Can Heritage Collision safely repair my Equinox EV, Blazer EV, or Silverado EV?

Yes. Ultium powered vehicles use a wireless battery management system, which is a real design difference from earlier wired EV batteries. Heritage Collision auto body technicians are trained specifically on how that changes high voltage fault diagnosis after a collision, so the repair path is chosen correctly from the start.

Does my GM vehicle need Super Cruise recalibrated after a collision?

If your vehicle is equipped with Super Cruise, yes. The camera and radar system needs to be recalibrated to restore accuracy after any repair that could shift their position. Heritage Collision has a specified building just for ADAS calibrations.

Does my Silverado get repaired the same way as a Cadillac at Heritage Collision?

No. Structural repair follows GM's documented procedures for the specific steel and aluminum construction used in each model. A Silverado's frame repair requirements are different from a Cadillac's aluminum intensive body, and holding certification at the correct tier confirms a body shop actually has the equipment for both.

How do I know your Heritage Collision GM certification is still current?

GM audits certified body shops through a third party. If a gap is found, the shop has 60 days to resolve it or lose the certification. An active credential reflects that we meet the standard now, not that we met it once years ago.

What does GM Certified actually mean?

It means Heritage Collision holds GM's Basic certification plus additional tiers on top of it, including the Internal Combustion Engine Specialty tier and the Battery Electric Vehicle Basic tier. Not every certified body shop holds both. A shop with only the Basic tier is not equipped the same way as one that also earned BEV certification.

Do I have to use the body shop my insurance company recommends for my Chevrolet, GMC, Buick, or Cadillac?

No. Michigan law gives you the legal right to choose your own repair facility, regardless of your insurer's preferred vendor list. Heritage Collision works directly with all insurance carriers at both our Ann Arbor and Canton locations.

Can I get an estimate without an appointment at Heritage Collision?

Yes, walk in for a free estimate at either location, or send photos online for a quote before you come in.

What FCA models does Heritage Collision service?

Wrangler, Gladiator, Grand Cherokee, Compass, Ram 1500, 2500, and 3500, Charger, Durango, and Pacifica, including the electrified 4xe models.

How long will my FCA repair take at Heritage Collision?

It depends on the vehicle and the damage. A cosmetic repair on a Charger might take a few days. A structural repair on a Ram frame or a body on frame Jeep repair can take longer, since parts availability and correct procedure matter more than speed. We give you a realistic timeline at estimate, not an optimistic one.

Does certified repair cost more than a general body shop?

Certified repair uses genuine Mopar parts and manufacturer specified procedures, which protects your safety, your warranty, and your resale value. Heritage Collision coordinates directly with your insurance to minimize your out-of-pocket cost regardless of which shop you choose.
