Last updated: January 2025

Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly — name, phone, email, vehicle details, and photos — when you request an estimate or service. We also collect basic analytics data (pages visited, device type) to improve our website.

How We Use Your Information

Your information is used to provide estimates and repair services, communicate with you about your vehicle, process insurance claims on your behalf, and improve our service. We do not sell your data.

Cookies & Tracking

Our site uses essential cookies for functionality and may use analytics cookies to understand site usage. You can disable cookies in your browser settings; some features may not work without them.

Third-Party Sharing

We share information only with: (a) your insurance carrier when handling a claim on your behalf, (b) parts suppliers as needed for repair, and (c) service providers (email, hosting) bound by confidentiality. We never sell your information to advertisers.

Your Rights

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of the personal information we hold about you. California, Virginia, and EU residents have additional rights under CCPA, VCDPA, and GDPR respectively.

Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information. No system is 100% secure; we encourage you to use strong passwords and avoid sending sensitive data over unsecured channels.

Children's Privacy

Our services are not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be posted here with an updated effective date.
