Insurance questions from Port Morris drivers
Can my insurance steer me to a preferred shop?
They can suggest. They cannot require. NY §2610 protects your shop choice. We document any steering attempts you experience.
How long does paint take?
Single panel respray turns around in 2–3 days. Multi-panel or full repaint runs 5–10 working days including cure cycles.
Will my warranty be voided by repair?
Manufacturer warranties cover defects, not collision damage. Properly executed repair following manufacturer protocols preserves your warranty on unrelated components.
What is a clearcoat repaint?
Clearcoat is the protective top layer over the color coat. Repainting includes color and clearcoat applied in sequence in a controlled environment — usually 3–4 coats of color, 2–3 of clear.
Do you do exotic and supercar work?
Yes — Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren, Aston Martin. Full insurance documentation for high-value vehicle claims, OEM parts only, and supervised paint cure.
Can you tell if a car has been in a major accident?
Most of the time, yes. Paint mismatches, panel gap inconsistencies, weld marks, replaced frame components — all visible to a trained eye. CarFax tells you what was reported. We tell you what's actually there.
Do you bill insurance directly?
Yes. We bill your carrier directly for the approved repair amount. You pay only your deductible at delivery.
