Just had an accident?

Start here — before you call the insurer.

You are allowed to choose your own repair shop, whatever the carrier suggests. Call us first and we will tell you what the claim should cover.

  1. Step 01 Is it drivable?

    If the wheels, lights or fluids are affected, do not drive it. Call us and we will advise on towing before anything moves.

  2. Step 02 Photograph everything

    Wide shots of each damaged side, then close-ups. Send them over and most estimates can start without a shop visit.

  3. Step 03 Let us handle the claim

    Give us the carrier and claim number. We deal with the adjuster, supplements and parts authorisation from there.

Why choose us

Why Bedford drivers choose Invisible Touch

Four things that decide how a repair turns out — and how we handle each one.

01

Insurance coordination

We deal with all major carriers and run the claim from estimate to completion — adjuster calls, supplement documentation, parts authorisation. You do not handle the paperwork.

Claim filed same day
02

Factory finish preserved

Paint is mixed to your vehicle's own colour code and blended into adjacent panels. Coating and film work is done in controlled conditions so nothing contaminates the cure.

OEM colour match
03

Luxury makes, routinely

Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Porsche are regular work here — factory-specification procedures, OEM-grade parts and colour matching past what aftermarket shops attempt.

European specialists
04

Backed after you leave

Workmanship is warranted for as long as you own the vehicle. If something we did is not right, bring it back and we make it right.

Lifetime workmanship

How it works

From first call to keys back

Four steps. You will know the timeline before any work starts.

  1. 1

    Day 1

    Free estimate

    Bring the vehicle in or send photos from your phone. We assess the damage and put the scope and the number in writing before anything is committed.

    You bring photos or the car, plus insurance details if a claim is involved.

  2. 2

    Day 1–3

    Insurance & approval

    We speak to your adjuster, document the damage the way the carrier expects, file supplements for hidden damage and get parts authorised.

    You do nothing but approve the scope if it changes.

  3. 3

    Day 3–8

    Repair & refinish

    Frame and panel work measured back to factory tolerance, then paint mixed to your vehicle's own formula and blended into the surrounding panels.

    You can track the stage on this page, or ask for photos mid-repair.

  4. 4

    Final day

    Quality check & keys

    Gaps, colour and finish inspected under colour-corrected light, the car cleaned, and a walkthrough of exactly what was done before you drive away.

    You leave with a written record and the lifetime workmanship warranty.

Our guarantee

What does an auto body shop do?
An auto body shop repairs the exterior structure and finish of a vehicle after collision damage, weather events or cosmetic wear. That covers:
  • Collision repair and frame straightening
  • Dent removal and panel replacement
  • Auto painting and refinishing
  • Protective coatings — ceramic coating and paint protection film
What damage can be repaired without repainting?
Paintless dent repair (PDR) restores dents, door dings and hail damage without sanding, filling or repainting — as long as the paint surface is intact. It preserves the factory finish entirely and is the preferred method for hail, parking-lot dents and minor collision dings. Scratches that have broken through the paint layer need paint repair and cannot be fixed with PDR alone.
Does Invisible Touch work with insurance companies?
Yes. We work directly with all major insurance carriers on collision and accident damage claims, and manage the estimate, adjuster communication, supplement documentation and parts authorisation on your behalf. You do not need to manage the insurance process yourself.
How long does auto body repair take?
It depends on the service and the severity. Paintless dent repair for minor dents takes 1–3 hours. Ceramic coating takes 1–2 days including cure time. Collision repair involving structural damage and repainting typically takes 5–10 business days depending on parts availability and insurance approval. You get a timeline estimate at the initial assessment.
What is ceramic coating and how long does it last?
Ceramic coating is a liquid polymer that chemically bonds to the factory clear coat, forming a hard protective layer with hydrophobic properties, UV resistance and added gloss. Our 9H-rated coatings last 2–5 years depending on the product grade and maintenance routine. Graphene options are available for extended durability.
Do you repair luxury vehicles like BMW, Audi and Mercedes?
Yes. We regularly service European luxury vehicles including Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Porsche. These makes require OEM or OEM-equivalent parts, manufacturer-specification colour matching, and repair procedures calibrated to the vehicle's structural tolerances. The Bedford shop serves the Lexington, Concord and Lincoln corridor.
How much does auto body repair cost?
Costs vary by service. Paintless dent repair runs $75–$200 per panel depending on dent size and access. Ceramic coating ranges from $500–$1,500 depending on vehicle size and coating grade. Paint protection film full-front packages run $900–$1,800. Collision repair depends on severity and is typically covered in full or in part by insurance. Call (781) 271-9110 for a free estimate.
Where are you located and when are you open?
5 Y D Rd, Bedford, MA 01730. Monday to Friday 8am–6pm. Weekends by appointment only.
