Casey Collision Center vs. Body Shop

When your vehicle needs repair, how do you know whether to take it to a collision center or a body shop? Does it make a difference? Casey Volkswagen explains how the Casey Collision Center differs, and how we can help get you back on the road quickly if the worst happens.

Scope of Work

Broadly speaking, a collision center can do anything a body shop can, but the reverse isn’t necessarily true. A body shop focuses on surface damage, such as dents, scratches, and complete paint jobs. It can also replace panels so they fit correctly and match the vehicle’s original design or replace damaged car windows and mirrors. However, the Casey Collision Center takes a more comprehensive approach.
