Auto Body Shop in Rowlett, TX
Accelerate Auto Repair and Collision is a full-service auto body shop at 3002 Century Dr in Rowlett, TX. We handle collision repair, paint, dent removal, frame straightening and bumper work, and we back every collision repair with a lifetime warranty that stays with the vehicle when you sell it.
After a wreck the hard part usually isn’t the metal. It’s not knowing what the work should cost, whether your insurance will cover it, or whether you’ll be sitting in another shop six months from now. You get a written estimate before anything starts, we are a member of State Farm’s Select Service Program, their direct-repair program that shops have to apply to join, and we work with most major insurance companies, and we are an I-CAR Gold Class collision shop, the top shop-level training standard in the trade.
We also fix what the impact did under the hood. If the wreck took out the radiator, the suspension or the engine, your car does not have to go to a second shop afterward.

Engine Repair
Not only can we fix your vehicle’s body, but we can fix the engine, too. Our ASE Certified auto technicians will have your vehicle back to good condition as quickly as possible without sacrificing quality work. Contact the shop at 469-501-5115 to schedule an appointment for repairs and to discuss working with your insurance company.
In some cases, the accident may have caused engine or transmission damage. We can repair the engine and replace components such as the radiator, condenser, transmission coolers, oil coolers, oil pans, and anything else that might have been damaged or destroyed in the accident.
We’ll make sure the engine and transmission are working properly before we give you a quote for the insurance company. If they aren’t we’ll include that in the quote as long as the damage was caused by the accident.

Collision repair questions, answered
Can I choose my own body shop, or does my insurance company pick?
In Texas, you choose the shop. Your insurance company can recommend one, and many run direct-repair programs that move the paperwork along faster, but the decision is yours. We are a State Farm Select Service shop and we work with most major insurance companies, so being in the program means your claim moves faster. It does not mean you have to use us.
What does the lifetime warranty actually cover?
Bodywork, parts and paint. It covers both the parts we install and our own labor, for the life of the vehicle, and it is the same warranty on every collision repair we do, whether the job is insurance, self-pay, or through a direct-repair program. No separate tier, no separate cost. It does not cover rust or corrosion. If a panel we repaired is damaged again and someone else repairs it, coverage on that panel ends.
Does the warranty transfer if I sell the car?
Yes. The warranty follows the vehicle, not the buyer. Whoever owns the car needs the original invoice showing we did the repair.
Do you fix mechanical damage from the wreck too?
Yes. Engine, transmission and cooling work happens here, in house. If the impact took out the radiator, the suspension or the engine, you are not towing the car to a second shop after the bodywork is finished.
My car is not drivable. What do I do?
Call us at 469-501-5115 before you arrange the tow so we know it is coming. We are at 3002 Century Dr in Rowlett, off Lakeview Parkway and a few minutes from the President George Bush Turnpike. If you need to make a warranty claim later, call the same number and be ready to text or email photos of the area in question.
Lifetime Warranty — Collision Repair
Read the full warranty terms on their own page.
What we warranty. The collision work we perform — bodywork, parts, and paint — covering both the parts we install and our labor.
How long. For the life of the vehicle. Not a set number of years or miles.
Who it covers. The vehicle, not the buyer. If you sell the car, the warranty goes with it. Whoever owns the vehicle needs the original invoice showing we performed the repair.
Which jobs it applies to. Every collision repair we do — insurance, self-pay, or through a direct-repair program. No separate tier, no separate cost.
What ends it. If a panel we repaired is damaged again and that later repair is performed anywhere other than our facility, this warranty no longer applies to that panel.
Rust and corrosion. Lifetime warranty strictly excludes any claims related to rust or corrosion. Coverage does not apply to surface rust, rust perforation, or corrosion resulting from pre-existing conditions, aging underlying metal, rock chips, road salt, or exposure to inclement weather and harsh environmental conditions.
Making a claim. Please call (469) 501-5115 to discuss the claim. Please be prepared to text or email pictures of the area(s) in question so your claim can be processed as quickly as possible.
