Insurance-First

The Brooklyn body shop built around your claim

Getting into an accident is stressful enough. The calls, the paperwork, the back-and-forth with your insurance company. Most drivers don’t know where to start, and plenty of shops won’t help them figure it out. We do things differently. We’re an insurance-first shop, which means we built our whole process around the claim, not around luxury cars or cash jobs or a one-size-fits-all price list.

That matters because we work for everyday New York drivers who need honest answers, fast turnaround, and a shop they can trust. We talk to your adjuster, document every bit of damage, and make sure the approved scope of collision repair reflects what your car actually needs. Over 10 years and 20,000-plus vehicles in, we know what adjusters look for and how to get your car restored to the standard your policy covers. Our auto body repair before and after gallery shows four of those repairs with the photos side by side.

After a Crash

What to do right after a car accident

Stressful moment, simple steps. Here’s the order that protects you and your claim.

  1. 1Make sure everyone is safe and move to a secure spot if you can. Call 911 if anyone’s hurt.
  2. 2Photograph the scene, your vehicle, the other car, and any visible damage, from a few angles.
  3. 3Exchange insurance info with the other driver, then report the accident to your carrier.
  4. 4Before you sign anything or agree to your insurer’s suggested shop, call a body shop you trust.
  5. 5In New York the choice of shop is yours. Call (929) 267-9940 and we’ll walk you through it.

Your Rights

Can I choose my own shop after an accident?

Yes. New York State law gives you the right to choose your own auto body repair shop, regardless of what your insurance company recommends. Your insurer can suggest a preferred shop, but you’re not required to use it. Choosing your own means choosing a facility you trust to do the body repair right, not just one that’s convenient for your carrier.

Working With Insurance

What does it mean when a shop works with insurance?

It can mean a lot of things. At Exclusive it means we take on the administrative side so you don’t have to. We communicate with your adjuster, document all the damage, and make sure the approved scope reflects what your car needs. We bring over a decade of experience handling claims in Brooklyn. Start with the Direction to Pay form.

Plenty of the work that comes through the bay never involves a claim at all. If the damage is cosmetic, dent repair in Brooklyn, NY handles the door dings, creases, and bumper scuffs on their own, and paint correction in Brooklyn brings back a finish that has gone dull with swirls without repainting the panel.

Your car, your shop.
That’s your right in New York.

I'm not the type of person to sit down and write a review, but after seeing they're work, and how squeaky clean my vehicle was left, I was speechless and nothing but grateful to have found a trusting auto collision who I now consider family because that's how they make you feel throughout the process. Not to mention if you belong to the community they will take care of you.”

Common Questions

Auto body repair in Brooklyn, NY: FAQs

The questions drivers ask us most about body repair and insurance.

What does auto body repair include?
Auto body repair covers everything to the body and structure of your car short of the engine: dents, scratches, bumper damage, panel replacement, rust repair, frame straightening, and paint refinishing. At our Brooklyn shop it all happens under one roof, from a small door ding to full collision damage.
Can I choose my own auto body shop after an accident in New York?
Yes. New York State law gives you the right to choose your own auto body repair shop, no matter what your insurance company recommends. Your insurer may suggest a preferred shop, but you’re never required to use it. You bring the car to us, and we handle the rest.
Do you work with my insurance company?
We do, with all major insurers. We take on the administrative side of the claim: documenting the damage, talking to your adjuster, and making sure the approved repair scope reflects what your car actually needs, not just the insurer’s first offer. You can name us your designated representative on the claim.
How much does auto body repair cost in Brooklyn?
It depends on the damage. A small dent or scratch is a minor job; a crushed panel or rust repair runs higher. You get a free written estimate before any work starts, and when the repair is part of a covered claim, your out-of-pocket is usually just your deductible.
Will using your shop raise my insurance premium?
No. Where you get your car repaired has no effect on your premium. Rates are based on the claim itself, not the body shop you choose.
How long does auto body repair take?
Small cosmetic work like a dent or scratch can be a day or two. Heavier body repair, panel replacement, or anything that needs parts ordered and a full repaint takes longer. You get a realistic timeline with your estimate and updates as the work moves.
Can you fix dents and scratches without repainting the whole car?
Usually, yes. We repair the damaged area and blend the new paint into the surrounding panels so the color matches and you can’t see where the work stops. There’s no need to repaint the whole vehicle for a localized dent or scratch.
Do you repair rust on car bodies?
Yes. We cut out the corroded metal, rebuild the area with new material, and seal it with corrosion protection so the rust doesn’t come back. Patching over rust without removing it just hides the problem, so we deal with it properly.
What should I do immediately after a car accident?
Get safe first, then document the scene with photos, exchange insurance information, and report the accident to your carrier. Before you commit to a repair shop your insurer suggests, remember the choice is yours in New York. Call us and we’ll guide you through the next steps.
Do you only repair cars after accidents?
No. We handle accident damage and everyday wear alike, door dings, parking-lot scratches, faded or peeling paint, rust, and bumper scuffs. You don’t need to have been in a collision to bring your car in for body repair.
Where is your auto body shop located?
We’re at 28 Marginal St W, Brooklyn, NY 11207, in Cypress Hills, one block from the Jackie Robinson Parkway. We serve drivers across Brooklyn and the surrounding boroughs, plus Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island.
