Center Collision operates a premier auto body shop in Tacoma that coordinates directly with all major insurance carriers to eliminate administrative delays. Established in 1995 by Kevin and Debbie House, our family-owned facility supports drivers commuting along the I-5 corridor, State Route 16, and arterial roads near Center Street and South Tacoma Way.

Whether you visit our main collision center on Center Street or our dedicated EV repair facility on South 58th Street, we follow exact manufacturer guidelines for your repairs.
We provide complete vehicle restoration spanning computerized frame diagnostics, factory-grade refinishing, body panel repair, and ADAS sensor calibration. Every service adheres strictly to original manufacturer protocols to rebuild your vehicle to factory safety specifications.
Severe impacts require precision diagnostics and specialized alignment equipment to correct hidden frame shifts. We utilize computerized measuring systems to verify that load-bearing structures match factory crash-safety dimensions. Our team performs heavy collision repair in Tacoma WA, to restore structural strength and vehicle balance accurately.
Dents, deep scrapes, and distorted panels compromise your vehicle’s protective shell and aesthetic finish. We employ targeted panel manipulation techniques to erase surface depressions and reshape damaged thermoplastic bumpers. For parking dings or hail damage, our technicians reshape panels efficiently without unnecessary structural alterations.
Applying a flawless paint finish requires controlled atmospheric conditions and exact formula mixing. Our refinishing specialists utilize computerized paint-matching technology and climate-controlled paint booths to match factory base-coat and clear-coat layers. This precise process ensures new paint blends seamlessly into surrounding original panels.
Modern driver-assist features depend on perfectly aligned sensor networks to operate safely on the road. Following structural or body panel work, we execute precise recalibrations for onboard radar, camera arrays, and safety sensors. This critical step ensures lane-departure warnings and automated braking systems respond exactly as engineered.
