Before you visit
Good questions.
Straight answers.
A little clarity makes the next step easier.
Do you work with insurance claims?
Yes. Tell us whether you have an open claim and bring the claim information if available. We can discuss the estimate and documentation needed for your repair. Coverage and payment decisions remain with your insurer.
Can I get an estimate before repairs begin?
Start by contacting the shop to arrange an assessment. An initial estimate is based on what can be inspected; hidden damage or additional parts needs may change the scope after disassembly.
How long will my collision repair take?
Timing depends on the damage, parts availability, required procedures, and approvals. We discuss the expected schedule after inspection and communicate when the plan changes.
Can you repair small dents and paint scratches?
Yes. We assess minor cosmetic damage as well as larger collision repairs. The right approach depends on the panel, paint condition, and location of the damage.
Do you handle customer-pay repairs?
Yes. You can discuss a repair directly with us without an insurance claim. We review the scope and estimate with you before you authorize the work.
