Insurance questions from Huguenot drivers
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.
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.
