Good luck to our 13AAA team as they begin their second State Tournament this weekend! ⚾

Watching this group take the field got us thinking about all the teams that came before them so these photos are just a few from the 1990s, when Randy was coaching many of our sponsored teams. His time in the dugout eventually came to an end, but his commitment to supporting Austin youth baseball never did.

Today, Collision Specialists is proud to continue that tradition.

To our 13AAA team—good luck this weekend. Enjoy every inning, represent Austin well, and know you're part of a tradition that's been making memories for decades. We're proud to have our name on your jerseys and will be cheering you on all weekend.

Not every collision repair ends with paint. Many of today's vehicles are equipped with cameras and sensors that help power features like lane keeping, adaptive cruise control, blind spot monitoring, and automatic emergency braking.

After the majority of repairs, those systems need to be calibrated to manufacturer specifications before the job is truly complete.

It's one of the many steps that happens behind the scenes to help ensure your vehicle is repaired the right way.

The office on the left wasn't fancy. It was small, standing room only, and filled with training certificates, repair manuals, and long days. That's where the foundation was built.

Today, the space looks different. The technology is different and the vehicles are more advanced than ever. But the standard hasn't changed.

For 45 years, we've believed every repair deserves the same attention to detail, the same commitment to quality, and the same respect for the people who trust us with their vehicles.

Thank you Southern Minnesota, for trusting us since 1981.

Forty-five years ago, Randy opened the doors to a one-car garage with one simple goal: do quality work and treat people right.

Over the years, that one-car garage became Randy's Auto Body, and eventually grew into the Collision Specialists Inc you know today.

A lot has changed over the last 45 years. Vehicles have changed. Technology has changed. Repair methods have changed. But what hasn't changed is our commitment to doing the job right and taking care of the people who place their trust in us.

To every customer, employee, friend, supplier, and community member who has been part of our story... Thank you!

Because of you, we're proud to celebrate 45 years of serving Southern Minnesota.

How long have you been part of the Collision Specialists story? We'd love to hear your memories in the comments.
