About Us
Your car is one of the most important things you own. Trust your car to the care of a team of exceptional professionals with decades of experience and a commitment to quality and dependability.
Bowling Green has been serving Northwest Ohio since 1978, originally as a Mercury, AMC and later Jeep. As the labels were bought out and changed over, we evolved into being more than just a dealership, adding a large showroom, service bays, additional staff, and of course, the auto body and repair shop. We have 25 employees, most of whom have been with us for over 15 years. That’s because we put people and their needs first, making sure that our commitment to customer service has never changed.

Over 50 years of Combined Experience
Our body shop team has over 50 years of auto repair and replacement experience combined, and have worked on nearly every make and model of car imaginable at this point. We not only talk about customer service, but we deliver on that promise every time we open up the hood of your car. From minor fender benders to full engine rebuilds, we’ve seen it all at BG Auto repair and we’ve done it with pride and a commitment to service.
Who We Are Today
Bowling Green Auto is so much more than a car dealership. Its more than just a show room or a service center. Our goal is to be the one stop shop for all your car care needs, from repairs to oil changes to detailing, so that you can build a relationship with our team, people you can know and trust. We take the fear and the guesswork out of car repair, and provide you with accurate quotes and exceptional work, so you know the job is being done right the first time.
COLLISION REPAIR PROCESS
At Bowling Green Auto Collision in Bowling Green, Ohio we enter all the relevant data about the repair into our computerized estimating system. We then generate a report detailing the work needed and the costs involved.
Insurance Approval
In addition to Bowling Green Auto Collision’s estimate, a representative from your insurance company may inspect your vehicle and prepare an estimate. Prior to beginning the repair process, we’ll make sure our estimate agrees with the insurance company’s figure as well as with the repair procedures needed to fix any damage. At times, a vehicle may be evaluated as a total loss and no repairs will be needed.
Disassembly
Occasionally we find additional damage after a vehicle has been disassembled for repair. When this happens, we take photos of the damage and contact you and/or your insurance company to approve any additional repairs. We’ll also generate a supplement to your original estimate to cover additional repair costs.
Ordering Parts
We will order any parts needed for your vehicle’s repair to make sure they are delivered in a timely fashion. Occasionally, we may need to place a special order for parts which can add time to the repair process.
Frame Repair
We use a sophisticated repair system to carefully and accurately measure, analyze, and align the frame of your vehicle to restore it to its original factory specifications.
Body Repair
The body repair process involves replacing any damaged exterior parts as well as any necessary metal finishing.
Paint
Bowling Green Auto Collision technicians use a computerized paint-mixing system to match your vehicle’s paint color perfectly. To ensure the best adhesion possible, we sand down the area to be painted, masking and priming it for refinishing.
Reassembly
Once repairs are complete, we reassemble any parts that were removed and/or repaired. We then check to verify that your car is structurally sound and ready for delivery.
Inspection
We test-drive your vehicle and perform a quality control system check to make sure everything functions correctly and the repairs have been completed successfully.
Completion
When your car is ready for pick up, we will meet with you to review your invoice and answer any questions. Our goal is to make sure you’re 100% satisfied with our work.
