I recently got my Kia Telluride and within 3 weeks it was already hit - by a kid on a scooter!!! The scratch/dent was deep enough that I needed to get it fixed - and IMMEDIATELY.

I originally went to the KIA certified shop and was quoted $2100 for them to fix it. I thought that was way too high. The damage was bad and I knew it needed to be re-painted but the estimate seemed way too high. I shopped around a few places and finally came to Auto Advantage.

My biggest concern was finding a place that could match the unique green of my vehicle. Maria was super friendly and assured me that everything would be fine. Also, the quote was about half of what I was initially quoted, so I thought that was more justified.

Overall, I am VERY happy with the results. They took it in Monday, started work on Tuesday and it was ready to me by EOD Thursday. It was a quick turnaround and you can’t even tell that it was worked on! Thank you!!!

My car was repaired here after a winter bang up. When I picked it up, it was better than when I bought it. Amazing attention to detail. Cleaned inside and out. Easy communication through the repair. They handled all of the insurance headache. The employees are friendly and quick to help!

Exceptional customer service from start to finish! Communication was outstanding every step of the process, and the turnaround time was incredibly fast. I had my vehicle repaired and back on the road within just a few days.

The team also helped me navigate the insurance claim, making what could have been a stressful experience feel seamless and hassle-free. Their professionalism, efficiency, and attention to detail truly exceeded my expectations.

I highly recommend Auto Advantage Collision to anyone in need of quality collision repair. They have definitely earned my trust, and I'll be recommending them to everyone I know!

On a very personal note they even preserved my Wonder Woman Emblem on the back of my hatch! That was extra special for me, Gracias

I wasn’t looking for the cheapest price but I know I saved money going to auto advantage. They were also very transparent and didn’t miss any details.

The turnaround was quicker than expected. Thank you.

I had an outstanding experience with this collision shop from start to finish. The quality of their work was absolutely amazing, and my vehicle came out looking better than I could have imagined. The entire staff was professional, friendly, and genuinely cared about making sure I was taken care of. What stood out the most was how trustworthy and honest they were throughout the entire process. They kept me informed, answered all my questions, and made what could have been a stressful experience feel completely seamless. The shop has great vibes, an awesome team, and you can tell they take pride in what they do. I highly recommend this shop to anyone needing collision or body repair. Excellent work, great people, and an experience you can feel good about!

Normally dealing with dealing with insurance companies and body shops is a headache. This has been the easiest situation I’ve ever dealt with in life with my car. They had a loaner car waiting for me Upon my arrival and called me less than a week later to pick up my car and not only was it done perfectly they even detailed it for me

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear, honest answers about our repair availability, shop hours, estimating, and turnaround times.

Can you take a look at my car?

Yes, absolutely. Our shop is open Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. You can stop by anytime during open hours, or book a free estimate right here on our website.

What is your availability for an appointment?

We take appointments Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM. You can choose the exact day and time slot that works best for you right on our online booking form.

How much will the repair cost?

Every car and accident is different. Some cars just need small scratch touch ups, while others need replacement panels or frame realignment. Looking at your car in person lets us write an exact, honest price before any work begins.

Do I have the right to choose my own repair shop in Michigan?

Yes, 100%. Under Michigan law, you have the full legal right to pick whatever repair shop you trust. Your insurance company cannot force you to use their shop. You choose us, and we handle everything directly with them.

Do you handle the insurance claim paperwork for me?

Yes, we do all the heavy lifting. We send photos and estimates to your insurance company, speak directly with their adjusters, and make sure all necessary repairs are approved and paid for without headache.

How does deductible financing work if I do not want to pay all at once?

If you have an insurance deductible like $500 or $1,000, we partner with Snap Finance and Sunbit so you can split that cost into simple monthly payments. You can prequalify in seconds with 0% interest options so you never have to delay repairs.

How long will it take to get the work done?

It is usually a couple days for parts to arrive, a couple days to fix the metal body panels, and a couple days to paint and bake the finish. Most repairs take between 5 to 10 business days from start to finish.

Do you give a warranty on repairs and paint?

Yes. All of our structural body repairs and computer matched paint work come with a written lifetime warranty. For as long as you own your vehicle, our work is protected.
