Insurance questions from Jericho drivers
Do you do post-repair inspections?
Yes. Every vehicle goes through final QC before delivery — panel gap check, paint color verification under shop and natural light, mechanical and electrical function check.
What's the difference between OEM paint and aftermarket?
OEM paint matches the factory formula exactly. Aftermarket paint approximates it. For a single panel respray on a low-mileage vehicle, the difference can be visible in sunlight. We use OEM where it matters.
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.
