Our process includes frame realignment, panel replacement, and precision painting to restore vehicles to pre-accident condition. Customers benefit from direct insurance coordination and lifetime warranties on all repairs.

Dinged up my car pretty bad a few months ago. Look at the photo right now and you can't tell a single part where it was hit. They cleaned it so well it looked completely brand new when I got it back and I was so excited to drive it around. Extremely professional and they'll always make sure to take care of you. Let them handle the fix and will always make sure to keep you in the loop for any updates. Will infinitely and always recommend them from now on. Thank you all!

We brought our brand new Forester to Twins after the window and door were damaged in an accident. Twins were super friendly, very professional, and very quick in getting the car repaired. The car now looks like it did straight from the showroom floor. With our insurance (Geico) we were able to get a rental car from their location and drop off at their location which makes the process very simple. I wouldn't hesitate at all to bring my car to them again and will be recommending them to anyone I know who needs repair work done. Great service all around.

Wow, what a place. Was in the business years ago, and this place impressed me. Suv got hit In the left quarter parked in a garage, my insurance company provided a list of repair shops. After reviewing all the shops Twins was the most impressive. They live up to their 5 star rating. Had an appointment and was told 10 days, they did it in 9. Perfect job. Thanks Lucy and Rich, you are true professionals.

Excellent repair of a large dent and scratches on my Toyota Prius, panels and paint color are matched perfectly, looks brand new. The people in the office were great to work with. Very easy billing and payment process overall with GEICO. Would easily come back again if anything happens to my car. Repair took about 3 weeks.

It is very difficult to find an honest repair shop, after an extensive search I found this shop. I am extremely happy with the results. My car looked brand new when they were done. They are extremely honest and friendly. Lucy is awesome, she is always pleasant and easy to contact. After a horrible experience with another shop I am glad I found this one.

I used Twins Collision after someone hit my car in the back while I was parked and needed some bumper dents and front grill fixes and parts replacement. I'm so happy I found this place. Everything went so smoothly from the day I dropped the car in until the day I picked it up. My car looks like just came out of the dealership. Spotless. And the customer service is beyond words. very friendly, kept me informed all the time on car updates including sending updates to rental car company and insurance. I will totally recommend this place to my family and friends. Keep up the great work Twins Collision and thank you for making this process less stressful.
