Frequently asked questions about collision repair in Brooklyn
Can I drop my car off after hours?
Yes — after-hours drop-off is accepted, and we have a secure drop-off key box so you can leave your keys any time. Call (718) 723-6163 to let us know it's coming.
Will my insurance rates go up after a claim?
Depends on the claim type, your policy, and your carrier. We can't predict your rate change — that's between you and your insurer. We just handle the repair.
What documents do I need to bring to file a claim?
Driver's license, registration, insurance card, the police report number if available, and photos of the scene if you have them. We handle the rest.
Will the repair affect my car's resale value?
Properly done collision repair using OEM parts and factory paint procedures preserves resale value. Cutting corners is what destroys it — which is why we don't.
How long does PDR take?
A single dent takes 1–4 hours. A few dents on one panel takes a day. Full hail damage on an entire vehicle takes 5–10 working days depending on dent count.
What is actual cash value (ACV)?
ACV is what your car was worth the moment before damage. It's the basis for total-loss settlements. We can help you negotiate ACV up if your carrier's number is low.
What payment methods do you accept?
Cash, all major credit cards, and direct insurance billing. For insurance jobs you pay only your deductible at delivery.
Can I get a rental car during repair?
If your policy includes rental coverage, your carrier arranges a rental directly. Most policies cover $30–50/day for 14–30 days.
