Accidents happen. Our job is to fix them.

Nobody would categorize an automobile accident as an enjoyable experience, but the fact of the matter is that with hundreds of thousands of cars on the road in the Charleston area every day, accidents are going to happen. Whether your car skids on a patch of black ice that you could not have seen or somebody else gets careless and bumps into your vehicle in the parking lot, collisions are just a fact of life- especially in busy areas such as the South Carolina Lowcountry. We’re here to help.

Our job at Better Collisions is to take the stress out of the equation for you and get you back on the road as quickly as possible. We completely understand that you have places to be, people to see, and things to do. We also understand that when you enter the driveway of one of our shops, you’re doing so with the belief that your car is going to be fixed up as good as new. Most shops will sacrifice quality for speed, but not us! At Better Collision, you can achieve the peace of mind that comes with knowing that your vehicle will be fixed the right way!

If you happen to have been in an accident, give us a call. We’ll happily show you the benefits of placing your trust in a family-owned business with nearly a half-century of combined experience in the collision repair industry.

In an environment where we are so often frustrated by having to wait to have our issues addressed I was very pleasantly surprised at the service I received as a walk in today from Ora Rothfuss. He solved my problem immediately other shops would have required me leaving the auto for days. Great find here in Mt. Pleasant for those needing auto body work. Highly recommend!!

It is without reservation that I give better collision team my highest recommendation. Luis, Mark, and Peter went ABOVE and beyond to fix the damages on my car and provide me with a white glove experience. I would 100% trust them with services in the future and give this business 5 stars all around. Amazing team.

My daughter was in an accident and this was the place the insurance told us to use. They were very helpful from the start. The receptionist called the rental company for us to be picked up once we arrived. The body personnel looked the vehicle over and gave us an idea of how long it would take to repair it. We got the car back and it looks as good as it originally did.

I was very pleased with the job Better Colliision Mt Pleasant did under Kelly’s care and supervision. The car looks great and I so appreciated Kelly working hard to let me have it much sooner than the original date given for completion. I got it back almost 2 weeks earlier and was able to turn back in my rental car earlier than anticipated which was great because I was having to pay a daily fee for it. I will use them again and recommend this business. They were always polite and helpful and communicated regularly with me and did a great job in the repair! Thank you!

I brought a recently purchased used car in needing extensive brake work. I've been wanting to try Betty's for convenience but didn't need any work til a few days ago. They did a great job replacing my brake pads, rotors, and calipers. It was a quick and friendly process with below market prices. Excellent customer service. I was very impressed that as a new business they already have so many regulars. Add me to the list.

Several months ago we had some damage to our 2018 Equinox. We filed our claim with our insurance company and they had us take the vehicle to Better Collision here in Beaufort. They looked at it and told us what needed to be done and we left it to be repaired. I can’t tell you how great they were. We received updates once or twice a week on their progress. After several weeks they texted us that the passenger door that was needed, was on back order. We understood because the parts are hard to get at this time. Once it came in, they finished it in no time and we went to pick it up. I I wish I could put into words how happy we were with the workmanship they had done. It was perfect. Having said all this, I want to say that anyone that needs collision work done, you will not find a better body shop in Beaufort. Their work and professionalism is over the top. Give them an opportunity to prove themselves.Dave & Judy MillerBeaufort, SC

Chris, Taylor and the whole crew at better collision are fantastic. I told them exactly what I needed for my vehicle and they did exactly that. They didn’t try to sell me anything extra or tell me they couldn’t accommodate the fix that I needed. I highly recommend better collision.

Excellent work. When a non-essential part was delayed, they gave us back our car while we wait. Lifetime warranty (!) Which we probably won't use -- the work is very good, looks like new.

I highly recommend Better Collision - Beaufort Body Shop, and I rarely leave reviews, but this business deserves 5 stars based on service, professionalism, cost, quality of work, and speed. I took my car in on a Monday for a collision estimate and had it back fully repaired and cleaned by Thursday afternoon. The whole process was extremely efficient, which is not a word I use to describe most business transactions these days. Todd the service advisor was excellent.

