INSURANCE ESTIMATES
In the state of Maryland, by law, the vehicle owner has the right to choose ANY repair facility for the appraisal and repair of their vehicle. An insurer, adjuster or appraiser may not recommend a specific repair facility without informing the vehicle owner he/she does not have to follow that recommendation, nor can they intimidate, coerce or threaten an owner to use a specific facility. In many cases insurance companies will try to STEER you to one of their Direct Repair Providers (DRP shops). These shops have negotiated lower pricing with and for the insurance companies. However, the lower price does not get passed on to you. Instead, often times what the consumer gets is lower quality repairs and short-cuts from the DRP shop trying to make up for the discount.
Our experienced technicians will give you a fair written estimate that is designed to preserve your vehicle’s value and warranty. We work with all insurance companies and will advocate on your behalf to ensure that your vehicle is repaired to quality standard.
LEASE RETURN
Are you near the end of lease term on your vehicle? If so, before you turn in your vehicle, let Wade’s Auto Service do a comprehensive body check for damage that you will be responsible for when you turn in your car. Our technician will give you a full written estimate for any repairs needed. Typically, leasing companies will charge you a lot more for the same work.
COLLISION REPAIR
Has your car been in an accident? No worries, call Wades to schedule an appointment for your free estimate. With over 30 years of experience in the repair industry and using the latest technology and equipment our technicians will restore your vehicle to pre-accident condition. We also specialize in fiberglass repairs.
UNIBODY & FRAME STRAIGHTENING
Our Chief frame machine is used to analyze and repair the structure of your vehicle. This assures an accurate repair. The unitized body is now returned back to the factory’s specifications.
PAINT & RESTORATION
Expert preparation is a critical step in the refinishing process of every vehicle. All panels are prepared for refinishing, then primed and sealed to assure good adhesion when the final top color and clear coats of refinish are applied. At Wades, we use the highest quality paints and materials to guarantee a perfect finish that will last a lifetime. Our technician is experienced in blending, fading, two-tone, candy, pearl, chameleon and other specialized paints and finishes.
ALIGNMENTS
We offer a complementary four wheel alignment check with every service. Alignments are important to prevent uneven tire wear which increases the life span of your tires thereby saving you money. We will also check your tire pressure to ensure maximum fuel economy and all front end parts including disc brakes. We use the V3D X-CEL imaging alignment system which leverages patented imaging technology to provide accurate, real-time measurements.
BRAKES
Do you hear and noise when you step on your brakes? Squeaks, squeals, rumbles or grinding? If so, you may need new brakes. Brakes are important to the safe operation of your vehicle. If you replace your brake pads as soon as needed you will prevent the wear and expense of replacing/turning your rotors. Our ASE certified technician will make sure that your brakes are in proper working order.
SHOCKS & STRUTS
Shocks and struts are a part of the front end suspension of your vehicle. They help to minimize the roughness of the road while you are driving. You should replace worn shocks and struts for a smooth ride and save on excessive wear on your tires. Our trained technician can evaluate the suspension system on your vehicle and recommend any repairs that may be needed.
