Paintless Dent Repair
Whether caused by the latest storm or by careless people in a parking lot, dents and scratches are never a welcome sight when it comes to your vehicle. Luckily for you, we provide paintless dent removal that doesn’t involve any sanding or painting – it merely pushes the metal back into its original form.
Paintless dent removal is available for minor dents such as those sustained in a parking lot or because of hail damage. Additionally, dents that don’t involve cracked or chipped paint or that don’t appear at the edge of a panel can also be fixed.
No, not all dents can be fixed. Some collisions and fender benders leave marks that damage paint or appear at the edge of a panel, meaning you’ll need more intensive repairs.
We Handle Insurance Claims
What happens when I get in a collision?
It’s never fun to realize that your vehicle has body damage. Whether you’ve been hit in a parking lot or traffic, the next step is to file an insurance claim to ensure you get the problem taken care of. There are multiple reasons to file a claim. First, your policy should allow for some assistance when it comes to paying for repairs. Most have to pay a deductible, but the insurance company takes care of things after that.
Do I have to take my vehicle to my insurer’s preferred shop?
Furthermore, you’re not required to take your vehicle to any specific body shop. By law, you’re allowed to choose your own shop, so make sure it’s a reputable shop that you trust.
Additionally, a reputable collision repair shop should be willing to work with any insurance company and vice versa. The insurers’ preferred body shop often meets company requirements and offers a lifetime warranty, so they aren’t paying for the same repairs twice.
So I can take my car anywhere?
Yes, take your car to the shop that you feel most comfortable with. A reputable body shop will:
- Work with any insurance company
- Understand the claims process
- Restore your vehicle to like-new condition
- Provide a warranty on workmanship, parts, and repairs
- Have experienced technicians
- Handle the claim in a timely manner
