Repair time depends on the extent of the damage. Minor dent repairs and small collision fixes may be completed in 1–3 days, while more extensive repairs involving structural damage or full repaints can take 1–2 weeks or longer. After your initial assessment, we’ll give you a clear timeline so you’re never left guessing. We work efficiently without cutting corners to get you back on the road as quickly as possible.

A spot repair targets a specific damaged area — like a scratch, chip, or small dented panel — and blends the new paint seamlessly into the surrounding finish. A full repaint covers the entire vehicle and is typically done when there is extensive damage, significant fading, or when you want a color change. We’ll recommend the most cost-effective solution based on your vehicle’s condition during your free estimate.

After a new paint job, we recommend waiting at least 30 days before waxing or using any abrasive polishes. Avoid automatic car washes with brushes during this time — hand washing is best. Keep the vehicle out of direct sunlight when possible during the first few weeks. We’ll walk you through full aftercare instructions when you pick up your vehicle.

The best way is to bring your vehicle in for a free assessment. In general, PDR works well when the paint is undamaged and the dent isn’t too deep or located on a sharp crease. If the paint has cracked, chipped, or the metal is severely stretched or creased, traditional body repair and repainting may be necessary. Our technicians will give you an honest recommendation on the best approach for your specific situation.

No, driving a vehicle with frame damage can be dangerous. A compromised frame affects the structural integrity of your vehicle, impacts handling and alignment, and significantly reduces the effectiveness of your crumple zones and safety systems in the event of another collision. If you suspect frame damage after an accident, have your vehicle inspected immediately. Do not drive it until a professional has assessed the damage.

In many cases, yes. T & T Auto Body and Service uses computerized frame straightening equipment to measure and restore your vehicle’s frame to manufacturer specifications with extreme precision. However, the extent of restoration depends on the severity of the damage and the vehicle’s overall condition. After a thorough inspection, we’ll give you an honest assessment of what’s possible and what it will cost with no surprises.
