Welcome to King Collision Centers
The Most Certified Collision Centers in New England!
Choosing a certified collision center is an important step towards ensuring your vehicle is repaired properly, its value is protected, and – most importantly – you and your passengers are kept safe. King Collision Centers proudly serve Boston, the South Shore and Cape Cod with our two state-of-the-art I-CAR Gold Class auto body shops in Pembroke and Plymouth, MA. Our Factory Trained autobody technicians deliver certified collision repairs trusted by more car makers than any other shop in New England and backed a Free Lifetime Warranty.
“Certified Collision” means we repair your vehicle according to factory-approved Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) specifications. We do not cut corners that could compromise your vehicle’s performance and your safety.
Only certified collision centers have been verified by your car maker to have the Training, Tooling and Technical Expertise to restore your vehicle to pre-accident quality, safety and value. That’s why your car maker guarantees our certified repairs and why we stand behind our work with a Free Lifetime Warranty!

Did you know?
Certified shops are required to invest in specialized tooling & equipment needed to perform safe, proper repairs. Non-certified shops are not required to invest in new tools or equipment.
Did you know?
Certified shops use OEM parts, which are the same parts originally installed on your vehicle in the factory. Non-certified shops are likely to use cheaper alternative parts to keep costs down for the insurer. Alternative parts could impair the safety and performance of your vehicle.
Did you know?
Only certified shops are required to follow OEM Repair Procedures, which are detailed instructions from your car maker on how to properly repair your vehicle. Non-certified shops negotiate your repair with the insurer based on their opinions of how to sufficiently repair your vehicle for the lowest cost.
Did you know?
Continuing education is not required for collision technicians. Only certified shops are required to participate in on-going training to keep pace with new vehicle technology. Non-certified shops may not have the training needed to properly repair your modern vehicle.
Did you know?
Only Certified collision centers are required to perform pre- and post-repair scans to ensure all diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) are identified and resolved. Not performing scans could compromise your vehicle's safety.
Know Your Rights
Not all collision centers are the same, and you have the right to use the repair facility of your choice.
Your insurance company will pay for repairs at any shop you choose. We stand behind our work with a Lifetime Warranty and our Certified Repairs are Guaranteed by your vehicle manufacturer.
Useful Links
We do work with your insurance company, and they will pay for your repair at King Collision. However, we have voluntarily removed ourselves from some insurance programs that don’t align with our commitment to delivering only the highest quality, certified repairs.
King Collision Centers repairs are backed by our Lifetime Warranty and certified repairs are Guaranteed by your car maker. Since our repairs comply with factory specifications, your vehicle manufacturer’s warranty will likely remain intact for certified repairs.
As collision repair professionals, it is the general policy of King Collision Centers to use only new, genuine OEM parts for the repair of vehicles. We care about the safety of you and your passengers, and OEM Parts are the only parts tested to ensure the operational safety of your vehicle. We repair vehicles in accordance to their manufacturer’s repair specifications, which call for the use of OEM Parts.
Only certified collision centers must adhere to strict OEM requirements for tooling, training, parts, scanning, and repair procedure usage to ensure the highest quality repair outcomes. Car makers audit certified shops annually to validate compliance with their certification program rules. Only certified repairs are guaranteed by car makers.
Insurance referral shops are not the same as Certified Collision Centers. Insurance referral shops do not need to be certified and likely do not meet the same standards for tooling, training, parts, scanning or repair procedures that are required by car makers for certified collision centers. In most instances, insurance referral shops have agreed to cheaper repair standards that save the insurer money in exchange for the insurance company’s referral business.
