Unmatched service and hospitality! They navigated insurance on both sides after an accident, delivered a rental car, and then delivered my vehicle once the repairs were complete. It arrived looking brand new and professionally detailed, thank you!

Impressive work! They repaired the front and side of our vehicle and detailed it inside and out. It looks like it's brand new. I would recommend them to anyone looking for auto body work - definitely a 10/10 experience.
Frequently Asked Questions About Detroit Collision Center
What should I do immediately after a collision?
First, ensure everyone is safe and call emergency services if needed. Exchange insurance information with the other party, document the scene with photos, and contact Detroit Collision Center. We’ll handle the rest!
How long will the repair process take?
The time required for collision repair depends on the extent of the damage and parts availability. Minor repairs may take a few days, while extensive repairs could take a few weeks. Your repair shop should provide an estimated timeline after the initial assessment.
Do I need to get multiple repair estimates?
Most insurance companies only require one estimate from a certified repair shop. However, you can get multiple estimates for peace of mind and comparison. Your insurer may have a preferred network of repair shops but you are not obligated to use them.
Will my insurance cover the entire cost of the repair?
This depends on your policy and the circumstances of the collision. If you're at fault, you'll need to pay your deductible, and your insurance will cover the rest. If the other party is at fault, their insurance may cover the cost. Some policies may not cover certain repairs or parts, so review your coverage carefully.
Can I choose where my vehicle is repaired?

OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts are made by the vehicle’s manufacturer and are often more expensive but fit perfectly. Aftermarket parts are made by third-party manufacturers and can vary in quality. Insurance companies may opt for aftermarket parts to lower costs, but you can request OEM parts if preferred, though it might affect coverage.
Will my vehicle be as good as new after the repair?

Will my vehicle's paint match after repairs?
