Baseline Collision - Auto Body Repairs Since 1976
Originally founded in 1976 by Ivan Celar, Baseline Collision started in a modest 2000 sq ft shop. Ivan, a Slovenian immigrant worked tirelessly quickly building a reputation for quality and service. Ivan soon found himself extremely busy and added his son Dan to the fold teaching him the skills of the trade. In 1977, Dan purchased shares in the company and became his father's partner. Over the years the family run business grew serving many dealerships in the Durham Region and received “preferred” repair facility status with several Insurance companies.
After Ivan retired in 1994, his son Tony Celar left his aviation career to become Dan’s partner. The team of brothers began expanding the business again to an 8000 sq ft shop, with a 500 sq ft. office in the front, hiring a full time secretary and more technicians. In 2002 Mark Krupa came from his car rental agency across the hall and became a third partner. When Mark joined Baseline Collision, he brought his love of custom cars and a renewed commitment to detail.
In 2005, Tony left Baseline to pursue personal interests. Today, Dan’s knowledge of the industry and years in the business combined with Mark’s passion, Baseline Collision has become a household name you can trust.
