Built for Correct Repair

Is HBi the Right Body Shop for Your Vehicle?

HBi is built for owners who care about safety, finish quality, documentation, and long-term value—not simply obtaining the lowest possible estimate.

Who This Is For

Porsche, Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren, Bentley, Rolls-Royce, Audi R8, Ford GT, and other specialty-vehicle owners.
Owners who want repairs based on manufacturer procedures and approved materials.
Insurance claims requiring proper documentation, supplements, measurements, and repair justification.
Vehicles with cosmetic, panel, paint, structural, or collision damage.
Owners who care about safety, appearance, drivability, and future resale value.
Clients comfortable investing in a premium, properly documented repair.

Who This Is Not For

Collecting three estimates solely to choose the cheapest shop.
Repairs designed only to satisfy the lowest insurance allowance.
Temporary cosmetic cover-ups or shortcut repair methods.
Owners who prioritize immediate completion over parts availability, preparation, and repair quality.
Used-car-grade paintwork where “close enough” is considered acceptable.

Most HBi OEM-Procedure Exotic Body Repairs fall between $4,000–$25,000+. Final cost depends on the vehicle, damage, teardown findings, structural involvement, parts, materials, paintwork, insurer approval, and required manufacturer procedures.

The HBi Repair Process

How OEM-Procedure Exotic Body Repair Works

Every repair begins with understanding the damage, documenting what the vehicle requires, and building the correct repair plan before major work begins.

Request an Evaluation

Submit the vehicle, damage, insurance information, photos, location, and preferred timing.

Initial Damage Assessment

HBi reviews visible damage, vehicle history, warning lights, drivability, safety concerns, and likely repair requirements.

Teardown & OEM Repair Plan

When necessary, damaged areas are disassembled so hidden damage can be identified and the repair plan can be built from manufacturer procedures.

Insurance Coordination

HBi provides photos, measurements, procedures, documentation, and supplements needed to support the proper repair.

Body, Structural & Paint Repair

Approved repairs are completed using appropriate materials, repair methods, measuring, preparation, refinishing, and blending procedures.

Quality Control & Road Test

Panel fit, paint finish, systems, warning lights, alignment, drivability, and repaired areas are reviewed before delivery.

Appearance Reset & Delivery

The vehicle receives an XPEL-safe wash, interior refresh, delivery photos, final documentation, and coordinated return.

Exotic-Grade Paint & Finish

Color Matching Is More Than Choosing a Paint Code.

Exotic paintwork requires careful preparation, material selection, spray technique, blending, finishing, and final inspection. The goal is not simply to cover the repaired panel—it is to restore a consistent appearance across the car.

HBi evaluates the original finish, adjacent panels, substrate, previous repairs, metallic or pearl orientation, and the correct refinishing procedure before final application.

Color Evaluation

Existing finish, paint variant, repaired areas, and adjacent panels are evaluated before refinishing.

Proper Preparation

Substrate repair, sanding, priming, sealing, masking, and contamination control support the final result.

Blend Planning

Blending is used when appropriate to create a natural transition between repaired and original finishes.

Finish Inspection

Color, texture, gloss, cleanliness, and finish quality are reviewed before reassembly and delivery.

Included With Every Qualifying Repair

More Than Bodywork and Paint

Every repair is managed as a complete process built around documentation, communication, repair quality, and final delivery.

OEM-Procedure Estimate

Repair planning uses manufacturer procedures, approved materials, teardown findings, and documented requirements.

Insurance Coordination

HBi provides photos, measurements, procedures, estimates, supplements, and documentation to support the repair.

Exotic-Grade Paint & Finish

Color matching, blending, preparation, application, and finishing are completed for a high-quality final appearance.

Structural & Safety Evaluation

Frame, unibody, mounting points, suspension relationships, alignment, and structural areas are evaluated when relevant.

Multi-Point Quality Control

Repaired areas, panel fit, finish quality, warning systems, drivability, alignment, and operation are checked.

36-Month / 36,000-Mile Warranty

Qualifying body and paint workmanship is backed by HBi, subject to written warranty terms and exclusions.

Exotic Appearance Reset

An XPEL-safe wash, interior refresh, and final delivery photography help return the vehicle looking complete.

Status Stream Updates

Milestone updates with photos help you understand where the vehicle is in the process without chasing multiple people.

Common Repair Scenarios

The Right Process Depends on the Damage

HBi evaluates each vehicle individually rather than forcing every repair into the same estimate or procedure.

Cosmetic Damage

Minor Cosmetic Correction

Bumper damage, scrapes, chips, surface dents, trim damage, minor impacts, and localized cosmetic concerns.

Damage and substrate inspection
Removal and disassembly when required
Repair or replacement recommendation
Proper preparation and refinishing
Color and finish quality inspection

Even a “small” repair can affect sensors, brackets, hidden mounting points, PPF, trim, paint blend, and future appearance.

Common Exotic Repair

Panel & Paint Damage

Panel & Paint Restoration

Doors, fenders, quarter panels, hoods, decklids, rockers, bumpers, and adjacent-panel refinishing.

Panel repair or replacement planning
OEM joining and corrosion-protection procedures
Color matching and blending
Panel alignment and gap inspection
Reassembly and system verification

Correct panel preparation and refinishing help protect appearance, durability, documentation, and resale presentation.

Collision Damage

Collision Reconstruction

Multi-panel impacts, structural damage, suspension concerns, airbag events, cooling-system damage, and complex collisions.

Teardown and hidden-damage inspection
Structural measuring and repair planning
OEM replacement and joining procedures
Mechanical and electronic system coordination
Alignment, road test, and final QC

Structural and collision repairs affect how the vehicle drives, aligns, manages impact energy, and protects occupants.

