An exceptional vehicle deserves a considered repair.
The precision of a body line. The depth of a paint finish. The quiet confidence of a vehicle that feels right on the road. Every detail matters when your Land Rover has been damaged.
At The Collision Repair Shop, your repair begins with understanding the damage and explaining the work ahead. Whether you are dealing with a parking impact, damaged bumper, scratched door or a more substantial collision, we help you move from uncertainty to a clear repair plan.
Land Rover auto body and collision repair services.
A collision can affect appearance, structure, mechanical components and vehicle electronics. Your estimate should address the whole damage picture, including work that becomes visible after disassembly.
Dents, doors and exterior panels
Assessment of damaged doors, fenders, hoods, quarter panels, liftgates and body trim. Repair or replacement recommendations depend on material, damage location and applicable repair procedures.
More than a bumper cover
A bumper impact can involve brackets, absorbers, reinforcement, lighting, wiring and nearby sensors. Inspection helps distinguish cosmetic damage from components that need further attention.
A finish worthy of the vehicle
Premium Glasurit refinishing, color evaluation, surface preparation and blending where appropriate. Metallic, pearl and specialty finishes are reviewed individually before the paint plan is finalized.
A model-specific structural assessment
Structural damage requires attention to the vehicle's construction and permitted repair methods. Measuring, replacement and specialist requirements are evaluated before structural work is authorized.
Electronic systems deserve attention
Diagnostic scanning and evaluation of calibration requirements for affected cameras, radar and driver assistance systems. Required procedures depend on the vehicle and the specific work performed.
Visibility, fit and functionality
Windshield, side glass, rear glass, mirror and lighting damage assessment. Camera-equipped glass and advanced headlights may require additional procedures after replacement.
Look beyond the visible impact
Evaluation of collision-related wheel, tire, steering, suspension and alignment concerns. Ride-height or air-suspension issues are identified for further diagnosis where applicable.
Organized insurance communication
Assistance with estimates, damage documentation, adjuster communication and supplements for newly discovered damage. Coverage decisions remain with the insurance carrier.
Small details, carefully restored
Scratch, dent and lease-return damage evaluation. Paintless dent repair may be an option when paint condition, access, material and the shape of the damage make it suitable.
A repair plan built around your Land Rover.
The badge is only the beginning. Your VIN, model year, body construction, powertrain and installed equipment help determine the correct parts and repair procedures.
Range Rover
Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, Range Rover Velar and Range Rover Evoque. Damage assessment considers exterior finish, panel fit, electronics and the construction of the specific generation.
Defender
Defender 90, Defender 110 and Defender 130. Repair planning accounts for the damaged panels, trim, underbody components, accessories and safety equipment fitted to your vehicle.
Discovery
Discovery and Discovery Sport, along with older Land Rover models such as LR3, LR4 and LR2. Parts availability and model-specific procedures are checked during the assessment.
Premium paint. Meticulous preparation.
A luxury finish depends on much more than finding a paint code. Existing color variation, application technique, gloss and the relationship between neighboring panels all affect the result.
The Collision Repair Shop uses premium Glasurit paint and computerized color matching. Your refinishing plan considers preparation, color verification and blending where appropriate to achieve a consistent appearance.
- Review of the paint code and existing vehicle finish.
- Color evaluation before refinishing.
- Preparation of repaired and replacement surfaces.
- Appropriate blending into adjacent panels when needed.
- Final review of finish quality and repaired panel fit.
Lifetime paint warranty coverage is subject to the shop's written terms. Ask for a copy so you understand coverage and care requirements.
Structure, safety and technology belong in the repair conversation.
A vehicle can look repaired while still needing diagnostic, mechanical or calibration work. Ask how those requirements are being evaluated for your specific Land Rover.
Aluminum and mixed-material construction
Some Land Rover models use extensive aluminum construction. Permitted repair methods, joining processes and parts access vary. Structural work must be assessed against the applicable manufacturer information and facility requirements.
Scans and calibration planning
A diagnostic scan identifies information stored by vehicle modules. Calibration is a separate procedure used when required for affected systems. A cleared warning light alone does not establish that every required procedure has been completed.
