INFINITI BODY SHOP LEWISVILLE, TX
QX80, QX60, QX50, Q50, Q60, the G fleet — the brand that asked you to look closer. Infiniti launched in November 1989 with television ads that famously never showed the car — rocks, water, birds — trusting people to come see for themselves. Thirty-five years later the problem has flipped: nobody looks closely enough at an Infiniti. Adjusters price it as its platform cousin, shops treat it like a Nissan in a suit, and the estimate quietly demotes your car. We look closer: Infiniti-specific panels, lamps, and grilles priced and argued in writing; two-tone roofs matched at the masked break; the pearls matched by code — and the family engineering underneath understood from our Nissan work. Free loaner, written lifetime warranty, direct billing.
DG Collision Center repairs Infinitis to the standard the brand set on day one — look closer. Infiniti launched on November 8, 1989 with ads that never showed the car — nature footage and Japanese-zen patience, trusting buyers to come look for themselves — and its flagship arrived confident enough to skip the traditional grille entirely. Today the brand’s repair problem is the mirror image: the estimate desk is where Infinitis get demoted. Because the engineering underneath is shared with the Nissan family, adjusters routinely price an Infiniti’s repair as if it were its platform cousin — but the panels, lamps, grilles, glass, and finish standards are not the cousin’s, and neither are the prices. So our promise is the brand’s own slogan turned into shop practice: we look closer. Infiniti-specific components identified and priced from the correct parts sheet, genuine parts argued in writing under Texas Insurance Code §1952.301, and the family knowledge working for you — the structural bones we know from our Nissan work, plus the judgment of exactly where your Infiniti stops being one. Paint runs the same both ways: White Pearl — code QAB — is the same tri-coat code we bank on our Nissan page, one of the family’s open secrets, while Moonlight White Pearl — QAA — sits one shade away (the two-whites trap only the code plate resolves), and Black Obsidian — KH3 — doubles as the roof color on newer two-tone cars, where refinish happens at the masked color break or it shows forever. The QX80 gets flagship treatment, the QX60 gets family-hauler pragmatism, and the G37s and Q50s that refuse to die get the respect kept cars have earned. Free loaner, no day limit; direct billing — your out-of-pocket is your deductible, once.
- The demotion is the danger — shared bones tempt adjusters to price your Infiniti as its platform cousin. We estimate from the Infiniti parts sheet and argue it in writing.
- Look closer, like the brand asked — the 1989 launch ads never showed the car; the estimate that shortchanges yours never really looked at it. We document what’s actually there.
- The family works for you — the engineering we know from our Nissan work makes the structural repair smarter; knowing where the Infiniti stops being a Nissan makes the estimate honest.
- Two whites, one plate — White Pearl QAB (the family tri-coat) and Moonlight White Pearl QAA sit a shade apart. The door-jamb code decides; the name never does.
- Two-tone roofs done right — Black Obsidian KH3 caps newer QX roofs; refinish meets the factory color break masked and clean, or the repair announces itself.
- Genuine parts have legal backup — Texas Insurance Code §1952.301 bars insurers from dictating parts by brand, type, or condition. We make that argument for you, in writing.
The Brand That Asked You To Look Closer
On November 8, 1989, a new luxury brand launched in America with the strangest ad campaign anyone had seen: television spots that never showed the car. Rocks. Water. Birds in flight. Infiniti bet that patience and curiosity were luxury values — that the right buyer would come look for themselves — and its flagship Q45 backed the philosophy by skipping the traditional grille altogether. You can argue with the marketing, but the premise was pure: this is a brand that rewards the second look. Thirty-five years on, that premise is exactly what an Infiniti owner needs from a body shop — because the modern Infiniti problem is that nobody looks closely enough. The engineering underneath is shared with the Nissan family, and that kinship tempts everyone in the claims process to round your car down: the adjuster prices the cousin’s bumper, the hurried shop hangs the cousin’s parts, and a luxury car comes back a little less than it was. The demotion never announces itself. It just accumulates.
Our answer is to do what the brand asked in 1989: look closer. The panels, lamps, grilles, glass, and trim on an Infiniti are not its platform cousin’s — the double-arch grille and the crescent-cut pillar the brand wears today are Infiniti-only metal and Infiniti-only money — and the finish standards are higher on exactly the surfaces a repair touches. So we estimate from the Infiniti parts sheet, photograph the actual car and its actual trim — a Sensory or Autograph package changes the corners that get hit — and argue genuine parts in writing under Texas Insurance Code §1952.301, which bars insurers from limiting coverage by the brand, type, kind, age, vendor, supplier, or condition of parts. And here’s where the family kinship flips from threat to asset: we know these bones. The same group engineering we document on our Nissan hub runs under the formal wear, which makes the structural work smarter — and knowing precisely where your Infiniti stops being a Nissan is what makes the estimate honest. Structural hits go to the measuring bench regardless of badge, because luxury only reads over geometry that’s true.
