Why Bathurst Manor drivers make the trip
Worth the drive, once — then it’s your shop
Manor drivers pass the shop constantly — anyone heading for the Allen, Sheppard West station, or the 401 at Keele is already most of the way here. The neighbourhood’s cars live outdoors on driveways, its streets are in the middle of a teardown-and-rebuild wave, and the damage we see reflects that: creased doors, scraped bumper corners, winter curb strikes. Ontario law puts the choice of repair shop with you, not with your insurance company, and plenty of Manor households use that choice to keep the work close.
Around Bathurst Manor: Sheppard Plaza · Wilmington Park · Dufferin & Finch
Your insurance company can’t choose your shop — in Ontario that choice is always yours. Here’s how that works.
A bungalow neighbourhood in the middle of a rebuild
Bathurst Manor was built out in the 1950s and 60s — bungalows and split-levels on curving streets between Sheppard, Finch, Dufferin, and Bathurst — and right now a good share of those lots are being torn down and rebuilt. That changes the streets. Contractor pickups line the curbs on Wilmington and Overbrook, dumpster bins narrow a road that was never wide, and delivery trucks squeeze past parked cars all day. The result is a steady supply of clipped mirrors, scraped door skins, and reversing damage that nobody saw happen.
Winter adds its own list. The plows leave windrows across every driveway mouth, and punching through one at the wrong angle drags a bumper cover loose or cracks it at the corner. Bathurst, Dufferin, and Finch get salted hard, so the arterial commute coats rockers and arches all season, and the freeze–thaw potholes that open up between February and April take out wheels and lower trim on the side streets before the city gets to them.
Sheppard Ave W does most of the work
From the Sheppard Plaza corner at Bathurst, the drive is one straight line: west on Sheppard past the top of the Allen and Sheppard West station, across Dufferin, and down to Keele — about 8 to 12 minutes in normal traffic. We are open Monday to Saturday, 8 AM to 7 PM, with Sundays by appointment, so a drop-off fits before work or after dinner. Getting home without the car is simple too: one bus back along Sheppard, or Line 1 from Sheppard West if you are connecting elsewhere.
If the car should not be driven — a radiator pushed back on the Allen, a wheel folded under at an intersection — send photos first and we will put a written number on the damage before anything moves. Ontario’s towing rules put the destination in your hands, so tell the operator the car goes to Collision Auto Center off Keele just south of Sheppard, and we will coordinate the rest, including timing a rental through your coverage so you are not stranded between steps.
The claim, handled by the owner from start to finish
Most Manor collisions end up as DCPD claims: when you are not at fault, in whole or in part, your own insurance company pays for the vehicle damage. That surprises people who expect to chase the other driver. What matters on your end is simple — report promptly, pick your shop, and let the shop argue the details. The owner deals with the adjuster directly, documents everything the first estimate missed, and files the supplement himself.
Insurance paperwork is stressful enough on its own. Here the questions about fault, deductibles, rentals, and repair timelines get answered by the owner, not read off a script. One person follows your car from the first photo to the final inspection, and that person is the one who picks up the phone at (647) 594-3401.

Questions from Bathurst Manor drivers
Straight answers before you commit to anything — and a human on the phone when you want one.
How far is Collision Auto Center from Bathurst Manor?
About 4 km. From anywhere between Sheppard and Finch it is a straight run west on Sheppard Ave W to Keele — roughly 8 to 12 minutes in ordinary traffic. The shop is off Keele just south of Sheppard, on the route many Manor commuters already drive.
My insurance company suggested one of their preferred shops. Do I have to go there?
No. In Ontario the repair shop is your choice — an insurance company can recommend a preferred shop but cannot require one. Tell the adjuster the car is going to Collision Auto Center and the claim proceeds normally. We take over the back-and-forth from there.
The car is not drivable after a crash near the Allen. What do I do?
Call us at (647) 594-3401 or send photos from the scene. Under Ontario’s towing rules you decide where the vehicle is towed, so have it brought straight to the shop — we help arrange the tow, open the claim with your insurance company, and sort a rental through your coverage.

What customers say
The line we hear most: “I couldn’t tell where the damage had been.”
Honestly, I thought my car would never look the same again — but they completely proved me wrong. I couldn’t even tell where the damage had been repaired or repainted. The paint matched perfectly, and the bodywork was flawless.
My car was in an accident and the entire rear was damaged. They replaced the rear bumper and tailgate, and the paint job was perfect — matched flawlessly. The quality of work exceeded my expectations.
Very quality service and fair rates. The staff was professional, honest, and kept me updated throughout the whole process. My car looks brand new again.
Absolutely the best auto body shop I’ve ever used. The paint matched perfectly and the car looked brand new again. They handled everything smoothly and finished on time.
