Process questions from Port Washington customers
Do you handle motorcycle body work?
Limited — fairing repair and paint, tank work, custom paint. We don't do major frame or structural motorcycle repair.
Are you certified for any specific manufacturer programs?
We follow OEM repair procedures across all makes and sublet manufacturer-certification work (like Tesla high-voltage) when warranty lock requires it.
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.
