Insurance & Claims
It depends on your policy. Some policies approve OEM parts as standard; others default to aftermarket. We advise on part grade before any work begins and ensure you’re aware of what’s been approved — part grade matters, particularly on luxury and safety-critical components.
No. Florida law gives you the right to choose your own repair facility. Your insurer can recommend a shop, but cannot require you to use one. Choosing your own shop ensures the repair is done to the standard you expect — not the standard your insurer prefers.
Yes. Hit-and-run claims fall under your uninsured motorist coverage and require specific documentation to process correctly. We handle the full claims process on your behalf — damage assessment, documentation, adjuster communication, and scope approval.
Yes. We work directly with all major insurance providers and manage the complete claims process — damage documentation, adjuster communication, and scope approval — on your behalf. Florida law gives you the right to choose your own repair shop; your insurer cannot require you to use a specific facility.
Collision Repair Process
Yes. We source OEM or OEM-equivalent parts for every repair and advise on part grade before work begins. If your insurer approves aftermarket parts, we make sure you’re aware before any work starts — part grade matters, particularly on luxury and safety-critical components.
Yes. Every collision repair is followed by a post-repair diagnostic scan to confirm all vehicle systems are reading correctly before the vehicle is returned. This step catches any error codes or system issues that may have been triggered during the repair process.
Every repair starts with a structural measurement and diagnostic scan — not just a visual inspection. Modern vehicles can sustain internal structural displacement without visible surface damage. We use manufacturer measuring data and calibrated equipment to identify the full scope of damage before repair planning begins.
Minor paint and dent repairs typically take 3–5 business days. Moderate structural repairs take 7–14 days. More significant damage or repairs requiring OEM parts with longer lead times can take 2–4 weeks. We provide a timeline estimate before work begins and communicate proactively throughout.
Luxury & European Vehicle
Yes. Aluminum body repair requires dedicated tooling, compatible adhesive systems, and completely separated work areas from steel repair — steel contamination on aluminum causes galvanic corrosion that develops silently and cannot be corrected after the fact. Carbon fiber components require individual assessment for delamination and fiber fracture before any repair approach is determined.
No. Manufacturer warranties do not require collision repairs to be performed at an authorized facility. You have the right to choose any qualified repair shop. What matters is that the shop understands your vehicle’s construction, uses OEM procedures, and performs post-repair diagnostics and ADAS recalibration where required.
Yes. We regularly repair Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi, Porsche, Lexus, Tesla, Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Maserati, Acura, Jaguar, Land Rover, Volvo, Genesis, and all domestic and import makes. Luxury vehicles present specific repair challenges — aluminum and mixed-material body structures, carbon fiber components, Bespoke and Paint to Sample finishes, and advanced driver assistance systems that require post-repair recalibration.
Paint & Color Matching
Yes. Every paint repair is applied in our climate-controlled spray booth and blended into adjacent panels. We use spectrophotometer analysis to capture the correct formula for your vehicle’s current paint condition — not just the factory code — ensuring a seamless result across the repaired area.
Yes. Matte and satin finishes require dedicated reduced-gloss clear coat applied at an exact sheen level — standard clear coat produces a visible difference immediately, and conventional polishing makes it worse. We apply the correct products and technique for every low-gloss finish.
We use spectrophotometer color matching to capture the correct formula for your vehicle’s specific paint code and current condition — accounting for UV aging and production variation between build dates. This applies to all finishes including Bespoke, Designo, Individual, Paint to Sample, Mulliner, and low-gloss matte finishes.
ADAS & Technology FAQs
Yes. Electric vehicles — including Tesla, Porsche Taycan, BMW i-series, Mercedes EQS, and Audi e-tron — require specific high-voltage safety protocols before any structural work near the battery system begins. We follow established EV safety procedures on every electric vehicle repair.
Systems that commonly require recalibration include forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, blind spot monitoring, and 360-degree camera systems. The specific systems affected depend on which components were disturbed during the repair.
Yes. Any repair that disturbs camera or radar sensor positions — windshield replacement, front or rear bumper repair, mirror replacement — requires post-repair recalibration before driver assistance systems function correctly. We perform recalibration as a standard step, not an add-on.