Mechanical and occupant protection checks
Depending on the impact, the repair assessment may include steering, suspension, cooling components, restraint systems, wiring and underbody damage. The visible dent does not define the full scope of the collision.
Insurance, parts and repair costs—explained.
You deserve to understand what is being repaired, which parts are proposed and what you may owe before approving the work.
Insurance claim assistance
We help organize damage documentation and communicate with the insurer about the repair estimate. If disassembly reveals additional damage, a supplement may be needed to request payment for that work.
Your policy, claim circumstances and carrier determine coverage. Ask about the deductible, rental allowance, parts provisions and any difference between the approved estimate and proposed repair.
OEM and replacement parts
Genuine Land Rover parts, commonly called OEM parts, are designed for the vehicle. Proposed parts should be identified on the estimate, with alternatives discussed before authorization.
Availability, repair requirements, policy provisions and owner preferences can affect the final parts plan. Ask which parts are new OEM, aftermarket, recycled or reconditioned and why they are being proposed.
What affects the price?
Cost depends on damage depth, repairable versus replacement panels, structural involvement, paint finish, parts pricing, labor and any required diagnostic or calibration work.
A photograph can help start the conversation, but hidden damage may change the scope. An inspection provides a more useful starting estimate than a generic price for a dent or bumper.
Loaners and deductible assistance
Free loaner vehicles and deductible assistance may be available. Eligibility, restrictions and vehicle availability apply. Confirm the details with our team before arranging your repair.
If you are paying directly rather than filing a claim, we can discuss the damage assessment and written estimate with you.
What to expect from your collision repair.
Each repair is different. These stages explain the decisions, documentation and communication involved in a considered repair plan.
Start with a conversation
Share your model, damage concerns and claim information. If the vehicle may be unsafe to drive, ask about towing coordination.
Inspect and prepare the estimate
Visible damage is assessed and the proposed work is explained. Further disassembly or diagnosis may be needed to establish the full scope.
Confirm the repair plan
Review parts, procedures, authorization and insurance approvals where applicable. Discuss any required specialist work and expected customer costs.
Address damage and refinishing
Approved work proceeds as parts and resources become available. Newly identified damage is documented and discussed before additional work is authorized.
Complete required checks
The repair plan may include diagnostic scans, calibrations, alignment or other verification procedures, depending on the damage and manufacturer requirements.
Review the completed repair
Discuss the final invoice, completed work, warranty information and paint care instructions. Ask for clarification on anything you want to understand before collection.

- Check for injuries and contact emergency services when needed.

Land Rover collision repair FAQs.
Straightforward answers for Range Rover, Defender and Discovery owners planning a repair in Ferndale and Metro Detroit.
Do you provide Land Rover and Range Rover collision estimates?
Yes. Contact The Collision Repair Shop for a free written collision repair estimate. An inspection helps establish the proposed work; hidden damage or additional diagnostic findings may require an updated estimate.
Are you a Land Rover manufacturer-certified collision center?
This page does not claim Land Rover manufacturer certification or Authorized Collision Network membership. Manufacturer authorization is a specific designation. Ask about the facility requirements for your repair, particularly for aluminum structural work or restricted parts.
You can check manufacturer-authorized facilities using the official Land Rover collision network locator .
Can an aluminum Land Rover body be repaired?
Repairability depends on the model, damaged component and manufacturer procedure. Some components may be repairable; others require replacement. Aluminum structural repairs can involve specialized equipment, training and parts access. Those requirements should be confirmed before work begins.
How much does Land Rover collision repair cost?
There is no single price. A cosmetic scratch, a bumper impact and a collision involving structure or suspension have different repair requirements. Parts, paint, labor, diagnostic work and calibrations all affect the total. Request an inspection for an estimate specific to your vehicle.
How long will my Range Rover repair take?
Timing depends on the extent of damage, parts availability, insurance approvals and required specialist work. Hidden damage can change the schedule. Ask for an estimated completion window after assessment and updates if the repair plan changes.
Do you work with my insurance company?
The Collision Repair Shop assists with claims involving major insurance companies. Provide your carrier and claim details so our team can explain the process. Your insurer determines coverage, payment approvals and policy benefits.
