A full house of vehicles awaits Dorn's expert service.
For 53 years, family-owned Dorn’s Body and Paint has been offering excellence in automotive service, collision repair and transportation/recovery assistance from its familiar location in Mechanicsville. An average of 100 vehicles a week pass through the doors of the 25,000 square-foot facility at 8190 Mechanicsville Turnpike, seeking expert service for every type of vehicle from every major manufacturer — including Tesla, Ferrari, Land Rover and BMW, among many others.
The company’s transportation division carries vehicles large and small up and down the East Coast — even earth movers and military vehicles. Towing and recovery services are available 24 hours-a-day, seven days-a-week.
Dorn’s technicians are certified by all major manufacturers, as well as ASE certified — an industry standard that guarantees Automotive Service Excellence. The collision experts are I-Car certified to a gold or platinum standard. I-Car is a program that ensures that every person in the collision repair industry has the information, knowledge and skills required to perform complete, safe and quality repairs for the ultimate benefit of the consumer. Dorn’s has a substantial investment in state-of-the-art equipment, including an “aluminum room” certified as safe for the care of aluminum-body vehicles.

Although they think big at Dorn’s, no job is too small — including state inspections, alignments or detailing. All service and collision work is done in-house and carries a lifetime warranty.
“There is no limit to what we can and will do,” said Tony Haboush, service director since August 2000. “We strive to do it right and as the manufacturer recommends.” Build sequence is an important standard in the automotive industry and Dorn’s’ technicians are trained to achieve it — to maximize efficiency, reduce waste and comply with every manufacturer’s standards.
Company owner Raymond Dorn is justifiably pleased with his team’s performance and training record. “There’s a lot involved with working on these cars,” he said, “and we make sure we have the best equipment, information and skills to attend to every vehicle.”
Haboush added, “We’re self-driven. We spend a great deal of time educating ourselves,” he said. “That’s something we’re really proud of.” When quality work is a priority, automotive owners can trust Dorn’s to get the job done right, every time.
