Built on trust
Family-owned and operated on Detroit's west side. The person you talk to is part of the team fixing your car.
Owner-run, Detroit proud
Motor City Automotive & Collision is owned and run by Marvin Dabish, known to many customers simply as Marv. The goal has always been simple: give Detroit drivers a body shop that answers to the customer, tells the truth, and does the job right.
We're the shop people call when the job is tough. Three-car accidents, emergency repairs, stolen-vehicle damage, and luxury paint work all come through our doors, and they leave looking and driving right. Some of our customers have been with us for more than ten years and send their whole family.
When you drop off your car, you're talking to the people who will fix it. No layers. No runaround.
State-certified technicians
Your repair is handled by State of Michigan certified technicians, trained in structural body repair and collision-related mechanical repair.
Structural work, mechanical realignment, and final inspection are checked by certified hands before your car goes home.
Motor City Automotive & Collision is a Michigan MVRF licensed repair facility, Facility Reg #157336.
