Our Services

Collision Repair


Factory-Spec Restoration, Every Time
Collision repair addresses frame deformation, door damage, body panel replacement, and bumper reconstruction after impact. Modern Collision restores vehicles from minor dents to major structural damage, working directly with your insurance carrier to coordinate the claim from estimate to approval. I-CAR Gold Class technicians. Lifetime warranty on all collision repair work.

Structural Vehicle Repair


Frame and unibody to OEM tolerance
Structural repair addresses frame rail damage, unibody deformation, and subframe misalignment from moderate to severe collisions. Modern Collision uses manufacturer-specified measuring systems and repair procedures to restore geometry within OEM tolerance before alignment and finishing. Computerized frame measurement on every structural repair.

Auto Paint Refinishing and Protection


Factory-Matched Color on Every Panel
Auto paint refinishing restores factory color after collision damage or surface wear. Modern Collision performs precise color matching, spot repair, and full repaints using professional-grade paint systems so repaired panels blend seamlessly with the original finish. Color match guaranteed, no visible difference between repaired and original panels.

Vehicle Diagnostics and ADAS Calibration


Required After Every Structural Repair
Modern vehicles carry radar, camera, and sensor systems that lose calibration after any collision or windshield replacement. Modern Collision uses OEM-level diagnostic tools to verify and recalibrate all safety systems, including lane departure warning, automatic emergency braking, and adaptive cruise control, before returning any vehicle. Both static and dynamic calibration are performed in-house.

Windshield and Glass Replacement


OEM Fit With ADAS Recalibration
Windshield and glass replacement restores structural integrity and clear sightlines after chips, cracks, or full breaks. Modern Collision installs safety-rated glass to OEM fit specifications and performs ADAS sensor recalibration where required after glass work. Recalibration completed in-house before vehicle return.

Bumper Repair


Front and Rear Impact Zone Restoration
Bumper repair covers plastic cover replacement or resurfacing, plus reinforcement bar inspection and replacement when needed. Modern Collision restores bumper geometry and finish to pre-loss condition. Lifetime warranty on all completed bumper repair work.

Paintless Dent Removal


Metal Correction Without Repainting
Paintless dent removal corrects smaller dents and dings by reshaping sheet metal back to factory contour. Modern Collision preserves the original factory paint when the dent has not cracked the clear coat, removing the cost and color-match risk of a full repaint. No repainting means no color-match risk and faster turnaround.

Auto Estimates

Estimates at Modern Collision cover visible impact damage and any hidden damage identified during teardown. Same-day estimates are available at the shop, and photo submissions can begin the review before a visit. Modern Collision coordinates directly with your insurance carrier once the estimate is finalized. No cost, no commitment required.
