Complete Collision Body Repair

From fender-benders to major accidents, our team handles every stage of the repair process.

Frame & Structural Repair

A collision can compromise your vehicle's frame even when the damage isn't obvious from the outside. Hidden structural damage affects how your car handles, how safely it protects you in a future accident, and whether it can pass inspection. Our team uses certified equipment to measure and restore your vehicle's frame to factory specifications — so it's not just straight, it's safe. We don't cut corners on structural work, because your safety depends on getting it right.

Body Work & Dent Removal

From minor fender damage to significant panel work, our technicians repair collision damage with the skill and attention to detail that comes from decades of hands-on experience. We work on all makes and models, and we take the time to do the job properly — so the repaired area blends seamlessly and your vehicle drives the way it did before the accident. No shortcuts, no mismatched finishes, no unresolved issues handed back to you.

Paint & Finish

A great repair job is only complete when you can't tell the repair was ever done. We use state-of-the-art paint matching technology to blend the new finish with your vehicle's existing color — regardless of age, fading, or unique factory tones. Our paint work is approved by major insurance carriers, which means the quality meets the standard insurers require and you can expect a result that holds up over time.

Glass & Component Replacement

Broken windshields, damaged mirrors, and shattered lights aren't just cosmetic — they're safety issues that need to be addressed before you're back on the road. We handle fast, accurate replacement of glass and exterior components as part of a complete repair, so you're not making separate appointments at separate shops. One stop, one team, fully road-ready when it leaves our bay.

From the Scene to the shop - One call handles it all

Our 24/7 towing team can respond to your accident scene, recover your vehicle safely, and bring it directly to our collision shop — where the same trusted team handles your repairs from start to finish.

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to use the shop my insurance company recommends?

No. In Michigan, you have the legal right to choose any licensed repair shop after an accident. Your insurance company may suggest a preferred shop, but that choice is always yours. At Legacy, we work directly with all major carriers regardless of which company you're insured with.

What does "insurance-approved" mean?

It means our repair process and quality standards meet the requirements set by major insurance carriers. When a shop is insurance-approved, your insurer recognizes the work without requiring additional inspections or negotiations over the scope of repairs — which makes the claims process faster and smoother for you.

Will my vehicle be as safe as it was before the accident?

That's the goal of every repair we do. Structural and frame repairs are performed to factory specifications using certified equipment. We don't consider a repair complete until your vehicle meets the safety and performance standards it left the manufacturer with.

What if my car needs towing to your shop?

We've got you covered. Legacy operates 24/7 towing and recovery services, so we can respond to your location, recover your vehicle, and bring it directly to our collision shop. You don't need to arrange a separate tow — one call handles everything.

Do you handle both the insurance claim and the repairs?

Yes. We work directly with your insurance adjuster, handle the required documentation, and communicate on your behalf throughout the repair process. Our goal is to keep you out of the middle and get your vehicle back to you as quickly and correctly as possible.

Can you repair all makes and models?

Yes. Our collision repair team works on domestic and foreign vehicles across all makes and models.

What types of damage do you repair?

We handle everything from minor dents and paint damage to major collision repairs, including frame and structural damage, full panel replacement, glass replacement, and paint refinishing. If you're not sure whether your damage qualifies, call us at (269) 945-7777 and we'll take a look.
