Question 1

Do you work with insurance claims?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we work with all major insurance carriers. Bring us your claim number and we'll coordinate the estimate, supplements, and approvals directly with your adjuster so you don't have to play middleman.

Question 2

Can I choose my own body shop in Florida?

Accepted Answer

You can. Florida law gives you the right to choose your own repair shop — your insurance company can recommend one, but they can't require you to use one of theirs. Most of our insurance work comes from drivers who picked us first and asked their carrier to send the estimate here.

Question 3

Do you offer free estimates?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Bring the vehicle by during shop hours, or use the self check-in to drop it off and we'll write up an estimate and call you back. There's no charge to take a look.

Question 4

Do you restore classic vehicles?

Accepted Answer

We do. Classic car restoration is one of the things this shop is best known for in Gainesville — full and partial restorations, rust repair, period-correct color work, and careful reassembly. Tell us what you've got and what you want it to be.

Question 5

Do you color match paint?

Accepted Answer

Always. We use computerized color matching for an exact OEM match, then test-spray and verify in our climate-controlled booth before laying the panel. Single-panel, blended, or full repaints — all done with the same finish standards.

Question 6

Do you work on trucks and SUVs?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Daily-driver collision repair, paint, and body work on trucks, SUVs, vans, and crossovers — domestic and import alike.

Question 7

How long do repairs usually take?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the work and parts availability. A small panel repair and respray can be a few days; collision repairs through insurance typically run one to three weeks; restorations are scoped per project. We give you a written timeline up front and keep you posted along the way.

Question 8

What should I bring for an estimate?

Accepted Answer

The vehicle, your driver's license, and — if it's an insurance job — your claim number and the contact info for your adjuster. Photos of the damage are helpful too if you have them on your phone.
