work to be done right than fight the carrier about why their number isn’t enough. We do not work with insurance carriers. We work with the owner.
Insurance carriers price-cap labour rates and dictate material choices. For a daily-driven sedan that’s an acceptable trade. For a Porsche GT car, a Ferrari, an Aston, or a long-term-keepers G-Wagon, it’s not. Carriers won’t pay for full-panel blend when a spot repair will satisfy a depreciation formula. They won’t pay spectrophotometer-matched paint when factory-code-only is "good enough." We decline that ceiling on every job.
Bumper repair on aluminium and SMC. Full panel replacement on steel and aluminum chassis. Structural straightening for after-impact vehicles where the unibody is out of true. Paint refinishing in our downdraft booth with spectrophotometer paint matching against the factory code, blended to full panel where the eye demands it. Collision recovery on exotics where the carrier’s shop list doesn’t include anyone who has touched the car’s paint code before.
You bring the car in, we scope the work in writing, and you have a complete number before any tool touches the panel. If you intend to submit anything to a carrier for partial reimbursement, we’ll provide documentation in the format the carrier accepts — but the work itself, the timeline, and the deliverable are between you and us. The shop is paid by the owner. The car is built for the owner.
Ferrari 488 front-end restoration after a kerb strike. McLaren 720s rear-quarter panel rebuild after a track-day off. BMW M4 unibody straightening after a parking-structure pillar contact. Each documented at @dusty.build through the build, signed off at delivery, and on the road inside the originally-quoted window.
Dustin is the best! I accidentally messed up my car’s paint while trying to use touch-up paint, and it ended up looking terrible. I had no idea how to fix it until I found this shop. Dustin completely saved my car. He was very patient, easy to talk to, and took the time to explain everything. Not only was the turnaround fast, but the quality of his work was outstanding. I honestly didn’t expect the paint to come out looking this good. The repair looks flawless—I’d even say it looks better than the factory finish. I’m extremely happy with the results and the level of professionalism Dustin provided. I would definitely recommend him to all of my friends and anyone looking for high-quality paint repair work. Thank you, Dustin!
Team is very professional, friendly, and most importantly fast. Before work they made sure to confirm every miniscule detail of the project with me, and after I had left my car at the shop the team made sure that they return the car as soon as they can. After I have collected the car the team made sure that everything was up to my liking, and even checked in with me a couple months after.
Got my Carbon roof redone on my M6, Dustin and team did a good job. Definitely recommend for the great customer service.
