OUR STORY


After starting an entry-level position in the collision repair industry, Kelly Allen worked his way up to eventually becoming self-employed in 1992 when he opened Kelly’s Paint and Body.

Today, Kelly’s Collision continues to pride itself in providing:

  • Safe, quality repairs
  • Excellent customer service
  • Well-trained staff
  • Mentoring for young apprentices
  • And service to our community

Kelly and his wife Jennifer were able to build a new, more modern facility in 2006, continually adding new equipment, going through more training, and making upgrades to accommodate the ever-changing field of collision repair.

Kelly and Jennifer’s son, Colten, has been learning the industry from the ground up. His love of cars led him to join the business, learning everything Kelly knows and collaborating on ideas to keep improving our customers’ experience.

As cars get smarter, we always invest in the training and new equipment to bring an outstanding finished product to the people who count on us.
