Serving Streetsville · about 30 km from the shop
Auto body shop serving Streetsville
Streetsville calls itself the village in the city for a reason — a heritage main street on the Credit River, ringed by subdivisions that empty onto the 401 every morning. When a car from either half of that life needs bodywork, Collision Auto Center is about 26 to 38 minutes away at Keele and Sheppard in North York.

Why Streetsville drivers make the trip
Worth the drive, once — then it’s your shop
We will be honest about the geography: Streetsville has body shops closer than ours. The drivers who come to us anyway come because of how the file is run, not the postal code — a written figure from photos before the car moves, one owner-estimator named the owner carrying the claim from teardown to hand-back, and the adjuster conversations, supplements, and OEM-parts arguments handled from our office. Ontario law puts the choice of shop with you, whatever list your insurance company reads out. For a village that parks on a nineteenth-century main street and commutes on North America’s busiest highway, we see both kinds of damage, and we plan the repair around one trip up Mississauga Road.
Around Streetsville: Streetsville Village Square · Queen St S · Credit River crossing · GO station
Your insurance company can’t choose your shop — in Ontario that choice is always yours. Here’s how that works.
A main street from the 1800s, parking from the 1800s too
Queen Street South was laid out for wagons, and the parking still shows it. The spots along the storefronts are tight parallel slots between heritage façades and moving traffic, and the small lots tucked behind the shops fill in from laneways with no room for a wide turn. That geometry writes a steady list of small repair orders — mirrors clipped by passing traffic, door edges met in the laneway lots, bumper corners dragged on high village curbs. On the old residential streets off the core, narrow lots and short driveways keep cars close to the road, where the plow windrows find them every winter.
Then there is the first weekend of June. The Bread and Honey Festival closes the main street, pushes thousands of visitors into the side streets, and packs every unmarked verge from Church Street to Tannery Street with unfamiliar cars. The Monday after, somebody always finds a crease they cannot explain. Streetsville Village Square does the same thing at a smaller scale all year — event nights fill the core, and cars squeeze into spaces the village never planned for. None of this damage is dramatic. All of it deserves a straight written price before you decide whether your deductible makes a claim worthwhile.
The other Streetsville: Mississauga Road and the 401
Outside the core, Streetsville is a commuter town. The Milton line runs peak hours only, so the GO lot fills before eight and holds cars in the open all day — sun, hail, and the door of whoever parked next to you at 7:40. Everyone else drives: Mississauga Road north past the 407 crossing to the 401, or Britannia and Erin Mills Parkway across to the same ramps. The morning queue up Mississauga Road produces the classic commuter rear-end, and the Britannia and Queen South lights collect the left-turn hits where village traffic crosses commuter traffic. Down along the Credit, Creditview Road’s curves ice up early near the water, and the valley sends the odd deer across the road at dawn.
Thirty kilometres is far enough that we never pretend to be around the corner, so the repair is built around a single trip. Text photos of the damage to (647) 594-3401 and a written figure comes back fast — that number is how you decide whether to open a claim at all. If it becomes a claim, we order parts before your booking so shop time starts the day the car arrives. A car that should not drive gets a flatbed we coordinate; Ontario’s towing rules put the destination in your hands, so it comes to our door instead of a storage yard billing daily. Hours are Monday to Saturday, 8 AM to 7 PM, Sundays by appointment, and if a rental is part of your coverage we time the pickup to your drop-off. The owner answers the phone himself.

Streetsville questions
Questions from Streetsville drivers
Straight answers before you commit to anything — and a human on the phone when you want one.
Streetsville has shops nearby. Why drive to North York?
Because most of the work happens before and after the drive. The estimate starts from your photos, the claim, adjuster calls, and supplements run from our office, and the same owner-estimator — the owner — who wrote your number inspects the finished car. You make the trip up Mississauga Road and the 401 once at drop-off and once at pickup; everything between runs by phone.
I came back to the GO lot and found a dent with no note. What should I do?
Photograph the damage and the empty space beside you that day, and report meaningful damage to your insurance company as a hit-and-run — with no identified driver, the repair runs through your own policy. Before you commit, send us the same photos. If our written price lands near your deductible, paying out of pocket may be the smarter move, and we will tell you so.
My insurance company wants me at a preferred shop in Mississauga. Do I have a choice?
Yes — in Ontario the choice of repair shop is always yours. A preferred or DRP shop is a recommendation an insurance company is allowed to make, not a requirement it can enforce, and your policy covers reasonable repair costs wherever the work is done. Tell the adjuster the car is going to Collision Auto Center and we handle the rest of that conversation.

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.
