The Number One Auto Repair & Collision Shop in Arlington/Pantego & Mansfield, TX — Free Diagnostics & 36 Month / 36,000 Mile Warranty

Yes. Platinum Express Auto Repair & Collision is a full-service collision center as well as a mechanical repair shop. We handle bumper and panel repair and replacement, dent and fender work, frame and structural straightening, suspension damage after an impact, glass and windshield replacement, and factory-match refinishing and paint blending — all at 2113 W Arkansas Ln in Arlington/Pantego, TX.

Yes. Collision estimates and diagnostics are free, with no obligation. We walk the vehicle with you, show you the damage, and give you a written estimate before anything is approved. Call (817) 677-9244 or send your year, make, model and photos through the quote form.

Yes. We work with all insurance carriers and can write the estimate, submit supplements, and communicate with your adjuster directly so you are not stuck in the middle. You choose the shop — Texas law does not let an insurer force you into their preferred facility.

It depends on your deductible and the repair cost. We give you the free estimate first so you can compare the repair total with your deductible, then decide. For small bumper scuffs, dents and single-panel paint work, paying out of pocket is often cheaper than a claim and keeps the claim off your record.

A bumper cover or single panel with paint is usually 2 to 4 days. Multi-panel damage runs about 5 to 10 days. Frame or structural repair, or a job waiting on a supplement or a back-ordered part, can run 2 to 3 weeks. We give you a target date up front and tell you as soon as anything changes.

Yes. We mix to your vehicle's factory paint code, spray-out test cards to verify the match against your actual finish, and blend into the adjacent panels so there is no hard edge. Metallics, pearls and tri-coats are matched the same way.

Ballpark ranges: bumper repair and repaint $400-$900; bumper replacement with paint $700-$1,600; a dented door or fender repaired and blended $600-$1,400; panel replacement with paint $900-$2,500; frame or structural straightening $1,200-$4,000+. The real number depends on the vehicle, the paint type and what is found once panels come off — we confirm the exact price with you before any work starts.

Yes. Small dents with the paint intact are often fixed with paintless dent repair, which keeps your factory finish and costs far less than a repaint. Where the paint is cracked or creased, we do conventional body repair and refinish the panel.

Not always. Airbag deployment, coolant or fluid leaks, a pulling steering wheel, a rubbing tire, a hood that will not latch, or broken lights all mean it should not be driven. We are open 24 hours — call (817) 677-9244 and we will tell you whether to drive it in or have it towed.

Yes, and that is the advantage of a combined repair and collision shop. Impacts commonly bend control arms, damage radiators and condensers, knock out alignment, and crack A/C lines. We repair the body and the mechanical side under one roof, then road test and align the vehicle before it goes back to you.

Yes. Qualifying repairs carry our 36-month / 36,000-mile warranty on parts and labor, and we stand behind our refinish work. Bring it back if anything is not right.

Yes. We can arrange towing to the shop any hour of the day, and we repair or replace windshields, side and rear glass, sunroof glass, side mirrors and power window regulators.
