Am I entitled to a rental car?\u2013<\/span>+<\/span><\/a><\/h4>\r\n <\/div>\r\n
\r\n
\r\n If you are the claimant, (you were not at fault), you are entitled to a rental car during the time your car is being repaired for up to 30 days. Insured's see your policy coverage or ask your agent. <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n

Where do I get a claim number?\u2013<\/span>+<\/span><\/a><\/h4>\r\n <\/div>\r\n
\r\n
\r\n Claim numbers are issued by your insurance company at the time you report your accident. Just jot it down and bring it in with you when you come in to begin the repair process. We will do the rest. <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n

\r\n

If my vehicle's frame is damaged is it a total loss?\u2013<\/span>+<\/span><\/a><\/h4>\r\n <\/div>\r\n
\r\n
\r\n No. A car is a total loss only when the price of repairs exceeds the insurance company's determined value of your vehicle. Today, most cars are built using unibody (frame and body as one) construction. Our highly skilled technicians, with the aid of our state-of the-art computer measuring system, can return your vehicle to its original factory specifications. If it is determined that the frame section is bent beyond repair, that section can simply be replaced. <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n
\r\n
\r\n

Can you match the paint color?\u2013<\/span>+<\/span><\/a><\/h4>\r\n <\/div>\r\n
\r\n
\r\n Yes. Today's modern factory finishes incorporate multiple layers of highly specialized paints. We have made a major investment in the finest paint system available and constantly upgrade the technology and equipment to ensure that each vehicle's paint matches. We take special pride in our ability to match factory finishes as the final step in the restoration process. <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n
\r\n
\r\n
