FAQs
What
Is A Direct Repair Shop?
A body shop that works directly with your insurance company as a preferred
shop that meets these requirements: certified technicians, using the proper
equipment, and most importantly, having a record of satisfied customers.
Will The Parts Be Ordered Before I Drop Off My Vehicle For Repair?
Your vehicle's parts are ordered at the time that we write the estimate and we schedule your vehicle for drop-off a couple of days later which gets your ride back on the road quicker.
If My Vehicle's Frame Is Damaged Is It A Total Loss?
No. Since most cars these days are built using unibody (frame and body
as one) construction, our highly skilled technicians, with the aid of
our state-of the-art systems, can return your vehicle to its original
factory specifications. If the frame section is bent beyond repair, that
section can be replaced.
Can
My Paint Color Be Matched?
Since modern factory finishes incorporate multiple layers of highly specialized
paints, Frederick Auto Body has invested in the finest paint system available
and constantly upgrades its technology and equipment to ensure that each
vehicle's paint matches.

parts) are commonly subject to betterment charges when they are replaced
during the repair process and are determined by your insurance company
and are pro-rated based on actual miles on your vehicle.
