History

Established in 2011.

OnSite Recon was founded by two friends and fellow entrepreneurs, Matt Harden and Steve Crabb. Each comes from different backgrounds (Matt went to law school, and Steve went to seminary), but ultimately each found their way into the automotive appearance industry.

Matt and Steve have more than 10 years of experience between them, having worked for a privately held automotive reconditioning company. Matt and Steve founded OnSite with the express goal of making the reconditioning services that dealerships have relied on for years available to the general public, all at a fraction of the cost of a body shop. Matt and Steve are intent on creating a national brand; one that people will associate with quality, character and craftsmanship — qualities not often associated with this industry. I love Seth Godin’s definition of a «brand:» «A brand is the set of expectations, memories, stories and relationships that, taken together, account for a consumer’s decision to choose one product or servi

My son scraped my car by accident with his bike handle.
We sent pictures online to get a quote. It BLEW MY MIND. $ 648. $ 648? $ 648! For a 6 inch SCRATCH and another smaller one. WHAT? When my husband told me, I thought he was kidding.
Thankfully, a new neighbor that moved into our neighborhood owns another local body shop, went out and looked at it in person, and quoted me for less than half. They also thought it was a bit inflated.
Please just ask around before you commit. Maybe they thought the scratch was bigger than what it was in the pictures?

The waiting list for this service was 1-week, but after seeing that they did I can see why there a waiting list exists for this service. The paint technician Steve came out to (i) fix paint chips and (ii) fix scratch gashes on the side. Not only were both items taken care of with a great deal of care. Steven even polished/waxed the entire car panels that he worked on. Long story short: though these guyz have a bit of a waiting list, they are definitely worth the wait and their prices are fabulous relative to their competitors. Thanks Steve and On Site for your professionalism and commitment to excellence!

One word can describe OneSite Recon… Impressive.
I purchased a Red 2006 Honda s2000 back in 2011 with only 24k miles on the odometer. The car’s paint was flawless, however the front bumper was a shade darker than the rest of the car. Upon further inspection I came to the conclusion that it had been repainted at some point. Well 3 years later the bumpers clear coat started to lift, and I decided instead of spending a lot of time and money at a body shop, or the dealership that I would give OnSite Recon a call. The quote they gave me was hundreds less than any other body shops I called and they guarantee the work for as long as you own the vehicle. However the main reason I went with them was the fact that they would have all the work done in less than 4 hours at my house!
I must admit, I was slightly skeptical about having my front bumper professionally repainted outdoors. I was also wondering how close they could paint match the rest of my vehicle since it’s red, and red is a difficult color to match. Steve was my technician, and after talking with him about how the paint may turn out, and weather or not he would be able to match it 100% I gave him the green light. I’m glad I did. Not only was my car finished in under 4 hours but the bumpers paint looks 100x better than it did when I first purchased the car back in 2011. Not only was he able to match the paint, he also was kind enough to touch up 3+ years of paint chips on the hood and fenders. Very impressive!
So if you don’t want the hassle of a dealership, or body shop quoting you ungodly amounts of money for small repairs or keeping your car for days or even longer give OnSite Recon a call. If you’re worried about quality don’t! These guys are professional, pay attention to detail and have excellent customer service. I will definitely be spreading the word to all of my car buddies and co workers.
Job well done OnSite Recon!

Onsite Recon is a phenomenal service at surprisingly affordable price! I am looking to sell one my car, which had some rear bumper damage and was in need of cosmetic repair (rippled/cracked/missing paint, dents). I was initially unsure if it was worth it to have the bumper repaired prior to selling, but after a couple of hours with Steve’s handiwork, the vehicles bumper looks brand new. Literally. The paint matches perfectly. Body-shop work would have taken taken days to complete, been twice as much… and they likely would have hired a company like On-site Recon to do the work for them anyway! Cut out the middle man, save money, and get the job done in your driveway.
In addition, while the paint was drying, Steve went above and beyond, polishing my front headlights and doing little improvements here and there. I have no doubt that my On-site recon visit will more than pay for itself once I put the car on the market, considering it now looks near-new.
This is a small company now, but I have no doubt that these guys will become the new norm in cosmetic auto repair. The owners are focused on the customer and integrity, and do outstanding work. Would recommend them to anyone!

While visiting VA Beach, I got a body shop estimate for fixing a nasty scratch on my rear bumper. Body shops tend to expect insurance to pay for extensive repairs.
I found Onsite Recon on the Internet, and though I typically like to see more reviews I decided to give it a try. They responded to my email for an estimate within hours (significantly less than the body shop), and were able to schedule a visit to the home we were staying at the next day.
Steve was extremely courteous and professional and had my bumper looking like new in an hour. He went above and beyond in trying get a dent out as well. A few days and a car wash later, the repair is looking great. I highly recommend this service.
