From minor fender benders to major collision damage, our I-CAR Gold Certified technicians restore your vehicle to pre-accident condition with a lifetime warranty on every repair.
When a collision disrupts your daily routine, you need a repair shop you can trust to get your vehicle back to the condition it was in before the accident. Bob Rohrman Collision Repair Center at 3400 National Drive in Lafayette, Indiana, has been the go-to destination for collision repair across Tippecanoe County, Indiana for more than five decades. Our team of I-CAR Gold Certified technicians combines decades of hands-on expertise with the latest repair technology to deliver results that meet or exceed manufacturer standards. Whether you were rear-ended on South Street, sideswiped in a parking lot off Sagamore Parkway, or involved in a multi-vehicle accident on Interstate 65, we have the skills, equipment, and dedication to restore your vehicle safely and completely.
Collision repair is far more than hammering out dents and applying a fresh coat of paint. Modern vehicles are engineered with advanced materials, complex crumple zones, and integrated electronic safety systems that all must be addressed during a proper repair. At Bob Rohrman Collision Repair Center, our collision repair services encompass every aspect of restoring your vehicle to its pre-accident condition.
Structural repair is the foundation of any collision fix. Using computerized measuring systems, we map your vehicle's frame and unibody against factory specifications down to the millimeter. If the frame has been bent, twisted, or pushed out of alignment, our hydraulic frame straightening equipment brings every reference point back to where it belongs. This step is critical because even a slight deviation in structural geometry can compromise your vehicle's crash safety, cause uneven tire wear, and lead to handling problems on the road.
Cosmetic repair addresses the visible damage that collision impacts leave behind. This includes panel replacement, dent removal, filler work, primer application, and precision auto body painting with computerized color matching. We use premium waterborne paints and clear coats that match your factory finish so closely that the repaired area is virtually indistinguishable from the rest of the vehicle.
Mechanical repair covers the components under the hood and beneath the chassis that may have been damaged in the impact. Radiators, condensers, suspension components, steering linkages, exhaust systems, and drivetrain parts are all inspected and replaced as needed. We use OEM and OEM-equivalent parts to maintain your vehicle's reliability and warranty coverage.
Every collision repair also includes recalibration of advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), including forward collision warning, lane departure systems, blind-spot monitoring, and parking sensors. These systems rely on cameras and radar modules that must be precisely aligned after any structural or glass repair work.

Our Lafayette collision repair facility handles every type of accident damage, from minor parking lot incidents to severe highway collisions. Here are the most common types of collision damage we see and repair:
Fender benders. The most common type of collision, fender benders typically involve low-speed impacts that cause dents, scratches, and cracked bumper covers. While the damage may appear cosmetic, fender benders can affect bumper reinforcement bars, headlight and taillight assemblies, and hood or trunk alignment. We restore everything to factory condition.
Rear-end collisions. Being struck from behind can damage your trunk, rear bumper, tailgate, rear body panel, exhaust system, and fuel system components. In more severe impacts, the rear frame rails and floor pan can be pushed forward. Our computerized measuring system ensures the entire rear structure is brought back to specification.
Side-impact collisions. Side impacts, including T-bone accidents at intersections, can cause extensive damage to doors, rocker panels, B-pillars, and side curtain airbag systems. These repairs require careful attention to structural integrity because the side of the vehicle provides critical occupant protection in future collisions. We replace or repair every affected component to maintain full crash safety.
Rollover damage. Rollover accidents often cause damage to the roof, A-pillars, windshield, and glass panels throughout the vehicle. Roof structure integrity is essential for occupant safety, and these repairs must follow precise manufacturer procedures. Our technicians have the training and equipment to handle these complex repairs.
Multi-vehicle collisions. Accidents involving multiple impacts can cause damage to virtually every area of the vehicle simultaneously. These complex repairs require the most thorough damage assessment and a comprehensive repair plan that addresses structural, cosmetic, mechanical, and electronic damage across the entire vehicle. This is where our experience and I-CAR Gold certification truly set us apart.
Hit-and-run and parking lot damage. From shopping cart dents to sideswipes from unknown drivers, parking lot damage is frustrating. Whether the responsible party is identified or not, we work with your insurance to repair the damage and can also handle bumper repairs and minor collision work on a self-pay basis with competitive pricing.
