Collision Repair in Ranburne, AL | Ledbetter's Body
Collision Repair in Ranburne, AL
The shop sits on Frank Ledbetter Memorial Drive. Frank opened it in 1962, his son Chris took ownership in 1995 and still owns it, and Frank's grandsons Mason and Levi run the floor day to day. When a road in your town carries your grandfather's name, the incentive to do a job halfway is fairly limited.
We work with insurers, not for them
That distinction is the whole operating principle here. Every carrier is welcome and we handle the claim paperwork ourselves. But when an adjuster's estimate leaves out an operation the vehicle actually needs, we say so and document why, rather than quietly writing the repair down to fit the check. The customer's interest comes first. That has been the rule for three generations and it is not negotiable.
Pre-accident condition, meaning all of it
A vehicle leaves this auto body shop structurally correct, not just visually correct. That means the panel behind the panel, the corrosion protection inside a replacement part, the seam sealer, and the wheel alignment after any suspension or structural work. A car that looks right and pulls to the left was not repaired.
Where our collision work comes from
We are the collision shop for Cleburne County, Alabama, and for a good stretch around it. Vehicles arrive from Ranburne, Heflin, Fruithurst, and Edwardsville, from Anniston and Oxford, and from Carrollton, Bremen, Temple, and Villa Rica across the Georgia line. Out here the nearest alternative is often another county over, which is exactly why we keep the frame equipment, the paint booth, and the wrecker under one roof instead of sending work out.
If your vehicle is not drivable, say so when you call and we will come and get it.
What people tell us matters
A couple side-swiped on the way back from Atlanta wrote that we laid out the game plan and kept them updated the whole way, then delivered the van to them clean inside and out. Another customer noted the car came back on the schedule we promised. Communication and hitting a date are not extras; they are most of what makes a hard week easier.
Free assessment, all makes and models, pick up and delivery available. Call (256) 568-3423, or come by weekdays between 7:30 AM and 4:30 PM.
