Leave A ReviewFamily-owned since 1926 · serving Valrico
Valrico drivers who want an auto body shop in Valrico that treats them like a neighbor have been making the drive to Dixie Paint & Body Shop for years. We are a family-owned Tampa shop, open since 1926, handling dents, bumpers, scratches, repaints and collision work.
SR 60 west, past Brandon, into town. Worth the trip when the work is done right the first time.
From Valrico to our door
Take SR 60 west through Brandon or catch the Selmon Expressway, then head north of Ybor City to 15th Street.
Anyone who has sat on Bell Shoals Road at 7:15 AM behind the Bloomingdale High drop-off line knows how these happen. Two lanes, everyone late, one tap on the brakes and the car behind is in your trunk.
Most of these are light hits, but the bumper absorber and trunk floor still need a look. We take the cover off before quoting so there are no surprises halfway through the collision repair.
SR 60 through Valrico has turn lanes for every shopping plaza and not enough patience at any of them. Left turns across traffic near Miller Road and Valrico Road lead to a lot of side impacts: doors pushed in, rocker panels creased, B-pillars knocked out of line.
Side hits are where structural measuring matters most. Our ASE certified technicians check the door openings and pillar alignment before a single panel goes back on. More on that work is on our Valrico collision repair page.
A lot of Valrico homes back up to retention ponds and have long driveways lined with landscaping, posts and the neighbor's basketball hoop. Side-of-the-car scrapes are the result.
We sand the scrape down, fill if needed and refinish across the panel so the color does not stop in a line halfway down the door. That is standard paint and body damage work for us.
Lithia Pinecrest is narrow in spots with soft shoulders and deep ditches. Drop a wheel off the edge and you can tear the lower bumper, crack a fog light housing and scrape the whole underside of the front end.
We replace the clips and splash shields that usually get torn off along with it, so the bumper does not flap at highway speed a month later.
Ten summers in a Valrico driveway will cook a roof and hood. Peeling clear, chalky color, the works. Sometimes a two-panel refinish fixes it. Sometimes the whole car is ready.
Our booth does both, and the painters match color to how the car looks today, not just the code on the door jamb. See our auto paint shop services for what a full repaint involves.
Ball field lots, grocery runs on SR 60, kids flinging car doors open. Valrico family cars collect dings fast.
Shallow dents are worked out and refinished on that panel only. If you are not sure whether a dent is worth fixing, our car body repair page for Valrico shows the kinds of jobs we take.
You get a written estimate before work starts, parts and labor broken out. Estimates are by appointment, or stop in when you are in Tampa. Already got a quote from another auto body shop in Valrico? Bring it and we will try to beat it.
If the other driver was at fault or you are filing a claim, we work directly with your insurance company and handle the paperwork.
Three generations of the Traina family have run Dixie, and Angelo Traina Jr. still personally inspects every finished car. Gaps, paint texture, trim, every bulb.
