Nationwide Is On Your Side — And So Are We

Nationwide Insurance may recommend their approved repair facilities — but New York State law gives you the right to choose any licensed body shop. Our I-CAR Gold certified team works alongside your Nationwide claim to maximize your payout and ensure a complete, factory-spec restoration.

NY State Law Protects Your Choice

You have the legal right to choose any licensed repair facility — Nationwide’s recommended shops are optional, not required.

We Advocate for Your Maximum Payout

Our team documents all covered damage and negotiates with Nationwide’s adjusters to secure the full coverage your policy allows.

40 Years of Nationwide Claims Experience

We know Nationwide’s adjuster process inside and out — and how to navigate it to get your repair fully funded.

Factory Restoration, OEM-Compatible Parts

Every repair meets manufacturer tolerances using OEM-compatible parts — protecting your vehicle’s safety and value.
