Shelbyville is the county seat of Bedford County, south of Murfreesboro along US-231, and home of the Tennessee Walking Horse National Celebration. Shelbyville drivers who want a dedicated collision shop can bring accident damage, dents, paint and bumper repairs to our location in Berry Hill.
Because Shelbyville is a longer drive from our shop, the repair starts at home: send photos with an estimate request, and we will tell you what the repair is likely to involve before you make the trip. Many Shelbyville drivers plan the drop-off around a day they are already heading to Murfreesboro or Nashville.
Damage we see from Shelbyville drivers
- Deer strikes on rural Bedford County roads, especially at dawn and dusk
- Trailer and hitch damage: dents, scrapes and cracks on rear bumpers from pulling horse and livestock trailers
- Highway damage from US-231 and US-41A: rock chips and rear-end impacts
- Storm damage from hail and falling limbs
Rear bumper and hitch damage
Jackknifing a trailer while backing up, or a tongue that swings into the bumper, leaves dents, scrapes and cracks right where they are hardest to see. A rear bumper cover that looks only scraped can have broken mounting clips or a damaged parking sensor behind it. Many plastic bumper covers can be repaired and refinished rather than replaced. Read plastic bumper repair or replacement and see bumper repair.
Animal strikes and hidden damage
A deer strike can damage far more than the bumper: the grille, headlights, hood, radiator support and the brackets behind them. Watch for warning lights, leaks, a hood that does not close evenly or headlights that aim differently. Our collision repair page lists the signs, and what to do after an accident covers the claim.
Dent repair for Shelbyville drivers
Keeping the original finish
Small, shallow dents with unbroken paint can often be worked back into shape from behind the panel without repainting.
Large dents and creases
Deep dents, sharp creases along body lines and dents with chipped paint are reshaped, primed, refinished and blended.
See dent removal.
Hail, scratches and paint
Hail leaves shallow dents across the roof, hood and trunk lid; look along each panel at a low angle in daylight and photograph it the same way. Hail is usually covered under comprehensive coverage rather than collision; read what to do about hail damage. Light scuffs in the clear coat can often be polished out, while deeper scratches are refinished and blended; see paint and refinishing.
Protecting your vehicle’s value
Dings, chips and scratches lower trade-in and resale value, and chipped paint can let rust start on bare metal. Repairing small damage early keeps the vehicle looking cared for.

Frequently asked questions
Is your shop in Shelbyville?
No. Our shop is at 2799 Foster Ave in Berry Hill. Shelbyville drivers can start online with photos and plan the trip once we have talked about the repair.
Can I get an estimate without driving from Shelbyville?
You can start one. Upload photos with our online estimate request and we will contact you. A final estimate usually needs an in-person look, because damage behind panels does not show in photos.
Do you offer mobile dent repair in Shelbyville?
Repairs are done at our Berry Hill shop, where the vehicle can be inspected properly and the right tools and lighting are on hand.
I backed my horse trailer into my bumper. Can that be repaired?
Usually. Rear bumper covers and the area around the hitch take a lot of this kind of damage. Send photos of the bumper and the area underneath it, and we will tell you whether it can be repaired or needs replacing.
Can I combine the repair with a trip to Murfreesboro or Nashville?
Yes. Tell us your schedule in the estimate request or call us, and we will talk about a drop-off time that works.
