Vehicle and repair questions from Bensonhurst customers
Do you handle vandalism repair?
Yes — keyed panels, broken mirrors, scratch damage. Comprehensive insurance typically covers vandalism. We bill direct.
Will filing a claim cancel my policy?
Single claims rarely lead to cancellation. Multiple at-fault claims in a short window can. Comprehensive claims (vandalism, hail) are lower-risk than at-fault collision.
Do you use OEM or aftermarket parts?
We push for OEM on safety-critical components and when warranty preservation matters. Aftermarket can be appropriate for cosmetic work. We always tell you which is being used.
Can PDR fix a sharp crease?
Yes, in most cases. Sharp creases need more time than rounded dents but PDR can usually restore them without paint. Paint-broken creases need traditional repair.
Do you repair park sensors and cameras in bumpers?
Yes. Sensor and camera replacement plus calibration is part of bumper work for vehicles equipped with parking aids or 360-degree cameras.
