North State Custom

North State is available for estimates from 8 am to 6 pm, Monday through Friday. No appointment is necessary.

North State Custom thinks of the vehicle owner as its customer not the insurance company. Our goal is to give you the best repair possible. We will work hard to explain to your insurer the best methods to repair your vehicle back to its pre-accident condition in appearance and function. We are not on any Insurance Company referral or Direct Repair Programs. Repair shops on insurance company programs are beholding to the insurance company. This compromises their ability to look out for your best interest.

At North State Custom your best interest and producing the absolute best repair for you is our number ONE priority.
