Stone’s Collision Center and Mike’s Body Shop: What Each Offers in Jackson

If the collision just happened, do these things before you think about shops at all.

• Get everyone somewhere safe and call 911 if anyone may be hurt.
• Call law enforcement. In Jackson that is the Teton County Sheriff at (307) 733-4052, or the Wyoming Highway Patrol at 911.
• Photograph everything: all four corners of your vehicle, the other vehicle, the licence plates, the road, and the surrounding area.
• Exchange insurance and contact details. Do not discuss fault at the scene.
• Open the claim with your insurer and write down the claim number.
• If the vehicle is not drivable, have it towed somewhere safe. You can have it towed to us and decide later. A tow to a shop is not a commitment to that shop.

Once the vehicle is safe, call us at (307) 733-6461 and we will walk you through what happens next. Nothing about the repair decision has to be made in the first hour.

Stone’s body shop is part of Stone’s Auto Group, the Jackson dealership group formerly known as Teton Motors. Its published body shop address is 405 Powderhorn Lane, Jackson, WY 83001, with a phone number of (307) 733-6600, and its published hours are Monday to Friday, 7:30 AM to 5:00 PM. The body shop handles collision repair along with scratch and dent work.

One point of clarification, because it trips people up online: there is a separate and entirely unrelated business called Stone’s Collision Center in Morehead City, North Carolina. Some comparison pages on the internet have mixed the two up. Nothing on this page is taken from the North Carolina company.

Beyond that we will not characterise another business, its work, or its customers. Call them directly if you want to know more about what they offer. The rest of this page covers what Mike’s Body Shop offers.

Mike’s Body Shop is independent. We are not part of a dealership group and never have been, and there are a few practical things that follow from that.

• We work on every make. Toyota, Subaru, Ford, Chevrolet, Jeep, Ram, GMC, Honda, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Lexus and Tesla all come through our doors. Whatever is in your driveway, it is very likely a make we work on regularly.
• One shop, one set of people. The estimator who writes your number works in the same building as the technician who does the work and the painter who sprays it, so you can talk to the people handling your vehicle.
• Parts sourced for the repair. We are not tied to one manufacturer’s parts counter, so we source what the repair and your insurance policy call for, and we will show you the line items.
• Fifty-plus years in one place. We opened in Jackson in 1973 and we are still at 1705 Martin Ln. Our lifetime guarantee is only as good as the shop behind it, and this one has been here a long time.

Whatever you decide, call more than one shop, ask each of them what they will put in writing, and take the estimate that explains itself. Ours are free and we are happy to walk you through every line.

Here is everything we bring to your repair. All of it is on our own site, and we will stand behind every line of it on the phone.

• In business since 1973. More than fifty years repairing collision damage in Jackson Hole, at 1705 Martin Ln.
• Lifetime guarantee on body and structural repairs. Our guarantee covers all body and structural repairs performed at our shop for as long as you own the vehicle.
• Free written estimates. Walk in during business hours, no appointment needed. The estimate usually takes about thirty minutes and costs nothing. You can also send us photos and we will call you back with a number.
• Your insurance claim, handled for you. We file the claim, talk to the adjuster, submit supplements when hidden damage turns up during disassembly, and bill your insurer directly. You should not have to project-manage your own accident. See our insurance claims page for how that works step by step.
• CCC One estimating. We write estimates in CCC One, the same estimating platform most insurers use, which keeps our line items and theirs in the same language and takes friction out of the claim.
• Computerized frame measuring and straightening. Structural damage is measured against factory dimensions rather than judged by eye. Details on our frame straightening page.
• Computerized colour matching and a climate-controlled booth for paint refinishing.
• Pickup and delivery, with complimentary interior detailing often included, so the vehicle comes back to you clean as well as fixed.
• Locally owned and independent. We work on all makes, and the person who writes your estimate works in the same building as the person who repairs your vehicle.

If you want any of that confirmed before you commit to anything, call (307) 733-6461 and ask. We would rather answer questions than have you guess.

These questions are worth asking at any shop you call, including ours. A good shop will answer all of them plainly, and we will.

