How It Works

From the claim to the keys

No paperwork headaches. No runaround. Here's exactly what happens when you call.

1

Call us or send photos

Tell us what happened. Snap a few photos of the damage or stop by. We'll tell you what to expect, fast and straight, and arrange a tow if your car isn't drivable.

2

We handle your claim

We document the full damage, build the repair scope, and work directly with your insurance company. As your designated representative, we push for a settlement that covers what the car actually needs.

3

Certified repairs begin

Our I-CAR certified technicians repair the car with OEM parts and manufacturer procedures, structure first, then panels, then a factory-grade paint match.

4

Pick up your car

After a full quality inspection, you collect a car restored to pre-accident condition. We kept the stress; you keep the keys.

Your Insurance Claim

We handle the claim. You just drop off the car.

A lot of drivers don't know this: New York State law gives you the right to choose your own auto body shop, and to name that shop your representative with the insurer. Whoever you're insured with, you can bring your vehicle to Exclusive.

The runaround

The insurance side is a full-time job

Adjusters, timelines, preferred-shop pressure, and an approved amount that rarely covers everything the car needs. Most drivers don't know the process well enough to push back.

Skip it or get it wrong, and you're left paying the gap, or driving a car that was never fully fixed.

How we handle it

We take it over from day one

We photograph and document the full damage, build the repair scope, and talk to your adjuster directly. If the approved amount doesn't reflect what the vehicle needs, we push back.

We work with all major insurance companies. The goal is a repair done right, not one that's just approved. Start with the Direction to Pay form.

Structural Damage

What happens to your car's frame in a collision?

Most vehicles built in the last two decades use a unibody structure, where the frame and body are one integrated unit. When that unit absorbs a hard hit, the damage doesn't always show up where you can see it. A car can look fine on the outside and have a frame shifted just enough out of spec to change how it handles and how safely it absorbs the next impact.

Frame straightening addresses it. We use a Car-O-Liner frame machine to measure and restore factory specifications before any body work starts. Our certified technicians hold I-CAR certification and OEM approvals from BMW, Honda, Toyota, Kia, and Hyundai, so the structure is repaired the way the manufacturer intends.

Signs you may need frame work

  • The car pulls or tracks crooked after the crash
  • Doors or the trunk no longer close the way they used to
  • Uneven gaps between body panels
  • Steering or the ride feels different than before
  • Visible kinks or buckling in the frame rails

Total Loss vs Repair

Is it worth fixing your car after an accident in Brooklyn?

Almost always yes, unless your insurer calls it a total loss. That happens when the repair cost passes a set percentage of the vehicle's actual cash value. If the damage lands below that number, the car is repairable and your policy covers it down to your deductible. Most collision claims fall in that category.

Skipping proper repairs, or using a body shop that cuts corners on parts and process, follows the car. Unrepaired structural damage makes the vehicle less safe in a future crash. Mismatched paint and body panels show up on a vehicle history report and chip away at resale value. Proper collision repair and auto body repair by certified technicians using OEM parts is what keeps the car worth owning.

Common Questions

Collision repair in Brooklyn, NY: FAQs

The questions drivers ask us most. Still unsure? Just call, we'll talk it through.

How much does collision repair cost in Brooklyn?
It depends on the damage. A bumper replacement or minor panel repair can run a few hundred dollars; structural work or a full repaint can reach several thousand. If the damage falls under your collision or comprehensive coverage, your out-of-pocket cost is usually just the deductible. You get a free written estimate before anything starts, so you know exactly what you’re looking at.
How long does collision repair take?
Minor collision repairs typically take three to five business days. Structural work, a full auto body paint job, or anything that needs OEM parts ordered can run one to two weeks. We give you a realistic timeline after the inspection and keep you updated as the repair moves.
Do I have to use the shop my insurance company recommends?
No. New York State law gives you the right to choose your own repair facility. Your insurer might steer you toward a preferred shop, but that isn’t a requirement. Bring your vehicle to Exclusive no matter who you’re insured with, and we handle all the communication with your carrier.
What does the collision repair process look like start to finish?
It starts with a free damage assessment and a written estimate. From there we document the damage, coordinate with your insurance company, complete the approved repairs with OEM parts, run a full quality inspection, and return your car in pre-accident condition. You stay in the loop at every stage.
Does collision repair include paint matching?
Yes, paint matching is part of every job. We use a PPG paint system with a SATA spray gun inside a heated downdraft spray booth for a factory-grade finish that matches your original color. If you can’t tell where the repair was, that’s the point.
What is frame straightening and when is it needed?
Frame straightening is a structural repair for when a collision has shifted or compressed the car’s unibody or frame. You need it when the car pulls to one side after a crash, doors won’t close right, or the suspension feels off. We use a Car-O-Liner frame machine to bring everything back to factory spec before any other repairs begin.
How do I know if my car is safe to drive after an accident?
If there’s visible structural damage, the airbags deployed, or the car handles differently than before, don’t drive it until it’s been inspected. Frame alignment, suspension, and safety systems can all be affected in ways you can’t see. Call (929) 267-9940 or arrange towing and we’ll assess it.
Can dents and scratches be repaired through my insurance claim?
Yes, when that damage is part of your approved claim. We document everything at intake, including dents and scratches in the affected area, so nothing gets left off the repair scope when it goes to your insurer.
Will collision repairs affect my car’s resale value?
Not when they’re done properly. Repairs completed by certified technicians using OEM parts and manufacturer procedures should have no negative effect on resale. What hurts value is unrepaired damage and low-quality work that shows up visually or on a vehicle history report. We restore vehicles to pre-accident condition so neither becomes your problem.
What certifications does Exclusive Collision hold?
We hold I-CAR certification and OEM certifications from BMW, Honda, Toyota, Kia, and Hyundai. I-CAR requires ongoing technician training in structural and non-structural repair. OEM certification means each manufacturer authorizes us to repair their vehicles with approved parts, tools, and procedures.
How do I get a free estimate for collision repair in Brooklyn?
Call or text (929) 267-9940, fill out the form on this page, or email info@exclusivebodyshop.com. We respond within one business hour. No pressure, no obligation, just a straight answer about what your car needs.
