Do you do third-party liability work?
Yes. If you're not at fault, the at-fault driver's carrier pays — sometimes including your rental, deductible reimbursement, and diminished value.
Do you offer a warranty on body shop work?
Yes — lifetime workmanship warranty against paint failure, peeling, and repair workmanship defects for as long as you own the vehicle.
Do you do hail damage claims?
Yes. We file with your carrier and submit panel-by-panel damage maps. Comprehensive coverage typically waives glass deductible.
Can my carrier total my car?
Yes — if repair cost exceeds a percentage of book value (varies by carrier, often 70–80%). We can advise whether the math favors repair or total.
Can I get an estimate by sending photos?
Yes — text or email photos of the damage for a preliminary estimate. Final estimate requires in-person inspection but photo estimate gets you a realistic ballpark.
