Services
Collision Repair
Our collision repair service restores vehicles to pre-accident condition using OEM parts and manufacturer-recommended procedures. We handle all damage types from minor fender benders to major structural repairs. Our I-CAR Gold Class technicians utilize advanced equipment for frame straightening and paint matching technology for seamless finishes.
Paintless Dent Repair
This specialized technique removes dents without repainting by carefully massaging damaged panels from the underside. It preserves original factory paint while restoring vehicle appearance. Ideal for hail damage and minor door dings, this method offers faster turnaround times compared to traditional bodywork.
Bumper Repair
We repair both plastic and metal bumpers using specialized techniques for modern composite materials. Our process maintains structural integrity while restoring aesthetics. Most repairs complete same-day with cost savings compared to full replacements and include environmental benefits through reduced waste.
Auto Detailing
Our detailing services restore vehicles to like-new condition through comprehensive interior and exterior cleaning. We use professional-grade products for paint correction, fabric protection, and odor elimination. Services range from quick touch-ups to full detailing packages including engine bay cleaning and headlight restoration.
Hail Damage Repair
Specialized hail damage specialists address dents, cracked glass, and paint damage caused by severe weather. We employ both paintless dent repair techniques and conventional methods for complex damage. Our team coordinates with insurance providers to streamline claims processing for storm-related vehicle damage.

Can I choose Arizona Collision Center even if my insurance suggests another shop?

Do you use original manufacturer parts for repairs?
We exclusively use OEM parts to maintain vehicle integrity and safety. This ensures proper fit and long-term durability compared to aftermarket alternatives.
What is paintless dent repair and when is it appropriate?
This technique removes dents without repainting by accessing panels from behind. It works best for minor damage with intact paint, offering faster turnaround times and preserving factory finishes.
How do you handle insurance claims?
We assist with all insurance paperwork and communicate directly with providers. Our documentation process ensures proper compensation for repairs while protecting your consumer rights.

Called rob at arizona collision center. His team had the car from the tow yard to there shop within hours. Had damage assessed and turned into insurance really fast. They waited patiently while insurance battled it out. As soon as they decided it was totaled rob could've been done. But he went way above and beyond. He helped me until the end. He helped me get more money for the car than what was offered and took care of everything. He made a very stressful situation go so smooth and took a huge weight off my shoulders!

Took my 2015 Tundra in for a chrome delete. They did an awesome job. They also renewed my headlights and clear coated them, and removed my side stickers. Arizona Collision Center went above and beyond and helped me get my truck to the bedliner shop as well. You will not be dissapointed.

Finding a great paint shop is tough so when I need paint work done I send my vehicles and my customers to the best in town. Rob, Ben, and the whole crew do amazing work and are professionals. I can't count the number of vehicles Arizona Collision Center has painted for me and they always provide excellent service. I have referred them many times over and my customers have always been happy and raved about them as well.

When you're in a wreck, you want any help and convenience you can get. AZ Collision Center delivers convenience, communication, and competency. I was hit from behind and needed some bumper and exhaust work done to get my less than a year old car back like new. AZ Collision Center was amazing during the whole process. I had follow-up from the mechanic Joe and even the owner, Rob, who made me feel like they had a personal interest in helping me.
Besides this, they had text/email updates where I could keep track of the process on my time incredibly conveniently. Without a doubt, working with AZ Collision Center was the easiest part of this process as they were easier to get in contact with than even my own insurance company.
Continuing the trend of excellence, AZ Collision Center proved that they weren't all talk and followed through with amazing workmanship.
My car looked absolutely perfect when I got it back and all the attaching lives were tight and even and the exhaust looked and sounded perfectly stock. They finished up the package with a beautiful detailing that even put the new car smell back in. I hope I never needed another collision center in my life, but if I do, there is only one place I'm going.

I was rear ended and didnt know what to do since i had never been in an accident before. Arizona collision center took control from the very beginning. They helped me get my car over to their shop, handled everything with the insurance companies, and made my suburban look better than it did before it was hit. They kept in constant contact with me through the whole process even if it was just to tell me they were on schedule with completion. I would definatly recommend them to everyone i know who needs reliable and honest work done.

Got a problem? Ask for Ben and he'll hook you up with the best deal and treat you like an actual person. Don't waste your time going to all of these other places with their bullshit talk and their brand name parts that mean absolutely nothing
If you want your car fixed the best way possible with minimal hassle, this is the place to go

Love the attention to detail everyone at this facility provides. The staff is honest and doesn't jerk you around. They turn the vehicles around without delay, getting me and my friends back in our cars/trucks when they say they will. Been dealing with the owners (The Stringers) for many many years and even while living out of state Rob has researched body shops in my area for any work that I can't get to AZ to fix (who does that??) Rob has earned my business years ago and I will continue to send referrals his way because of the time, concern and loyalty he puts into the repairs and exceptional customer service!!

In my business referrals are everything and I take them very seriously, when i give them out because it is my reputation, so when i tell you Arizona Collision Center is the Best I mean it and I have the experiences to support what i am saying. BTW i have been referring Rob buisness for 10 plus years and I will continue to do so.
