Having Your Car Repaired


  1. Your car is the second largest investment you’re likely to make. Preserve its value and your safety by having it repaired professionally.
     
  2. Never drive a car that could be unsafe because of damages.

  4. You are not required by law to obtain more than one estimate or appraisal.
     
  5. You have the right to go to the repair shop of your choice regardless of your insurance companies recommendations.
     
  6. Differences in repair estimates are common. A lower estimate may not include all necessary work. If you’re not sure why one estimate is different from another you’ve received ask the shop manager.
     
  7. Ask if the shop will be using genuine manufacturer (OEM) replacement parts.
     
  8. Ask if the shop offers a written repair warranty.


     
 
 

FAQ


When will my car be done?
Things that can affect the repair timeline include weather, holidays, the delay of part delivery, and working with the insurance companies. Typical repairs need supplements written to include repairs that your insurance companies missed in their original estimate. If we work off of our own estimate and don’t have to wait for insurance company approval, we are more likely to give you an accurate return date. Unfortunately, the timeline is sometimes out of our hands and has nothing to do with our process at the shop. 


What's our warranty or guarantee?
We offer a lifetime body/paint guaranty, manufacturers part warranty, and color match. 


What's the difference between after-market and OEM Parts?
After-market parts are parts that are manufactured by a company other than the car manufacturer, while OEM are brand-new factory manufactured parts. Unfortunately, some insurance companies “fine print” states that they are allowed to write up estimates that require the use of after-market parts. While we prefer using OEM parts, this is beyond our control. We do make sure that the after-market parts are “safe” and “undamaged,” and will not but a sub-par part on your vehicle. 


What if something goes wrong after my car is returned?
Our techs do a very thorough job, but occasionally there are issues that arrive once the car has been driven again after the accident. Most of this is difficult to predict, but please contact us immediately if something does not seem to be right. 


Is your paint as durable as the manufacturers?
Our paint is not as durable as the manufacturers, however we do stand behind our lifetime warranty on all of our paint work.


Do you have drop-off service?
We do have a dropbox where you can leave your keys if you need to drop the vehicle off before or after hours.


I got hit by someone, what are my rental car options through my insurance company?
If you have been hit and the accident is not your fault, you are entitled to vehicle of “like-kind.” I.e. If you have an SUV your insurance company is required to give you something similar. However, you must check your policy to see if you have rental coverage.


What if the repair costs are more than my car is worth?
You do have options. Talk to us about your situation. 


Who do I pay my deductible to?

Do I need more than one estimate?

Can I have my vehicle repaired at the shop of my choice?
Yes, it is your responsibility, and your right, to choose who will repair your vehicle. Often times insurance companies will try to steer you towards certain shops, and it is not always in your benefit. Know that you have a LEGAL RIGHT to decide where you would like your car repaired.
