I-CAR Gold Class Structural Repair OEM Certified Ford · Honda · Nissan ADAS Recalibration Lifetime Warranty
Complete Collision Repair

Rebuilt to Factory Spec — Not Just Made to Look Right

A modern vehicle is an engineered safety cage of high-strength steel, aluminum and boron reinforcements designed to absorb and channel crash energy away from you. When that structure is damaged, it has to be repaired to the automaker's exact specification — or the car may look perfect and still fail to protect you in the next collision.

Kelly's has performed certified structural repairs since 1979. We combine computerized frame measuring, factory repair procedures and OEM parts so your vehicle leaves our shop straight, safe and sound — with the fit, finish and crash performance it had the day it was built.

Every repair is documented for your insurer and backed by our lifetime workmanship warranty. Pair collision work with our auto paint & refinishing for a flawless, factory-match finish.

What Our Collision Repair Includes

Computerized Frame & Unibody Straightening

Laser and electronic measuring systems map your vehicle against factory dimensions to the millimeter, and our frame benches pull damaged structure back to precise OEM spec — the foundation of a safe, well-fitting repair.

Structural & MIG/Resistance Welding

Rails, aprons and reinforcements are sectioned and welded using the automaker's approved methods and materials, so the repaired structure carries crash energy exactly as engineered.

Panel Repair & Replacement

Doors, fenders, quarter panels, hoods and bumpers are repaired when possible and replaced when necessary — with tight, factory-consistent panel gaps and alignment.

Genuine OEM Parts

We prioritize manufacturer parts engineered for your exact vehicle to preserve fit, corrosion protection, crash performance and resale value — and we'll advocate with your insurer for the right parts.

ADAS Recalibration

Forward cameras, radar, blind-spot and lane-keep sensors must be recalibrated after collision work. We restore your advanced driver-assist systems to factory tolerances so they see and respond correctly.

Safety-System Restoration

Airbags, seatbelt pretensioners, sensors and wiring are inspected, restored or replaced so your vehicle's full occupant-protection system is ready to work when it matters most.

Our Repair Process

From Wreck to Right — Step by Step

Estimate & Assessment

We inspect the damage in person, disassemble as needed to find hidden structural harm, and build a complete, documented estimate — free and with no obligation.

Insurance Coordination

We work directly with your carrier, supplement for hidden damage, and advocate for a proper, complete repair rather than the cheapest shortcut.

Structural Repair

Frame and unibody are measured and pulled to factory spec, panels are repaired or replaced, and structural welds are made using OEM procedures.

Refinish & Blend

Repaired areas are primed, color-matched to your factory code and refinished in our downdraft booth for an invisible, durable finish.

Recalibrate & Reassemble

ADAS sensors are recalibrated, safety systems verified, and the vehicle reassembled and road-tested for correct operation.

Quality Check & Delivery

A final multi-point inspection, detailed clean-up and a warranty walkthrough — then your keys back and a car that looks and drives like new.
