New vehicles are more advanced than ever, sophisticated features come at a price—namely, higher repair costs after accidents. The average cost to repair collision damage has increased by 36% since 2018. New SUVs, pickup trucks, and electric vehicles, in particular, are becoming increasingly complex. Many components, including bumpers with embedded safety sensors, often require replacement instead of repair. Repairing electric vehicles also presents a unique set of challenges due to their engineering and the parts they use—as well as a shortage of mechanics who are properly trained in their repairs. In an era where automotive technology is advancing at an exponential rate, it’s become increasingly vital to choose a repair shop that specializes in original equipment manufacturer (OEM) repairs and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) calibration. At European Collision Center, we recognize the importance of staying up to date with the latest advancements and hold OEM certifications for Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Porsche, Rivian, and Tesla, however, all makes and models are welcome and receive the same high-quality repairs and meticulous attention to detail.
