Innovative Technology

We’d love to take you on a tour of our BMW Group Certified Collision Repair Centre with its four indoor estimating bays, seven sparkling prep areas, twelve neatly maintained body stalls, two NitroHeat-equipped downdraft spraybooths and two detail bays. Because as you know, luxury vehicles are built to exacting specifications from carefully selected metals, plastics and electronic equipment. Preserving the integrity and function of these components means having the right systems and tools. You’d see them all.

Our paints and NitroHeat-equipped spray booths are also approved by the BMW Group to guarantee our repair will do nothing to diminish your vehicle’s original lustre and weather resistance, or the joy you derive from owning it. Distinctive Auto Works is as committed to using the highest-quality materials and equipment available as it is to reducing our footprint on the environment. We’re pleased to say our advanced nitrogen-driven painting system succeeds in addressing both these concerns with (literally) flying colours. By supplying a smooth, steady flow of 98% pure, heated nitrogen to our paint guns with all impurities and water particles removed, the NitroHeat system produces dramatically less overspray and waste, reducing paint consumption by up to 30%. That keeps tens of thousands of litres of paint a year out of the environment.

Even without the tour, you get the picture. We can’t improve on perfection, but we can certainly uphold it.
