Frequently asked questions from Pelham Parkway drivers

Do you repair park sensors and cameras in bumpers?

Yes. Sensor and camera replacement plus calibration is part of bumper work for vehicles equipped with parking aids or 360-degree cameras.

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.
