You can choose where your car is repaired

Your insurance company may suggest a shop from its network, but in Florida it can't require you to use a particular repair shop. You can bring your car to the body shop you trust.

Who pays for the repair?

Florida is a no-fault state for injuries, but damage to your car works differently:

  • The other driver was at fault: their property damage liability coverage usually pays.
  • You were at fault, or it was a single-car accident: your collision coverage pays, minus your deductible.
  • Hit-and-run, uninsured driver, flood or a fallen tree: it depends on your policy — usually collision, comprehensive or uninsured motorist property damage.

Hidden damage and supplements

Once parts come off, we sometimes find damage the first estimate couldn't show. We photograph it and document it so it can be added to the claim before we fix it. No surprises on the bill.

What to have ready

  • Your claim number
  • Photos of the damage and the scene
  • The other driver's insurer and policy number, if another car was involved
  • Your deductible amount

It was my first time coming here, and I am absolutely blown away by the work this body shop did on my car. I had my calipers painted and the results came out AMAZING. The attention to detail, quality of the finish, and overall professionalism were top tier.

Everybody else said no. Pride said yes, and I'd give 6 stars if I could. David and Mary are professionals. They had to do some modifications to make the aero kit fit and did it with ease and precision. I tried 3 repair and custom shops before I found Pride on Google.

If you have a rare or special vehicle that you care about, this is the place to take it. I brought in my 2020 Nissan 370Z 50th Anniversary Edition, which has a very specific red and white paint scheme, for a full paint redo, body damage repair and some extra touch-ups.

No words can describe my absolute satisfaction and gratitude to David and Mary for taking my car under their wings to repair multiple issues and add incredible sound with a new exhaust. I felt informed of every step and met with kindness.

Mary and David are amazing! I wouldn't trust anyone else with my vehicle. They made sure my car was completely ready for a cross-country trip: exhaust pipe, shifting, headlights and an oil change. A rare, honest shop. Highly communicative and reliable.

They fixed my starter quickly and did an incredible job, and on top of that they vacuumed and washed my car for free. They also have great pricing for detailing. David was amazing to work with and very attentive!

FAQ

Insurance claim auto body repair in Miami: common questions

No. Your insurer can recommend a shop, but in Florida it can't require you to use one. Just tell them which shop you've chosen.

What if the shop finds more damage after the estimate?

That's common once parts are removed. We photograph it and add it to the claim before doing the extra work.
