Frequently asked questions from Manhattan Beach drivers
What is actual cash value (ACV)?
ACV is what your car was worth the moment before damage. It's the basis for total-loss settlements. We can help you negotiate ACV up if your carrier's number is low.
What payment methods do you accept?
Cash, all major credit cards, and direct insurance billing. For insurance jobs you pay only your deductible at delivery.
Can I get a rental car during repair?
If your policy includes rental coverage, your carrier arranges a rental directly. Most policies cover $30–50/day for 14–30 days.
How long does collision repair take?
Small bumper jobs turn around in 2–3 days. Mid-sized repairs run 1–2 weeks. Major structural repairs run 2–4 weeks depending on parts availability.
How do you handle ADAS recalibration?
Modern vehicles need camera, radar, and lidar recalibration after windshield, bumper, or panel work that moves a sensor. We perform manufacturer-spec calibration in-house or sublet to a Tesla/Mercedes-certified facility for OEM lock.
