Local service
Proudly serving Elgin
Elgin sits along the 290 corridor with a growing mix of new subdivisions and older homes near the downtown railroad district. The blackland prairie clay here expands and contracts with moisture, cracking asphalt and creating potholes that jolt suspensions and chip paint. The housing stock ranges from early-1900s farmhouses with long gravel drives to modern tract homes with two-car garages, and the open farmland east of town means deer crossings and loose gravel are everyday hazards for drivers.
We work in Elgin with the same mobile setup we use in Bastrop, pulling into driveways and farm lanes with our tools and paint-matching gear. The clay soil can get muddy after rain, so we bring plywood to lay down for jack stands and creeper mats. We schedule around the local school drop-off and harvest seasons, and we know which roads flood at the low-water crossings. Being twenty minutes from our shop on 71 means we can get parts same-day for most jobs.
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.

What Elgin drivers call us for
Collision Repair
The 290 corridor sees high-speed rear-enders and T-bones from distracted driving. We handle full panel replacements and frame pulls in our shop, then bring the car back to Elgin for final assembly.
Paint Services
Elgin's sun and clay dust wear down clear coats fast. We match paint to factory specs and account for the slight color shift that happens when a car has been parked in the open for years.
Scratch & Chip Repair
Gravel roads and farm-to-market routes throw stones at fenders and hoods. We fill chips with color-matched paint and clear coat, then wet-sand and buff to level the repair.
Frame Straightening
Collisions on 290 often push in the front or rear structure. We use a frame rack to pull the unibody back to spec, checking all suspension mounting points before any body work begins.
Typical projects
The kind of work we take on in Elgin
Deer Strike Damage
A pickup with a crumpled grille, bent hood, and cracked headlight from a deer crossing near the county line. We replaced the front-end components and painted the new parts on-site.
Paintless Dent Removal
A car with a dozen small dents from a hailstorm. We accessed the back of each panel and massaged the metal flat without filler or paint, preserving the factory finish.

Where we work
Across Elgin
Downtown Elgin
Narrow streets and on-street parking near the railroad tracks lead to door dings and bumper scuffs. We do quick touch-ups and dent removals on-site, often while the owner is at work.
Highway 290 Corridor
This four-lane highway carries commuters and truck traffic. Collisions here are often multi-vehicle and require towing to our shop. We prioritize these jobs because of the severity.
Outlying Farm Properties
Homes on FM 1704 and 1100 have long gravel drives and open pastures. Deer strikes and brush scratches are common. We bring our mobile kit and do the work in the barn or driveway.

“Showed up w/o an appointment. The owner greeted me and I showed him the light damage to my truck. He took the truck back to his shop and worked his magic. Now the scratches are gone. Very reasonable charge and a great job.”

“Let me start out by saying the work was immaculate. I have a paint color that is very difficult to match. Not only that, but Mike's team took the time to repair a chip for free without me even asking.”
