Direct repair with your insurer

We deal with the insurance company. You don't.

Jersey Automotive is a direct repair partner with major insurance companies. That means your insurer already trusts our estimates, so the paperwork, photos and phone calls that normally land on you come to us instead.

A color match you can't spot.

We refinish with PPG's Envirobase High Performance waterborne system. It matches color precisely, dries to a cleaner, brighter finish than solvent paint and releases far fewer VOCs into the air.

My insurance company recommended another shop. Can I still come to you?
Yes. You're free to choose where your vehicle is repaired. Just tell your insurer you'd like Jersey Automotive to do the work and we'll handle the rest with them directly.
When do I pay my deductible?
Your deductible is due when you pick up your vehicle. We accept cash, checks and all major credit cards.
Can you get me a rental or a ride?
Yes. We work with several rental companies and will set one up for you. We can also give you a ride within the neighborhood, depending on distance.
What if I need to drop off my car after hours?
