hidden damage

Our Technicians are trained to spot ‘hidden damage’ caused by the collision. Ignoring hidden damage will result in future costly issues and compromise the safety of the repair.

We also take care of notifying your Insurance Carrier so they can schedule a re-inspection.

The staff at Starnes Collision Center is professional, kind and goes above and beyond what is expected. Casey and his staff saw some issues in our 2005 VW that needed to be addressed and repaired them at a very fair price. Their workmanship is impeccable! Thank you so much!

Casey Starnes runs a good company that is very skilled at repairing vehicles. My Mazda CX-50 was rear ended last year which meant the tailgate and rear bumper had to be replaced. The staff did a great job replacing those items. They do great work here!
