How do I schedule an estimate or repair?

Do you work with insurance companies?
Yes! Metro Auto Body works with all major insurance carriers and assists customers with the insurance claims process from start to finish. We help file paperwork, coordinate inspections, and communicate with adjusters on your behalf.
Do I have to use the shop my insurance company recommends?
No. You have the right to choose your preferred repair facility. Your insurance company may recommend a shop, but you are free to select Metro Auto Body to ensure quality, certified repairs.
Will my vehicle be restored to factory standards?
Yes. Our technicians follow OEM repair guidelines and use advanced diagnostics and equipment to return your vehicle to its pre-accident condition. We are certified to handle complex repairs and use computerized paint matching for accurate color blending.
Do you use original parts (OEM) or aftermarket parts?
We can install OEM parts whenever possible and preferred. If insurance or other constraints dictate otherwise, we’ll explain the options clearly so you can make the right decision for quality and safety.
How long does a repair take?
Repair time varies based on the extent of damage, parts availability, and insurance approvals. Minor repairs might take only a few days, while comprehensive collision work could take longer. We’ll provide an estimated timeline once your vehicle is fully evaluated.
Can Metro Auto Body match my vehicle’s paint color?
Absolutely. We use computerized paint matching technology and Spray-Bake finishing methods to ensure a seamless color match and smooth finish that blends perfectly with your existing paint.
Do you provide rental car or ride arrangements?
While we do not provide rental cars directly, we can help you coordinate with rental companies and assist with logistics during the repair process. Check your insurance policy for rental coverage.
What happens if more damage is found after repairs begin?
It’s common for hidden damage to be discovered once repairs start. If this happens, we’ll communicate with you and your insurance company to update the estimate and timeline before proceeding.
Are my safety systems checked during repair?
Yes. Modern vehicles have complex safety systems (airbags, ABS, ADAS). We have the proper diagnostic tools and trained technicians to identify and repair any system faults to ensure your vehicle is safe and road-ready.
Do you offer warranties on your work?
Metro Auto Body strives for quality and stands behind its service. Ask our team about repair work warranties and what coverage applies to parts, paint finishes, and labor.

For your appointment, bring:
-
Your insurance claim information
