La Vergne is a city in Rutherford County between Nashville and Smyrna, and many of its drivers spend time on busy interstate and commercial routes. When that leads to collision damage, our Berry Hill shop is set up for exactly that kind of repair.
With I-24 and Murfreesboro Road running through town and a lot of distribution and freight traffic, La Vergne drivers share the road with plenty of trucks. That shows up in the damage we see: rear-end impacts in slowdowns, sideswipes during lane changes and rock chips across the front of the vehicle.
After an accident
Get somewhere safe, report the accident as required, exchange information and take photos. Then notify your insurer, or decide to pay yourself if the damage is minor. Our insurance claims guide walks through each step.
Interstate damage: chips, sideswipes and rear-end impacts
- Rock chips. Small chips on the hood, bumper and mirrors are easy to ignore, but chips that reach bare metal can rust. They can be touched up or the panel refinished.
- Sideswipes. Long scrapes and dents along doors and quarter panels, often with a damaged mirror.
- Rear-end impacts. Bumper covers, reinforcements, tail lights and trunk lids, sometimes with damage that does not show until the bumper is removed.
Dent repair near La Vergne
Not every repair is an accident. Door dings in parking lots, dents from loading cargo and creases from a minor bump all count. Small, shallow dents with unbroken paint can often be worked back into shape without repainting, keeping the original finish. Larger dents, creases on body lines and dents with damaged paint are reshaped and refinished. See dent removal.
Hail and storm dents
After a hailstorm, walk around the vehicle and look along each panel at a low angle; the reflection shows dents that are invisible straight on. Photograph them the same way for your estimate request. Hail damage usually falls under comprehensive coverage, not collision.
Scuffs and plastic bumpers
A scuffed or cracked plastic bumper cover can often be repaired and refinished rather than replaced, as long as its mounting tabs and the parts behind it are intact. Light scuffs in the clear coat can often be polished out. Read about bumper repair and paint refinishing.

Frequently asked questions
Where do I bring my car?
All repairs are done at our shop at 2799 Foster Ave in Berry Hill. Start with the online estimate request and we will contact you about bringing the vehicle in.
The other driver was at fault. Which insurance do I call?
Usually you file with the other driver's insurer. Our insurance claims page explains the difference between your coverage and theirs; your insurer can confirm how your policy applies.
What photos help most?
One photo from each corner of the vehicle, then close-ups of every damaged area straight on and at an angle.
A truck kicked up a rock and chipped my hood. Is that worth fixing?
Yes. A chip that reaches bare metal can start to rust, and chips spread as they collect more. Small chips are a quick refinishing job; a hood covered in them may need to be refinished as a whole panel.
Can you repair dents from hail?
Yes, we repair dents, including hail dents. Send photos taken at a low angle so the dents show, and check your policy, since hail is usually covered under comprehensive coverage.
