Carlson’s Collision was started in 1991 by Craig Carlson. Craig started his business in a small rented building. Craig is completely self-taught, and started with a passion of fixing late model repairables. As others started to see the quality and passion Craig showed with his repairs, soon others wanted their cars repaired too.

Carlson’s Collision and Glass is now a 9000 square foot state-of-the-art collision repair facility that continues to do perfect, seamless repairs for a broad range of customers and insurance companies.
