Questions people ask
What's the difference between auto body and collision repair?

An auto body shop is the building that does that work. Spanky's Collision Repair is the auto body shop at 3300 24th Ave in Hudsonville.
Do I have to use the shop my insurance company recommends?
No. Michigan leaves that choice with you. An adjuster may point at a "preferred" shop, sometimes firmly, but it is your car and your decision. Tell them where it is going and give us the claim number. We deal with them from that point on.
Is the estimate free?
Yes. Estimates are free and written, and we do them in person — a shop that prices a repair off a photo is guessing at what is behind the panel.
