Borgman Body Shop: Deer Collision Season is Open!

Monday, November 12th, 2012

One of the most common accidents in Southwest Michigan is car – deer collisions. Borgman Body Shop has gained recognition as “Deer Hit Headquarters” because of our expertise. Each year, there are more than 60,000 reported vehicle-deer crashes in Michigan. About 80 percent of these crashes occur on two-lane roads between dusk and dawn. The most serious crashes occur when motorists swerve to avoid a deer and hit another vehicle or a fixed object, or when their vehicle rolls over.

If you have an accident, bring your vehicle to Borgman Body Shop for a Free Estimate and receive $25.00 on your Owner Advantage Card to be used in our Quick Lane Tire & Auto Center!
