What does frame & unibody repair cost for Staten Island 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. Staten Island 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 Staten Island varies by neighborhood; the 34 Staten Island neighborhoods we serve range from 21.0 to 30.0 miles from 136-31 Springfield Blvd.

Frequently asked questions about frame & unibody repair in Staten Island
Do you repair Tesla and EV vehicles?
Yes — Tesla, Rivian, Polestar, Lucid, and other EV bodywork — including aluminum panel repair, high-voltage system de-energization, ADAS recalibration, and structural work on Tesla's bonded-aluminum chassis.
Can I keep my totaled car?
Yes — you can buy back the salvage from the carrier. The settlement is reduced by the salvage value. Sometimes makes sense for older vehicles or specialty cars.
Do you offer pickup and delivery?
Yes — free pickup and delivery, plus a free shuttle to the train or your home. Call (718) 723-6163 to set it up.
What insurance carriers do you work with?
Every major NY carrier — GEICO, Allstate, State Farm, Progressive, Liberty Mutual, USAA, Nationwide, Travelers, Farmers, MetLife, Esurance, AAA, plus local and specialty carriers.
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.
