FAQ

Questions people ask before they call

Do I have to use my insurance company's shop?

No. Texas law lets you choose the repair shop. Your insurer can suggest one, but the choice is yours. Red Barn handles the repair-side paperwork. See insurance claims.

What should I send for an estimate?

Year, make, model, photos of the damage, what happened, insurance status, and whether the vehicle drives. A prior estimate helps if you have one. Start at contact.

Do you work on classic cars and trucks?

Yes. Classics get a deeper first look because rust and old repairs hide under paint and floors. Send photos and your goal. See classic restoration.
