Running a quick Google search for automotive service centers near Portland yields a whole lot of results, not only for service centers, but for automotive collision centers as well. You may be wondering what the difference is between a Honda service center and a collision center, and if both places can perform the same services.

What is a Collision Center?
Collision centers (also sometimes referred to as auto body shops) are where you would have your car towed to repair body damage after an accident that did not result in the vehicle being totaled. You would also go to a collision center for other major services like paint jobs, dent removal, glass replacements, and more.

Collision centers are staffed with technicians skilled in disassembly, structure repair, painting, reassembly, and detailing. A good collision center will have your car looking like new again, even if it suffered extensive damage.
