Frequently Asked Questions

How long will it take to repair my vehicle?

The repair time varies demanding on how much damage has occurred to your vehicle. We are not in the business of storing cars and we do not receive payment until the job is complete. So our goal is to get your vehicle back to pre-accident condition quickly and efficiently. We never let a vehicle leave unless we know 100% that it is safe and repaired correctly. If you ever have any questions about how much longer the repair will take, feel free to give us a call.

Do I have to pay my deductible?

The collision repair industry is highly regulated by the insurance companies. So it is not usually profitable to waive deductibles and still repair the vehicle correctly. Shops that offer that they will save your deductible are usually ripping off you and the insurance company both. Chances are that they are failing to repair parts of the vehicle, like non-visible damage; or they are using inferior parts and untrained labor to complete the repairs.

Do you offer a lifetime warranty?

Brightwood offers lifetime warranties on all repairs. This includes everything that we repaired on your vehicle for as long as you own your vehicle. This warranty includes all paint refinishing, body work, frame work, and replacement parts. In the rare case that anything part of the repairs fails just bring it back and we will take a look. Saying that, this doesn’t make our repairs bullet proof, and our warranty does not cover future collision damage or normal wear and tear.

Do I have to go to the shop that the insurance company “suggests”?

In no case must you go to one shop over another because your insurance company wants you to. In the state of Arizona it is illegal for any insurance company to tell you where you can and cannot go to get your vehicle repaired. They may try hard to push you towards one shop or another but it is only so that they can save a little money. At Brightwood, we work with all insurance companies no matter how big or small. Even if our estimate comes up different than theirs we will work out the differences and you will not be required to pay the difference the estimates.

What Our Customers Are Saying About Us

“Did body work for me two years ago. Took a different SUV in last week to inquire about options for removing paint from unknown parking lot source. Owner got some rubbing compound and rag…fixed the problem at no charge. Never expected that plus they did a really professional job two years ago. RECOMMEND!”

JERRY G.

“We have had several company vehicles repaired here. They do quality work in a reasonable time frame for the right price. The owner’s son owns a detailing service that can make an old work truck look like new, or your nice car look like it’s ready for a show! Great people to deal with. We’ll recommend them over and over.”

MATT O.

“They did an amazing job fixing my car after I was involved in an accident. It looks just like it did when I bought it. They went above and beyond for me, working with the third party’s insurance and making sure everything was perfect. Sal was the best! Definitely recommend them.”

JIHAD S.

“I went in for an insurance quote. Someone was able to come out and look at my van right away. I don’t remember his name, but he look his time inspecting the vehicle. Super friendly, patient and answered all my questions. Then we went back into the office and in about 5 – 10 minutes, he had my estimate in hand. Very efficient. When my insurance company called with additional questions, they were also answered with professionalism. Fantastic work!”
