FAQ
How long will my car be in the shop?
Longer than the labor hours suggest. Paint needs time to cure between stages, and one back-ordered clip can park the car for days. Ask for a promised date and ask what happens if a part is late. Shops that update you without being chased are the ones worth booking twice.
Should I claim on insurance or pay for it myself?
Weigh the repair against your deductible and what a claim does to your renewal. For a scuff and a dent, paying cash is often cheaper and keeps the claim off your record. Heavier damage goes the other way. Ask the shop for both figures; most quote a cash rate and an insurance rate.
What should I look at when I collect the car?
Look at the car outdoors, in daylight, from a few steps back and then along the panel at an angle. Check the color from both, then the panel gaps and how the doors shut. Run a hand along the edge of the repair. Sanding dust inside the car and overspray on trim are worth raising before you sign.
Are any of these shops long established?
[N_YEARS10] of the 24 shops claim ten or more years of trading. Longevity counts in body work, because paint systems and bonded panels have changed and a shop that stayed open had to keep retraining. It is a claim from their own website, not a rating.
