Leave A ReviewFamily-owned since 1926 · serving Sun City Center
Choosing an auto body shop in Sun City Center comes down to trust. Dixie Paint & Body Shop has been family-owned since 1926, and Sun City Center residents send us their cars for collision repair, bumper and dent work, scratch repair and careful auto painting.
We keep things simple and unhurried. You talk to the people doing the work, and nobody rushes you out the door.
From Sun City Center to our door
Head west on SR 674 to I-75 north, switch to I-4 west, then exit near Ybor City and go north to 15th Street.
Sun City Center is one of the few places where golf carts share the streets and the parking lots with cars. A cart bumper sits right at the height of your lower door and rocker panel, so the damage is low, long and scraped rather than dented.
We smooth out the creases and refinish the lower panels so the color matches the rest of the car.
The grocery and pharmacy lots along SR 674 get crowded in the morning. Scuffed corners, door dings and cracked bumper covers are the usual result.
Most of these are small repairs. Our Sun City Center paint damage repair page explains how we handle scuffs and scratches without repainting more than we have to.
The ramps at SR 674 and I-75 mix trucks, snowbird traffic and drivers who are not sure which lane they need. Side swipes and rear-end hits there can do more than cosmetic damage.
Our ASE certified technicians measure the frame and repair the structure first, then the panels, through our collision repair process.
Plenty of cars around Cypress Village Boulevard have low miles and a lot of birthdays. They run fine, but the roof and hood have faded or the clear coat is peeling.
We refinish the tired panels or repaint the whole car in our booth. See our auto paint and refinishing work for what that involves.
Many villa and condo garages here were built for smaller cars. A mirror clipped on the door frame or a fender rubbed along the wall is common, and it happens even to careful drivers.
We repair the scrape, refinish the panel and check that mirrors and trim are tight before you get the car back.
We explain the repair in plain language, answer every question, and tell you up front how long it will take. If someone is helping you with drop-off and pick-up, we will talk with them too.
Our hours are Monday to Thursday, 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, so you can plan the trip for a quiet part of the day. That patience is what people want from an auto body shop in Sun City Center, and it carries into our Sun City Center collision work as well.
You get a written estimate before any work starts, with each part and labor item listed. If another auto body shop in Sun City Center or Ruskin gave you a quote, bring it in 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 forms, photos and calls with the adjuster, and you decide where your car is repaired.
You will not be stuck on hold. We keep you posted until the car is ready.
Three generations of the Traina family have run Dixie, and Angelo Traina Jr. still inspects every car before it leaves. Many residents tell us that is why they picked us over the first auto body shop near me that came up online.
