Mercedes-Benz Club of America Greater Washington Section had a great turnout for the Paint and Body Work Mercedes-Benz Repair Open House held this weekend at Auto Collision Specialists in Reisterstown, Maryland. MBCA members got a chance to watch our technicians at work, demonstrating many of the collision repair systems that are so crucial to Mercedes-Benz repair.

The turnout was even better than expected, with approximately 40 to 50 members attending. As you can see in the photo gallery above, we had some amazing vehicles on the premises, brought by MBCA members. Our technicians had a great time talking cars and answering questions. It’s always a pleasure to meet new people who are this passionate and knowledgeable about their vehicles.
Glasurit 90 Line Paint Demonstration | Mercedes-Benz Repair Open House
One of the most popular events of the day was the Glasurit 90 Line paint demonstration. Our Master Painter, Charles Scilipote, performed car paint repairs for the group, many of whom had direct experience in paint booths, and knew a lot about the craft. As you can see from the photo gallery below, MBCA members asked a lot of great, informed questions, and our technicians enjoyed the discussion.
Glasurit is a state-of-the-art paint system developed by BASF. It’s the top “waterborne” paint system, releasing significantly fewer emissions, and using less harmful chemicals. This makes it safer for the environment and for our technicians. Glasurit is also, arguably, the best paint system available, and has been granted OEM status from Mercedes-Benz and hundreds of major auto manufacturers.

Celette Frame Repair Demonstration | Mercedes-Benz Repair Open House
Mercedes-Benz Club of America members also showed a lot of interest in our Celette frame repair system, which we use to make precise structural repairs. Celette duplicates conditions from the assembly line, offering zero tolerance, ensuring that your vehicle will be returned to the way it was engineered by the manufacturer. Celette is one of the few collision repair systems certified by Mercedes-Benz.
