Schedule Your Free Damage Consultation →We handle insurance claims every day and have great working relationships with all the major carriers. But let's be clear — our job is to fix your car the right way, not the cheap way. We follow the manufacturer's exact repair procedures on every job, and we use the parts your vehicle was designed for. If an insurance company pushes for shortcuts that compromise your safety or the quality of your repair, we push back. You deserve a car that's as safe as it was before the accident — and that's what you'll get at Rusty's Bodywerks.
Every repair follows the exact steps your vehicle's manufacturer requires. No improvising. No cutting corners.
We use the parts your car was built with — because cheap aftermarket parts can affect how your vehicle performs in the next accident.

Got questions after an accident? We've got answers. Here's what Collin County drivers ask us most.
Stay calm and make sure everyone is safe. Exchange insurance information with the other driver, document the damage with photos, and file a police report if needed. Then call Rusty's Bodywerks — we'll walk you through the next steps, work with your insurance company, and get your vehicle back to pre-accident condition.
No — and this is important. In Texas, you have the legal right to choose your own repair facility, regardless of what your insurance company tells you. Many insurers will try to steer you toward their "preferred" or "approved" shops — called Direct Repair Program (DRP) shops. Here's what they don't tell you: those shops have a financial agreement with the insurance company to keep repair costs down. That can mean skipping manufacturer-required procedures, using cheaper aftermarket parts instead of factory parts, or bypassing post-repair safety inspections. The result? A car that looks fixed but may not perform the way it was designed to in your next accident — affecting everything from airbag deployment to your vehicle's crash safety rating. At Rusty's Bodywerks, we work with all insurers every day — but we answer to you, not them. We follow every manufacturer repair procedure, use factory-approved parts, and complete all required safety inspections on every vehicle. Your car should protect your family just as well after a repair as it did the day you bought it. Call us and we'll walk you through your rights and exactly what your repair should include.
It depends on the type of damage. Comprehensive claims (hail, weather, animals) generally do not raise your rates. Collision claims may affect your rate only if you are found to be more than 49% at fault. If you're not at fault, your deductible may also be recoverable from the other party's insurance.
It depends on the extent of the damage and parts availability. Minor repairs can be done in 1–3 days. Moderate collision repairs typically take 1–2 weeks. We'll give you a realistic timeline in your written estimate and keep you updated throughout the process.
Absolutely. Hail damage is one of our most common repairs in North Texas. We use both Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) and traditional methods depending on the severity. We also handle the insurance claim from start to finish — just bring it in.
Yes — and ours goes further than almost any shop in the area. Rusty's Bodywerks offers a true lifetime warranty on all repairs. Not "lifetime while you own the vehicle." Not "lifetime with exclusions." If we fixed it, we stand behind it — period, for as long as that car is on the road.
Here's what makes ours different: our warranty is fully transferable. If you sell your car, the warranty goes with it. That means a documented repair from Rusty's Bodywerks is actually a selling point when you go to sell — buyers know the work was done right and is still covered. Most shops offer a warranty that disappears the moment you hand over the keys to a new owner. Ours doesn't.
To put it plainly: many shops offer a 1–3 year warranty. Some offer a "lifetime" warranty that's buried in fine print and voids if you sell the car or move. We offer a straightforward, no-games lifetime warranty that follows the vehicle — because we're confident enough in our work to back it up forever. If something we repaired isn't right, we'll make it right. No runaround, no excuses. That's our promise.
We're happy to walk you through anything — no obligation. Give us a call or fill out the form and we'll get back to you same day.

Your car will be like new again. Don't take your car to an insurance company approved shop — those shops will cut corners."
"They argued with my insurance on how to repair my truck the proper way. After weeks of back and forth it went from me being out of pocket thousands of dollars to $220. I can't thank them enough. I will continue to use them."
"Rusty found that the insurance company's preferred shop had left me with an unsafe car to drive. Without his knowledge and care my car would not have been fixed properly. If you want an honest body shop that makes your car safe again — make this your first choice."
"A family owned shop, not a chain with a new tech or manager every 3 months. There's a good reason this shop has a 5 star rating — it's because they perform 5 star work."
"$17k worth of damage to my Volvo XC90. He even drove personally to get a part when the wrong one was delivered, just to make sure I got my car on time. Fantastic job — cheaper than anyone else and done faster too."
"My BMW 750 has a special order grey color that is rare. Rusty's team went above and beyond to match it perfectly. My car looked like it came off the showroom floor. They will not disappoint you."
