About Collision Specialists

Locally-owned and owner-operated, CSI will ensure you’re treated like family and always receive the best quality auto repair and service. Our estimators, technicians, and painters collectively have over a half a century of experience. Everyone on our staff keeps both I-CAR and ASE certifications in place and follows continuous rigorous update trainings. Collision Specialists is not a large chain/corporation, so we can pay attention to the details and this makes us unique. Details matter to you and they matter to us. We make sure your vehicle is repaired properly and while we work with any insurance company, we will always work for you first.

Feedback from our clients…

I couldn’t be more happy with the results I got at Collision Specialists. I had a dent in my rear quarter-panel on my BMW E39 from a parking lot mishap. They did such a fantastic repair that the car looked much better after the repair than it did before the dent was made. They even did several other minor repairs for free. The turn-around time was very short. The body-man/owner, Curley, is a perfectionist with decades of experience. He is wholly honest and cares more about doing the job right than making a buck. He is more of an old-world craftsman than a modern-day businessman. He wanted to redo a part of the repair for no charge because he was unhappy with the way it turned out. I thought it was perfect the way it was and could not see what he was talking about. I refused because to me it would have been a waste of time, but to him, it was important. He also communicates very well and is easy to work with.
