From minor fender benders to major structural impacts, Englewood Auto Body restores your vehicle to pre-accident condition. Our I-CAR certified technicians handle everything from airbag replacement to full frame correction, and we manage your insurance claim from first call to final inspection.
After a collision, document the scene with photos, exchange insurance information, and file a claim with your insurance carrier. You have the legal right in Colorado to choose any licensed repair shop - your insurer cannot require you to use their preferred network. Once you choose us, bring your vehicle in or have it towed to our shop at 2902 S Broadway in Englewood and we take it from there.
We begin with a comprehensive damage assessment, documenting all visible and hidden damage with photos and written notes. We write a complete repair estimate and submit it to your insurer. Once approved, we order parts, complete any structural corrections using our computerized measuring system, perform body work, refinish, and conduct a final quality inspection before returning your vehicle.
Many collisions cause damage that is not visible to the naked eye. Our computerized laser measuring system identifies frame and unibody misalignment to within 1mm of factory specification. Undetected structural damage compromises your vehicle's ability to protect occupants in a future accident. We correct it completely before any cosmetic work begins.
We work directly with all major insurance carriers including State Farm, Allstate, GEICO, Progressive, Farmers, USAA, and Nationwide. We document all damage, submit estimates, request supplements when initial estimates are insufficient, and handle adjuster communication throughout the process. You pay your deductible - we handle everything else.
Collisions that deploy airbags require replacement of the airbag modules and often the clock spring, seat belt pretensioners, and occupant sensors. Advanced driver assistance systems including lane departure, automatic braking, and blind spot monitoring also require recalibration after certain repairs. We ensure every safety system is properly restored before your vehicle leaves our shop.

Everything you need to know before you bring your vehicle in.
No. In Colorado, you have the legal right to choose any licensed repair facility. Your insurance company may suggest preferred shops, but they cannot require you to use them. Choose a shop based on their certifications, reputation, and warranty - not insurer preference. We work with all carriers regardless of whether we are on their preferred list.
If your insurer determines the repair cost exceeds the vehicle's value, they may declare it a total loss. We can provide detailed repair documentation to support your case if you believe the settlement is too low. If the vehicle is repairable, we will complete a full repair. If it is totaled, we assist you in understanding your options and connect you with resources for your next vehicle.
Minor collision repairs typically take 3 to 5 business days. Moderate damage involving structural work, multiple panels, or airbag replacement takes 7 to 14 days. Major damage can take longer depending on parts availability and scope. We provide a realistic completion estimate upfront and communicate any changes during the repair.
Yes, if repaired correctly. Our technicians use computerized measuring equipment to confirm structural alignment, replace all safety components that were damaged or deployed, and recalibrate ADAS systems. We do not return a vehicle until every safety system is functioning as designed. A properly repaired vehicle is as safe as it was before the accident.
A supplement is an additional estimate submitted to your insurer when technicians discover damage during the repair that was not visible during the initial assessment - often found when panels are removed or disassembly reveals hidden damage. Supplements are a normal part of the repair process. We file them directly with your insurer on your behalf.
Yes. Many modern vehicles use aluminum body panels and structural components that require different repair techniques than traditional steel. Our technicians receive specific training on aluminum repair, and we have the dedicated tools required to work with aluminum without causing galvanic corrosion or heat distortion.
