Do you offer free estimates?

Yes. Stowe's Collision offers free estimates. Contact us with the vehicle and damage details to arrange an evaluation and ask what the estimate covers.

Does a free estimate include diagnostic testing or disassembly?

Ask which steps are included before an evaluation begins. A free estimate does not establish that diagnostic testing, disassembly, or every inspection is free; confirm any charges with Stowe's Collision first.

Do you repair different vehicle makes and models?

We offer collision repair on all makes and models. Share the year, make, model, and the specific mechanical or body work you need so Stowe's Collision can confirm the job requirements.

Can I bring an insurance estimate?

Yes. Stowe's Collision honors insurance estimates. Bring the claim information and estimate, and ask how insurer approval, supplements, and your share of the cost apply to your repair.

What should I bring when I leave my vehicle?

Bring the keys, a contact number, relevant repair records, and any estimate or claim information. Tell Stowe's Collision about the symptoms or damage, and remove personal valuables before leaving the vehicle.

How long will my repair take?

Timing depends on the damage or diagnosis, parts availability, and the work approved. Ask Stowe's Collision for an expected schedule after evaluation and arrange transportation based on that confirmed timing.

How should I handle additional repair recommendations?

Agree on the initial work and the best way to reach you before leaving the vehicle. Ask Stowe's Collision to explain any additional findings, the proposed work, and the revised estimate before you authorize it.

Which payment methods can I ask about?

We accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express, cash, and checks. Confirm the payment arrangements for your repair, including any insurance-related balance, before pickup.

Is warranty coverage available for collision work?

We advertise a limited warranty on collision work. Ask Stowe's Collision for the written terms that apply to your repair, including covered work, duration, and exclusions, before authorizing service.

Can I ask about towing if my vehicle cannot be driven?

Yes. Towing and wrecker services are available. Call (936) 597-4841 with your location and vehicle condition to confirm availability, arrangements, and charges; do not assume around-the-clock dispatch or a guaranteed arrival time.

Can you help with a check engine light?
