I've heard it can take weeks, sometimes a month or more to repair body damage to a vehicle. Is this true?
When will my car be ready?
During
your initial consultation, a Dave Gill estimator will provide you with
an estimate of when we expect to have the vehicle ready for you. If
you've reviewed our repair process, you can see that restoring a vehicle
to like-new condition is complicated. So, while it may take some time
to complete, what's more important in the end is that your vehicle is as
close its original state as possible.
Will my car ever be the same?
Your car will drive the same, feel the same and look the same as it did prior to the incident that caused the damage.
Why do estimate prices vary between repair facilities?
There
are a couple of possible reasons for this: First, not all body shops
use factory-certified parts. Second, our body shop has been certified to
work on your vehicle because of the factory tools, equipment and
training we provide our technicians. While this involves additional
expense, it is something we would never consider operating without. Be
sure to speak with your estimator regarding any questions you may have
about the estimation process or your repair quotation.

Are you able to coordinate all aspects of vehicle repair with my insurance company?
Yes.
However, please understand that we may require your assistance in
encouraging your insurance company to work with us in a timely manner
and for being responsible for the final payment. As with any business,
it is important that we collect the appropriate fees for our services.
While we normally do not require payment up front, payment from you or
your insurance company is due upon pickup of your repaired vehicle.
