About Auto Collision Specialists, LLC

Family-Owned. Factory-Certified. Focused on You.

Since 1980, Auto Collision Specialists, LLC (ACS) has proudly served Reisterstown, Baltimore, and surrounding communities with expert collision repair and personalized, family-owned service.

At ACS, we blend small-town values with big-league expertise. We’re known for doing the job right the first time and for treating every customer like family.

With more than 40 years of proven results, Mercedes-Benz factory certification, and a customer-first mindset, Auto Collision Specialists, LLC remains the body shop of choice for drivers across Reisterstown, Owings Mills, Westminster, and the Greater Baltimore area.

Our Story: Built on Pride, Grown on Trust

Founder Chuck Scilipote opened ACS in July 1980, doing every repair himself – from estimates to refinishing. Over four decades later, his passion for precision and commitment to quality continues through the daily work of his wife Carey and their sons Charles, Dan, and Andrew, all active members of the ACS team.

As a family-owned and operated business, we’ve earned the loyalty of generations of customers. Our relationships are built on trust, transparency, and results that speak for themselves.
