Insurance
We work with all insurance companies. Policies and coverage details vary from driver to driver, so it's worth checking your own policy or asking your adjuster what applies to your claim, then calling the shop with any questions about the repair itself.
What an estimate involves
Estimates are free and same-day. Two licensed auto body damage appraisers are on site, so the person writing up the damage is licensed to do it. Collision damage often runs deeper than the panel you can see, which is one reason a careful look at the car is worth the time.
If your car needs a rental
The shop can arrange a rental for you while your vehicle is being repaired, so a collision doesn't have to leave you without transportation. Call ahead to talk through the details for your situation.
The actual repair work
We're a full-service collision center, licensed, insured, and bonded, with a continental frame machine and MIG welder on site for special projects. The lifetime warranty applies to all refinishing work, so the paint and finish stay covered after you've driven off the lot.
Frame and structure matter as much as the cosmetic work: a car that isn't pulled back to its correct measurements can handle differently and wear unevenly even if the paint looks perfect. A continental frame machine is the kind of equipment built for that work, and the shop keeps one on site.

Why Your Repair Bill Can Look Different From Your Estimate
An estimate is a starting point, not a promise, and in New England there's one culprit behind more surprise costs than almost anything else: road salt.
