What Bergen's Auto Body Clients Say ...

"Bergen’s is an “A” One Business in Regina Saskatchewan. I needed body work done due to a person hitting my vehicle in a parking lot. While the vehicle was in their shop, I asked them to replace the front windshield also. During the time my vehicle was in their shop, they supplied me with updates as to the progress of the repairs, which I greatly appreciated. Their work is top notch; in my opinion, the BEST in Regina! They not only returned my vehicle with the body work completed and my car looking fabulous, but they returned my vehicle in immaculate condition. Washed, and not a spec of dust. The Bergen’s guarantee superb workmanship, and they deliver! Thank You!" - Patricia Knapp- Google

"Wow!! These guys are AWESOME! Did an SGI claim through them, they kept me up to date the entire time, I got texts every step along the way of the repair and they finished it sooner than I anticipated. But wow it looks amazing inside and outside of the car! I was letting my brother use my car and it was starting to get stinky in there and they even cleaned the interior. I am so happy, my expectations have really been exceeded!" - Sarah S - Google

A word from Sara, the Trusted Regina founder, about her personal experience with .

When I first met the Bergen family, I knew they were right for Trusted Regina. They are down-to-earth, hard-working folk that put everything into what they do. It is obvious that Jon and Tyson care so much about their clients and their team, they cherish the legacy passed to them from their parents, and they will do everything to do better and be better! Bergens are not only an outstanding local business and leader in the Saskatchewan autobody industry, but they are also committed to supporting the Regina community. They know from personal experience how important it is to encourage and support kids in sports, especially those that need financial assistance for equipment and fees. Helping out is a big part of who they are. They are so involved and passionate about kids' sports teams and activities in Regina that it takes work to keep up with everything they sponsor! This shows a deep level of integrity and authenticity - they love Regina, and they are grateful for all the generations of families in their city that have supported Bergen's Auto Body, a local family-owned autobody shop. The Trusted Regina community and I are better for knowing them, and we are so proud to be a part of their ongoing success; we can't recommend them highly enough! - Sara Wheelwright

CAN BERGENS AUTO BODY GUARANTEE PAINT MATCHING?

Q: WILL THE PAINT MATCH ON MY VEHICLE AFTER MY AUTO BODY / COLLISION REPAIRS ARE DONE?

So you need to get you car fixed after an accident or collision. A safe repair is most important to the customers of our body shop in Regina, SK   but most consumers of newer vehicles are really concerned that the vehicle gets returned to its factory appearance. There are many techniques we employ to make a color match exactly to the rest of the factory paint on the car, such as blending and tinting. As auto body repair professionals we are faced with many challenges in matching the factory paint, so we thought we would share the process and challenges with you.

First challenge: The Factory Standard

The first challenge is the factory standard. Today, the average paint code has between three to seven alternates that are worth formulating. There is actually more but the auto paint manufacturers have narrowed them to down to keep the databases simple to use.

So why do the car manufacturers have so many variances?

Most manufacturers have three major paint suppliers. The manufacturer decides on a standard color for production and submits a painted sample to their suppliers. The paint manufacturer then produces a formula for the “standard sample” and is allowed a tolerance of plus or minus 5% when they deliver the paint.

Second challenge: Manufacturers geographical variance

The plant in the east coast may be getting a 5% shade greener on a blue metallic standard and the plant in the west coast may be getting a 5% shade violet on the same blue metallic standard. When compared side by side, they look like a completely different colour. This is the reason the paint manufacturers usually have the standard formula followed by two alternates. If the alternates are not available, the painter in the body shop usually mixes the standard formula and tints it accordingly.

The second reason for variances in paint colours is the metallic colour applications. The metallic colours are now classified in 7 categories. Extra fine, fine, medium, medium coarse, coarse, and extra coarse. The metallic colours control the value (lightness and darkness) of the color similar to what white does in a pastel color.

Metallic colors will cause variances in color when applied. Temperature, paint film thickness, flash off time between coats, fluid tip sizes, speed of the spray gun, surface type (Plastic or Metal) and humidity will all cause the color to shift lighter or darker.

The rule of thumb: the longer it takes to dry, the darker the color will change as it dries. This is caused by pigment flotation. The metallic flakes will settle down to the bottom of the paint film and push the pigment up causing the color to shift darker.

Yet despite these challenges, a good auto body painter can match your factory paint, using manufacturers’ paint codes, spray panel testing, and here at Bergens we have decades of good old-fashioned experience. 

So the answer is yes, the paint will match if you are using a reputable body shop like Bergens.

 Here is a recent review about Bergens on their Google Review page on the Bergen's Auto Body  Regina Google + Page  

" Immediately after my appointment -- on the 4th of the month -- at the SGI Claims Centre (as the result of a collision between my truck and a deer) I took the vehicle to the two Ford dealerships in Regina. Neither one could accommodate me within the next month to six weeks and weren't really interested in looking at the paperwork to determine the scope of work that needed to be done. I went to Bergen's where Jonathon had a close look at the paperwork, listened to my need to have the vehicle fixed and back in my hands by the 15th and, within minutes, committed to meeting my need. Bottom line: I had the truck back on the 13th, with quality workmanship and cleaner outside and in than it had been for weeks. Could not be happier nor more satisfied with the attitude, the quality of work and the delivery on commitment given by Jonathon and the staff at Bergen's " Leon Brin , Regina

Thanks for taking the time to review them Leon...and thank you to Bergen's for proving ( yet again) that they are deserving of the title TRUSTED REGINA AUTO BODY SHOP.
