Land Rover Collision Repair in Michigan
Thoughtful repair planning. Premium refinishing. Personal attention for Range Rover, Defender and Discovery owners throughout Metro Detroit.
836 E 9 Mile Rd, Ferndale, MI 48220

A considered repair for an exceptional vehicle.
Your Land Rover brings together distinctive design, capable engineering and sophisticated technology. Collision repair should give each of those elements the attention it deserves.
At The Collision Repair Shop, we help you understand the damage, the proposed repair and the decisions ahead. From a scratched bumper to a collision involving body panels, suspension or electronics, the first step is a clear assessment of your vehicle.
Our Ferndale team provides a central point of contact for your estimate, body and paint work, insurance communication and the coordination of additional services required by the repair plan.

Your model defines the repair.
Vehicle construction and equipment vary by generation. Your VIN, model year, powertrain and installed features help establish the appropriate parts and procedures.
Range Rover
Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, Range Rover Velar and Range Rover Evoque. Repair planning considers the damaged panels, finish, structure and technology fitted to your specific vehicle.
Defender
Defender 90, Defender 110 and Defender 130. Assessment includes affected bodywork, bumpers, trim, accessories, underbody components and collision-related mechanical concerns.
Discovery & Earlier Models
Discovery, Discovery Sport, LR2, LR3, LR4 and earlier Land Rover vehicles. Parts availability, vehicle condition and applicable repair information are reviewed before the plan is finalized.
Land Rover body repair, refinishing and repair coordination.
The visible damage is only the starting point. A well-developed estimate considers related components and additional work identified through inspection, disassembly and diagnosis.
Doors, fenders, hoods and liftgates
Assessment of dented, creased or damaged exterior panels. Repair versus replacement depends on the component, material, damage location and permitted repair methods.
Impact damage beyond the surface
Bumper covers, brackets, absorbers, reinforcement, grilles, trim and related wiring may be affected by an impact. Sensor mounting areas require particular attention.
Measurements and repair requirements
Structural concerns are evaluated against vehicle-specific repair information. Measuring, component replacement and specialist requirements help define the appropriate scope.
Color, gloss and surface quality
Glasurit paint, computerized color matching, careful preparation and blending where appropriate. Metallic, pearl and specialty finishes receive an individual refinishing assessment.
Diagnostics and calibration planning
Review of scanning and calibration needs for affected vehicle systems. Cameras, radar, parking sensors and other equipment are considered according to the work performed.
Visibility and component function
Windshield, side glass, rear glass, mirrors and lighting damage assessment. Camera-equipped windshields and advanced headlights may involve additional procedures after replacement.
Steering, suspension and alignment
Collision-related wheel, tire, steering and suspension concerns are assessed. Alignment, cooling-system or ride-height issues may require further diagnosis.
Repair options for smaller damage
Hail dents and minor body damage are assessed for paintless dent repair or conventional repair. Paint condition, access, material and dent shape determine suitability.
Practical help with the next steps
Insurance estimate review, damage documentation and supplement assistance, plus cosmetic damage assessment before a lease return. Coverage and lease charges depend on the applicable terms.

