Collision Repair and refinishing

Choosing the correct shop to repair your vehicle after a collision is the most important decision you will make during the repair process. Body shops are not licensed in the state of Pennsylvania and anyone can own and operate an auto body shop. We always recommend asking trusted friends and neighbors where they had their vehicle fixed.

North Star Automotive repairs vehicles for the vehicle owner. We take the same about of pride and care in repairing your vehicle just as you would if you had the equipment, knowledge, and skill to repair the vehicle yourself. We review all insurance estimates to ensure the integrity of your repairs, and we work with all insurance companies. We repair all makes and models and all repairs completed as per manufacturer specifications are warranted.

COMPUTERIZED FOUR WHEEL ALIGNMENTS

Did you know the majority of vehicles on the road today are out of alignment? Simply hitting a pot-hole can alter your vehicles alignment, and in PA we have plenty of potholes. The benefits of a properly aligned vehicle are longer tire life and a vehicle that drives in a straight line rather then "drifting" across the road. North Star Automotive can align your vehicle to the exact threshold designated by your vehicles manufacturer. We utilize computer equipment and software to measure and record your vehicle's suspension alignment. This also allows us to provide you with documentation of your vehicles measurements before and after the alignment.

Our drivers are courteous, professional, and will take care in loading, securing, and unloading your vehicle. Remember that any vehicle that has been involved in a collision, major or minor, should not be driven if you feel unsafe driving it or you suspect that driving the vehicle will cause additional damage to. Follow your intuition and have the vehicle towed. Any additional expenses you may incur due to negligently operating the vehicle will cost far more then a tow.
