Ferrari Collision and Body Repair for Austin

A 1980s 328, a 458 Italia and a Purosangue are built in completely different ways. A Ferrari repair starts by identifying the chassis, the panel materials and the paint before anyone picks up a tool.

Chassis
Aluminum on most road cars since the 360 Modena
Exceptions
Carbon in the SF90 and hypercars, mixed materials in the Purosangue
Paint
Solid, metallic and three-layer colors, plus Tailor Made

Ferrari repair guide

No single recipe covers every Ferrari

Since the 360 Modena of 1999, most Ferrari road cars have used aluminum chassis with aluminum body panels. The SF90 adds carbon fiber to its chassis, the Purosangue combines aluminum, high-strength steel and carbon fiber, and the hypercars, from the Enzo and LaFerrari to the F80, are built around carbon tubs. Classic Ferraris such as the 308, 328 and Testarossa are steel-framed. Each of these needs a different repair method.

So before we talk about price or time, we identify the exact model, year and options from the VIN. That tells us which panels are aluminum, steel, composite or carbon, how they're joined, and what Ferrari's repair information allows. Then we look at where the impact load actually went. Our aluminum repair page explains why aluminum needs its own tools and its own clean area.

Since 1977 · Aarau and Parma

Ferrari and the Agnelli family

Ferraris were among the Italian exotics the family workshops worked on, from the first shop that Leonardo's grandfather, Afro, opened in Aarau, Switzerland in 1977 to the later workshop in Parma, in Emilia-Romagna. Leonardo learned the trade there from his father, Stefano. That experience comes with him to Round Rock, which is the family's first shop in Texas and is new.

Aluminum chassis: why a Ferrari isn't straightened like a steel car

Most modern Ferraris are aluminum from the chassis to the outer panels. Aluminum is light and strong, and it behaves very differently from steel once it's been bent.

01

Less forgiving when bent

Aluminum work-hardens and can crack if it's pulled the way steel is. Whether a section can be reshaped or has to be replaced depends on where it is and on Ferrari's repair information for that model.

02

Joined by more than welds

Ferrari chassis use combinations of welds, rivets and structural adhesives. A repair has to recreate the joint the factory specifies, not simply the one that's easiest to make.

03

Kept away from steel

Steel dust on aluminum causes galvanic corrosion that shows up months later. We use separate aluminum tools and a separate work area so the two never mix.

04

Measured, not judged by eye

After a structural hit, the chassis is measured on our frame bench against Ferrari's dimensions before and after the repair, so we know the suspension points are where they should be.

Ferrari · 02

Carbon on a Ferrari: trim, aero or structure?

Carbon appears on many Ferraris, but it plays very different roles. The repair decision depends on which one it is.

Trim and option parts

Mirror caps, interior trim and option packages add exposed carbon in gloss or matte clear. Scratches in the clear can often be refinished; damaged weave usually means a new part.

Aero and underbody

Splitters, diffusers and underbody panels are exposed to driveways and road debris. They're inspected with their mounting points, because a cracked bracket matters as much as a scuffed surface.

Structural carbon

On the SF90 and the hypercars, carbon is part of the chassis. Any damage there is assessed strictly against Ferrari's repair information; it isn't patched like a body panel.

Ferrari · 03

Rosso Corsa is not the only red

Ferrari's reds alone come in several distinct shades, the wider palette includes solid, metallic and three-layer (tri-strato) colors, and Tailor Made cars can carry colors you won't find in any standard library.

Same name, different car

Even a solid red changes with age and sun. We read your car with a spectrophotometer instead of trusting the paint code alone, then spray test cards to compare in daylight before painting.

Three-layer colors

Tri-strato finishes have a base, a tinted mid-coat and clear. The mid-coat thickness changes the color, so it's sprayed on test panels first and matched layer by layer.

Blending, not patching

To avoid a visible edge, color is usually blended into the panels next to the repair. We tell you up front which panels the blend will cover.

