Flecha Automotive, Inc introduces top of the line Mobile Body Shop Service.

Many years ago body shop owner Roberto Flecha noticed that some local car dealerships seemed to have a need for minor paint repairs, but didn't want to deal with the time and expense of taking the cars to a collision repair shop. Always looking for ways to expand their business, Roberto Flecha began experimenting with ways to perform paint touch-up at the dealerships.

Since then, Flecha Automotive, Inc. Fort Myers, Florida business has expanded its services to auto dealerships in the Lee County area.

Mobile paint repair businesses, like mobile detailing services, have been springing up across the country in the past decade as more customers look for convenient ways to maintain their automobiles. Busy car dealerships, in the Lee, Collier and Hendry Counties and all over the Southwest Florida region, have embraced the concept as a fast, affordable way to keep their vehicle inventories looking good without the inconvenience of moving the cars off the lot.

While a few body shops have begun to offer mobile paint repair services to provide a new source of customers and revenue, Flecha Automotive, Inc has invested time and money on research and development of unique equipment and solutions that make it a unique shop in all fields of on-site collision and paint.

At-your-door service

By far, the largest consumers of mobile paint services are automotive dealerships in the Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Bonita, Naples, Port Charlotte, Sarasota and Tampa.

For dealerships, there are clear benefits: there is frequently a cost savings on the repairs, as well as a time savings because dealership employees don't have to drive the vehicles back and forth to the repair shop. Just as importantly, the car stays on the lot where customers can still see it, examine it and buy it.

Convenience is an obvious factor; most of these minor repairs can be done in the customer's driveway, or while they're at work. Repairs are relatively inexpensive (ranging from $125 to $175 for most jobs), and customers save paying expensive insurance premiums and having their rates go up. The final results are also much better than the gloppy bottle-and-brush touch-up kits available to consumers.
