What Is Auto Body Repair? (And How Is It Different From Paint Correction?)

Auto body repair, also called collision repair, restores a vehicle's structure and panels after physical damage — dents, bumper damage, panel misalignment, or frame damage from a collision — including replacing or repairing parts and matching new paint to the vehicle's original color. Paint correction, by contrast, addresses cosmetic defects like swirls and light scratches within existing, undamaged clear coat — it doesn't repair structural or panel damage.

Quick answer: Paint correction polishes existing paint to remove surface defects. Auto body repair fixes physical damage — dents, bumpers, panels, frame — and repaints or refinishes the repaired area to match.

Working With Your Insurance Company

We work directly with all insurance companies to make the claims process as smooth as possible — from providing a written estimate to coordinating with your adjuster. Under New York Insurance Law §2610, insurers cannot require you to repair your vehicle at a specific shop; the choice of repair shop is yours.

Know Your Rights

Your insurer may recommend a "preferred" shop, but in New York you are not required to use it. Your insurance company must still negotiate in good faith and pay for repairs at the shop you choose.
