What does frame & unibody repair cost for Queens drivers?
Frame repair pricing depends on the severity of the damage and the amount of pulling required. Frame work is almost always part of a larger collision repair, not a standalone job. Queens drivers see the same itemized estimate format every other shop submits to your carrier — parts, paint, labor hours, and consumables broken out line by line, no vague "shop time" markup hiding the real numbers. Distance from Queens varies by neighborhood; the 54 Queens neighborhoods we serve range from 0.5 to 11.0 miles from 136-31 Springfield Blvd.

Frequently asked questions about frame & unibody repair in Queens
Should I repair before selling or sell as-is?
Depends on the damage and the vehicle value. Cosmetic repair almost always pays back at sale. Major structural repair on an old car often doesn't. We can give honest advice.
What if my carrier denies a supplement?
We re-document with photographs and OEM repair procedures, file a re-inspection request, and escalate if needed. Most denied supplements get approved on second submission.
Do you charge for an estimate?
No. Walk-in or send photos for a free written estimate with no obligation.
Will paintless dent repair work on my car?
Most likely yes if the paint isn't broken and the dent isn't on a sharp body line. We give honest assessment before starting.
What's the difference between repair and replace for a bumper?
Plastic bumper cracks and scratches usually repair. Shattered bumpers or those with broken mounting tabs need replacement. We give you both estimates so you can decide.
Can a bent frame be straightened?
Most yes. Severe bends or torn structural members may require partial replacement. Computerized measurement tells us exactly what the geometry needs and we pull to OEM tolerances.
Do I have to use the body shop my insurance recommends?
No. Under New York Insurance Law §2610, you have the right to choose any licensed body shop. Your insurer cannot require you to use a specific shop.
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.
