Process questions from Times Square customers
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.
What's the difference between repair and replace for a bumper?
Plastic bumper cracks and scratches usually repair. Shattered bumpers or those with broken mounting tabs need replacement. We give you both estimates so you can decide.
Can a bent frame be straightened?
Most yes. Severe bends or torn structural members may require partial replacement. Computerized measurement tells us exactly what the geometry needs and we pull to OEM tolerances.
Do I have to use the body shop my insurance recommends?
No. Under New York Insurance Law §2610, you have the right to choose any licensed body shop. Your insurer cannot require you to use a specific shop.