Better Collision is 1000/10. I cannot recommend this shop enough! My passenger door and fender were crushed and I had no idea where to start. I pulled into Better Collision in Mount Pleasant for help and they got right to work. They even helped me navigate everything with my insurance. Within a week I had an estimate and car repaired and it looks even better than when I bought it! Trey was amazinggggg !!! He helped me and communicated with me every step of the way. Katie up front is the sweetest too! Everyone was so helpful and kind. If you ever need your car fixed this is the place to go hands down!

I went to Better Collision Thursday (Oct 13th) to get an estimate for a “torn” front bumper on my 2007 Honda Civic. Trey Edwards suggested that instead of replacing the bumper which would have been VERY expensive, they could structurally secure the bumper. They did that fix within 15 minutes and FREE-OF-CHARGE! When I have any car that needs work in the future, I’m going to Bettet Collision!

I had a damaged tailgate on a work truck. I spoke with Adam about it and brought it to their shop. I told him it was a work truck that all was needing was to make the tailgate functional. He wouldn’t have it. He stated that if they were going to fix it it would be fixed right. He introduced me to Shane which was awesome. They repaired it and the cost was better than what I expected even if I had cut corners. Adam and Shane rock! Highly recommend Better Collision.

We went to Better Collision Mount Pleasant, from when we arrived, it was great.We met With Mr.Cecil , All communications were spot on, all during the repair of a front collision repair on our Truck.The estimate was written up,dates were set and all went well .Top Professional Service.For us, what was huge in this matter, was Communications between Mr.Cecil and us .He kept us updated upon meeting any changes on the way or just good news (all part were replaced with "OEM"parts,Original Equipment Manufacturer). We got the news our Truck was ready,it took 3 weeks 2days . They really did a Amazing Pro detail on the Truck,as if nothing happened.paint and all matched nicely.I Highly recommend Better Collision Mount Pleasant. If you want it done right Mr.Cecil and his team are the Amazing people you need on your side.

I have an old car with front end damage. I took it to Better Collision in Mt Pleasant for an estimate and told them I didn’t care what it looked like, just wanted it safe to drive. I expected an estimate that might be more than the car was worth but Cecil understood exactly what I wanted. He gave me an estimate in case I wanted to make it pretty but fixed it on the spot so that I was safely on my way in 20 minutes. Awesome service! No overcharging here! I will definitely never go anywhere else. Thank you, Cecil! By the way, we had a delightful non-car conversation as well. Service with a smile.

Currently on a road trip from NYC to Florida, and upon arriving in Charleston there was a piece of rubber under my bumper that became loose and starting dragging.Max was extremely helpful in my car crisis. He told me to bring the car by so they could check it out. About five minutes later Max was back with my car with the bumper in tact.Back on the road safely! Thank you Max & team for your professionalism and kindness! Anyone in a bind should absolutely come here!!

I was hit by a deer and it caused damage on the driver’s side of my car, from front to back fender. The front fender, driver’s door, and outside of back driver’s side door had to be replaced; in addition to repairs to the front fender, bumper, and even the fog light. The Better Collision management, mechanics, and staff provided an outstanding experience from start to finish, from the initial phone call thru handling any additional things that came up after the repairs were completed! Tiffany provided a professional, friendly, and personable experience as she went out of her way to ensure the rental car was available for me at the time I dropped off my car for repairs, kept me updated throughout the repair process, was available for any additional concerns/questions I had throughout the process, and ensured the car was back to its former state and to my complete satisfaction when I got it back. The mechanics are caring, knowledgeable and experienced, as you can see by the results. Tiffany provided proper expectations of the repair process timeline and made sure the parts were ordered and ready before I even took the car in for repairs. And yes, the car looks and drives just as it did before the deer, as if nothing ever happened! Definity, Better Collision is the best body shop in the area, I wouldn’t trust my car with anyone else! Thank you for making this freighting experience such a breeze, and for all the “extras” you did to bring my car back to its original state, and all of it with a big smile on your faces- thank you!!
