What we do

No outsourcing, no waiting on third-party shops. One team accountable for the whole job.

Most shops in the region sublet paint work. We don't — which means faster turnaround and a single standard of quality from intake to pickup.

/05

/06

Pre-Purchase Inspections

Buying used in Simcoe County? We check paint, panels, and frame — so you know exactly what you're paying for.

02 — Why Zent

One shop.
One standard.

Most body shops are a relay race — your car gets handed from estimator to sublet painter to reassembly. We removed the handoffs. A named estimator owns your repair, and the paint never leaves the building.

A

In-house paint booth

No sublet paint work, no finger-pointing between shops — faster turnaround and a single standard of quality.

B

A named estimator owns your repair

From intake to pickup you know exactly who's handling your car and where it stands. No "let me check with the painter."

C

Transparent estimates

Line-item pricing, photos of the damage, and we flag anything we find before we cut — not after.

Insurance & private-pay friendly

Direct billing with major insurers, or fair cash pricing if you'd rather not involve insurance.

05 — FAQ

Straight answers

The questions every customer asks before they hand over the keys.

Do you deal directly with my insurance company?

Yes. We handle the estimate, supplements, and approvals with your adjuster — you drop the car off and we take it from there. And in Ontario, the choice of repair shop is yours, not your insurer's.

How long does a typical collision repair take?

Most repairs are measured in days, not weeks. The exact timeline depends on damage severity and parts availability — your written estimate includes a target completion date before we start.

Do you work on all makes and models?

Yes — domestic and import: cars, trucks, SUVs, and commercial vehicles. If it has panels and paint, we repair it.

Are you an insurance approved auto body shop in Barrie?

We work with all major insurers and offer direct billing. You don't need your insurer's "preferred" shop — you have the legal right to choose who repairs your vehicle.

Do you offer free estimates?

Yes. Text us photos of the damage or drop by 124 Anne Street S, Barrie — estimates are free, itemized, and turned around fast.
