My car was recently brought in to have body work at R &G auto body shop. My car looked like a new car! Not only looked new , but they cleaned the car inside and out. My car looked better than when I got it from dealership! I had it back within two days. My sons and myself highly recommended R&G auto repair! They treat you like family and I didn’t have the pleasure of meeting them I did speak them on the phone and Ron was very pleasant. Thank you so much ! The Manstrelli family! The service was for the 2023 Nissan!

Experienced Collision Repair From Damage Assessment Through Final Inspection
Proper collision repair involves more than correcting visible dents and damaged paint. Depending on the impact and the vehicle, damage can affect body panels, mounting points, structural components, lighting, sensors, and other systems that may not be obvious during an initial visual inspection.
RG Autobody approaches each vehicle by first understanding the extent of the damage and the repairs required. Our technicians use collision-repair training, manufacturer-specific knowledge, and established repair procedures to determine which components can be repaired and which may need replacement.
If additional accident-related damage is discovered after disassembly, we document those findings and work with the insurance company on any necessary supplemental estimate. Once repairs and refinishing are completed, the vehicle is reassembled and reviewed before it is returned to you.
With more than 26 years serving Poughkeepsie and the Hudson Valley, our goal is to provide a complete repair with careful attention to fit, finish, appearance, and proper function.
Frequently Asked Questions About Collision Repair Services
What is collision repair, and why is it important?
Collision repair involves restoring a vehicle's body, frame, and paint after an accident or damage. It’s important because it ensures the vehicle is safe to drive, functions properly, and looks as good as new. Quality repairs can also preserve the resale value of your car by addressing both structural and cosmetic damage.
How long does it typically take to complete collision repairs?
The time required for collision repairs depends on the extent of the damage. Minor repairs, such as fixing small dents or scratches, may take a few days, while more significant damage that affects the vehicle's structure could take a week or 2 in most cases. At RG Autobody, we provide a detailed estimate and timeline after assessing the damage, and we keep you informed throughout the process.
Will my insurance cover the cost of collision repair?
In most cases, if you have comprehensive or collision coverage, your insurance will cover the cost of repairs, minus any deductible. RG Autobody works directly with your insurance company to handle the claims process on your behalf, ensuring that you receive the coverage you’re entitled to and that the process is as hassle-free as possible.
Do I have to use the repair shop recommended by my insurance company?
No, you have the right to choose any auto body repair shop for your vehicle. While your insurance company may recommend certain shops, the choice is ultimately yours. At RG Autobody, we encourage you to select a repair shop you trust to ensure that your vehicle is restored to its pre-accident condition with the highest level of care and expertise.
What should I do if my car is not drivable after an accident?
If your car is not drivable after an accident, the first step is to ensure your safety and contact emergency services if necessary. Once you’re safe, you can arrange for 24/7 emergency towing. RG Autobody offers towing services to bring your vehicle to our repair shop at any time, day or night. We can also assist with arranging a rental car while your vehicle is being repaired, so you can stay mobile during the process.
Can collision damage exist behind panels even if I can't see it?
Yes. Depending on the location and severity of an impact, visible exterior damage may be accompanied by damage to mounting points, reinforcement components, structural areas, lighting, sensors, or components behind the damaged panel. A complete assessment may require additional inspection or disassembly.
What is a supplemental estimate in collision repair?
A supplemental estimate documents accident-related damage or repair requirements that were not visible during the initial estimate. This commonly occurs after damaged parts are removed and additional affected components can be inspected.
