Local service
Proudly serving Elgin
Elgin is a growing town north of Bastrop along Highway 95, with a mix of older homes near the historic downtown and newer subdivisions spreading out along the farmland. The blackland prairie soil holds moisture and can cause rust on undercarriages, while the open fields mean more gravel roads that chip paint and crack bumpers. Elgin's summer heat and humidity also accelerate paint fading on vehicles parked outside.
Our crew drives up from Bastrop on Highway 95, so we can reach Elgin in about 20 minutes. We bring mobile equipment for bumper repairs and scratch removal at a customer's home, and we offer convenient drop-off at our shop for larger jobs. We know the back roads and the traffic around the railroad crossings, so we can schedule pickups that work around Elgin's commute patterns.
Lost Pines Paint & Body works across Bastrop, TX & the Lost Pines Region, so a crew is never far from Elgin. Call (512) 303-3780 or request a free estimate and we’ll come out and take a look.
Local demand
What Elgin homeowners call us for
Bumper Repair
Gravel roads and tight downtown parking cause scrapes and cracks. We repair plastic bumpers, sanding and painting to match the original finish.
Scratch & Chip Repair
Loose gravel from farm roads and highway debris leaves chips on hoods and fenders. We fill, sand, and blend paint to hide the damage.
Auto Painting
The sun and humidity in Elgin fade paint on older cars and trucks. We apply color-matched finishes with a UV-resistant clear coat.
Dent Removal
Hail and minor collisions leave dents on roofs and doors. We use paintless techniques to restore the metal without disturbing the factory paint.
