    Brought my vehicle in with some front end damage. Insurance wasn’t the best at communicating but the crew at Brads made sure they paid out what was needed to properly fix my vehicle. Once my vehicle was finished I was surprised to see that they took the time to clean my car up, they even defogged my headlights!

    Honest and reliable shop. I was told my vehicle was done but it wasn’t driving quite right so they kept it another day and made sure it was perfect. They even gave me a ride home about 30 minutes away and made sure I was taken care of. I was not charged for any additional work. I would 10/10 recommend.

    New to Brad's, but wish I'd discovered this shop many years ago. Brad told me that he treats people the way that he wants to be treated. What more can anyone ask than that? Glad I tried them out and will be back for sure.

Quad Cities’ Deer Collision Specialists

For over four decades, Brad’s Collision Service has been the trusted name for deer collision repair throughout the Quad Cities region. Unlike general body shops, we focus exclusively on the unique challenges posed by deer impacts—whether you’ve struck a buck on U.S.-67 near Aledo or encountered a doe on a rural Mercer County backroad. Our technicians have logged thousands of hours diagnosing the hidden damage patterns specific to deer strikes, from antler punctures in metal panels to misaligned structural rails. We maintain a proprietary library of deer-impact case studies so that every repair benefits from proven, repeatable processes tailored to local crash conditions and seasonal wildlife behavior.


Precision Repairs That Protect Your Safety Systems

A deer collision doesn’t just leave visible dents; it can warp your vehicle’s frame, crumple unibody rails, and knock critical ADAS sensors out of calibration. At our Aledo facility, we employ a computerized frame rack able to measure and restore chassis alignment within fractions of a millimeter—ensuring your suspension geometry and crashworthiness match factory specifications. Our paintless dent repair experts then address smaller dings without disturbing your vehicle’s original paint, preserving its finish and resale value. Once the body work is complete, we perform a meticulous recalibration of lane-keep assist, forward-collision warning, parking sensors, and adaptive cruise control systems using OEM diagnostic tools.


OEM Quality & Lifetime Workmanship Warranty

We understand that a deer collision can be stressful—dealing with insurance claims, rental cars, and repair timelines adds to the headache. That’s why we go beyond technical excellence with full-service claim coordination: we document every photograph and estimate, submit paperwork on your behalf, and even bill your insurer directly when possible. All replacement parts meet or exceed original equipment manufacturer (OEM) standards, and every repair carries our industry-leading lifetime workmanship warranty. From free vehicle pickup within a 50-mile radius of Aledo to complimentary loaner cars, our commitment is to make your post-deer-strike recovery seamless, transparent, and backed by quality you can trust.
