What People Say About Parr
Amazing customer service and excellent quality of work. Very helpful and accommodating and all around a great business to deal with. I will be returning here for any future work on my car, they really take pride in what they do and turned a terrible experience of a car crash into a positive experience!
Quinn Cappelletto
My car went into PARR on a Wednesday thinking they would be done on the Friday as I worked in Edmonton on Saturday. Once they opened up my car and saw all the damage they said they wouldn't be able to get it done until the next Tuesday as there was more damage than they thought. That wasn't going to work for me as I had to work and needed my car! They got it done by the original date on Friday and I was on my way! I was so pleased with their service and their understanding of how important it was in my life to have my car back on time. I definitely won't go anywhere else now!

"Unfortunately" I have had to use the body repair services at Parr a few times over the past few years. None of which were my fault of course.... but I continually go back to Parr as their customer service is spot-on. They keep you informed, prior to, during and upon completion. Your vehicle is returned cleaner than you left it and IF anything is found amiss with the repair it is corrected quickly without any hassle. Thank-you Tom, Chelsea and all the staff for making an unfortunate life occurrence (vehicle damage) into a pleasant experience!

Frequently Asked Questions
When will my car be ready?
The question we hear all day long? It is a totally valid question and concern from our customers. We all need wheels, we need to plan our busy lives and organize, carpool, hockey and dance schedules, road trips, etc.
The short answer? We don’t know. What we do know is this:
When your vehicle is dropped off for repairs this is what happens to it.
Incoming process, including a wash, inspection for unrelated damages with detailed photos
Disassembly and inspection. We do 100% disassembly and discovery. This is where further damage and/or parts are discovered. We build a repair plan to get you back on the road safely!
Body/Frame repairs. Our techs coordinate and once have all parts necessary, begin the repairs to your vehicle. The length of time in this part of the process varies depending on several things. Are we replacing large pieces of sheet metal? How many panels of the vehicle we’re repairing? Is there paintless dent repair involved? Is there glass to remove and replace?
Prep and Refinish. Once your vehicle is finished in the body department, it moves to prep and paint. We’ve already got your paint colour chosen and most often, the paint mixed. But there’s a few steps ahead of spraying on colour! We carefully prep your vehicle, then clean it, mask it and get it ready for our techs to spray the waterbase colour coat and then the clear coat.
Assembly. Where we re-build it together again. This depends on how much of the vehicle was apart during the repairs. We also may send your vehicle out for any suspension/mechanical repairs at this time, for example, a wheel alignment if required.
Outgoing Detail. We’re on the home stretch.
Quality Verification. We do QV checks throughout your repairs but before we call you, a final check over is done.
The keys cross the front desk, and we call you for pick up!
I want to know more! How can I get in touch?
Drop us a line using the form below or message us on Facebook. We would be pleased to answer your questions or queries.
Do you provide courtesy or rental cars?
Parr does not have courtesy vehicles that we own, but we have partnered with Enterprise to provide you with great rates and service for cars, trucks and SUV’s if your rental is not covered by insurance. We also can manage your SGI pay rental through Enterprise. Ask us about it and we” be pleased to help you through the process.
Did you know you can add “loss of use” to your package policy for a reasonable amount of money? Make sure and ask your insurance broker about it when you are renewing your package policy!
If you do not require a rental, we can certainly shuttle you where you need to go!
Do we do mechanical or suspension work?
Much as we’d love to, we’ve chosen to specialize in collision repair only. We sublet (send out) all of our mechanical work, including wheel alignments to a select shop(s) that we highly trust with both our own vehicles and our customers’ vehicles.
Will you do an estimate to paint my whole vehicle, or fix rust?
We have chosen to specialize in collision repair, hail repair, animal hits, vandalism, etc. in order to best fit our customer’s needs. By all means, we would be glad to take a peek and give you some advice on the best way to proceed with your vehicle’s concerns. We often refer certain jobs to other partners in our industry that can best fit your requirements. We always want you to spend your hard earned dollars wisely.
In rust repair, once it’s there, even fixed, it will never truly go away. Best way to get that rust to leave? Replace the entire panel! We would be happy to do an estimate to handle that for you.
What is Betterment and/or Depreciation?
Betterment, also known as depreciation is a charge some insurance companies pass onto their customers for wearable parts. For example, if your tire is damaged in a collision, you are entitled to a new tire to replace the damaged one but if your tire is partially worn out, the insurance company will only pay for the “new” portion of the tire and expects the owner to pay the difference. Betterment can be charged on tires, suspension, wearable parts, even previously damaged body panels that require fixing under the insurance claim.
What the heck is PDR?
PDR or Paintless Dent Repair is a unique way of repairing some hail damage or minor “soft” dents that have not cracked the paint. We have an in house expert that can perform wonders with PDR!
