Frequently asked questions from Port Morris drivers
How do I know if I need frame repair?
Any moderate or severe collision warrants frame measurement. Pulling, alignment issues, or uneven tire wear after a previous accident are common signs.
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.
