Leave A ReviewFamily-owned since 1926 · serving Riverview
Riverview keeps growing, and so does the traffic on Big Bend Road. If you need an auto body shop in Riverview drivers have trusted for generations, Dixie Paint & Body Shop is a family business that has been repairing Tampa Bay cars since 1926. Dents, bumpers, scratches, paint and full collision work.
We are north on I-75, then a few minutes across town. Easy trip for a repair you only want to do once.
From Riverview to our door
Take I-75 north to the Selmon Expressway or I-4, then head toward Ybor City and up 15th Street.
Anyone who has sat in the eastbound line at Big Bend and I-75 at 5:30 knows how fender benders happen out here. Short stops, someone glancing at a phone, a crunch. Usually it is a rear bumper, a tail lamp and maybe a liftgate that no longer lines up.
We take those apart, check the hidden brackets and absorbers, and put it back the way the factory did. Most of that work runs through our accident repair process.
Every new phase of homes off Boyette and US 301 brings dump trucks, and dump trucks shed gravel. Riverview hoods and front bumpers come in peppered with chips that start to rust at the edges if you leave them.
Light chipping can be touched up. Heavier damage gets the panel sanded, primed and refinished in the booth. Our paint refinishing work covers both.
Tight two-car garages and a third car parked in the driveway. Scraped bumper corners are a Riverview rite of passage. They look worse than they are, and most can be repaired and repainted without buying a new cover.
For paint scuffs and gouges that never cracked the plastic, see our paint and body damage repair in Riverview.
Higher-speed hits on US 301 near the Alafia River bridge or on I-75 are a different job. Airbags, frame rails, suspension parts. Our ASE certified technicians measure the structure before anything else so the car tracks straight afterward.
We have written up how that structural work goes on our Riverview collision repair page.
Pearl whites and metallic grays are everywhere in Riverview parking lots, and they are the hardest colors to match. We spray test cards, compare them to the car in daylight and blend into the panels next door so there is no visible line.
If you have been looking for an auto paint shop near me that will actually take the time to match a tri-coat, that is what we do every week.
Got a quote from another auto body shop in Riverview? Bring it. We will go through it line by line, and because our overhead is low, we can often come in under it without cutting corners.
Every estimate is written. Parts, labor, paint materials. No surprises at pickup.
We work with all insurance companies and deal with the adjuster for you, and you get to pick the shop that fixes your car.
That means fewer phone calls on your lunch break and a repair done to our standard, not the cheapest one on a list.
Three generations of the Traina family have run Dixie, and Angelo Traina Jr. still inspects every car before it goes home. Riverview customers tend to send their neighbors, which is how a lot of our business on this side of the county started.
We fix all makes and models, foreign and domestic. Minivans, work trucks, the teenager's first car.
Take I-75 north to the Selmon or I-4, then head toward Ybor City. We are at 3426 N 15th Street, open Monday to Thursday, 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Plenty of people choosing an auto body shop in Riverview time the drop-off with a trip downtown.
If you are farther east, the same route works from Brandon. Our Brandon location page covers that side, and for other small fixes there is our Riverview car body repair page.
Riverview sits in the middle of a lot of growth. Drivers from the towns around it make the same run up I-75 when they search for collision repair near me and want a shop with a long track record. Farther east on I-4, we also cover body repair for Plant City drivers.
Usually 25 to 35 minutes. Take I-75 north, then the Selmon Expressway or I-4 toward Ybor City. The shop is at 3426 N 15th Street in Tampa.
Riverview customers come to us for the track record: family-owned since 1926, owner-inspected work, and written estimates we will try to beat.
Yes. Light chips can be touched up. If the hood is heavily chipped or starting to rust at the chips, we sand, prime and refinish the panel.
Usually not. If the plastic is not cracked through, we repair the scrape and repaint the corner, blending it into the rest of the bumper.
Yes. We spray test cards, check them against the car and blend into the neighboring panels so the repair does not show.
Small bumper and scratch jobs often take a few days. Collision repairs with parts on order take longer. You get a time frame with your written estimate.
Estimates are by appointment, but if you are already in the area, stop by and we will look at the car and get the repair scheduled.
Either works: (813) 248-3156 or (813) 476-0312. We are open Monday to Thursday, 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM.
