We Accept AAA
And Fight For Your Maximum Payout.
We work directly with AAA Insurance adjusters to maximize your collision claim and restore your vehicle to factory condition. Over 40 years of Nassau County collision repair experience — we know exactly how to navigate AAA’s claims process.
You Don’t Have to Use AAA’s Approved Repair Network
AAA Insurance may direct you toward their approved repair facilities — but New York State law gives you the right to choose any licensed body shop. Our I-CAR Gold certified technicians at Brookside work for you, fighting to maximize your AAA payout and get your vehicle properly restored.
NY State Law Protects Your Choice
You have the legal right to choose any licensed repair facility — AAA cannot require you to use their network shops.
We Work for You, Not AAA
Our certified team advocates for maximum coverage and a complete, factory-spec repair — not the insurer’s minimum payout.
40 Years Handling AAA Claims
We know AAA’s claims process inside and out — and how to document and negotiate for everything your policy covers.
Factory-Spec Restoration, OEM Parts
Every repair uses OEM-compatible parts and meets manufacturer tolerances, protecting your vehicle’s value and safety.
