05 — FAQ
What people ask before bringing a car in.
If yours isn't here, call us — we'd rather answer it over the phone.
See all FAQs-
01 Do I have to use the body shop my insurance recommends?
No. You always have the right to choose your own repair facility. We work directly with State Farm as a Direct Repair Program (DRP) partner and with every other major insurer. -
02 How long does a free estimate take?
Most estimates take 15–20 minutes. Walk in during business hours or schedule online. We'll write the estimate while you wait, and email a copy for your records. -
03 Can you handle the insurance claim for me?
Yes. We talk to your adjuster directly, document the damage with photos and pre-repair scans, and supplement the estimate if hidden damage is found during teardown. You get one point of contact: us. -
04 Do you offer a warranty?
Every repair is backed by a lifetime workmanship warranty, honored at any I-CAR certified shop nationwide. -
05 How long will my car be in the shop?
It depends on the severity of the damage and parts availability. We give you a realistic timeline at the estimate and update you at every milestone — most jobs come back when we said they would, often sooner. -
06 What happens if you find more damage once you start the repair?
It's very common — insurance estimates can only include what's visible in photos. Once we take the damaged area apart, we document any hidden damage with photos and submit a supplement to your insurer for approval. We keep you in the loop throughout.