What if my insurance estimate is lower than the repair estimate?
Estimates may differ because of parts choices, labor operations, repair procedures or damage that was not visible initially. The differences should be reviewed and documented with the insurer. Confirm any unresolved customer responsibility before authorizing additional work.
What is an insurance supplement?
A supplement is an additional estimate submitted when more damage or necessary repair operations are identified after the initial estimate. It is commonly accompanied by photographs and supporting documentation. Insurer review and customer authorization may affect when the additional work can proceed.
Will my vehicle receive genuine Land Rover parts?
Ask our team to review the parts proposed for your vehicle. The estimate should identify part types. Manufacturer requirements, availability, policy provisions and owner decisions influence the approved parts plan; this page does not promise OEM parts for every repair.
Can you match my Land Rover's paint color?
We use premium Glasurit paint and computerized color matching. The refinishing plan considers the existing finish and may include blending into adjacent panels. Specialty, matte or satin finishes require an individual assessment of the appropriate process.
Does bumper or windshield replacement require calibration?
It can. Requirements depend on the vehicle's equipment and the components removed, replaced or disturbed. Camera, radar, alignment and mounting conditions may be relevant. The applicable manufacturer procedure determines which calibrations are required.
Are a diagnostic scan and a calibration the same thing?
No. A scan retrieves diagnostic information from vehicle systems. Calibration is a separate procedure used to establish the proper operation or reference position of certain components. A scan does not replace a required calibration.
Can I drive my Land Rover after an accident?
Visible damage alone cannot establish whether a vehicle is safe to drive. If you notice fluid leaks, damaged tires, steering problems, unusual noises, warning messages or deployed airbags, stop driving and arrange an assessment. When in doubt, use towing.
Do you help arrange towing?
Call (248) 545-4600 for help coordinating towing to the shop. Confirm pickup arrangements, towing charges and any insurance coverage before dispatch.
Can collision damage affect air suspension or alignment?
Yes. Wheel, curb or underbody impacts can affect suspension, steering and alignment components. On equipped vehicles, abnormal ride height or suspension warnings warrant diagnosis. Share any changes in handling or ride quality during your assessment.
Can you assess a plug-in hybrid Land Rover after a collision?
Tell our team that your vehicle is a plug-in hybrid when you call. High-voltage components can introduce additional inspection, handling and repair requirements. The scope and any specialist arrangements must be confirmed before work proceeds.
Can minor dents be repaired without repainting?
Sometimes. Paintless dent repair depends on the dent's shape, depth, location, material, access and paint condition. Damage with cracked paint, sharp creases or unsuitable access may require another repair method.
Do you offer free loaner vehicles or deductible assistance?
These options may be available to eligible customers. Restrictions, terms and vehicle availability apply. Contact our team to confirm eligibility and arrangements before booking your repair.
What happens if my insurer declares the vehicle a total loss?
The insurer evaluates the claim and decides whether to proceed with repair or a total-loss settlement under the applicable policy and requirements. Ask the carrier about valuation, settlement, vehicle release and any outstanding charges before making decisions.
Can a collision repair guarantee my vehicle's resale value?
No repair can guarantee future resale value. Accident history, repair quality, vehicle condition and market demand can affect value. Keep your estimate, final invoice and available repair documentation for your records.
Is collision repair covered by my factory warranty?
Collision damage is generally handled through an insurance claim or owner payment rather than a factory defect warranty. Questions about remaining manufacturer coverage should be reviewed against your warranty terms with Land Rover.
What warranty comes with the shop's paint work?
The Collision Repair Shop advertises a lifetime paint warranty, subject to the applicable written terms. Request a copy and review coverage, exclusions and maintenance requirements before approving the repair.
How should I care for freshly refinished paint?
Follow the specific instructions provided at delivery. Ask when washing, waxing, polishing, ceramic coating or paint protection film installation is appropriate. Timing depends on the paint system and curing conditions.
What documents should I ask for when collecting my vehicle?
Ask for the final itemized invoice, written warranty and paint care instructions. Where applicable, ask about documentation for completed scans, calibration, alignment and specialist work. Review any follow-up recommendations before leaving.
