Insurance questions from Hicksville drivers
Do I have to accept the first total-loss offer?
No. Carriers' first offers are often low. You can document recent comparable sales to negotiate up. We've helped customers add 15–25% to a low first offer.
Do you tow vehicles to your shop?
Yes — we coordinate towing if your vehicle isn't drivable. Towing is usually billed through your insurance roadside coverage or as part of the claim.
What is a deductible?
Your deductible is the amount you pay out-of-pocket on a claim before insurance pays. Typical deductibles run $250–$1,500.
How much does paintless dent repair cost?
Single door ding $75–$200. Larger dents $200–$500. Multiple dents $300–$800. Full-vehicle hail damage is typically covered by comprehensive insurance.
What does the disassembly process look like?
Damaged panels come off, photos are taken at every stage, hidden damage is documented for the supplement, and a final repair plan is built before parts are ordered. Customers see photos throughout.
Will my Tesla warranty be affected by collision repair?
Tesla warranties cover defects, not collision damage. Properly executed repair following manufacturer protocols preserves your warranty on unrelated components.
Do you work on luxury European cars?
Yes — BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Porsche, Range Rover, Volvo. Aluminum welding, factory paint match, OEM parts where required.
