Franklin is the county seat of Williamson County, and plenty of its drivers commute into Nashville every day. When a commute ends in a fender bender, our Berry Hill collision shop can repair the damage.
All repairs happen at our shop at 2799 Foster Ave in Berry Hill. For Franklin drivers, that often means dropping the vehicle off on the way into town. Start online with photos so you know what the repair involves before you plan the trip.
Commuter damage we see often
- Rear-end impacts in stop-and-go interstate traffic: bumper covers, reinforcements and tail lights
- Rock chips and scratches that have started to spread on the hood and front bumper
- Side scrapes from tight parking garages downtown
The I-65 corridor between Franklin and Nashville sees heavy rush-hour traffic, which is where many low-speed rear-end collisions happen. Even a minor bump can crack a bumper cover or break the clips and absorber behind it, so it is worth having the damage looked at.
Dent removal for Franklin drivers
Busy shopping areas like Cool Springs and the tight parking around downtown Franklin mean door dings and parking-lot dents. Dents come in all sizes, and the repair depends on the damage:
Keeping the original finish
Small, shallow dents with unbroken paint can often be worked back into shape from behind the panel without repainting.
When refinishing is needed
Deep dents, creases along body lines and dents with cracked or chipped paint are reshaped, primed, painted and blended.
See dent removal for how we approach each kind.
Hail and storm damage
Strong spring storms move through Williamson County most years. Hail leaves rows of shallow dents across the roof, hood and trunk lid, and falling limbs can dent and scratch panels. Photograph hail dents at a low angle so the reflection shows them. Hail is usually handled under comprehensive coverage rather than collision coverage; your insurer can confirm how your policy applies.
Scratch, scuff and plastic bumper repair
Scuffed bumper corners and scratched doors are common on vehicles parked in busy lots every day. Many plastic bumper covers can be repaired, refinished and refitted rather than replaced. Scratches are repaired by depth: polished when they are only in the clear coat, refinished and blended when they go deeper. Read about bumper repair and paint refinishing.
Protecting your vehicle’s value
Dings, chips and scratches lower what a vehicle is worth at trade-in or sale, and chipped paint can let rust start. Fixing small damage early keeps the vehicle looking cared for and avoids a bigger repair down the road.
