You need to be sure that your car will get fixed as soon as possible and we work with all insurance companies.  

It can be  hard to find the best auto collision repair shop in Marion city since it's not something you need every day.  When you go for an estimate, many want you to make a quick decision about choosing their company.  Without knowing what to look for, you may end up paying a much higher premium for shoddy repair work. 

Why choose Wades' Auto Collision and Body Paint Shop in Marion, IA?

We are a Family Owned Business:

Big auto collision repair shops with a ton of front-office workers will have to charge higher rates. To be able to manage their overhead and pay the salary of their staff. Front desk workers, managers, and technicians will try to market their business to you by giving you a “sense of trust” in the company. But it will bring about higher estimates that include unnecessary work. They will charge you more labor hours at a much higher rate, and your bill will add up quickly.

Wades Auto Collision Repair Shop in  Marion, IA, is a 100% family run business. Wade Chevalier opened the current shop in 2011 with Zach (son) and Sarah (daughter) working on occasion. Now Zach is a body technician focusing on repair and also a backup PPG certified painter. Sarah is the Estimator and office manager.

At Wades Auto Collision Repair Shop in Marion, IA, we use only industry reference guides and quoting systems. These guides estimate the number of hours required to perform common repairs. Suppose you have damage to your fender, bumper, or headlight. We will write an estimate based on the hours assigned in the reference book. 

As a comparison, higher-end shops will decide to charge for all those things they will have to do to fix the problem. Higher-end estimates will include a charge for unnecessary work, such as time spent on removing the hood. And at the door. While in reality, it might be unnecessary to perform this additional work.

More than 40 years of experience in auto body repair: 

We've been helping clients with auto body repair for over 40 years in Eastern Iowa. Auto body repair is an art and passion for us that restores damaged vehicles to their original state. 

  • Limited Lifetime Warranty:

after a run in with a deer, i found Wade’s Auto Collison to do repairs. Wade&Sarah are so kind and their shop does phenomenal work!! i picked my vehicle up and it looks and runs amazing. they take their time to make sure your vehicle is taken care of properly instead of rushing through it to just get it done. due to it being through insurance, i can’t speak on pricing, but i’d gladly pay them out of pocket for the great work their shop does! even with issues with insurance, they got the ball rolling and my vehicle looks and runs like brand new.

I cannot say enough good things about Wade's Auto Collision. Over the past decade, they have consistently exceeded my expectations. Today, Sarah went above and beyond to help install seat molding that required specific tools. Her quick and amazing assistance was exceptional. I highly recommend Wade & Team for all your auto collision needs. They provide top-notch service and always prioritize customer satisfaction

I was referred to Wade's after someone had run into the side of my car while it was parked...completely disappointed I called my mechanic and the very first words out of their mouth was Wade's...of course the insurance company of the party who hit me wanted me to use other places but I chose Wade's and I was so happy I did...the professionalism and talent of the staff showed through the communication and final result...I would absolutely recommend this shop to anyone needing body work, painting, or any other service...A+++++Stacy Wilson

The team at Wade’s took great care of me! Other shops were telling me that it could be months before they could get me in for a minor repair, and their estimates were up to 2X as much. But Wade’s was able to get me an appointment in less than a week, got the repair done in less than a day, and did quality work - you can’t even tell there had been damage. Thanks for the great job!

I've been a devoted customer for many years. He has gotten me through two deer and a drunk driver. I started going to Wade's in 2011 when he first opened. He provides services that other companies don't. For example, on one of my my deer accidents, he got all my lights working so that I could drive my car legally until he could get me in, for the complete repair, with no charge. When the car repairs were finished, the car was completely cleaned inside and out. It was like driving a brand new car. I don't know of any other company that does that. I highly recommend Wade's. He's a no nonsense kind of business. Which I personally prefer. I want to know the truth up front. No "sales" gimmick. I'm a lifer.

Wade, Sarah, and their staff is amazing. My car was hit twice in less than a year while parked and they brought my car back to life in both instances. Over 10k they fixed. They also fought on my behalf when the insurance adjuster was being unfair and unjust. I trusted my car in their hands two times so far and they are the only people I will call going forward.

My daughter rear-ended another vehicle. I was trying to get the car back as soon as possible. Sarah worked with us and was able to come in under our original estimate. The accident was on a Monday and we had the car back by Friday. Not only was it back by Friday, but they had washed the car, cleaned the inside, refilled the window washer fluid, and painted some other scuffs that were not part of the accident. They completely helped and went out of their way to give us the best service possible and were highly empathetic. The best experience for an unfortunate accident.

My second repair action from Wades. Again, another great experience and outcome. I bent my rear car door backwards one day before vacation. Stopped in and Wade muscled it back to shut OK and seal from rain. Wade gave me the repair estimate and Sarah ordered the parts and made all the arrangements to be done when I got back. It all went very smooth and right on budget! Not another soul will ever know what a bone-head thing I did! Thanks much Sarah, Wade and all involved!

My second visit to Wades. Again it was a very nice experience and outcome. 1 day before vacation I bent my rear car door back and it would not close well. I stopped in and Wade worked his magic on it and it fit well enough to continue in the morning with no leaks. I also made plans that day to repair it right, after we got back. Sarah ordered the parts, made all the arrangements and kept me informed about everything as it went. It turned out great! Thanks to them both, along with the technicians that were involved too!
