Collision repair
Collision repair in Portland, done right.
Collision and accident repair in Sellwood, Southeast Portland from a family-owned shop that finds the hidden damage, straightens the frame back to factory spec, and matches the paint so you cannot tell it happened. Every make, every carrier, free estimate.
After an accident the body shop you pick decides whether your car is genuinely fixed or just made to look fixed. We handle the full range of collision damage: bumper repair and replacement, fender repair, front-end and rear-end collision damage, side-impact panel work, auto frame straightening, and unibody structural repair. Whatever the impact, we find it all, document it, and bring the car back to factory spec before a drop of paint goes on.
We have been doing collision and auto body damage repair in Portland since 2010, and we are I-CAR Gold Class, the highest training credential in the trade. We bring the same care to European collision repair, including BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Porsche, but every make is welcome.
- We find the hidden damage
- We disassemble the damaged area to see what the impact really did, not just what shows from the curb. Bent structure, cracked mounts, and pushed-back crash rails get found and documented, never buried under a quick panel swap.
- Frame & unibody back to spec
- Frame and unibody work is pulled and measured back to the manufacturer's dimensions on the rack, so the car tracks straight, the panel gaps line up, and the crumple zones protect you the way they were engineered to.
- Panel repair or replacement
- We straighten what can be saved and replace what can't, with OEM parts on request. New panels are aligned to factory gaps, then primed and sealed before they ever reach the booth.
- Sensors and ADAS recalibration
- Modern bumpers and mirrors hide cameras and radar for lane-keeping, blind-spot, and emergency braking. When a repair disturbs them, we make sure those systems are recalibrated so the safety tech reads the road correctly again.
- Any carrier, your choice
- Where your car gets repaired is your call, not the insurer's. Whoever you are insured with, we work directly with them and take the back-and-forth off your plate.
- I-CAR Gold Class
- The collision industry's highest training credential. It is third-party proof the people touching your car are trained to current repair standards.
Frame straightening and unibody repair
A hard hit moves more than the panel you can see. On a modern car the structure absorbs the impact on purpose, so a front or rear collision can push crash rails back, twist the unibody, and throw the suspension geometry out of true. Left bent, the car pulls to one side, eats tires, and will not protect you the same way in the next crash.
We mount the car on a frame rack and measure it against the manufacturer’s factory dimensions. Then we pull the structure back into spec, anchor by anchor, and re-measure until the numbers match. Panel gaps line back up, the car tracks straight, and the engineered crumple zones are restored. This is the part of auto frame repair that separates a real structural fix from a cosmetic one, and it is why we do not skip the rack on anything with structural damage.
What happens after you bring the car in
Accident repair is a sequence, and skipping a step is how problems get buried. Here is how we work, start to finish.
Free estimate
Bring the car by and we look it over, talk through what you are seeing, and give you a written estimate at no charge. No appointment needed for a first look.
Teardown
We disassemble the damaged area before the repair plan is final, so hidden structural and mechanical damage surfaces now instead of mid-repair.
Structure & panels
Frame and unibody get pulled and measured back to spec on the rack. Panels are straightened or replaced, then aligned to factory gaps.
Paint & reassembly
We color-match to your factory code, blend so it disappears, reassemble, recalibrate sensors as needed, and hand back a car that drives like it did.

Questions after a collision.
No. Where your car gets repaired is your call, not the insurer's. A suggested shop is just a suggestion. You can choose us and we will work with your carrier from there.
We disassemble the damaged area before we write the final repair plan, so hidden structural and mechanical damage surfaces early instead of mid-repair. What we find, we document and walk you through.
We use OEM parts on request and recommend them where fit and safety depend on it. If your policy or budget calls for aftermarket or recycled parts, we will tell you straight where that is fine and where it is not, so you make the call with the full picture.
They will. Cameras and radar behind bumpers, mirrors, and the windshield drive lane-keeping, blind-spot, and automatic braking. When a repair disturbs them, we make sure those systems are recalibrated so they read the road correctly again before your car leaves.
A bent frame is usually repairable. We mount the car on a frame rack, measure it against the manufacturer's factory dimensions, and pull the structure back into spec. Whether it is worth repairing comes down to the extent of the damage versus the value of the car, which the estimate and your carrier sort out. A bent frame by itself does not mean the car is done.
It depends on the damage, parts availability, and how fast the insurer approves the work. A bumper or single panel can be quick. Structural and frame repair on a hard hit takes longer because we tear it down, measure, pull, re-measure, and paint properly rather than rush it. We will give you a realistic timeline with your estimate and keep you posted if parts hold things up.
