Stan's Auto Body

Clear coat is the outermost layer of your vehicle's paint system, and it's doing more work than most people realize. It's a transparent protective layer applied over the color coat that shields the paint from UV rays, moisture, dirt, and minor abrasions. Without it, your color coat would oxidize and fade much faster.

When a vehicle comes in for collision repair or a paint job, matching and blending the clear coat is just as important as matching the color. A repair that doesn't account for the clear coat properly can look fine at first but start to show inconsistencies over time. Getting it right means your vehicle leaves the shop looking like nothing ever happened.

June is Automotive Service Professionals Month, and we want to take a moment to appreciate the technicians, estimators, and shop teams who show up every day to get people back on the road safely. It takes real skill, attention to detail, and a commitment to doing things right. Proud to have that team here at Stan's since 1971.

When it comes to collision repair, the shop you choose should be working for you, not just for your insurance company. A good shop will work with your insurance carrier while also advocating for what your vehicle actually needs according to the manufacturer’s repair guidelines, not just what the insurance is willing to cover.

Those two things aren’t always the same. Manufacturer guidelines exist to make sure your vehicle is restored to the safety standards it was built to. A shop that follows OE repair procedures can walk you through each item on an estimate, explain what it covers, and tell you exactly why each operation is necessary. If something the manufacturer requires isn’t covered, a reputable shop will be upfront about that too.

At Stan’s, we work with all insurance carriers and we follow OE repair guidelines on every job. You deserve to understand what’s being done to your vehicle and why. Request a free estimate through our website and we’ll walk you through the whole process.
