Three Generations of Collision Repair Excellence

We're located in Ranburne, Alabama and proudly serve Cleburne, Randolph, Calhoun, and Carroll counties and beyond — including Heflin, Anniston, Oxford, Fruithurst, and Edwardsville in Alabama, and Carrollton, Bremen, Temple, and Villa Rica in Georgia. With our 24-hour towing service, we can pick up your vehicle from anywhere in the surrounding area across East Alabama and West Georgia.

In most cases, your insurance company covers the cost of the repair. If the damage was caused by another driver, their insurance pays. For incidents where you're at fault, your collision coverage kicks in and you only pay your deductible. If you don't have insurance or prefer not to file a claim, we're happy to work with you directly and can provide a detailed estimate upfront so there are no surprises.

It depends on the extent of the damage. Minor dents and scratches can often be fixed in a few hours to a day. Bumper replacements or panel repairs typically take 2 to 5 days. More extensive collision damage that involves structural work or waiting on parts can take 1 to 3 weeks. Full restorations may take several weeks or longer. We'll give you a clear time estimate after the initial assessment and keep you updated throughout the process.

First, you bring your vehicle in for a free assessment. We inspect the damage and put together a detailed repair plan. If you're going through insurance, we send the estimate to your provider for approval before any work begins. For out-of-pocket repairs, we can usually get started right away once you approve the quote. After the repair is complete, we do a final quality check and walk you through everything before you drive off.

A car garage, or mechanic shop, handles what's under the hood: engine repairs, oil changes, brake work, and other mechanical and maintenance services. A body shop specializes in the exterior and structure of your vehicle: dent repair, paint work, frame straightening, and collision damage. If your car was in an accident and has visible damage to panels, bumpers, or the frame, you need a body shop. If your engine light is on or your brakes are squeaking, that's a job for a mechanic.

Ledbetter's is a 3rd generation family business. Founded in 1962 by Frank Ledbetter, the shop was taken over by his son Chris in 1995 and is now run day-to-day by Frank's grandsons Mason and Levi. Chris still owns the business and remains involved. It's a true family operation with over 60 years of experience behind it.

Yes. If you can't bring your vehicle to us, we'll come to you. We offer pick up and delivery service so your repair fits your schedule. Just give us a call and we'll work out the details.

We accept cash, checks, and all major credit cards. We also work directly with all insurance companies to handle claims on your behalf.

No. You have the legal right to choose any licensed body shop you want, regardless of what your insurance company suggests. Your insurer may recommend preferred shops, but they cannot require you to use one. Choosing your own shop means you pick a team you trust to do the job right, and your claim will be handled the same way either way.
