Collision center FAQs at European Motorcars

Your Questions Answered by Middletown’s Trusted Collision Center

At European Motorcars, we understand that navigating the collision repair process can be daunting. Our goal is to provide clarity and confidence every step of the way. Below are answers to some of the most frequently asked questions:


Do you work with any insurance companies?

We Work Directly with Your Insurance Company

Let us take the stress out of the claims process. At EMC Collision Center, we’ve built strong working relationships with nearly every major auto insurance provider. Our experienced team knows how to navigate the paperwork and “cut through the red tape” to ensure your repair process is as smooth and efficient as possible.

Why do estimates vary?

Understanding Repair Estimates

Differences between repair estimates are common—sometimes a lower estimate may not cover all the necessary work. If you’re unsure why one estimate varies from another, just ask one of our knowledgeable associates. We’re here to help you understand every detail.

What if my car looks unsafe to drive?

Safety First—Don’t Drive a Damaged Vehicle

If your car is unsafe to drive due to damage, please don’t take the risk. We’re happy to arrange towing directly to our repair facility for your convenience and peace of mind.

Where do I go for an insurance estimate?

Insurance Estimates Made Easy

Some insurance companies may ask you to submit a virtual estimate using photos, visit a drive-in claims center, or have an appraiser inspect your vehicle in person before repairs begin. You have options: you can complete these steps yourself, or simply leave your car with us and request that the insurance company send an appraiser to our location.

At EMC Collision Center, we work closely with all major insurance providers and maintain open communication to keep them informed of all necessary work and repairs on your vehicle—making the process smooth and hassle-free for you.

Where can I get my vehicle repaired?

Your Car. Your Choice.

You have the legal right to choose the collision repair center that works on your vehicle—your insurance company cannot require you to use a specific shop. While they may recommend a reputable facility, you are free to choose the one you trust.

EMC Collision Center is proud to be a recommended and trusted partner with many major insurers—and more importantly, with our customers.


What forms of payments are accepted?

Flexible Payment Options for Your Convenience

We gladly accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express.

We also accept insurance payments, as well as personal and business checks with prior approval.

How are your technicians trained?

Do you offer a warranty?

Collision Repairs Backed by a Limited Lifetime Warranty
