Process questions from Cambria Heights customers
Do you offer a warranty on body shop work?
Yes — lifetime workmanship warranty against paint failure, peeling, and repair workmanship defects for as long as you own the vehicle.
Do you do hail damage claims?
Yes. We file with your carrier and submit panel-by-panel damage maps. Comprehensive coverage typically waives glass deductible.
Can my carrier total my car?
Yes — if repair cost exceeds a percentage of book value (varies by carrier, often 70–80%). We can advise whether the math favors repair or total.
Can I get an estimate by sending photos?
Yes — text or email photos of the damage for a preliminary estimate. Final estimate requires in-person inspection but photo estimate gets you a realistic ballpark.
What if my insurance estimate is too low?
Initial estimates often miss hidden damage. We document teardown with photos and submit a supplement to your adjuster — typically approved within days.
How much does collision repair cost?
Minor jobs $800–$2,500. Mid-sized $2,500–$8,000. Major structural $8,000–$25,000+. We give a written, itemized estimate before any work begins.
Can you match my car's paint color?
Yes — we use spectrophotometer color matching from your actual paint, not just the paint code. Single panel blends or full repaints.
