No. We will tell you when a repair isn't worth doing, or when a cheaper fix is enough.

Frequently asked questions
How do I get a free body shop estimate in Austin?
Walk in to Nova Body Shop at 8415 N Lamar Blvd during open hours for a free body shop estimate in 5 to 15 minutes, with no appointment. For a quote by text, send your VIN and photos from several angles to 512-837-8174 or email novabodyshop@yahoo.com.
Why do you need my VIN?
The VIN identifies the exact model, trim and options, which decides which parts fit and what they cost. It makes a remote quote much more accurate.
What photos should I send?
Several angles: a wide shot of the whole side of the car, then closer shots of the damage from the front, the side and at an angle, in good light.
Is a photo estimate final?
No. Photos give a starting point. The in-person look confirms it, and hidden damage behind panels can add to the estimate once the car is apart.
