Vehicle and repair questions from Bensonhurst customers
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.
Why does the estimate change after teardown?
Visible damage hides hidden damage. Once panels come off, we usually find broken brackets, sensor mounts, or radiator support damage that wasn't visible before.
