What Our Collision Repair Customers Say

Had a pretty bad fender bender on 15-501 last month and was dreading the whole repair process. Act's made it so much easier than I expected! They worked directly with my insurance (State Farm) and kept me updated throughout the 8 days my Honda was there. The paint match on my silver Accord is perfect - honestly can't tell where the damage was. Tony at the front desk was super patient explaining everything since this was my first accident. Only minor complaint is they were running about a day behind their original estimate, but they called to let me know. Would definitely use them again, hopefully won't need to though! 😅

– Maria G., Chapel Hill

Solid work on my truck's rear quarter panel. Someone backed into my F-150 in the Harris Teeter parking lot and left a decent dent. Act's got it hammered out and repainted in about 5 days. Price was fair - came in right at the estimate they gave me. The guys there know what they're doing, been around a while. Paint's holding up well after 3 months. Good local shop.

– Robert K., Chapel Hill

I was honestly skeptical about taking my 2019 Subaru here after reading some mixed reviews online, but I'm so glad I did! The whole front bumper needed to be replaced after I hit a deer on Old Durham Road (ugh, country living problems). The team was incredibly thorough - they even found some additional damage I hadn't noticed and got it approved through insurance. The work took about 10 days, which was longer than some other places quoted, but the attention to detail was worth it. They even detailed the car before I picked it up! The only thing that bugged me was having to call a couple times for updates, but when I did talk to them they were always helpful. The repair looks factory fresh and I've had zero issues since getting it back in September. Definitely recommend for quality work even if you have to wait a bit longer.

Frequently Asked Questions About Collision Repair

How long will my collision repair take at your Chapel Hill location?

Repair timelines depend on the extent of damage and parts availability. Minor repairs like bumper scratches or small dents typically take 2-3 days, while major collision work involving frame damage or multiple panels can take 1-2 weeks. We work with all major insurance companies and will provide you with a detailed timeline estimate after our initial inspection. Parts availability can sometimes extend timelines, especially for newer or luxury vehicles, but we'll keep you updated throughout the process and help arrange rental car coverage through your insurance if needed.

Do you work with my insurance company, and how does the claims process work?

Yes, we work directly with all major insurance companies including State Farm, Progressive, GEICO, Allstate, and others. We can handle the entire claims process for you - from the initial damage assessment to communicating with your adjuster. Once you file your claim, we'll schedule an inspection with your insurance company, provide a detailed repair estimate, and coordinate approval for the work. You'll only be responsible for your deductible, which is due when you pick up your vehicle. We also offer direct billing to make the process as smooth as possible for our Chapel Hill customers.

What's included in your repair estimates and how much should I expect to pay?

Our estimates include all necessary bodywork, paint materials, labor, and OEM or high-quality aftermarket parts. For insurance claims, you'll typically only pay your deductible. For out-of-pocket repairs, costs vary widely - minor touch-ups might run $300-800, while significant collision damage can range from $3,000-15,000 depending on the vehicle and damage extent. We provide detailed written estimates breaking down parts, labor, and materials. All estimates are free, and we'll explain each line item so you understand exactly what work is being performed on your vehicle.

Are you licensed and do you guarantee your collision repair work?

Yes, Act's Paint & Body Shop is fully licensed by the North Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles and maintains all required certifications for collision repair work. We're also certified to work with specific manufacturers' repair procedures. We stand behind our work with a comprehensive warranty - lifetime guarantee on workmanship and paint, plus we warranty parts according to manufacturer specifications. If you experience any issues with our repairs, bring your vehicle back and we'll make it right at no charge. We're committed to restoring your vehicle to pre-accident condition.

What should I do immediately after an accident before bringing my car to your shop?

First, ensure everyone's safety and call 911 if there are injuries. Take photos of all vehicle damage, the accident scene, and get the other driver's insurance information. Contact your insurance company to file a claim - many have 24/7 claim reporting. If your vehicle is drivable, you can bring it directly to our Chapel Hill location for a damage assessment. If it's not safe to drive, we can arrange towing. Don't worry about getting multiple estimates if you're using insurance - most companies allow you to choose your preferred shop. Call us as soon as possible so we can guide you through the next steps and get your repair process started quickly.
