Long Island City, Astoria, Sunnyside, Woodside, Maspeth, Ridgewood, Jackson Heights and the rest of the borough, plus Manhattan, Brooklyn, the Bronx and Staten Island. Long Island City sits at the mouth of the bridge and tunnel routes, so we are often the closest shop to an incident on the approaches.
If the car is not drivable, call before arranging a tow. Where a car is towed to usually decides where it gets repaired, and that choice is yours.

Insurer's network shop or a shop you choose?
In New York you choose where your car is repaired. An insurer can recommend a shop in its network, but it cannot require you to use one.
| Question | Insurer's network shop | A shop you choose |
|---|---|---|
| Who picks it | Recommended by the insurer | You do |
| Who the shop has an agreement with | The insurer | You, the customer |
| Estimate | Often written under the insurer's program rules | Written by the shop and reviewed by the adjuster |
| Hidden damage found later | Handled within the program | Documented and sent to the adjuster as a supplement |
