Services
Auto body repair has been part our automotive dealerships since 1985. We started selling and repairing vehicles with one location, now with 6 locations in southeastern Ohio, the Don Wood Automotive family has grown thanks to your support. Our highly trained technicians work on hundreds of cars each year, and we truly enjoy the unique challenges that come from each auto body collision.
Our full auto body repair service includes ensuring that every inch of your vehicle is fixed, from the front end to the rear end, and everything in between. When we're done, you may not be able to tell the car was damaged. Regardless of the color your car once was, we have PPG color-matching specialists on our team who work to match any paint color precisely.
When you sustain damage as a result of a collision, it's important to bring it in to our competent technicians at Athens Collision Repair. We focus on your complete satisfaction as our customer, whether it's your first time bringing your vehicle to us or you've been a long time client of ours. We truly care about helping you get back on the road quickly with your car safely and properly repaired.
We believe in preserving our future. That is why we choose environmentally friendly products, including high performance automotive refinish coatings, from PPG. Envirobase High Performance represents the 3rd generation advancement of the innovative, waterborne technology that PPG first introduced in 1999.
One of the most common concerns that our customers have is in regards to the frame on their vehicle. Many people still believe that once a frame is bent, a vehicle cannot be returned to its original pre-accident condition. This is simply not true in most cases. All vehicle manufacturers have recommendations on the correct way to repair the frames on their vehicles.

Outstanding work! My 50th Anniversary Special-Edition Camaro needed repair after a license plate flew off of the car in front of me and sliced my front bumper in a few places. I have high standards for work done on my vehicle and I am very happy with the repair. I highly recommend Athens Collision Repair. Don't be discouraged by the other reviews for this business, I was initially concerned when I read the reviews but sitting in the lobby of the repair shop, I realized that the people with issues were upset because their car has been in the shop for weeks waiting for parts. Parts took a long time

They did a great job repairing my Ford Fusion after a minor accident. New door and rear panel but looks good as new. They handled the insurance stuff and made it easy for me. Service took a long time due to parts shortage but that’s not the fault of them. Friendly service too and they gave regular updates. Would recommend going here

3-day fender repair turned into a week. Then two weeks. Then three weeks. Still don't have the vehicle back. I call every few days because they do not provide updates.... each time the same story. We just got the parts, it will be ready in a few days. Next time - we just got the parts, it will be ready in a few days. Today - we just got the parts, putting it together. No idea when it might be ready. Take your business elsewhere.

I took my car into their shop on October 7th after having a collision. I was told my appointment wouldn’t be until a month later on November 23rd due to them being backed up. I never received calls or updates on what’s going on with my vehicle and always have to call them to track down information. Every call it’s we’re waiting on parts and stuff is back ordered. It’s now been 3 months since I initially dropped my car off and it’s still not done. I wouldn’t recommend this body shop to anyone. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else or have your car towed to another shop. Worst experience

Dealing with this shop was a nightmare. I left my car with them after it was in an accident and I had to leave town for a few days. I called them and left all my information about myself and the vehicle. When I returned and hadn’t received a call I reached out again and only then did they finally look at my car to give me an estimate. I accepted the estimate and they said they would get started the next week. Each time I called they told me they would have it done by the end of the week but, shortly thereafter, called me back to tell me they would in fact not be able to complete it that week

Took my car to them, was a preferred place for my insurance. I told the insurance I wanted to come to Athens Collision Repair. Took it in got an estimate the day the deer and I met on the road lol and was pretty quick. Chris was very nice. Did other paper work after and we were looking at appointments. He said well if I brought it in they could try to work on it in between other jobs. And a job that might take 1 week could b 2. I was very happy to get a call a week from the day I dropped it off saying it was done and ready to pick up :) and it looked like the day I brought the car home, Very Happy

I have had the absolute worst experience with dealing with this shop and the manager. They have had my car for 8 weeks. I have had the worst customer service throughout this entire process. I was in an automobile accident back in September and was advised by the insurance company to take it to this body shop. I wish I would have read the reviews and did my homework before agreeing for my vehicle to be taken there. I have called weekly and each time given the run around by Chris, or I would leave multiple voicemails and wouldn't hear back from him, then when I would finally get a call it would be

We recently had our car repaired at Athens Collision Repair, the manager and staff were courteous and professional. The manager answered our questions and ordered the parts quickly and our car was repaired on-time and looked great. Thank you for your wonderful service and commitment to your customers!
