Certified Ford Body Shop in Hickory

K&M Collision is proud to be Ford Factory Certified as well as have ASE and I-CAR Gold Class Certifications. Our technicians have been trained to work with the necessary tools and equipment to perform a proper repair according to the Ford manufacturer guidelines. Systems such as our Car-O-Liner BenchRack 5500 frame machine and the X3 measuring system are used to ensure your vehicle is structurally sound and within the manufacturer specifications.

K&M offers the highest quality collision repair paint services in automotive refinishing. Using a high tech camera, our certified paint technicians are able to find an exact color match to your vehicle with a computerized mixing and measuring system. Working in a climate controlled environment with state of the art technology like our Accudraft Titan, a spray booth with a 1.5 billion BTU heater, our technicians achieve a smooth and accurate finish making your Ford look like new again.

Ford spends millions of dollars to ensure your vehicle is not only safe, but looks sleek and stylish. To repair your Ford so it looks like new again, K&M only uses Ford OEM parts. Only genuine OEM parts are guaranteed to fit your vehicle according to the manufacturer specifications with no gaps or imperfections. Body shops in the DRP sacrifice quality repair work at the insurance company’s request to save money by using junk or aftermarket parts, but only OEM parts were made according to the same factory standards as the original parts on your Ford.

We want to make the time after an accident as stress free as we can for all our customers, that’s why K&M Collision works with all insurance companies. However, if the insurance company recommends the use of junk or aftermarket parts, we are not contractually obligated to agree with them. Insurance companies that are known for “steering” their policy holders to shops in their Direct Repair Program (DRP) will send those shops referrals and in exchange those shops use junk or discounted parts to save the insurance company money. K&M never uses junk or discounted parts to save the insurance company money. Our only priority is providing you with high quality Ford Certified repair work.
