A few of our most common auto body shop services include but are not limited to:
Studies show that about 50 percent of vehicles suffer some kind of frame damage in a car collision. Frame damage can occur easily, even in common situations involving minor fender benders. Often, frame damage is difficult to see and can go unnoticed by insurance adjusters. The unfortunate truth is that even minor frame damage can put you, your family, your friends, and your car at risk when driving. When it goes unnoticed, it can often spell disaster for everyday drivers who might think their car is fine to drive.
When your car's frame is bent, your alignment is usually off, too, causing you to swerve and veer while driving. At best, this scenario results in unnecessary wear on your tires and, at worst, results in a car wreck. The bottom line? You need to get your car's frame inspected by a team of professional collision repair experts, even if you've only been involved in a minor accident.
At Lowcountry Paint Body & Restoration, we take a comprehensive approach to frame repair and alignment. Our highly-trained frame repair technicians use a multi-point process to diagnose and correct your frame problems by:
Chips and cracks are bad news for your car's windshield and don't just look bad - they can do serious damage when left unrepaired. Cracks and chips can quickly turn from a minor inconvenience to a safety hazard by impairing your vision. If your windshield crack is bad enough, you might even get pulled over by a police officer. Driving your vehicle with a large crack or even with an object embedded in it is a bad idea, but Lowcountry Paint Body & Restoration is here to help.
Our windshield repair technicians have years of experience repairing car windows and windshields for many types of automobile glass, including side and rear windows. If you have been involved in a collision and need new glass, we can help facilitate that process and install a new windshield without you ever lifting a finger. New glass is usually needed with serious car wrecks, and it's always best to trust a professional auto body shop in cityname, state to get the job done. Our team uses the most modern glass and adhesives on the market, so you know your windshield and windows are high-quality and ready for the road.
Whether you have a chipped windshield or need all-new glass for your car, we're here to serve you.
Out car windshield and glass repairs include:
Any kind of item or stray piece of debris can dent your car. If you've been driving for at least a few years, chances are you've parked at a grocery store and, after shopping, returned to your car to see a big, unsightly dent. Whether they're due to inclement weather or rocks on the highway, dents cause noticeable damage that only gets worse with time. One of the most common dent repair solutions is paintless dent removal - a process that removes dents in your vehicle without removing any paint.
Paintless dent removal is great because it is not invasive and is a very efficient, cost-effective way to fix car dents before they get even worse. There are no fillers or sanding involved, making this option one of the quickest ways to remove dents. At Lowcountry Paint Body & Restoration, our dent removal technicians use several tools to gently massage dents out of your car. When we're done, we'll smooth everything back into place, leaving your car looking like new.
To make matters even better, most paintless dent removal is supported by car insurance agencies, meaning you may not pay a cent out of pocket for our dent removal services.

SUMMERVILLE — The streaks are still alive.
Winning for the eighth straight time in the series, Cane Bay fought back from an eight-point deficit in the second half to clip rival Stratford, 22-17, Oct. 7 on the Cobras’ homecoming. The win was also the fourth straight this season for the Cobras (5-1, 2-0 Region 6-AAAAA).
“It’s usually a fight to the end and that’s what this was,” Cane Bay coach Russell Zehr said. “They have a heck of a ball club. They did some things we weren’t ready for, but hats off to our kids and coaches for the adjustments. We got lucky and made a few plays at the end to win.”
One of the wrinkles Cane Bay had to deal with was Stratford’s regular quarterback, Jalen Barry, moving out to wide receiver. Jachin Davis, a young kid with a strong arm, saw all but one possession at quarterback for the Knights.
Davis’s second touchdown pass of the game, a 33-yarder to Barry, gave Stratford 17-9 lead with 7:54 remaining in the third quarter.
Cane Bay responded with a 70-yard scoring drive in just over four minutes. Cobras running back TJ Wright exploded through the right side on a 13-yard touchdown burst.
Stratford stuffed the 2-point conversion, though, and the Cobras had more work to do to keep their winning streaks intact.
Stratford moved inside Cane Bay’s 35 on its ensuing drive and quick-kicked on fourth and long to the Cane Bay 5 with under 11 minutes left in the game.
On third down, Cane Bay running back Bryson Johnson ripped through a hole up the middle and raced home for 89 yards and the go-ahead score. Lawson Thorn’s extra point made it 22-17 with 9:29 remaining.
Cane Bay’s defense picked off two passes on the way in, including the clincher on a fourth-and-short at Stratford’s 31 by Keaton Cooley to seal it. Defensive back Miles Singleton picked off the first one at midfield with under seven minutes left.
Stratford dropped to 1-5 overall and 0-1 in the region.
Each team made field goals on their first possessions, with Stratford’s Matt Haas making a 42-yard goal and Thorn answering on the other end with a 30-yarder in the first quarter.
Cane Bay defensive back Jordan Horlback snagged an interception and returned it 10 yards to make it 9-3 with 3:30 before halftime.
Davis responded by finding tight end Brett Marrs behind the defense along the sideline for an 80-yard touchdown just over a minute later. Haas’s extra point sent Stratford into the locker room with a 10-9 lead.
The Cobras travel to Goose Creek Oct. 14 while the Knights host Wando.

Chapin topped Summerville and Cane Bay to win the 2022 Cane Bay Duals wrestling tournament Dec. 10.
This year, 10 teams participated in the tournament hosted annually by Cane Bay High School. The Cobras were undefeated entering the championship game against Chapin, but had to settle for runner-up honors after falling to the Eagles 54-21.
Cane Bay advanced to the title match with wins over Hanahan (48-28), Conway (66-18), Timberland (69-9) and May River (47-22).
“We were fairly consistent in the tournament up until the last match,” Cane Bay coach Aaron Hynick said. “We came out with a job to do and for the most part our guys did it. At 120, J.J. Peace wrestles hard every match and gets us good wins. Our heavier guys are becoming kind of our go-to group which is nice to see. Considering how early it is in the season I’ve seen a lot of good things from our team.”
The Cobras already had wins over R.B. Stall and James Island so they entered this week with a 6-1 record. Cane Bay wrestles at Summerville Dec. 13 and hosts Fort Dorchester Dec. 15. The Cobras will also participate in the Hawk Invitational on Dec. 17 at Hanahan and the May River Invitational on Dec. 29 in Bluffton.
“We have a lot to do practice wise and need to get better because the season is only going to get harder but I think we will get stronger,” Hynick said. “We know we need to get in better shape and do all the little things better but we still have time to work on things.”
Summerville also suffered its first duals loss of the season Saturday, falling 39-34 to Chapin in the tournament semi-finals.
“You have to tip your hat to Chapin,” Summerville coach Darryl Tucker said. “They came after us and I don’t think our guys responded very well. We have to do a better job of coaching these guys up and it didn’t help that we are missing a few guys right now.”
Prior to the Chapin match, Summerville defeated Wando (69-9), Philip Simmons (65-12) and James Island (81-0). In the third-place match for the tournament, the Green Wave defeated May River 51-24. Summerville already had wins over Hilton Head, Hanahan and Battery Creek so it entered this week with a 7-1 record.
“It’s early in the season but guys like Caleb Herring, Xavier Anderson and Preston Smith are really piling up some wins for us,” Tucker said.
Southern Slam Results
Both Cane Bay and Summerville made some noise during the Southern Slam tournament at Eastside earlier this season. Peace won the 120-pound weight class. Herring placed fifth at 126. Anderson placed eighth at 113 and Kayleb Pinckney placed eighth at 132.
Fort Dorchester’s Ricky Springs placed sixth at 113 during the Southern Slam tournament.
