Forty years of repairing the Ark-La-Tex one vehicle at a time — to factory standards, with names you know and a handshake you can count on.
Yokem Collision Center has been repairing vehicles in Shreveport for over 40 years. Two of those decades have been spent at our current location at 1199 E. Bert Kouns Industrial Loop — a facility built specifically for the kind of certified collision work that defines the modern industry.
We’ve stayed family-owned the entire time. Not part of a chain. Not owned by a private equity group. Not answering to a corporate office in another state. Just a Shreveport business, run by people who live here, accountable to the neighbors who drive in every day.
We didn’t last 40 years by cutting corners. We lasted by doing the work right, every time, on every vehicle.
The collision repair industry has changed enormously since we opened. Vehicles are more complex. Safety systems are more sophisticated. The cost of doing the job correctly has gone up. The temptation to cut corners has gone up with it.
What hasn’t changed is what we believe: your vehicle deserves to be repaired the way the manufacturer engineered it. With factory-spec parts. With factory-trained technicians. With your name on a written warranty. Anything less isn’t repair — it’s just patching.
Forty years has taught us what matters. These are the things we won’t compromise on, no matter what.
Same ownership, same standards, same accountability. Decisions made here, not in a corporate boardroom.
OEM parts, factory procedures, and certified technicians on every repair. No “close enough” — only correct.
We work for you, not the insurance company. Repairs done right — never compromised for someone else’s bottom line.
One advisor from drop-off to pickup. Real updates. Clear timelines. A name and number you can call.
We’re at 1199 E. Bert Kouns Industrial Loop, open Monday through Friday, 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM. Walk in for a free estimate, or call ahead and we’ll have someone ready to meet you.
