Process questions from East New York customers
Do you do ADAS calibration on Teslas?
Yes. Camera and sensor recalibration is required after windshield, bumper, or quarter-panel work on Tesla vehicles. We follow OEM procedures or sublet to a Tesla-certified calibration shop for warranty lock.
Do you do classic car restoration?
Yes — body and paint restoration on classics, including metal fabrication for rust-out areas. We don't do mechanical or interior restoration.
Do you do pre-purchase inspections?
Yes — body and paint inspection, frame check, and prior-repair detection. We can flag previously-repaired panels, hidden frame damage, and quality of past work.
What is a diminished value claim?
Diminished value is the loss in your car's resale value because of repair history, even after a perfect repair. It can be claimed against the at-fault party's insurance in NY.
How long does frame work take?
Frame measurement and minor pull is a same-day procedure. Major structural repair with panel work runs 1–3 weeks.
What happens if I see a problem after delivery?
Bring it back. Workmanship issues are covered under the lifetime warranty — we re-do anything that doesn't hold up.
Can you paint a single panel without color drift?
Yes — spectrophotometer color matching plus blending the paint into adjacent panels prevents visible color line. The blend area extends just past the panel edge so any color variance fades into the existing paint.
