About us

Founded in 1990 by Lee and Leila Bates, Bates Collision Centers have held steadfast to it's mission to be the collision repair center of "choice" in the Bay Area of Texas! Their approach has been multi-faceted by maintaining a rigorous training program for all staff, as well as utilizing state-of-the-art equipment. The Bates staff undergoes specialized ongoing training provided by many of the top names in the collision repair industry, including: I-CAR, ASE, Akzo Nobel, and Sikkens. Bates Collision Centers is also a direct repair center for a large number of insurance companies. This means customers can benefit from expedited claims due to electronic billing and digital imaging capabilities, which ultimately transitions into seamless communications between our repair-center staff and the insurance agents. Inevitably, this leads to shorter turnaround times on repairs, as well as extremely satisfied customers.