• How long have you been repairing vehicles here? A warranty is a promise about the future, so it is worth knowing how long the shop making it has been around. We opened in 1973.
• Is my vehicle unibody or body-on-frame, and how will you measure it? Most cars and crossovers built today are unibody, meaning the body panels and the structure are one welded assembly. Most pickups are body-on-frame. Structural repairs on either should be verified against factory dimensions with measuring equipment, not judged by eye. Ours are.
• What does the warranty cover, for how long, and can I see it in writing? Warranties on workmanship, on paint, and on parts are three different things. Our guarantee covers body and structural repairs for as long as you own the vehicle.
• Who handles my insurance claim, me or you? At Mike’s the answer is us. We file it, we submit the supplements, and we bill the insurer directly.
• What parts will you use, and who decides? OEM parts come from the vehicle manufacturer. Aftermarket parts are made by a third party. Recycled parts are original parts pulled from another vehicle. Your insurance policy language usually governs which are paid for. Ask the shop to show you the parts line items on the estimate.
• How do you handle hidden damage? Once a vehicle is disassembled, damage that was not visible at estimate time often appears. The additional request sent to the insurer is called a supplement. Ask how supplements are documented and how they affect your timeline.
• Does my vehicle have cameras or radar behind the damaged area? Many vehicles carry driver assistance sensors in bumpers, grilles, mirrors and windshields. Those often require recalibration after a repair even when they look untouched.
• How will you keep me updated? Ask specifically who will call you and how often. Our estimator will call you by name.

More on this in our guide to choosing a body shop after an accident.

Parts come up in every collision claim, so here is the vocabulary without the sales pitch.

• OEM parts are made by or for the vehicle manufacturer and carry the brand. They fit to factory tolerance and generally cost the most.
• Aftermarket parts are made by an unrelated manufacturer to fit the same application. Quality genuinely varies by part and by supplier.
• Recycled parts, sometimes called LKQ for “like kind and quality,” are original manufacturer parts taken from another vehicle. For things like a door shell or a tailgate they can be an excellent option.

Which category gets used is usually governed by your insurance policy language rather than by the shop’s preference. We will show you the parts line items on your estimate, tell you which category each falls into, and tell you what the difference in cost would be if you wanted to change one. Our OEM versus aftermarket parts guide goes into more detail.

One practical Jackson note that applies at every shop in town: we are a long way from most parts distribution centres. Whatever category of part your repair uses, transit time is a real component of your timeline. Fifty years of ordering into this valley means we know which suppliers actually deliver on schedule, and we build that into the date we give you. See how long collision repair takes for more on this.

Wildlife strikes are an ordinary part of the collision workload in this valley, and they produce a damage pattern that is genuinely different from a car-to-car impact. We have been repairing them here since 1973.

The Wyoming Game & Fish Department reports that drivers are involved in more than 6,000 wildlife collisions on Wyoming roadways annually, and that 80 to 85 percent of those crashes involve mule deer. Risk concentrates at dawn and dusk, and rises during the spring and fall migrations.

Locally, the Jackson Hole Wildlife Foundation reports that after exclusionary fencing and wildlife underpasses were installed on South Highway 89 between 2018 and 2022, collisions on that stretch dropped by at least 30 percent. Their tracking of elk, moose and mule deer collisions draws on Nature Mapping Jackson Hole, WYDOT and Wyoming Game & Fish data covering 2011 to 2023.

Why it matters for the repair: a large animal strike loads the vehicle high and often centrally. Radiators, condensers, cooling fans and hood latches take damage that a low-speed bumper hit would not reach, airbags may deploy, and the sensors mounted behind the grille frequently need recalibration afterwards. We check cooling system integrity and sensor calibration after an animal strike, not just body panels. Our animal collision repair page covers the process, and our guide to what to do after hitting a deer covers the first hour.

Mike’s Body Shop is an independent business and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or partnered with any other shop named on this page. Anything stated here about another business was taken from that business’s own published information as of July 2026, and we have deliberately kept it brief and factual. Shops change what they offer. Call them and call us, and confirm anything that matters to your decision.
