“Is it even worth fixing?”
It is small. But you see it every time you walk to the car.

Sound familiar?
Small damage, real worries.
If you’re reading this page, one of these is probably on your mind.
“I don’t want to file a claim for this.”
A small repair should not touch your premium.
“I worry I’ll be overcharged.”
You want a number in writing that you can compare with two others.
“My golf cart looks shabby.”
It is part of how you get around now, and it deserves a fresh coat.

Went to see Diego for a repair that was not covered by insurance. He allowed me to bring in parts that I had purchased. He painted them and installed them on the vehicle for me. I explained we were paying out of pocket for our rental, so he took it right in and had it done in two weeks. Car looks great! Would highly recommended.

Quick answer
For a dent or scratch in Naples, take three photos (wide, at 45 degrees, and close with a coin for scale) and ask for a written estimate you can compare. Small repairs often make sense without a claim. Diego’s Auto Body on Domestic Ave also paints golf carts. Ask for the estimate in writing.
Planning guide
A calm guide to small dents, scrapes and golf carts
Should I file a claim for a small dent?
For small damage, many drivers pay out of pocket instead, so a minor repair does not count against them. The way to decide is simple: get a written estimate first, compare it with your deductible, and then call your agent with a real number in hand. You are not committing to anything by asking.
The three photos that matter
A good first look needs three pictures. A wide shot of the whole side shows the panel and what is around it. A shot from about 45 degrees shows the shape of the dent, because flat-on photos hide depth. A close-up with a coin or key beside it shows the size. Daylight is best, out of direct sun. That is all it takes to start.
How to compare estimates fairly
Put the estimates side by side and look at what each one actually includes. Is the panel repaired or replaced? Is paint blended into the next panel so it matches? Are trim pieces removed or taped over? The cheapest number is not always the same job. A written, itemized estimate lets you compare like with like.
Golf-cart paint
Golf carts live outside and fade fast in the Florida sun. A repaint brings back the colour and protects the body. The same care goes in as with a car: clean, sand, mask and spray. Describe your cart on the form and mention any colour you have in mind.
Timing around the season
If you split the year between Naples and somewhere else, plan around your calendar. Ask for the estimate as soon as you notice the damage, and agree on timing that suits your arrival or departure. Call (239) 261-2199 and tell us when you are in town.
