Collision Repair in Saint Albans, VT | O'Grady's

1 min read

Ryan O'Grady has spent twenty-five years in collision repair, and O'Grady's on South Main Street is where that experience gets applied. All makes and models, foreign and domestic, personal vehicles and commercial.

Deer season is our busy season

Franklin County drivers know the pattern. Late October through November, dawn and dusk, and a deer comes out of the treeline on Route 7 or one of the back roads toward Fairfield. Those impacts land square on the front clip: hood, grille, radiator support, one headlamp assembly, and frequently the leading edge of a fender.

Deer strikes go through comprehensive coverage rather than collision, which usually means no fault assigned and no effect on your premium. Worth knowing before you decide whether to file.

Winter damage looks different

Salt-slick roads produce low-speed impacts into guardrails and snowbanks, and a snowbank hides whatever is underneath it. Sliding into what turns out to be a buried curb or a frozen berm does far more than the speed suggests. We check underneath rather than assuming a soft landing.

How the repair runs

Free estimate first, in writing, with no obligation. If a claim is involved we send it to your adjuster and keep the correspondence on our side. Ryan handles that communication personally, which is what most of our reviews end up mentioning.

Hidden damage gets documented and supplemented rather than absorbed or quietly skipped.

Independent

We are not on any insurance company's Direct Repair Program. Vermont drivers choose their own auto body shop, whatever a carrier suggests, and we answer to the person who owns the vehicle.
