Palmer is a WBE and MBE with the City of Houston.  Being in business for more than 20 years, she has learned that a satisfied customer is the best advertisement for Autos R Us Collision Center.  Her goal is for customers to be so completely satisfied with their experience at Autos R Us Collision Center that they’ll want to tell others about them.  Autos R Us Collision Center provides more competitive collision repair services, while revolutionizing the automotive industry with new and innovative techniques of outstanding services, serving Houston and the surrounding areas.
