Merging crashes are more common than many drivers realize. Trying to merge onto highways or into another lane can be tricky, which is why so many accidents tend to occur.
How Merging Collisions Happen
When driving on a road or highway that has more than one lane going in the same direction, it is common for cars to merge in and out of lanes while trying to arrive at their end destination. If you have had a merging collision, Ogden Body Shop, Inc is the best place to take your vehicle. Not because we say we’re the best, but because that is what our customers say about us.
With an increasing number of vehicles hitting the roads today, highways and interstates are becoming more congested. Accidents can frequently happen when vehicles are merging from a ramp onto a highway or freeway. These types of accidents are likely to happen when the highway is moving fast, but lanes are crowded so multiple vehicles are trying to merge.
Merging crashes can happen for a few different reasons:
- Merging onto the highway too slowly or too fast
- Changing lanes without a signal
- Cutting off another vehicle
- Crossing over multiple lanes quickly
Unfortunately, some drivers might have trouble judging the distance between cars or are not paying close enough attention when trying to merge. A merging collision, regardless of the speed, can be damaging to a vehicle’s structure. Especially if you are merging at a somewhat high speed, damage to your car and the other car will probably be very serious. This is why some merging collisions result in fatalities and/or totaled cars.
When we get a car that was involved in a merging accident, we look for any exterior as well as underlying damage that might be present. We take the time to properly assess the damage of your vehicle so that we can give you an accurate time frame and cost of your vehicle’s repair.

We Can Help All Collision Repairs, Fender Benders, Merging Crashes
When we have a vehicle that has been in a merging collision, we start in the damaged area and take everything down to the frame. Merging damage can range from small dents and scratches to structural repair and full panel replacement, depending on how fast you and the other car were going when the collision happened.
Depending on the severity of the collision the vehicle may cost more to repair than the vehicle is worth. In that case, the insurance company will pay you for the book value of the vehicle. If it is repairable, then we must send an estimate to the insurance company for approval to do the repairs.
Once the repairs are approved, we get to work on your vehicle! This is a process and we do everything by the numbers, so we make sure your vehicle is as good as new after your accident.

The repair process is directly correlated to the success of the service at the end of the project. If a technician is not willing to put in the time to be thorough, the vehicle will be serviced quick but not safe or done to standard. This likely means you will soon need the vehicle serviced again, or will quickly realize you need to bring it to another shop. If the process takes too long, you will most likely get a vehicle that is safe, but that took up too much time waiting for.
Lucky for you, the experts at Ogden Body Shop have the perfect repair process down pat! The first step to this process is you giving our shop a call. During this call, we will ask what type of services you were looking for, if you were recently in an accident, etc. At the end of the call, we will schedule an appointment so we can observe the car ourselves and see what we think will need to be done. We will then communicate this with you and make sure that you understand everything we are planning to do, including our methods, how long we believe it will take, etc. The first step in the process of actually servicing your vehicle, we disassemble or “teardown” the area of your vehicle that has been damaged. This is a necessary step so we can see beneath just the superficial, and determine whether or not there is deeper, more serious damage. This is also the part of the process when our appraiser from the Motor Vehicle Physical Damage Appraisers (MVPD) comes to assess for himself. When his job is done, a full written cost is made. The last step of the process is servicing the vehicle to your situation’s specific needs. This also involves ensuring that the framework is up to industry safety standards, and has not been compromised in the collision. Once we have finished servicing your vehicle, we will give you a call and arrange for pick up. At this time, if we have given you an Enterprise rental car to use while your car was being serviced, you can trade that car back to us. We will return the rental for you, so all you have to worry about is taking your vehicle back home with you!
We Help
Make The
Insurance
Process
Easy
Accepted Carriers
The last thing we want our customers to feel is stress. After an accident, you have enough on your plate, and the last thing you want to deal with is an auto body repair shop that doesn’t accept your insurance. That is why we take a number of insurance carriers, including Geico, Progressive, Travelers, and more! We strive to make your life as stress-free as possible following your collision, and that is why we offer as many options as possible. We want to be able to help you, not make things harder for you!
Other Unique Benefits Ogden Body Shop Is Proud To Offer
One of the most notable benefits we offer is pickup and delivery services. When you initially call us, you can let us know if you will need a rental car to use while we finish servicing your vehicle. We will have an Enterprise car rental ready for whenever you drop your car off, and then will swap with you when your car is ready to be brought home. We bring the rental car back, so you have no responsibilities except to drive your serviced vehicle home!
That isn’t the only unique benefit we offer- we also offer free car repair estimates! It is important to note that we do charge for estimates, but that initial estimate fee is waived when you allow us to do the post accident repairs! This means that the only cost you have to worry about is the cost of the repairs themselves.

Dallin Johnson2021-05-07Ogden Body Shop is hands down the best and most hassle free shop to work with. Josh is honest, experienced, and an all around good guy. I brought my truck to them after a not so great experience with a different shop a few weeks prior. Everything was perfect from drop off to pick up. and the finished product....Beautiful.
Terry Gleave2021-04-30The guys at Ogden Autobody were great to work with. I had them do a custom paint job and repair on my Harley gas tank and they really went above and beyond. They came out to my house and did a tank fitting to make sure the location and positioning of the tank decal was exactly where it needed to be on the tank in correlation to how the tank would sit on the bike once it was installed. During the painting process they sent me text updates and pictures to keep me updated on the progress of the tank. The end result is the tank has a great paint job and the positioning of the decals turned out perfect. I highly recommend using Ogden Autobody for your auto painting and repair needs.
Amanda Kubiak2021-04-26This is hands down the best body shop. I was in an accident awhile ago and it’s been a nightmare dealing with the insurance company. Josh took over immediately and helped me get things moving along so that I could get my vehicle repaired. He went above and beyond anything I would have ever imagined any body shop/ customer service professional to do. Once I was able to drop my vehicle off, he had it back to me in no time. I will never go to another body shop again (hopefully I won’t need to) but I will never forget how great they took care of me. Even though you know that they have other customers to take care of, they treat each individual like a top priority and that’s rare these days.
Michelle Peasley2021-04-24Yes, take your car there to get fixed. This place is FIRST CLASS. Accidents happen and this place is amazing! From the time I dropped my car off Josh was on top of everything. He kept me informed of every step that was happening on my car. Communication is the key to a happy client. Definitely call this place to get your car fixed perfectly.
Gregory Butcher2021-04-23Josh and his crew are amazing at their job. They kept me informed on status. Had a logistical problem with a part showing up fairly late, so one worker stayed to finish up the repair. It looks like the car I bought before the accident. Outstanding work and an exceptional company.
Nathan Jones2021-04-23Great service very accommodating excellent work would recommend to my close friends
Norcal Dave2021-04-16Lots of choices, but really glad I went with Ogden Body Shop to get a front grill replaced and front half of the car repainted due to highway pitting. Josh, from Ogden Body helped me to determine what work I needed to make my car look new again. He also worked with me when I looked at buying the grill after-market as the dealer prices were outrageous. He was very clear and up-front about the work and what could be done, and the finished product was as best as I could have hoped. Prices were also very reasonable, so I can't imagine going anywhere else for body or paint work should the need arise.
Desean Bryant2021-04-10Josh was an awesome guy to work with. Very smooth process and helped me every step of the way. Handled everything with little hassle, would 100% recommend!
Kris Rose2021-04-09This company was very accommodating. Josh kept me informed throughout the whole process of the repair of my car as well as he sent me pictures of the progress of the repair. The bid I received was the best value with the highest quality of work done on my vehicle. The finished product exceeds my expectations. I would definitely recommend them to my family and friends.
