What are your hours of operation?
- Mon - Fri 7:30 am to 5:30 pm
- Saturday by appointment only
Will the parts be ordered before I drop off my car for repair?
- Absolutely. We generally order your vehicle's parts at the time that we write the
estimate and schedule your vehicle for drop off a couple of days later unless your
vehicle is found unsafe to drive, then we would help you arrange for a rental vehicle as
soon as possible. This enables us to provide quicker turnaround time
If my vehicle's frame is damaged, is it a total loss?
- No. A car is a total loss only when the price of repairs exceeds the insurance
company's determined value of your vehicle. Nowadays, most cars are built using
unibody (frame and body as one) construction. Our highly skilled technicians, with the
aid of our state of the art computer measuring system , can return your vehicle to its
original factory specifications. If it is determined that the frame section is bent beyond
repair, that section can simply be replaced.
Can you match the paint color?
- Today's modern factory finishes incorporate multiple layers of highly specialized
paints. We have made a major investment in the finest paint system available and
constantly upgrades its technology and equipment to ensure that each vehicle's paint
matches. We take special pride in our ability to match factory finishes as the final step
in the restoration process.
Can I get other service work done on my vehicle while it it in the body shop?
- Yes. Just let your advisor know what other work you would like done so that he or she
can make the necessary arrangements.
How long will the repairs take?
- Your advisor can give you an estimate of the time it will take to complete the repairs to
your vehicle. Be sure to check with your advisor for the specifics on your vehicle
Can I get a ride home when I drop off my car?
- Yes, we would be happy to provide this service to you. We want each customer's visit
to be a positive experience and will work diligently towards that goal. We provide a
pickup and delivery service.
How can I get a rental car?
- If you need a rental car, we can help you make the necessary arrangements. Insurance
companies will only pay for a rental car if you have that option on your policy or if you
are the claimant. Check your policy and/or call your insurance company to find out if
you have rental coverage and what your specific limitations are.
How will I know when my car is done?
- You will be notified when your vehicle is ready to be picked up. You can also check
this website. You will see a message next to the last picture of your vehicle telling you
that your vehicle is ready to be picked up. Feel free to call or email your advisor during
the repair process if you have questions or concerns.
Is there a warranty on the repairs to my vehicle?
- Yes. We guarantee all repairs with a Lifetime Warranty.
Do I have to pay a deductible?
- The amount of deductible that you will be responsible for is determined by your
insurance policy. If you carry broad collision, and you were not at fault, your
insurance company most likely will waive your deductible. Insurance companies
determine fault by your account of the accident when you make the claim, and by
reviewing the accident report filed with the police department. If you aren't sure about
your deductible, you can call your agent and he can tell you whether your insurance
company has waived your deductible or whether you will be responsible to pay this
when you pick up your vehicle.
Can you save me my deductible?
- No...and neither can any other honest facility. Your Insurance policy is a contract
between you and your Insurance carrier. It specifically outlines what is covered by
insurance and what is going to be your financial responsibility. Falsely manipulating
an insurance claim to advance one party's interest is unethical and in many cases it is
illegal. There may be legitimate ways to reduce your cost,such as appearance
allowances or "cashing out" and declining some portion of the repair. We suggest that
you consult your insurance company for details. Be wary of a repair shop that offers
to "cover your deductible" as this is illegal!
Who do I pay a deductible to?
- If your deductible is not waived, it will be your responsibility to pay us when you pick
up your vehicle. If you aren't sure about your deductible, you can call your agent and
he can tell you whether your insurance company has waived your deductible or
whether it will be your responsibility
What forms of payment do you accept?
- The easiest and most convenient way to pay for your portion of the repairs to your
vehicle is with a major credit card. We accept Visa, Master Card. Of course, cash and
checks are always welcome.
What are Betterment Charges?
- Parts that wear out and need replacement with time and use (i.e., tires, batteries, and
suspension parts) are commonly subject to betterment charges when they are
replaced during the repair process. These betterment charges are determined by your
insurance company and are prorated based on actual miles on your vehicle.
Can I wash My car?
- DO · Wash the vehicle by hand with cool water and a very mild car wash solution using
a soft cloth or sponge. · Always use clean fresh water. · Wash your vehicle in the
shade
- DON'T · Do not use a commercial car wash. Stiff brushes or sponges could mar the
finish and damage the surface. · Do not "dry wipe" your vehicle. Dry wiping can
scratch the finish. · Do not drive on gravel roads. Chipping the finish is easily done in
the first 30 days. · Avoid parking under trees and utility lines which are likely to attract
birds. Bird droppings have a high acid content and will damage a freshly painted
surface. Also, tree sap can mar or spot a freshly painted surface. · Do not spill
gasoline, oil, antifreeze, transmission fluid, or windshield solvent on the new finish. ·
Do not scrape ice or snow from the newly painted surface.
- DON'T · Do not wax or polish the vehicle. This will allow the finish to dry and harden
completely. After painting and applying clear coat, your vehicle is baked to give the
paint durability and a high gloss that will last for the life of your vehicle. Your vehicle's
paint is then inspected and buffed to meet our quality standard.
