Services
Collision Repair
Our collision repair service restores vehicles to factory specifications after accidents. Using computerized measuring systems and specialized alignment racks, we ensure precise structural repairs. Certified technicians employ PPG refinishing technology for seamless paint matching, guaranteeing vehicles look and perform like new post-repair.
Mechanical Work
Comprehensive mechanical diagnostics address engine, electrical, and drivetrain issues. Our ASE-certified technicians utilize advanced diagnostic tools to identify and resolve problems efficiently. Services include brake repairs, CV axle replacement, and computerized system testing to maintain optimal vehicle performance and safety standards.
Paintless Dent Repair
This cost-effective service removes minor dents without repainting. Technicians use specialized tools to gently reshape vehicle panels, preserving original factory paint. Ideal for hail damage or door dings, the process typically completes in hours rather than days while maintaining vehicle value.
Tire Repair
We offer complete tire solutions including puncture repairs, replacements, and maintenance. Our alignment and balancing services ensure even tire wear and improved fuel efficiency. Certified technicians inspect tread depth and pressure to maximize tire lifespan while maintaining vehicle safety and handling performance.
Auto Customizations
From performance enhancements to aesthetic modifications, our customization service transforms vehicles to owner specifications. We handle specialty paint jobs, body kit installations, and interior upgrades using quality materials. Each project receives personalized attention to create unique, road-ready vehicles that reflect owner style.

The team was very informative and communicative with me while my bumper was being repaired from a rear-end collision. They updated me at every step and I felt very secure at knowing my car was in their hands. My car is now fully restored to its natural glory and I'm thoroughly impressed at the job done by the Ernie Pattie team. Would definitely recommend them to anyone if in need of an auto repair!

Unmatched professionalism, reliability and service. I came in with some spots that needed some buffing/paint work. They assessed the damage, made me a SUPER reasonable deal, and got to work! It was clear that they valued my time and money. I could not have chosen a better place to get serviced. Also, shout out to Steven for his workmanship and help!

Ernie Patti is exceptional with the work that they do. They have made repairs to my vehicle twice due to automobile accidents. I will only ever use their services if I ever need them again. The work quality and professionalism cannot be beat.

I took my car to Ernie Patti to have the front end repaired after someone hit me in a wreck. They are outstanding in every way. They communicated throughout the entire process, including when there were delays. They examined the process and worked to make it smooth and easy. The work was excellent. And they did a full detailed cleaning of the inside and outside of the car as a courtesy! I highly recommend them for any body work you need done.
