They take pride in their workmanship to get the job done properly  the first time. This only comes from years of experience and that’s what you get here at Golden West Coach. Let’s introduce you to some of our shop pros below.

The super precise Shark® & Chief®
frame puller combo:

When your vehicle is damaged in a collision, the basic structure can be affected. This is called, “Indirect or Hidden Damage.” This kind of damage can’t be seen by the naked eye but it can cause many problems down the road. For example, if the “Hidden Damage” is not diagnosed and repaired properly, it can cause tire wear or suspension and drivability issues. We use the SHARK® Measuring System to diagnose and measure any damage to the frame of your vehicle. With the Shark Computerized Diagnostics we can locate hidden damage, allowing corrections to be made on the Chief® EZ Liner frame puller which will restore the structural integrity of your vehicle back to factory specs.

ProSpot PR-10 with electrode welding head

The revolutionary Pro Spot® PR-10
 resistance spot welding system:

Designed to make every weld stronger, quicker and easier the PR-10 duplicates factory type welds especially for uni-body constructed vehicles. The Pro Spot can produce strong, structurally sound, squeeze-type resistance welds in only 0.3 seconds of weld time. Because of this quicker weld time, no excessive temperatures accumulate and corrosion protectants such as E-coat, primer, sealer and galvanized sheets remain intact between the panels. Welded panels now stay cooler with less chance of warping. No grinding is necessary on the welds afterward because the PR-10 reproduces a factory appearance.
Our technicians are fully trained with this system and have countless hours operating them. We have three Pro Spots
® in our shop to minimize downtime and get your vehicle to you sooner.

Guillermo “Gill” Martinez : He’s the Parts Manager at GWC for the last 8 years. He orders all genuine manufacturer parts quickly and efficiently (OEM - when available of course). He also inspects the parts that come in to make sure they are the correct ones and are free of any damage or manufacturer’s defects before they go into the shop and onto your car. By using mainly OEM parts and applying tight Quality Control procedures, Gill makes sure you are getting parts that are as good as or better than factory specifications on your vehicle without delaying the repair process.
