Lite Body Repair in Burlington, NC
Dents, chip dings, and scratches don't need a full body shop wait. Cars & Truckware has handled lite body repair in Burlington since 1991, with free estimates and fast turnaround.
Minor Auto Body Repair That Skips the Body Shop Hassle
A parking lot dent, a rock chip in the paint, or a scuffed bumper doesn't have to send you to a traditional body shop for a full repaint and a huge bill. Our lite body repair services are built for exactly this kind of damage: real fixes, done fast, at a fraction of the cost and time a full body shop job takes.
Most of what walks through our door on Mebane Street falls into a few common categories:
- Dent removal from shopping carts, hail, or minor fender benders
- Chipped paint repair and touch-up on hoods, mirrors, and door edges
- Scratch removal from keys, branches, or careless parking lots
- Hail damage repair after a Piedmont storm rolls through
- Paint blending and matching so repairs disappear into the factory finish
- Insurance claim support when the damage is covered
If it's cosmetic and it's bothering you every time you look at your car, there's a good chance we can fix it without sending you anywhere else. And if the same visit turns up a cracked windshield, our team also handles auto glass repair right down the street from the body work.

Been using these guys for over 20 years they have did everything from light body work to putting on step rails and bed covers. I have always been 100% satisfied with their work. I've read some of the negative reviews here and they would not have done damage to a car and not fixed it Barry is a honest and straight forward person.

Common questions
Lite Body Repair Questions From Burlington Drivers
Here's what we get asked most often at the shop, whether it's a first-time walk-in or a longtime customer with a new dent.
What counts as lite body repair versus a full body shop job?
Lite body repair covers cosmetic damage like dents, dings, chipped paint, small scratches, and minor collision marks that don't involve structural or frame damage. If your car is safe to drive and the damage is surface-level, it almost always fits our lite body repair approach and skips the weeks-long body shop process.
Can you fix chipped paint or small scratches without repainting the whole panel?
In most cases, yes. Our paint touch-up work matches your factory color and blends the repair into the surrounding panel, so we're not repainting an entire door or hood for a small chip or scratch. It's faster and far less expensive than a full panel respray.
Do you handle hail damage repair through insurance?
Yes. Hail damage repair is one of the most common insurance claim jobs we see, especially after a Piedmont storm season. We can provide a free estimate, document the damage, and work directly with your insurance company through the claim process.
How is lite body repair different from windshield chip repair?
Windshield chip repair addresses damage to the glass itself, while lite body repair covers the painted metal and trim around it, things like dents, scratches, and chipped paint on the body panels. We handle both, and if a rock chip and a door dent happen at the same time, we can take care of everything in one visit.
