Out-of-Pocket Repairs, Made Simple

Direct-pay collision and body repair in Hamilton, Ontario.

Our goal is to fix your vehicle right, at a fair price, without the hassle of an insurance claim.

Out-of-pocket collision repair means you pay the body shop directly instead of filing a claim with your insurer. Many Hamilton drivers choose this for minor damage, such as dents, scratches, scuffed bumpers and small fender benders, when the repair costs about the same as their deductible, or when they want to avoid a claim on their record.

 

At Harbour Collision, we inspect the damage, explain your repair options and give you a clear, itemized estimate before any work begins. You decide what gets repaired and when. Every repair is completed using quality parts and workmanship, and it is backed by our lifetime warranty. With over 20 years of experience repairing vehicles in Hamilton, we help you get the best result for your budget, with no surprises on the final bill.

  • Itemized estimates before work begins

  • Repair options to fit your budget

  • No insurance claim required

  • Dents, scratches, bumpers and minor collision damage

  • Quality repairs with a lifetime warranty

"Someone carved up my door and I brought my car to Harbour Collision, they did an amazing job getting all the scratches out and repainting it!! They also had to replace my mirror. They are very friendly there and I am very pleased with all their help.
I will definitely go back there.
Thanks alot!"

"I recently had my 2021 Buick Envision Avenir repaired at Harbour Collision, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the service! The team not only provided an incredibly affordable price for the repairs but also delivered top-notch service. They were professional, efficient, and kept me updated throughout the entire process. My car looks as good as new, and I’m so happy with the results. Highly recommend Harbour Collision for anyone looking for quality work at a great price!"

"Took my car here for an insurance claim for body damage. They were so helpful and accommodating. They also helped me out with another unrelated issue for free. Very honest and kind service! Definitely recommend!"

Out-of-Pocket Repairs
