Whether you’re driving a Chevrolet Silverado, Equinox, Malibu, or Traverse — getting into an accident can be a stressful experience. At The Collision Shop of Brownstown, we’ve repaired hundreds of Chevys over the years, and we know exactly what kinds of issues these vehicles tend to face after a crash. In this blog, we’ll break down the most common types of accident damage to Chevrolet vehicles and how our team fixes them quickly, professionally, and with a lifetime warranty.
If you’re in Brownstown, MI, or nearby cities like Taylor, Woodhaven, Trenton, Southgate, or Romulus, this guide will help you understand what to expect and how to get your Chevy back on the road — looking and driving like new.
1. Front-End Damage: Bumpers, Hoods & Grilles
One of the most common types of damage we see in Chevrolet vehicles is front-end collision damage. The bumper, hood, grille, and headlights take the brunt of the impact in most low to mid-speed accidents.
🔧 How We Fix It:
- We inspect for hidden damage behind the bumper cover, including the impact bar and frame rails.
- If the damage is limited to cosmetic parts, we can replace or refinish the bumper and match the paint to factory specs.
- For more serious impacts, we use frame-straightening equipment and OEM replacement parts.
2. Rear-End Collisions: Trunks & Tail Lights
Rear-end collisions can crumple a Chevy’s trunk area, damage tail lights, or misalign the rear bumper.
🔧 How We Fix It:
- We assess alignment issues and check the trunk latch, frame, and suspension components.
- All damaged panels are either repaired or replaced depending on severity.
- We ensure tail lights are functional and correctly wired.
3. Door & Side Panel Damage
Chevys involved in side-impact crashes often have dents or creases in doors and quarter panels. Even minor accidents in a parking lot can leave ugly dents.
🔧 How We Fix It:
- For minor dents, we use paintless dent repair (PDR) to avoid repainting.
- In deeper impacts, we replace the affected panel and blend the paint seamlessly with surrounding areas.
- We realign doors to ensure they open and close smoothly.
4. Frame Damage
If you were involved in a high-speed crash, especially in a larger model like a Silverado or Tahoe, frame damage is possible — and dangerous if not handled properly.
🔧 How We Fix It:
- Our computerized frame measuring system detects even slight misalignments.
- Using frame-straightening equipment, we return your Chevy to factory specs.
- We double-check suspension geometry and steering components for safety.
5. Broken Glass & Windshields
After an accident, broken windshields, windows, and even sunroofs are common. Sharp impacts can also leave cracks that spread over time.
🔧 How We Fix It:
- We install OEM-quality glass replacements with precision.
- Our team ensures proper sealing and calibration of safety systems like lane assist or rain sensors.
- Fast turnaround, often same-day for glass jobs.
6. Paint Damage & Scratches
Chevy’s paint holds up well, but accidents can lead to chipped paint, deep scratches, or total panel repainting needs.
🎨 How We Fix It:
- Our paint shop uses a digital color-matching system to replicate your vehicle’s exact factory color.
- We use bake ovens for proper curing and long-lasting results.
- All paint work comes with a lifetime warranty against peeling or fading.
We Work with All Insurance Providers
We understand that dealing with insurance can be just as frustrating as the accident itself. That’s why we offer full support in handling your insurance claim. We’ll work directly with your provider to ensure a smooth and hassle-free process. In many cases, we can even cover your deductible, so you pay less out of pocket.