Final Assembly & Quality Control Panel alignment, trim, lighting, electronics, warning systems, finish quality, and repaired areas are reviewed before the vehicle is released.

The Repair Is Not Finished When the Paint Dries

Reassembled, Inspected, and Tested as a Complete Vehicle.

A high-quality paint finish means little if the panels do not align correctly, warning lights remain active, trim is damaged, sensors are not calibrated, or the vehicle does not drive as it did before the collision.

HBi completes final assembly and quality control with the entire vehicle in mind—not only the repaired panel.

Panel Fit & Gaps Doors, bumpers, hoods, lights, trim, and adjacent panels are checked.

Finish Quality Color, texture, gloss, cleanliness, and repaired surfaces are inspected.

Systems Verification Warning lights, sensors, cameras, lighting, and affected functions are reviewed.

Road Test When Appropriate Drivability, noise, steering, braking, and alignment concerns are evaluated.

The HBi Body Repair Promise

Clear Standards Before, During, and After the Repair

These promises are designed around the three concerns exotic-car owners fear most: shortcut repairs, visible paint mismatch, and unexpected charges.

OEM Procedure Promise

HBi repairs your vehicle according to the agreed repair plan using applicable manufacturer procedures and approved materials. If we knowingly deviate from that agreed plan without authorization, HBi will correct the affected work at our cost.

Color-Match & Finish Guarantee

If a clear mismatch between the repaired and original finish is visible under normal daylight conditions, notify HBi and we will inspect and correct the qualifying finish concern at no additional charge.

No-Surprise Invoice Promise

Any customer-paid work or out-of-pocket expense that was not approved in writing does not appear on your final invoice. Insurance adjustments and approved supplements are documented as the repair develops.

Workmanship Coverage

36-Month / 36,000-Mile Body & Paint Workmanship Warranty

Qualifying HBi body and paint workmanship is covered for 36 months or 36,000 miles, subject to written warranty terms, maintenance requirements, exclusions, vehicle use, accident damage, environmental exposure, and manufacturer material terms.

Status Stream Updates

You Should Never Have to Wonder What Is Happening With Your Car.

Collision repairs involve teardown, insurer approvals, parts, structural work, preparation, paint, assembly, and quality control. Silence during that process creates unnecessary stress.

HBi provides milestone-based updates from one point of contact, including photographs when appropriate, so you can follow the repair without chasing multiple departments.

Request a Repair Evaluation

Vehicle Arrival & Initial Review

Confirmation that the vehicle has arrived and the initial evaluation has begun.

Teardown & Damage Documentation

Updates on visible and hidden damage, repair planning, and required insurance supplements.

Parts & Approval Status

Communication regarding approvals, ordered parts, backorders, and expected repair sequencing.

Body, Paint & Assembly Milestones

Extremely Limited Availability

HBi Priority Reconstruction

Standard body-shop scheduling may extend several weeks during periods of high demand. For qualifying repairs, HBi may accept a very limited number of Priority Reconstruction projects.

Priority Reconstruction provides accelerated repair coordination and a defined target completion window once the repair plan, insurer approvals, required parts, and vehicle condition are confirmed.

Priority intake and teardown coordination
Priority repair planning and supplement preparation
Dedicated milestone communication
Target completion window after approvals and parts confirmation
Limited to one or two qualifying vehicles at a time

Paid Priority Upgrade

Not Every Repair Qualifies

Priority availability depends on the damage, required parts, structural involvement, insurer response, outside services, paint requirements, and current workshop capacity.

A target window begins only after the full repair plan, approvals, and required parts availability are confirmed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Exotic Body Repair, Insurance & Paintwork

Do I have the right to choose my body shop?

In most cases, the vehicle owner may select the repair facility. Insurance procedures vary, so confirm your policy, claim requirements, and applicable state rules with your insurer.

Will HBi work directly with my insurance company?

HBi provides estimates, photographs, teardown findings, measurements, manufacturer documentation, and supplements. The insurer remains responsible for coverage and payment decisions under your policy.

What if insurance does not initially approve the full repair?

HBi documents why specific procedures, parts, materials, and operations are required. We submit supporting information and help you understand any remaining difference or decision.

Do you use OEM parts?

Parts selection depends on the vehicle, repair plan, availability, insurer approval, owner authorization, safety, and manufacturer requirements. The selected parts are documented before installation.

How long will my repair take?

Time depends on damage, teardown findings, insurance approval, parts availability, structural work, paint preparation, curing, assembly, calibration, and quality control. Complex repairs may take several weeks.

Can HBi pick up a damaged or non-drivable vehicle?

Transportation may be available depending on location, vehicle condition, wheel and suspension damage, ground clearance, safety, and equipment requirements.

Can repaired panels receive new PPF or ceramic coating?

Yes, after the refinished surface has cured for the required period and passes inspection. HBi can coordinate replacement PPF or ceramic protection on qualifying repaired areas.

Do you perform minor bumper and cosmetic repairs?

Yes, when the vehicle and repair fit HBi’s specialty focus. Most accepted body projects fall within the stated $4,000–$25,000+ range.

How is HBi different from a conventional body shop?

HBi focuses on Porsche and specialty vehicles, OEM repair planning, exotic-grade refinishing, documented insurance coordination, milestone communication, and complete-vehicle quality control.

Can I request an estimate using photographs?

Photographs help with initial fit and planning, but they cannot reveal all hidden damage. Final repair planning may require physical inspection, teardown, measuring, scanning, or further diagnosis.
