Why Corvette Owners Need a Certified Body Shop for Repairs

Not Every Body Shop is Equipped to Repair a Corvette – Car Craft Is

Your Corvette isn’t just another car—it’s a high-performance machine built with precision engineering. Whether you own a C5, C6, C7, C8, or a Stingray, your Corvette was designed for speed, aerodynamics, and structural integrity. That means it requires specialized expertise when repairs are needed.

At Car Craft Auto Body, we are one of the few certified Corvette repair shops in St. Louis. Our team understands the fiberglass, carbon fiber, and aluminum construction that makes Corvettes unique. Choosing a non-certified body shop could mean improper repairs, decreased resale value, or even compromised performance.

What Makes a Certified Corvette Body Shop Different?

1. Corvette-Specific Training & Certification

General body shops repair various make and models, but Corvettes require specialized repair techniques. At Car Craft, our technicians undergo factory training to master the complexities of Corvette bodywork, including:

  • Aluminum chassis repairs (C7 & C8 models)
  • Fiberglass & carbon fiber panel restoration
  • Precision structural realignment
  • Corvette-specific paint and refinishing techniques

2. GM-Approved Repair Techniques

Modern Corvettes use advanced lightweight materials, which require manufacturer-approved tools and procedures. Our shop follows General Motors’ (GM) repair guidelines to ensure that every repair meets factory standards.

  • OEM-approved welding & bonding techniques
  • Corvette-specific frame realignment
  • Advanced paint matching technology

3. Genuine Corvette Parts for a Factory Finish

Using aftermarket or generic parts on a Corvette can affect performance, safety, and even warranty coverage. As a certified body shop, we use only Genuine GM parts, ensuring:

  • Perfect fit & function
  • Preserved aerodynamics & performance
  • OEM-approved safety standards

4. Precision Paint Matching for Showroom-Quality Results

A Corvette’s iconic paint job isn’t something you want to leave to chance. Our PPG Envirobase® paint system ensures that your car’s finish is perfectly matched and blended for a seamless repair.

5. Protecting Your Corvette’s Resale Value

A poorly repaired Corvette can significantly drop in value. Corvette collectors and enthusiasts know to check for:

  • Mismatched panels or paint
  • Signs of improper welding or bonding
  • Frame damage that wasn’t corrected properly

By choosing Car Craft Auto Body, you ensure your Corvette maintains its original condition, performance, and market value.
