How much does it cost to paint a car?

That depends. There are many factors involved in the cost of painting a car. What is the size of the vehicle? For example: is it a crew cab pickup truck or Smart Fortwo car? Is additional work required, such as repairing dents or rust, or is paint peeling? What color or colors are needed? Black or bright red? Two or three colors? What about painting inside the doors, under the hood, or inside the bed of a truck? All of these things and more are all involved in painting a car, making it very difficult to give any price without seeing the vehicle and understanding what the desired results are.

Do we do insurance work?

Yes. We work with all insurance companies to provide service for anyone needing repairs.

Do we do self-pay work?

Yes. We gladly work for self pay customers whether it is a large restoration project or simply reattaching a bumper.

Can I get an estimate over the phone or from pictures?

That depends. We may be able to give an idea on price over the phone depending on what the desired repair is. Example: If all that is needed is a new windshield, we probably can give an accurate price. If the vehicle was in an accident, it will be very difficult to give an estimate as there can be significant hidden damage. Pictures can be helpful but it is still best for everyone if we can see the vehicle.

Do I need an appointment for an estimate?

Walk-ins are welcome, but appointments are preferred and take priority. Call the office or contact us via the contact options here on our website. Click here to schedule your no-obligation, in-person consultation via our online scheduling tool.

Do we offer loaner vehicles?

We do not have a loaner program; however, we work with a trusted rental car company. They will have a rental waiting here for you when you drop your vehicle off for repairs and you can return the rental here when you pick up your vehicle after repairs are completed. Please let us know when you schedule repairs if you would like us to set up a rental for you.

Do we offer towing services?

We work with a trusted local towing company, and would be happy to arrange to have your vehicle towed to our shop for you, if necessary.

Do I have to take my vehicle to my insurance provider's recommended shop?

No, you have the right to choose where your vehicle is repaired. Insurance recommended shops usually have agreements with the insurance provider to do repairs at a lower cost to the insurer. This can sometimes result in a shop cutting corners on repairs to save costs. Tim’s Body Shop is an independent repair shop; safety and a proper repair are our first priority for all our customers.

Tim’s Body Shop is absolutely fantastic! I came in on a Friday afternoon with a car problem that needed to be figured out ASAP as I was an hour away from my destination and was driving back to New Jersey later in the weekend. They looked at my car right away, fixed the problem, and explained what happened. I can tell that they handle their business with integrity and care. I cannot recommend them enough!

Tims body shop did an excellent job. They went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of and updated throughout the entire process. My vehicle drives better than it did before. One of the best body shops in the area. They even handle the full process with insurance. I would recommend Tim’s Body shop to anyone! If you want a place that is top of the line quality in every way then look no further!

Patricia Cleveland

This was a 2nd restoration/refinish job for us. We were so happy with the repainting and repair work on our 2003 Ford Excursion we took in our 2005 Mustang. It was in great shape but the years had dulled finish and various areas (under cowling, trunk shocks, etc) needed replacement or repair. WOW. Beautiful. They really fixed and dressed up our darling pony.

Tim’s Body Shop did an excellent job repairing the damage to my wife’s Camry. Mike of the shop worked with the other driver’s insurance. All estimates were in line. Work was completed ahead of schedule. Plus they cleaned the car. Highly recommend.
