Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my final bill higher than the estimate?
Estimates are based only on visible damage. Once we take the vehicle apart, we often find more. This is normal and expected by insurance companies. The final cost is almost always higher than the initial quote.
How long will my car be in the shop?
Our average is 8.6 business days, just under two weeks. The industry standard is 12. We will keep you updated if anything changes that timeline.
Should I use insurance or pay out of pocket?
If the repair is significant, insurance is usually the smarter move. It covers rental car coordination, handles surprise costs that come up after the repair, and protects you if a sensor or safety system fails down the road. Out of pocket means all of that falls on you.
Will a deer hit or vandalism raise my rates?
Probably not. Those fall under comprehensive coverage, which typically does not affect your rates the same way a collision claim does. Check with your provider before deciding to pay out of pocket.
My warning lights are not on. Is my car fine?
Not necessarily. During repairs, parts like your front bumper cover need to be removed and repainted. This means sensors attached to those parts get disconnected. That disconnection alone can trigger fault codes in your vehicle’s safety systems, even if everything seemed fine after the accident. Clearing and recalibrating those systems can add hundreds of dollars to the final bill.
Can I switch to insurance after the repair has started?
Yes, but it gets complicated. Insurers prefer to assess the vehicle before it has been taken apart. If you think you might involve insurance, tell us before we begin.