The paint tells the family story in code. White Pearl — QAB — is a true tri-coat and the very code we bank on our Nissan page: one of the family’s open secrets, the same pearl chemistry wearing two badges. One shade away sits Moonlight White Pearl — QAA — and the two-whites trap is real: they read nearly identical on a sunny lot and completely different side by side, which is why the door-jamb code plate decides the mix, never the color name. Black Obsidian — KH3 — is the executive mirror test, and on newer two-tone cars it caps the roof — which means refinish has to meet the factory color break masked and clean, because a fuzzy break line on a two-tone luxury car is a confession visible from the next lane. Every mix gets proven on a sprayout card before it touches the car, and every repaired panel gets read outside in daylight before delivery. The QX80 gets flagship patience, the QX60 gets family-hauler pragmatism, and the G37s and Q50s still carrying DFW commutes get the respect kept cars have earned — because a brand that rewards the second look deserves a repair that survives one. One honest note: there’s no Infiniti pictured on this page, because we only publish our own customers’ cars — never stock photos — and the next QX60 that rolls out of our bay will be here.
The Lineup
EVERY INFINITI, AND ITS QUIRKS
From the flagship QX80 to the G coupes that refuse to retire — each with its own repair personality.
QX80
The Texas flagship — three rows, real presence, and the new generation wearing the brand’s boldest face yet. Big panels, jewel lamps, and two-tone roofs on the top trims: repairs measured carefully and finished to the flagship bar.
QX60
The DFW volume Infiniti — school runs, office decks, tollway commutes. Family engineering underneath, luxury standards on top, and the exact car adjusters love to price as its cousin. Here, it never is.
QX50 & QX55
The mid-size pair — the practical one and the coupe-roofed one. Sensor-bearing fascias, panoramic glass, and parking-garage door edges; decoded per build, repaired per procedure, calibrated before delivery.
Q50 & Q60
The sport sedans and coupes — commuted hard, loved harder, and increasingly kept on purpose. Rush-hour rear-enders and parking-lot scrapes repaired with genuine panels, because these cars have owners who notice.
The G Fleet
The G35s and G37s still running DFW two decades on — a lot of first luxury cars and a lot of second owners who care. Repaired properly and honestly: genuine where it matters, documented completely, valued like the keepers they are.
The Signatures
The double-arch grille and the crescent-cut pillar — Infiniti-only shapes on Infiniti-only parts. Grille gapped even, pillar line preserved through quarter and roof work, lamps aligned: the identity survives the repair.
The Family Bones
The engineering kinship with Nissan — documented on our Nissan page — makes our structural work smarter and our parts judgment sharper. Same bones, different oath at the estimate desk.
Hail On The Flagship
A QX80 hood is one of the biggest hail catchers in any DFW driveway. Counted under proper lighting dent by dent, PDR where the factory paint survives, refinish discipline where it doesn’t — billed direct under comprehensive.
The Second Look
The card that explains this brand: the 1989 ads never showed the car; the lazy estimate never sees yours. Infiniti parts priced as Infiniti parts, trim documented, the demotion refused — in writing, every time.
Infiniti Paint, The Family Codes
A quiet luxury palette with a family secret: some of its best codes wear two badges. The code plate decides everything — especially on a brand with two nearly identical whites.
Every finish gets the same spectrophotometer-and-sprayout discipline — read the actual panel, prove the mix on a card, blend so there’s no edge for the Texas sun to find. Two badges, one standard: the code’s.
The Infiniti Repair, By The Book
Five steps, none optional — and on an Infiniti, the third one is the whole reason this page exists:
1 — The Factory Procedures Come First
Every repair starts in the published factory collision procedures for your exact model and year — structural sections, sensor brackets, lamp and grille mounting — with the family platform knowledge from our Nissan work informing the structural plan. Shared bones don’t mean shared shortcuts.
2 — Blueprint The Actual Car
Full disassembly, every hidden finding photographed and itemized into one documented supplement — plus the Infiniti decode: Sensory and Autograph trims change the parts sheet, two-tone roofs change the refinish plan, and the driver-assistance hardware varies by build. The supplement process pays for what’s found and documented.
3 — Repair It As An Infiniti
The step this brand needs most: the demotion refused. Infiniti-specific panels, lamps, grilles, and glass identified and priced from the Infiniti parts sheet — never the platform cousin’s — the double-arch grille gapped even, the crescent-cut pillar line preserved through any quarter or roof work, and the finish held to the luxury bar the badge promised its owner.
4 — Genuine Parts, Argued In Writing
On structural, safety, and identity components we push genuine parts and put the argument to the adjuster in writing — an imitation grille or lamp is the demotion made permanent. Texas Insurance Code §1952.301 bars insurers from limiting coverage by the brand, type, kind, age, vendor, supplier, or condition of parts — that fight is ours to have, not yours.
5 — Calibration, And The Second Look
Pre- and post-repair scans on every job; the camera and radar hardware your build actually carries recalibrated in-house and verified in print; two-tone break lines checked clean; and then the delivery this brand named itself for: the second look — outside, in daylight, panel by panel — before the keys come back to you with the file that proves it all.
