Mechanical & Collision Repairs

Timelines vary with the severity of the damage. Minor cosmetic work such as a bumper or a single panel can turn around in a few days, while structural or frame repair takes longer, especially when parts have to be ordered. Paint and refinishing also add time. For fleets, downtime is the real cost, so Anew scopes the repair up front, sources parts efficiently, and keeps you updated so you can plan around the vehicle. Bring the vehicle in for an assessment and we will give you an honest estimate on both the work and the timeline.

Cost depends on what is damaged and how deep the repair goes. A small dent or scuff sits at one end of the range, and structural repair with parts replacement, frame work, and a full repaint sits at the other. The vehicle make and model and the number of panels affected all factor in. Because every job is different, the accurate answer comes from an in-person assessment. Anew inspects the vehicle, identifies everything that needs attention, and gives you a clear estimate before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

It comes down to control, cost, and scale. In-house maintenance gives you direct control but requires bays, equipment, technicians, and management overhead that only pay off at a certain fleet size. Outsourcing converts that fixed cost into a predictable per-service cost and hands the staffing and equipment burden to a partner. The key questions are fleet size, whether you have the space and staff, and how much downtime you can absorb. Many fleets land on a hybrid, keeping quick daily checks internal and outsourcing heavier mechanical, body, and collision work. Anew is built for that outsourced side, with mechanical, body, and paint under one roof.

The biggest lever is preventive maintenance. Scheduled service catches small problems before they become expensive breakdowns and keeps vehicles in rotation longer. A few practical moves: set a service schedule based on mileage and usage, track each vehicle’s history so patterns show up early, bundle services to cut trips to the shop, and work with a single provider who knows your fleet instead of spreading work across vendors. Anew scales routine service to your fleet size and can combine maintenance with transport, storage, and repair, so a small operation gets the coordination of a much larger one.

Yes. Anew’s Super Shop in Pevely, Missouri brings mechanical service and collision and body repair under one roof. That includes routine and preventive maintenance, engine and brake work, diagnostics, frame and body repair, and paint booth services with custom color matching. Handling both means a vehicle that needs mechanical work and body repair does not bounce between two shops. It goes to one team, one point of contact, and one timeline, which meaningfully reduces downtime for a working fleet.
