We don't like to think about them, but automobile accidents do happen. Whether it is a fender bender in a parking lot or a major highway mishap, an auto accident is a traumatic experience.

While we hope the unthinkable never happens to you, the professionals at the ELCO Collision Repair Center are here to take the trauma out of automobile damage. Even if you haven't been involved in a traffic accident, extreme heat and cold and poor road conditions can wreak havoc on your automobile's finish. It may be time to restore some showroom sparkle back into your pride and joy.

Regardless of your vehicle's make or model, our new Collision Repair Center manager, Patty Ruder, will meet with you and provide a computerized estimate. They are well qualified in assessing what your vehicle needs and in working with your insurance company.

All of our technicians and painters have years of experience and are I-CAR certified. In automotive repair, hands-on experience is critical, because, as with an artist or a craftsman, the more familiar you are with the material, the better your skills become.

Backing up this exemplary staff is our state-of-the-art equipment, such as our Garmat down-draft paint booth and Chief frame-straightening machine. Superior equipment ensures fast and accurate repairs. You'll take a shine to the paint quality at the ELCO Collision Repair Center, as well. We are an authorized Dupont Assurance of Quality paint center, guaranteeing you the finest paint quality and matching.

Personnel and equipment are important, but so is customer service. "Being involved in an accident is aggravating enough," says Patty. "Our goal is to make a pleasant experience out of an unpleasant situation." Since we work closely with all major insurance companies, we are able to take the burden of auto damage off you by providing computerized estimates and overseeing every aspect of the repair process.

Should you require alternate transportation while your vehicle is in for repair, we offer Enterprise Rent-A-Car on site to make the process as easy and convenient as possible.

No matter what the make or model, our pride and attention to detail shine through in everything we do. You can reach Patty by calling (800) 792-1275 and asking for the Collision Repair Center.
