What Is Carnauba Wax?

Why does CARSTAR Robert’s Collision use Carnauba Wax? Carnauba wax is the preferred car wax of collectors and Concours enthusiasts because it creates a rich, warm glow. It doesn’t appear to sit on the paint. It transforms the paint into a deep, liquid pool that shimmers under changing light conditions. The more carnauba wax, the more shine.   The richness of Carnauba Wax and its ability to protect your vehicle from color fading and scratches is why many people favor it. When people buy a new car, they often bring it to Robert’s Auto Repair right away for an Ultimate Facial. This is our premier detailing service that includes a complete micro buff, Clay Magic, and complete Carnauba Wax for an affordable rate. Just ask our team for pricing details.   Many people ask us, “Why would I give my brand new car an Ultimate Facial? The paint is perfect already as it is.” The reason many people choose the Ultimate Facial for Exterior Paint is that it pr ... read more

How Long Does It Take To Perform Auto Body Work?

When a vehicle requires auto body repair, a lot of car owners will ask, “How long does it take to perform auto body work?” The truth is, it all depends on the scope of the repair work. If your vehicle is a common model and the damage is relatively minor, the repairs will take a shorter time than if you are driving an older model vehicle that is harder to get parts for, or if the damage to your vehicle is quite extensive. For these reasons, we cannot commit to a repair timeframe without examining your vehicle, but we are happy to explain the steps it takes to complete the process. Without going into the minutia of detail for every auto repair process, the main steps are as follows: Step 1 = Contact your insurance carrier and schedule an assessment of your vehicle.

As holiday travel starts to ramp up in November, the risk of traffic accidents increases. We know you drive carefully, but what should you do if other drivers put you and your vehicle at risk of a collision? Here are the top five things you should do to avoid a collision.
