Repairs
Everything after the bump, under one roof.
Most repairs are paid by insurance, and you pay only your deductible. Paying yourself? Every price here is a real starting point.
Collision repair
Free estimate · 3–10 days
From a crumpled corner to structural damage, repaired to the manufacturer’s procedures and measured, never eyeballed.
Paintless dent repair
From $125 · often same day
Door dings, creases and hail pushed out from behind, so the factory paint is never touched.
Paint & refinishing
From $350 a panel · 2–3 days
Color matched with a spectrophotometer, blended into the panels beside it, clear-coated and polished.
Bumper repair
From $395 · 1–2 days
Cracks and scuffs repaired or the cover replaced, painted to match, parking sensors refitted and tested.
Frame & unibody
From $650 · 2–4 days
Measured by computer against factory dimensions before and after, with the printout in your file.
ADAS calibration
From $195 · about 2 hours
Cameras, radar and lane-keeping sensors recalibrated after any repair that touches them — required, not optional.
Glass & windshields
From $289 · same day
Windshields and door glass replaced, with camera recalibration wherever your car needs it.
Hail & storm damage
Insurance claims · 2–7 days
Hail, fallen branches and storm damage, with priority estimates in the week after a Gulf storm.

Estimate
Typical timeAbout 20 minutes
We photograph and measure the damage, write a detailed estimate and send it to your insurer the same day.
Step 2
Insurer approval
Typical time1–3 days
The adjuster reviews our estimate, sometimes here at the shop. We handle the back-and-forth; you get a text the moment it is approved.
Step 3
Parts ordered
Typical time1–5 days
Parts are ordered to the manufacturer’s specification and checked against your car when they arrive, so nothing waits on a wrong part.
Step 4
Body repair
Typical time1–4 days
Damaged panels are repaired or replaced and the structure is measured. Hidden damage is photographed and sent to your insurer before we go on.
Step 5
Paint
Typical time1–2 days
Color matched with a spectrophotometer, sprayed in a downdraft booth, blended into the panels beside it and clear-coated.
Step 6
Reassembly & calibration
Typical timeAbout a day
Lights, trim and sensors go back on, and the driver-assist cameras and radar are recalibrated and road-tested.
Step 7
Quality check
Typical timeHalf a day
A second technician checks every panel gap, light and sensor. Then the car is washed and vacuumed inside.
Step 8
Ready
Typical timePick-up day
We walk round the car with you, explain the invoice and hand over the lifetime warranty. Your rental goes back the same day.

Your rights, explained
Three things your insurer may not mention.
Plain answers to the questions we hear most in the week after an accident.
You choose the shop
Your insurer can recommend a shop, but in Florida it cannot require you to use one. Tell your adjuster you would like Bayview — we work with every insurer.
Direct repair, explained
Some insurers have direct-repair agreements that speed up approval. We work with most of them, and when we do not, we deal with the adjuster for you. Your claim is the same either way.
A rental while you wait
If your policy includes rental coverage, or the other driver was at fault, a rental is covered for the length of the repair. We book it before you arrive and extend it if a part runs late.
This is general information, not legal advice. Your policy decides what is covered — we are happy to read it through with you.
Before & after

Drag the handle to compare. A front fender between body repair and paint — then color-matched, blended and clear-coated.

Lifetimewarranty on our workmanship and paint, for as long as you own the car.
A text at every step
Photos and plain-English updates from estimate to pick-up — you will never have to chase us.
Factory repair procedures
We follow your manufacturer’s published procedures, and measure the structure before and after.
Color matched by instrument
A spectrophotometer reads your paint, and every panel is blended so the match holds in sunlight.
Back cleaner than it came
Every car is washed and vacuumed before you see it — and your rental is returned for you.
Prices
Paying yourself? Typical costs.
Small repairs often cost less than a deductible. These are real starting prices for most cars — your written estimate is free.
With an insurance claim
You pay only your deductible, at pick-up. We bill your insurer directly for the rest.

Before tax. Luxury paints, tri-coats and larger vehicles can cost more — you will see it on the estimate, never as a surprise.
Someone ran a red light and I was a mess. Bayview called my insurer, had a rental waiting, and texted me photos at every step. The car looks like it left the factory yesterday.
The tracker was the best part. I knew the paint was done before my adjuster did.
My insurer pushed me toward another shop. Bayview explained the choice was mine, then handled every call with the adjuster.
Hail dents across the hood and roof, gone in two days with paintless repair. You honestly cannot tell.

Questions
Good questions, straight answers.
Still unsure about your claim? Call the claims desk — we will talk you through it, even if your car ends up somewhere else.
Do I need three estimates?
Usually not. Most insurers need only one detailed estimate from the shop you choose. If yours asks for more, we will tell you exactly what they need.
Will my insurance rates go up?
That depends on your insurer and who was at fault, so it is worth asking them. We can repair your car with or without a claim — just ask for a cash estimate.
How long will the repair take?
Most repairs take three to ten working days. Your tracker shows where the car is at every step, and we text you if anything changes.
What if you find more damage?
It is common once panels come off. We photograph it, send a supplement to your insurer for approval, and tell you what it means for the timeline.
Is my car safe to drive?
If lights, mirrors or steering are affected, or anything is hanging loose, please do not drive it. Call us and we will arrange a tow.
Do you work with my insurance company?
Yes — every insurer, including the ones we have no direct-repair agreement with.
What does the lifetime warranty cover?
Our workmanship and paint for as long as you own the car: peeling, fading, cracking or a repair that does not hold. Parts carry their maker’s warranty.
