FAQ

Do I have to pay for the estimate?
Absolutely NOT. You should never pay for an estimate to repair your Vehicle. We hope that you choose to let Jerry’s Leesburg Collision perform the repairs on your vehicle but you are under no obligation just because we give you an estimate.  You are able to take your vehicle anywhere you want to have it repaired.  We work with ALL insurance companies!  If you have an insurance estimate already, just bring that with you to your appointment, and we will work from that and then contact the insurance company for any additional items found. ​Will the parts be ordered before I drop off my vehicle for repair?
Absolutely. We generally order your vehicle’s parts at the time that we write the estimate and schedule your vehicle for drop-off a couple of days later unless your vehicle is found unsafe to drive, then we would help you arrange for a rental vehicle as soon as possible. This enables us to provide quicker turnaround time.

If my vehicle’s frame is damaged, is it a total loss?
No. A car is a total loss only when the price of repairs exceeds the insurance company’s determined value of your vehicle. Nowadays, most cars are built using unibody (frame and body as one) construction. Our highly skilled technicians, with the aid of our state-of the-art frame machine with computer & laser measuring system , can return your vehicle to its original factory specifications. If it is determined that the frame section is bent beyond repair, that section can simply be replaced.

Can you match the paint color?
Yes!  We have a state of the art paint mixing system.  We start by getting the paint code from your vehicle manufacturer, then mix the paint using BASF Automotive Refinish products.  BASF is among the top paint manufacturers and have a solid warranty.   We will do all necessary blending to ensure your vehicle’s paint matches.   We have a new, state of the art oversized paint booth. 

Can I get other service work done on my vehicle while it is in the body shop?
Yes. Just let your adviser know what other work you would like done so that he or she can make the necessary arrangements.

How long will the repairs to my vehicle take?
Your adviser can give you an estimate of the time it will take to complete the repairs to your vehicle. Be sure to check with your adviser for the specifics on your vehicle.

How can it get a rental car?
If you need a rental car, we can help you make the necessary arrangements. Insurance companies will only pay for a rental car if you have that option on your policy or if you are the claimant. Check your policy and/or call your insurance company to find out if you have rental coverage and what your specific limitations are.

How will I know when my car is done?
You will be notified when your vehicle is ready to be picked up. Feel free to call or e-mail your adviser during the repair process if you have questions or concerns.​Is there a warranty on the repairs to my vehicle?
Yes. We guarantee all repairs with a Lifetime Warranty as long as you own your car. The Warranty is Nontransferable.​Do I have to pay a deductible?
The amount of deductible that you will be responsible for is determined by your insurance policy. If you carry broad collision, and you were not at fault, your insurance company most likely will waive your deductible. Insurance companies determine fault by your account of the accident when you make the claim, and by reviewing the accident report filed with the police department. If you aren’t sure about your deductible, you can call your agent and he can tell you whether your insurance company has waived your deductible or whether you will be responsible to pay this when you pick up your vehicle.​Who do I pay my deductible to?
If your deductible is not waived, it will be your responsibility to pay us when you pick up your vehicle. If you aren’t sure about your deductible, you can call your agent and he can tell you whether your insurance company has waived your deductible or whether it will be your responsibility.​What forms of payment do you accept?
The easiest and most convenient way to pay for your portion of the repairs to your vehicle is with a major credit card. We accept Cash,Visa, MasterCard, & Discover. Checks are accepted up to $500​What are betterment charges?
Parts that wear out and need replacement with time and use (i.e., tires, batteries, and suspension parts) are commonly subject to betterment charges when they are replaced during the repair process. These betterment charges are determined by your insurance company and are pro-rated based on actual miles on your vehicle.

Can I wash my car?
Recommendations and precautions in the first 30 days.

DO · Wash the vehicle by hand with cool water and a very mild car wash solution using a soft cloth or sponge. · Always use clean fresh water. · Wash your vehicle in the shade
DON’T · Do not use a commercial car wash. Stiff brushes or sponges could mar the finish and damage the surface. · Do not “dry wipe” your vehicle. Dry wiping can scratch the finish. · Do not drive on gravel roads. Chipping the finish is easily done in the first 30 days. · Avoid parking under trees and utility lines which are likely to attract birds. Bird droppings have a high acid content and will damage a freshly painted surface. Also, tree sap can mar or spot a freshly painted surface. · Do not spill gasoline, oil, antifreeze, transmission fluid, or windshield solvent on the new finish. · Do not scrape ice or snow from the newly painted surface.

Recommendations and precautions in the first 90 days.

DON’T · Do not wax or polish the vehicle. This will allow the finish to dry and harden completely.After painting and applying clear coat, your vehicle is baked to give the paint durability and a high gloss that will last for the life of your vehicle. Your vehicle’s paint is then inspected and buffed to meet our quality standard.
