When a semi is down, your operation feels it. Airlake Collision Center 1 is built for exactly this kind of repair: heavy-duty trucks, commercial vehicles, and the customers who depend on them.
A collision doesn’t just damage a truck. It disrupts routes, delays deliveries, and puts pressure on your whole operation. Most passenger-vehicle body shops aren’t equipped to handle a Class 8 truck, and a general repair shop that occasionally takes on truck work isn’t the same as a facility built around it.
Airlake Collision Center 1 is Collision Center 1’s dedicated heavy-duty commercial repair division. Our 21,000-square-foot facility in Farmington, MN is set up for the kind of repair work that larger commercial vehicles actually require. We serve fleet owners, trucking companies, owner-operators, and commercial businesses across Minnesota, Iowa, and Nebraska.
Airlake is a dedicated commercial repair facility. Heavy-duty and medium-duty truck repair is the focus, not an occasional service we fit in between passenger vehicles.
When you bring a semi truck, 18-wheeler, tractor-trailer, or Class 8 vehicle to Airlake, you’re working with a team that understands what the repair involves, communicates clearly throughout, and gets the truck back to you in proper condition.
Airlake is backed by Collision Center 1, a locally owned Minnesota repair group with roots going back to 1962. That history doesn’t make your truck get fixed faster. But it does mean you’re working with an organization that takes the repair seriously and stands behind the work.
We keep the process practical from the first call to the day your truck goes back to work.
We look at the damage, ask the right questions, and walk you through what the repair involves in plain terms.
Our team coordinates the details, handles the insurance side when applicable, and keeps you informed at each stage.
Body work, structural repair, paint, and refinishing are handled in our facility by our team.
The goal is a vehicle that's repaired right and ready to go back to work.
Full collision repair for heavy-duty trucks, including structural and body damage from accidents, impacts, and road incidents. We assess the full extent of the damage before work begins and repair to proper standards.
Damaged cab panels, doors, fenders, hoods, and exterior body components are repaired or replaced based on the condition of the damage and what the repair requires. We don't cut corners on components that affect the truck's function or safety.
When an impact reaches the frame or structural components of a heavy-duty truck, the repair has to go deeper than the surface. Structural repairs are handled to proper standards with the goal of restoring the vehicle's integrity.
Airlake uses PPG Envirobase and fleet paint systems. We match color carefully and finish the surface to a professional standard, whether that is a single cab panel or a full truck refinish.
Not every dent comes from a collision. If a truck comes in with body damage from a dock strike, a loading incident, or general wear, we can assess it and handle the repair the same way we would any other body work job.
Heavy-duty truck repair is specialized work. Fleet managers and trucking companies will route a truck to the right facility, and Airlake is built to be that facility for the region. We serve commercial customers along the I-35, I-80, and I-90 corridors, including the Twin Cities metro, greater Minnesota, Iowa, and Nebraska. If you're looking for a repair partner your operation can count on, we're built for it.
