The Smith family has been closely associated with Kansas City's automotive industry for over 50 years, not only as a new and used car dealer, but also as the operators of a highly reputable service department and body shop. Now, with over half a century of experience to draw upon, the Smiths have designed, built, equipped and staffed one of the region's most advanced facilities for collision repair.

The ultimate goal of the Dick Smith Collision Repair Center is to restore your vehicle as closely as possible to its condition prior to being damaged.

Every area of the Center is staffed with highly trained and experienced specialists who have at their command the newest and finest high-tech equipment available. By combining old-fashioned craftsmanship with state-of-the-art technology we are able to repair your vehicle quickly and return it promptly while providing the standard of excellence that has become a tradition throughout three generations of the Smith family.

The paint division required 18 months to design, build and install. Computerized paint color mixing combined with a down draft infrared drying system produces a finish that is the closest thing yet to original factory quality. The paint is cured from the metal out and the entire curing process takes less than one hour, versus outdated methods that require up to 90 days with no measurable increase in quality. That means your vehicle is returned more quickly and you can immediately drive through mud, rain or snow without damaging the beautiful new finish.

The Genesis 11 computer-driven, laser guided frame alignment system is the most advanced measuring device available. In addition to showing the extent of frame damage, Genesis is designed to monitor progress throughout the repair process and verify that upon completion of the work the vehicle is properly aligned. The Genesis system integrates the precision of laser scanning with a computerized data base for unmatched accuracy. The system has the power to repair everything from small unitized body vehicles to large full-frame units, such as trucks, vans and even the biggest sport utility vehicles.

A computerized estimating and parts selection system assures the accuracy of our estimate and prevents delays by confirming that all necessary parts are ordered in advance. We use ADP Shoplink,. and CCC Pathways, the two most reliable estimating systems available. Both are capable of streamlining the estimating process and providing the parts information necessary to restore your vehicle to its original factory specifications.
