Dealership Collision Center Solutions.
Paint booths, prep stations, waterborne flashing, vacuum, compressed air, and breathing-air systems—planned around your dealership’s repair volume and supported with maintenance, repairs, and filters. Southern Booth & Equipment connects the equipment and ongoing service your refinishing operation depends on.
Built around your operation
One Partner for Your Collision Center.
For a high-volume dealership collision center, booth capacity is only part of the picture. Preparation bays, clean air, paint mixing, and equipment uptime all affect how work moves through the facility. SBE helps connect these systems around your vehicle mix, technician demand, and production goals—from a new facility to improvements within an operating dealer-group location.

We Design. We Build.
We Keep You Running.
One partner for the equipment, the installation, and the support that follows.

Retrofits & Modernization
Evaluate practical improvements before replacing an entire system. Options may include controls, suitable lighting, waterborne flashing, air treatment, equipment relocation, or added booth and prep capacity.
Preferred Maintenance Program
Paint Booth Maintenance Plans Built Around Your Production.
Our Preferred Maintenance Program brings planned service, filter replacement, and equipment-specific care into one coordinated plan. Start with your booths and prep stations, then include compressed air, vacuum, and breathing-air equipment where needed. Service tasks and visit timing are developed around equipment requirements and the way your collision center operates.
Already Have the Equipment? Start Here.
You do not need to buy a new booth to work with SBE. Start with an existing system, a recurring fault, an upcoming filter change, or a facility-wide maintenance review.

Need Filters Without a Maintenance Plan?
One Partner for Your Collision Center.
Order replacement filters on their own or coordinate recurring supply and changeouts. Share the equipment make and model, filter dimensions, quantities, and photos so we can help identify the right media.
