Cost and timeline questions from Hicksville customers
Is unibody the same as frame?
Functionally similar but technically different. Unibody construction integrates the frame into the body shell. Repair procedures are different — we run computerized measurement and OEM-spec pull procedures for both.
Do you handle vandalism repair?
Yes — keyed panels, broken mirrors, scratch damage. Comprehensive insurance typically covers vandalism. We bill direct.
Will filing a claim cancel my policy?
Single claims rarely lead to cancellation. Multiple at-fault claims in a short window can. Comprehensive claims (vandalism, hail) are lower-risk than at-fault collision.
Do you use OEM or aftermarket parts?
We push for OEM on safety-critical components and when warranty preservation matters. Aftermarket can be appropriate for cosmetic work. We always tell you which is being used.
Can PDR fix a sharp crease?
Yes, in most cases. Sharp creases need more time than rounded dents but PDR can usually restore them without paint. Paint-broken creases need traditional repair.
