// Our Story
Built by gearheads. Trusted by drivers.
What started as a two-bay garage off Burnside is now Portland's most-referred independent body shop.
// THE STORY
We automated the boring parts so we could obsess over the details.
In 2008, Marcus Vellan opened a two-bay shop with a single goal: fix cars the way the manufacturer intended — not the way insurance adjusters fastest-pathed them.
Sixteen years later, Alignment Automated is a 12,000 sq ft facility with a downdraft spray booth, four-post laser alignment rig, and computerized frame measuring system. The tools changed. The standard didn't.
We're still independent. Still family-owned. And still measuring twice.
// WHAT WE STAND FOR
Four commitments.
Measured precision
Every tolerance checked twice. No estimates passed off as fact.
Certified craft
I-CAR Gold Class shop with manufacturer-trained refinishing techs.
Straight talk
We explain the work in plain language. No upsells, no surprises.
Lifetime warranty
Our bodywork is warranted for as long as you own the vehicle.
// THE CREW
People who'd rather redo it than ship it half-right.