A careful assessment makes the difference.
A damaged bumper or fender may conceal broken mounting points, disturbed wiring, affected sensors or damage to nearby mechanical components. The shape of the exterior damage does not establish the complete repair.
Tell our team about warning messages, changes in steering, unusual noises, leaks or a vehicle that no longer sits level. These details help guide the inspection and any additional diagnosis.
- Visible damage assessment and documentation.
- Review of related components and mounting locations.
- Identification of further disassembly or diagnostic needs.
- Discussion of parts and proposed repair operations.
- Clear communication when additional damage is identified.
Structure, electronics and safety deserve equal attention.
A premium finish is one part of the repair. Vehicle construction, electronic systems and collision-related mechanical damage also belong in the plan.
Aluminum and mixed materials
Some Land Rover models use extensive aluminum construction. The damaged component and applicable manufacturer information determine permitted repair methods, joining processes and replacement requirements.
Scanning and calibration
Diagnostic scanning and calibration serve different purposes. A scan retrieves system information; calibration is a separate procedure performed when required for affected equipment. Requirements depend on the vehicle and repair.
Mechanical and restraint systems
An impact may affect suspension, steering, cooling components, wiring, airbags or seat belts. Further inspection and appropriate procedures are needed when these systems are involved.
Premium Glasurit refinishing.
Paint matching involves more than a factory color code. Existing finish variation, metallic orientation, pearl effects, gloss and neighboring panels influence the final appearance.
The Collision Repair Shop uses premium Glasurit paint and computerized color matching. Preparation, color evaluation and appropriate blending are considered when developing the refinishing plan.
- Paint code and existing finish review.
- Color evaluation before application.
- Preparation of repaired and replacement surfaces.
- Blending where appropriate for visual consistency.
- Review of finish quality and repaired panel fit.
Warranty and paint care.
Our advertised lifetime paint warranty is subject to the applicable written terms. Ask for a copy before authorizing your repair so you understand coverage, exclusions and care requirements.
Freshly refinished paint may require specific care. At delivery, ask when washing, waxing, polishing, ceramic coating or paint protection film installation is appropriate for the finish.
Specialty matte and satin finishes require an individual review because their appearance and maintenance differ from conventional gloss paint.
Insurance, parts and costs explained.
Understand the proposed work, the parts being used and your potential responsibility before approving the repair.
Insurance communication
Our team assists with estimates, photographs, adjuster communication and supplements for additional damage. Provide your claim number, carrier details and any existing estimate when you contact us.
Coverage and payment approvals depend on the insurer, policy and claim circumstances. Ask about deductibles, rental benefits and any unresolved differences between estimates.
Genuine and alternative parts
Genuine Land Rover parts are commonly called OEM parts. The estimate should identify proposed parts, with any alternatives discussed before authorization.
Ask whether parts are new OEM, aftermarket, recycled or reconditioned. Availability, repair requirements, policy provisions and owner decisions influence the final parts plan.
What determines the repair price?
Damage depth, affected materials, parts, labor, refinishing, structural work and required diagnostics or calibrations all influence cost.
A cosmetic scrape and an impact involving suspension or structure require different work. We recommend an inspection rather than relying on generic price ranges.
Offers and transportation options
Contact our team about the advertised repair discount, deductible assistance and free loaner options. Eligibility, restrictions, availability and whether offers can be combined must be confirmed before booking.
If you are paying directly, ask for a written estimate and clarification of any further work needed to determine the scope.
From your first call to vehicle collection.
Repairs vary, but these stages explain how the assessment, authorization and repair decisions fit together.

Share your model, damage concerns and claim details. If you cannot safely drive the vehicle, ask about towing coordination.

