SERVICE 01 · COLLISION REPAIR
Collision Repair in New York's Capital Region
Full-impact body repair returned to pre-accident condition.
THE WORK
Collision repair at Eastern Collision Group.
A collision is disruptive enough without the body shop making it worse. At all three Eastern Collision Group locations, a repair starts with a teardown and a photo-documented estimate, so you and your insurer can see exactly what was damaged — including the structural and mechanical damage a walk-around inspection never finds.
From there we rebuild to the manufacturer's repair procedures rather than to whatever is fastest. Panels get repaired or replaced based on what the maker specifies, seams are re-sealed and corrosion-protected, and nothing leaves the shop without a final inspection and a road test.
Most collision work at Schodack Auto and Eastern Collision turns around in three to five days. Heavier structural jobs, typically handled at Red Mill Auto in Rensselaer, run one to two weeks depending on parts. You get a realistic completion date up front, and a phone call from the same people who wrote your estimate if anything changes.

FAQ
Questions we get about collision repair.
- Do I have to use the body shop my insurance company recommends?
- No. In New York you choose the shop that repairs your vehicle. We work directly with every major carrier, so bringing your car to us does not change your coverage or cost you anything beyond your deductible.
- How long will my collision repair take?
- Light cosmetic work is usually two to four days. A typical collision repair runs three to five days. Heavier structural or frame work generally takes one to two weeks, mostly depending on how quickly parts arrive.
- Is the repair guaranteed?
- Yes. Our workmanship on collision and refinish work is warrantied for as long as you own the vehicle, at all three locations.
