In 1975, John Gagliano opened a body shop on Nine Mile Road in Warren, naming
it Motor City Collision. Ten years later he opened another shop in Sterling
Heights Michigan and changed the company name to Collex Collision Experts. Two
decades have passed and Collex Collision Experts has grown into 11 locations,
becoming Metro-Detroit's #1 collision repair facility in the process. In April
of 2007, Collex Collision Experts branched out beyond Michigan, opening a
location in Ft. Myers, Florida.
According to Gagliano, the growth of
Collex Collision Experts can be traced to a
consistently high quality of workmanship, excellent customer service, and a
company philosophy that is securely grounded in a high code of conduct. Gagliano
states that over 70% of Collex Collision Experts customers come from referrals
and repeat customers.
Today Collex Collision Experts remains the leader of Metro-Detroit’s highly
competitive collision repair industry. Collex Collision Experts is also becoming
known in Southwest Florida for the same high quality service. Among the
