Collision repair in Brooklyn
handled from claim to keys.
Exclusive Collision & Repair is a certified collision repair and auto body shop in Brooklyn. We restore your vehicle to pre-accident condition and take over your insurance claim from the first call, so you don't have to.
What collision repair actually covers
Collision repair is the process of restoring a vehicle to its pre-accident condition after impact damage. At our auto body shop in Brooklyn, every part of it happens under one roof, from bodywork and frame straightening to auto glass repair, and we inspect the whole vehicle up front, not just the obvious damage, so nothing gets missed when we build the repair scope for your insurer.
From the claim to the keys
No paperwork headaches. No runaround. Here's exactly what happens when you call.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
Get the structure right first.

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

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.
