Mercedes-Benz Certified Collision Center

Why Choose Us for Your Mercedes-Benz Certified Repairs?
A manufacturer certification is not simply a badge. The Mercedes-Benz Certified Collision Center helps connect the repair to brand-specific training, tools, equipment, and current repair procedures. At Philip Thearle’s Autowerks, we use that framework to identify what the vehicle needs instead of applying the same repair method to every make and model.

What Your Mercedes-Benz Repair Process May Include
