Insurance questions from Dongan Hills drivers
What's the difference between a chain shop and a family shop?
Chain shops have rotating crews and franchise quotas. Family shops keep the same techs for years. Same person who did your work in 2018 still works the floor today.
Can you repair the Cybertruck's stainless panels?
Yes, including panel replacement and refinishing. Cybertruck's stainless panel system has specific OEM-replacement procedures we follow.
Do you handle motorcycle body work?
Limited — fairing repair and paint, tank work, custom paint. We don't do major frame or structural motorcycle repair.
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.
