Auto body repair

Auto body repair addresses the visible damage your vehicle sustains in a collision. Dented panels, damaged bumpers, broken exterior components, and compromised trim all fall within what Ed’s Collision 1 handles as part of a complete repair. We work to the manufacturer’s specifications for your specific make, which means the materials we use and the methods we apply are matched to how your vehicle was built. This matters more with modern vehicles than most drivers expect.

Collision repair

Collision repair goes deeper than what is visible after an impact. Structural integrity, frame alignment, and safety system function all need to be evaluated and restored for a vehicle to be considered properly repaired. Ed’s Collision 1 performs complete collision repairs according to manufacturer procedures for each certified make we work on, addressing both the visible damage and the structural condition underneath it.

Insurance claim assistance

The insurance process after a collision can be confusing and time-consuming. Ed’s Collision 1 helps customers through it from the first call through final delivery. We communicate directly with your insurance carrier, help you understand your coverage, and handle the back-and-forth so the repair process does not become a second job. Our goal is to make this as straightforward as possible for you.

Hail damage repair

Hail damage repair
Hail damage requires an accurate assessment before choosing the right repair approach. For damage where the paint surface is intact, paintless dent repair is typically the fastest and most cost-effective option. For panels where the finish has been broken, conventional repair and refinishing restore the vehicle to its original appearance. Ed’s Collision 1 evaluates each vehicle individually and recommends the approach that makes sense for the actual damage, not a default method.

Paintless Dent Repair

Paintless dent repair

Paintless Dent Repair
Paintless dent repair is the right option for dents and dings that have not cracked the paint surface. Using specialized tools, our technicians carefully reshape the damaged panel without the need for paint, filler, or extensive disassembly. The result is a clean, undetectable repair that preserves the original factory finish and is typically completed faster than conventional methods.

Auto glass repair

Auto Glass Repair
Auto glass repair and replacement at Ed’s Collision 1 is handled with the same attention to manufacturer requirements that applies to the rest of our work. For vehicles with driver assistance systems mounted at or behind the windshield, we ensure those systems are functioning correctly after the glass is replaced. A glass repair that leaves your safety technology uncalibrated is not a complete repair. We make sure it is.

I-CAR Gold Class certification

Ed’s Collision 1 holds I-CAR Gold Class shop certification, and the technicians here carry I-CAR Platinum certifications. I-CAR Gold Class is not a static credential. It requires ongoing training as vehicle construction, materials, and repair technology evolve. A shop that holds it is committed to keeping pace with how modern vehicles are actually built and what it takes to repair them correctly.

For drivers bringing in a vehicle from one of our OEM certified brands, that means a team trained by the manufacturer and trained by I-CAR working on your vehicle at the same time. That combination is not something every shop can offer.

Every repair at Ed’s Collision 1 is backed by a limited lifetime warranty on repair work and paint for as long as you own the vehicle. Parts are covered according to the applicable manufacturer warranty. The warranty applies to every service we perform.

We work with most major insurance carriers and help customers through the claim process from start to finish. Call us before you call your insurer if you are unsure where to begin. We will help you understand your options.
