About 1st Class Collision

Our Story

1st Class Collision was born from a simple yet powerful vision: to create a business where vehicle owners could have their repairs performed by knowledgeable professionals who take genuine pride in their work and treat each vehicle with extraordinary care.

The name “1st Class Collision” was carefully chosen to reflect the level of service and experience we’re committed to providing. We believe it accurately represents both the top-tier repairs and the superior customer service that sets us apart. When you experience an accident, we want “1st Class Collision” to be the first name that comes to mind.

With over 20 years of automotive collision repair experience spanning nearly all makes and models, our founder has worked alongside countless insurance companies and tackled thousands of unique repair challenges. This extensive background has built the foundation for a collision repair shop that truly understands the intricacies of modern vehicle restoration.

Our Mission

At 1st Class Collision, our mission is to help people navigate the unfortunate circumstance of being involved in an accident by removing the stress, worry, and legwork from the equation.

What Sets Us Apart

As a family-owned business, our sole purpose is to provide above-satisfactory service to every customer. Your needs are our first priority, and the quality of our work is backed by a written warranty for as long as you own your vehicle.

Our approach to repairs is different because we prioritize clear, honest communication throughout the entire process. Before any work begins, you’ll receive a detailed explanation of what your vehicle needs—no surprises, no pressure. We even provide digital inspections with photos and videos so you can see what we’re seeing.

We invest in modern diagnostic tools and workflow systems to speed up repairs without sacrificing quality. This includes precision measuring systems, laser-guided frame machines, and paint-matching technologies. We strictly follow OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) guidelines and use OEM-approved parts whenever possible to maintain the integrity of your vehicle and keep warranties intact.

We maintain a rigorous training schedule to keep all technicians current with the latest developments in collision repair. Newer staff members receive on-the-job training from our more experienced workers, fostering a culture of learning, character-building, and community within the company. We also partner with training providers that offer classes and certifications in each facet of the repair process.

Our company culture is built on respect, teamwork, and a shared commitment to quality. We treat every team member like family, valuing their skills, input, and growth. Whether at the front desk or under the hood, we believe in open communication, mutual support, and doing the job right the first time.

We take pride in being honest with our customers and each other—no shortcuts, no upsells, just solid, reliable work.
