Local questions from Oyster Bay drivers
Can you tell if a car has been in a major accident?
Most of the time, yes. Paint mismatches, panel gap inconsistencies, weld marks, replaced frame components — all visible to a trained eye. CarFax tells you what was reported. We tell you what's actually there.
Do you bill insurance directly?
Yes. We bill your carrier directly for the approved repair amount. You pay only your deductible at delivery.
Why does the estimate change after teardown?
Visible damage hides hidden damage. Once panels come off, we usually find broken brackets, sensor mounts, or radiator support damage that wasn't visible before.
Do you do post-repair inspections?
Yes. Every vehicle goes through final QC before delivery — panel gap check, paint color verification under shop and natural light, mechanical and electrical function check.
What's the difference between OEM paint and aftermarket?
OEM paint matches the factory formula exactly. Aftermarket paint approximates it. For a single panel respray on a low-mileage vehicle, the difference can be visible in sunlight. We use OEM where it matters.
