Leave A ReviewFamily-owned since 1926 · serving Gibsonton
If you want an auto body shop in Gibsonton drivers have trusted for generations, the closest family name is a short run up US 41. Dixie Paint & Body Shop has been family-owned since 1926, fixing collision damage, dents, bumpers, scratches and faded paint on everything from sedans to hard-working pickups.
Gibtown folks know a thing or two about keeping old rigs running. We respect that.
From Gibsonton to our door
Take US 41 north or hop on I-75 at Big Bend Road, then I-4 west to Ybor City and north to 15th Street.
Gibsonton has been winter quarters for carnival and circus showfolk for close to a century, and plenty of the trucks parked along the side streets have pulled rides across a dozen states. Those miles show up as dented doors, rusted cab corners and paint that has given up.
We work on all makes and models, and we will tell you straight whether a panel is worth saving.
US 41 through Gibsonton carries heavy trucks heading to the port, the phosphate operations and the power plant at Big Bend. Sudden stops and wide right turns leave cars with crushed rear ends and side swipes.
We check the structure behind the damage and rebuild from there through our collision repair process. Neighbors to the north can see our collision repair for Riverview drivers too.
Big Bend Road at I-75 backs up most afternoons, and drivers jumping lanes to make the ramp cause plenty of low-speed hits. Cracked bumper covers, pushed-in grilles and bent hood latches.
Most of these are quick repairs once we see them, and a good auto body shop in Gibsonton commuters can count on should say so plainly. We give you a written estimate and a finish date.
The low streets near Bullfrog Creek hold water after a summer storm, and driving through it day after day soaks the rocker panels and lower doors. Add salt air off the bay and the rust starts from the bottom up.
We cut out the rust, treat the metal and refinish the panel, so you are not just painting over trouble.
Trucks that sit in open yards all day lose their clear coat fast. Roofs and hoods go chalky, then peel.
We refinish single panels or repaint the whole vehicle in our booth. Take a look at our auto painting services to see what a full repaint involves.
Lots of Gibsonton vehicles tow something. When a rear bumper takes a hit, the hitch and wiring can shift with it. We repair or replace the bumper and check that the hitch sits straight and the trailer lights still work.
Smaller scrapes and paint chips fall under our Apollo Beach paint and body damage repair page, which covers the same work for the South Shore.
You get a written estimate before work begins, every part and labor item listed. If another auto body shop in Gibsonton or Riverview quoted you first, bring the paper in. Our overhead is low and we will try to beat it.
Estimates are by appointment, or you can stop by the shop.
We work with every insurance company and handle the photos, forms and adjuster calls, and the choice of shop always stays with you.
We keep you updated so you are not left wondering when the car will be ready.
The Traina family has run Dixie for three generations. Angelo Traina Jr. inspects every finished car himself, and our ASE certified technicians do the work. That is a different experience from the first auto body shop near me a search engine hands you.
For general body work, our Riverview auto body repair page covers the area just north of you. We would be glad to be the auto body shop in Gibsonton families pass along to each other.
Gibsonton sits between a lot of fast-growing towns. Farther south, there is our page for Ruskin body shop customers, and to the southeast, one for auto body repair in Sun City Center. If you searched collision repair near me from anywhere on this stretch of US 41, our Tampa shop is an easy drive.
