We work with most major insurance companies and handle all the paperwork and communication with your insurer so you don't have to.

In most cases, yes. Your deductible is the portion of the repair cost you're responsible for, as specified in your insurance policy. We collect this at the time you drop your vehicle off for repair, not at pickup. If the other driver was at fault and their insurance is paying, you typically won't owe a deductible.

If another driver caused the accident, their insurance company is typically responsible for covering your repair costs. We can work directly with the at-fault driver's insurance company on your behalf, handling all the communication and paperwork.

Many insurance policies include rental car coverage. We can help you arrange a rental vehicle while your car is being repaired. Check your policy or ask your insurance agent about this coverage. If you have rental coverage, we'll coordinate with your insurer to get you set up quickly.

After your estimate is approved, we begin by carefully disassembling the damaged areas to assess the full extent of damage. We then complete structural repairs, replace damaged panels, apply primer and paint, and reassemble your vehicle. Every repair goes through a thorough quality inspection before delivery.

Paintless dent repair (PDR) is a technique that removes dents without the need for body filler or repainting. Using specialized tools, our technicians carefully massage the dent out from behind the panel, preserving your vehicle's original factory finish. PDR is ideal for hail damage, door dings, and minor dents where the paint is intact.

We use OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts whenever possible to ensure the best fit and quality. If aftermarket or recycled parts are used, we only source from reputable manufacturers that meet our quality standards. We'll always discuss parts options with you before proceeding.

Yes. We use computerized color-matching technology to create an exact match to your vehicle's factory paint color. Our state-of-the-art downdraft paint booth ensures a smooth, even finish that's indistinguishable from the original.

It depends on the severity. Small cracks under six inches can often be repaired with plastic welding and refinishing, saving you money compared to a full replacement. Larger cracks, multiple fracture points, or damage to the reinforcement bar behind the bumper cover typically require replacement. We evaluate every bumper and recommend the most cost-effective solution that does not compromise safety. Learn more about our bumper repair services.

We primarily use paintless dent repair (PDR) for hail damage, which removes dents without repainting. For more severe hail damage where the paint is cracked or the metal is stretched, we use traditional body work and refinishing. Most hail damage repairs are covered under your comprehensive insurance policy, and we handle the entire claims process. Learn more about hail damage repair.

Bumper repair costs vary depending on the type and extent of damage. Minor scratch and scuff repairs can cost significantly less than a full bumper replacement.
