Frequently Asked Questions

Help Center

Have questions about auto body repair? You’re not alone. Drivers ask us these questions all the time, so we put together simple answers to help you know what to expect.

Do you work with my insurance company?

Yes. Ray Harris Paint and Body works with many insurance companies and can help with estimates, repair documentation, and claim-related communication. We keep the process as clear as possible so you understand the next steps.

Yes, you can choose your own repair shop. Your insurance company may recommend a shop, but it cannot require you to use one specific facility. Ray Harris Paint and Body can help explain the estimate and guide you through the repair process.

You can usually wash your car gently after 48–72 hours, but it is best to wait at least 30 days before waxing. This gives the new paint time to cure and helps protect the finish.

A quality paint finish can last for many years with proper care. Weather, sun exposure, washing habits, and regular maintenance all play a role. Good prep work and quality refinishing materials also help the finish stay bright and durable.

Most auto body repairs take a few days to a week, depending on the damage, parts availability, paint work, and insurance approval if a claim is involved. Ray Harris Paint and Body will give you a timeline after the estimate and keep you updated as the repair moves forward.
