Frequently asked questions about dent repair & pdr in Queens
How much does a bumper repair cost?
Minor scuff repair $250–$500. Plastic crack repair $400–$900. Bumper cover replacement with paint $700–$1,500. Sensor calibration adds $150–$400 if needed.
Do you do paint matching or just paint replacement?
Both. Spot blends within a panel, edge-to-edge respray, and full vehicle refinish — we match factory color codes with spectrophotometer reads, not just stock paint codes.
Do you de-energize the EV battery before repair?
Yes. Any structural repair that approaches the high-voltage system requires battery isolation per manufacturer protocol. We follow Tesla, Rivian, and Lucid procedures.
Do you do commercial vehicle body work?
Yes — TLC, delivery, fleet, and small commercial vehicles. Call for fleet rates.
