OUR STORY

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to what people ask us most
In most cases, no. Most customers pay $0 out of pocket — your insurance covers the full repair. You open the claim (via app or phone call), and after that we handle everything: adjuster coordination, documentation, and follow-ups. During your free inspection, we'll tell you exactly what to expect before anything starts.
Almost — you just need to open the claim with your insurance company (via their app or a quick phone call, takes about 5 minutes). After that, we take over completely: scheduling the adjuster, submitting all documentation, and managing the back-and-forth. You won't need to call your insurer again.
Most repairs are completed within 7 working days or less. The exact timeline depends on the extent of the damage. We'll give you a clear estimate upfront — and while your car is in the shop, we provide a free rental car so your routine isn't interrupted.
PDR is a technique where certified technicians use specialized tools to massage dents out from behind the panel — without any filler, painting, or bodywork. Your original factory paint stays completely intact. This means faster repairs, no color-matching issues, and no reduction in your car's resale value.
