Questions to Ask Before Your Paint Job

Whichever shop you choose, ask these questions before you approve the work:

1. Will you blend the paint into the panels next to it? Blending is the key to an invisible repair.
2. What paint system do you use, and is the clear coat included?
3. Is there a warranty on the paint, and how long does it last?
4. Can I get a written estimate with labor and materials listed separately?
5. How long will you need the car?
6. Will you work directly with my insurance company?

Using Insurance for Paint and Body Work

If your car was damaged in an accident, you have the right in California to choose your own repair shop. You don’t have to use the shop your insurance company recommends. Get the claim number first, then give it to the shop so they can work with the adjuster. If the shop finds hidden damage after taking the car apart, they can ask your insurer for more money through a supplement.
