Local questions from DUMBO drivers
Are you certified for any specific manufacturer programs?
We follow OEM repair procedures across all makes and sublet manufacturer-certification work (like Tesla high-voltage) when warranty lock requires it.
Can my insurance steer me to a preferred shop?
They can suggest. They cannot require. NY §2610 protects your shop choice. We document any steering attempts you experience.
How long does paint take?
Single panel respray turns around in 2–3 days. Multi-panel or full repaint runs 5–10 working days including cure cycles.
Will my warranty be voided by repair?
Manufacturer warranties cover defects, not collision damage. Properly executed repair following manufacturer protocols preserves your warranty on unrelated components.
What is a clearcoat repaint?
Clearcoat is the protective top layer over the color coat. Repainting includes color and clearcoat applied in sequence in a controlled environment — usually 3–4 coats of color, 2–3 of clear.
