The shop is on West Minnesota Avenue, so Chickasha is the drop-off town. Bring it by, tell us what is bothering you about it, and pick it up done.
Red dirt is the first thing anyone notices here, and it is not ordinary dirt. Central Oklahoma sits on Permian red beds, and the color comes from fine hematite, iron oxide, running all through the clay. That is why it behaves like a dye instead of a dust. It works into light carpet and porous trim and stays there after a vacuum, which is exactly what hot water extraction is for.
Then there is the hail. Oklahoma ranks third in the country for how often vehicles have hail claims filed on them, and the state averages around 297 hail events a year. Locally the numbers are just as blunt: trained spotters have logged 51 on-the-ground hail reports at Chickasha, and radar has picked up hail at or near town on 148 separate occasions. Plenty of vehicles here have been through a claim, and after the body work there is almost always decontamination and polishing left to do.
Winter adds a layer you cannot see. ODOT pre-treats the highways with salt brine ahead of a storm and works the bridges and overpasses first, and one recent statewide response used 44,000 tons of salt and sand along with more than 507,000 gallons of brine. On US-81 and the H.E. Bailey Turnpike that ends up on your rockers and undercarriage.
Cedar pollen runs heaviest from December through February, with the season stretching from November into April. Eastern redcedar is everywhere in central and western Oklahoma, and mountain cedar pollen rides up from Texas on a south wind, so anything parked outside picks up a film that a quick rinse smears around rather than removes.
June brings harvest. Grady County puts up close to 35,000 acres of wheat, and the chaff and fine dust that comes off it goes straight into cabin air intakes and settles in the vents.
Then there is the Festival of Light. Every holiday season Shannon Springs Park lights up with more than three and a half million bulbs and pulls over 250,000 visitors into a town of 17,500. It is the one stretch of the year when a local vehicle is a first impression for a quarter of a million out-of-towners, and it is the busiest window on our calendar. Book ahead of it, not during it.

Our work
Our workChickasha is our shop town. We are at 309 W Minnesota Ave Unit B, so most Chickasha work is drop-off, which is also what lets us take the jobs that have to sit indoors like ceramic coating. If getting it to us is the problem, ask and we will work something out.
Usually yes. Body work fixes the dents. It does not deal with what the storm drove into the paint, the debris left in the cowl and door seals, or the polishing the repaired panels need to match the rest of the vehicle. That is the part we pick up.
Most of it, most of the time. Red Oklahoma clay is iron oxide and it acts like a stain rather than a dust, so it needs hot water extraction, not a vacuum. We will tell you honestly what is going to lift and what has set for good before we start, not after.
