About Us
A company is only as good as its staff. At Steelhead Collision our commitment is to maintain an impeccable track record of customer satisfaction.
Why us?
Most vehicles are built using unibody construction.(where the frame and body are one) At Steelhead Collision, we utilize "Chief" frame technology and a "Velocity" laser measurement system which is one of the most sophisticated diagnostic tools in the industry. This system allows us to repair vehicles to their original factory specifications.
Steelhead Collision Center also has the finest computerized color paint matching system available and constantly upgrades its technology. We utilize high quality Glasurit paint (there is a vast difference in paint quality) and downdraft bake capable spray paint booths that allow for dust free refinishing.
Our experienced and educated staff complement our state of the art equipment and facility. Steelhead Collision Center has I-Car trained technicians and ASE Collision certified staff. Please take a few minutes and learn more about us!