Land Rover collision repair FAQs.
Practical information for planning your Range Rover, Defender or Discovery repair in Ferndale and Metro Detroit.
Do you offer free Land Rover collision estimates?
Yes. Contact The Collision Repair Shop for a free written collision repair estimate. An initial inspection addresses visible damage; hidden damage or diagnostic findings may require an updated estimate.
Can you help with a Range Rover, Defender or Discovery?
Contact our team with your model, year and VIN. We can discuss an assessment and determine the repair scope, parts requirements and any specialist arrangements needed for your vehicle.
How much does Land Rover collision repair cost?
Cost depends on the damaged components, repair methods, parts, paint work, labor and required diagnostics or calibrations. An inspection provides a vehicle-specific starting estimate. Photographs alone may not reveal the complete damage.
How long will my Land Rover repair take?
Timing depends on damage severity, parts availability, authorization, insurance approvals and specialist work. Ask for a completion window after assessment and updates if additional damage changes the plan.
Do you work with insurance companies?
The Collision Repair Shop assists with claims involving major insurance companies. Our team helps with damage documentation, estimates, adjuster communication and supplements. The carrier determines coverage and payment approvals.
What happens if the insurance estimate differs from yours?
Differences may involve parts, labor operations, procedures or damage not visible during the original inspection. These differences should be documented and reviewed with the carrier. Confirm any unresolved customer responsibility before authorizing additional work.
What is a collision repair supplement?
A supplement is an additional estimate for damage or necessary operations identified after the initial estimate. Supporting photographs and documentation help explain the additional work. Approval requirements can affect timing.
Will you use genuine Land Rover parts?
Ask our team to review the proposed parts on your estimate. Manufacturer requirements, availability, policy provisions and owner decisions influence the parts plan. Part types and alternatives should be explained before authorization.
Can aluminum Land Rover body damage be repaired?
Repairability depends on the model, damaged component and applicable procedure. Some parts can be repaired; others require replacement. Aluminum structural work may require specialized training, equipment, authorization and parts access.
Does this page claim Land Rover manufacturer certification?
No. Land Rover manufacturer authorization is a specific designation. Ask our team about the requirements for your proposed repair, particularly for aluminum structural work and restricted parts. This page does not represent membership in the Land Rover Authorized Collision Network.
Does a bumper replacement require calibration?
It can, depending on the equipment fitted and components removed, replaced or disturbed. Radar, cameras, mounting positions and alignment conditions may be relevant. Applicable manufacturer procedures determine the requirements.
Does windshield replacement affect driver assistance systems?
A windshield with a mounted camera may require additional procedures after replacement. Glass specifications, camera mounting and calibration requirements should be checked for the specific vehicle.
Are diagnostic scanning and calibration the same thing?
No. A diagnostic scan retrieves information from vehicle modules. Calibration is a separate procedure used when required to establish correct operation or reference positions for certain components. One does not replace the other.
Can an accident affect air suspension or wheel alignment?
Yes. Wheel, curb and underbody impacts can affect suspension, steering and alignment. Abnormal ride height, pulling, unusual noises or suspension warnings warrant further assessment.
Can I drive my Land Rover after a collision?
Exterior appearance alone cannot establish whether it is safe to drive. If there are leaks, damaged tires, steering problems, deployed airbags or significant warning messages, stop driving and arrange an assessment. Use towing when safety is uncertain.
Can you help arrange towing?
Call (248) 545-4600 for help coordinating towing to the shop. Confirm pickup arrangements, charges and applicable insurance coverage before dispatch.
Do you offer loaner vehicles and deductible assistance?
These options may be available to eligible customers. Restrictions, terms and vehicle availability apply. Confirm the arrangements with our team before scheduling your repair.
How does the advertised 10 percent discount work?
Ask our team to confirm eligible repairs, exclusions, applicable terms and whether the offer can be combined with other assistance. Have the discount and your expected responsibility clarified before authorizing work.
Can you match my Land Rover's paint?
We use premium Glasurit paint and computerized color matching. The existing finish is evaluated and blending may be included where appropriate. Pearl, metallic, matte and satin finishes require individual consideration.
Can hail dents be repaired without repainting?
Sometimes. Paintless dent repair depends on paint condition, access, material and dent shape. Cracked paint, sharp creases or unsuitable access may require conventional repair and refinishing.
Can you assess lease-return scratches and dents?
Yes. Ask for an assessment before returning your vehicle. Cosmetic repair options can be discussed, but the lessor determines wear standards and any lease-return charges. Repairs do not guarantee the elimination of those charges.
What if my Land Rover is a plug-in hybrid?
Tell our team when you call. High-voltage equipment introduces additional handling, inspection and repair requirements. The scope and any specialist arrangements must be confirmed before work proceeds.
What happens if my insurer declares a total loss?
The carrier evaluates the claim and determines whether to proceed with repairs or a total-loss settlement under applicable requirements. Ask the insurer about valuation, settlement, release arrangements and outstanding charges.
Will collision repair protect my vehicle's resale value?
Repair quality and documentation matter, but future resale value cannot be guaranteed. Accident history, condition, mileage and market demand can affect value. Keep your estimate, final invoice and available repair records.
Is accident damage covered by a factory warranty?
Collision damage is generally handled through insurance 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 applies to the paint work?
The shop advertises a lifetime paint warranty subject to applicable written terms. Request a copy and review coverage, exclusions and care requirements before approving your repair.
When can I wash or wax freshly refinished paint?
Follow the specific instructions provided at delivery. Timing depends on the paint system and curing conditions. Ask before waxing, polishing, applying ceramic coating or installing paint protection film.
What should I review when collecting my vehicle?
Review the itemized invoice, completed work, written warranty and care instructions. Where applicable, ask about records for scans, calibration, alignment and specialist work. Discuss any remaining recommendations before leaving.