Ferrari · 04

Low noses, lifters and what sits behind the bumper

Front scrapes go deeper than they look

On many mid-engine Ferraris, radiators and ducting sit behind the front bumper corners. A front hit that only scuffed the paint can still have bent a radiator or cracked a duct, so we check the cooling parts behind it.

Nose-lift systems

Many Ferraris have an optional front lifter. After an underbody impact we check the lifter, the splitter mounts and the undertray together.

Wheels and suspension

A curb strike can move suspension geometry without visible body damage. We check alignment and suspension mounting points after any wheel impact.

Good to know

Before you book a Ferrari repair

Ferrari Classiche certification

If your car is Classiche certified, or you plan to apply, tell us before any work starts. Certification is about originality, so we agree which parts are repaired or replaced and keep removed original parts and documentation for you.

296 and SF90 are plug-in hybrids

Hybrid Ferraris carry a high-voltage battery and wiring. Ferrari's procedures set how the system is made safe and what is inspected after an impact; we explain what applies to your car when we review the damage.

Parts come from Ferrari

We use OEM parts wherever Ferrari's procedures require them. Some parts are made in small numbers, so we confirm availability before giving you a timeline.

Inspection

What we check on every Ferrari

Photos show what's visible. These checks happen at the in-person inspection, before a repair plan is written.

  • Exact model, year and options from the VIN, including carbon and Tailor Made items
  • Chassis measurements against Ferrari's dimensions after any structural hit
  • Radiators, condensers and ducting behind the front bumper
  • Front lifter, splitter mounts and undertray after underbody scrapes
  • Carbon parts: surface, edges and mounting points
  • Paint layers, color variance and the panels needed for an invisible blend

How it works

How a Ferrari repair works with us

  1. 1

    Send photos

    Photos of the damage, the year and model, and the VIN if you have it. We reply with a free first estimate. You can do this today.

  2. 2

    In-person inspection

    From January 2027, at our Round Rock workshop. On a Ferrari, we first identify the chassis generation and materials, then trace where the impact load went. Structural damage is measured on our frame bench against factory dimensions.

  3. 3

    Written repair plan

    Repair method, parts and paint, written down before you authorize anything. OEM parts wherever the manufacturer requires them. Driver-assist calibrations are done by a dealer or calibration specialist and listed in the plan.

  4. 4

    Repair and handover

    Repairs follow the manufacturer's procedures. Color is read with a spectrophotometer and sprayed in our paint booth, and you review the finished car with us before you take it home.

Insurance claim?

In Texas you choose the repair shop, not your insurer. We are independent, not part of an insurer's direct repair program. We write the supplements and push for OEM parts where the manufacturer requires them. How we handle claims

Warranty and timing

Warranty terms are given in writing before any work starts. Parts lead times vary by model, so we confirm timing once parts are ordered rather than promising a date up front.

Ferrari repair questions

Is every Ferrari built on an aluminum spaceframe?

No. Most road Ferraris since the 360 Modena use aluminum chassis, but the SF90 adds carbon fiber, the Purosangue mixes aluminum, high-strength steel and carbon, and the hypercars use carbon tubs. Classic models are steel-framed. That's why the plan starts from the exact model and year.

Can you match Rosso Corsa on an older Ferrari?

We match the car, not just the code. Even a solid red shifts with age and sun, so we read the paint with a spectrophotometer, spray test cards to compare in daylight and blend into the neighboring panels so there's no visible edge.

Will a repair affect my Ferrari's value?

A properly documented repair with OEM parts protects it as far as any repair can, but no shop can promise how a buyer or appraiser will view a repair history. You get a written record of what was repaired, replaced and refinished.

Is Agnelli Bodyworks an authorized Ferrari repairer?

No. We're an independent body shop with no Ferrari authorization or certification. We follow Ferrari's repair information and use OEM parts where it requires them.

My insurer suggested a dealer. Can I still choose you?

Yes. Texas law lets you choose where your car is repaired. We work with your insurer, document the damage and write supplements if the teardown finds more.

Can you work on a classic Ferrari?

Send photos and tell us the model and year. Classic Ferraris use different materials and joining methods from modern ones, so we assess each car individually before accepting the work.
