Collision Repair Done Right. Insurance Handled.
After an accident, you have enough to worry about. We handle the insurance paperwork, negotiate the repair on your behalf, and restore your vehicle to pre-accident factory condition. Lifetime workmanship guaranteed.
From Fender Benders to Full Frame Repair
Bodywerks handles the full range of collision repair. Whether you have a small dent from a parking lot incident or a major collision that requires structural frame work, our team has been doing this work since 1966. Every repair is built around one standard: restore the vehicle to factory pre-accident condition.
We work with every major insurance company. We negotiate the scope of work directly with your adjuster. We document the damage, advocate for the repairs your vehicle needs, and handle the paperwork so you do not have to. When you pick up your vehicle, it is ready to drive and backed by our Lifetime Workmanship Guarantee.
What separates Bodywerks from chain collision shops is the work itself. We sand every clear coat for a factory mirror finish. We use AkzoNobel™ paint and color match camera technology. Real humans answer every call. And we work directly with you to keep your out-of-pocket cost at or below your deductible whenever possible.

Our Collision Repair Process
A clear, predictable process from your first call to keys back in your hand.
Step 1: Schedule Your Estimate
Call us or book online. We schedule your free estimate appointment at a time that works for you. Most estimates take 20 to 30 minutes.
Step 2: In-Person Damage Inspection
We inspect the damage in person. We document everything that is visible, identify what is likely hidden, and build the initial repair scope with you.
Step 3: Insurance Coordination and Approval
We work directly with your insurance company to get the repair scope approved. We advocate for the repairs your vehicle actually needs, not just the cheapest path the insurance carrier wants to take.
Step 4: Disassembly and Hidden Damage Review
Once your vehicle is in our shop, we begin disassembly to uncover any additional damage that was not visible in the initial inspection. We coordinate with insurance to approve any additional work before we proceed.
Step 5: Repair, Paint, and Final Inspection
We complete the body and structural work, replace parts as needed, refinish with AkzoNobel™ paint, sand the clear coat for a factory mirror finish, detail the vehicle, and conduct a final quality inspection before delivery.
Why Drivers Choose Us Over Chain Collision Shops
