How Long Does Collision Repair Take at Pinelaki by Damage Type?

Every repair is unique, but here is what our customers typically experience for the most common damage types we see in Cyprus:

Headlight restoration — same-day. Drop off in the morning, collect in the afternoon.
Single small panel respray (fender, door) — 2-3 working days.
Larger panel respray (bumper, hood, roof) — 3-4 working days.
Multi-panel collision repair — 5-7 working days.
Full body respray or colour change — 1-3 weeks, depending on prep work and bodywork required.
Frame straightening combined with multi-panel work — 2-3 weeks.

Insurance assessor visits, parts availability, and any hidden structural damage discovered during teardown can extend these timelines. That's why we give you a written estimate and timeline at drop-off — and call you immediately if anything changes. For an instant indicative timeline based on your photos, use our AI Damage Estimator.

Do You Handle Insurance Claims?

Yes — we handle everything. Pinelaki works with every insurance company in Cyprus. We request the assessor, coordinate the inspection, get approval, and bill the insurance company directly. You just sign a release form when you collect your car. Read our complete Insurance Claims Guide for the full step-by-step process.

What Is Panel Beating and Do You Do It in Cyprus?

Yes — panel beating is exactly what we do at Pinelaki. Panel beating (also called panel work, panelbeating, or coachwork) is the trade of straightening and reshaping bent or dented metal car panels back to their original form before paint. We have been panel beaters in Nicosia, Cyprus since 1991. Whether the damage is a small dent, a creased fender, or full quarter-panel deformation after a collision, our panel beaters reshape the metal first, then prep and repaint with our 6-year paint warranty.

Common Questions About Collision Repair?

How much does collision repair cost in Cyprus?

Costs depend on the damage severity and your car's category (A-E). Minor scratch repairs start from EUR 80, panel respray from EUR 200, and major collision work from EUR 800+. Use our AI Damage Estimator for an instant price, or see our pricing guide.

Will the repair be visible?

No. We use computerized colour matching technology to achieve a perfect, invisible match with your car's original paint. The repaired area will be indistinguishable from the rest of the car.

Can I choose Pinelaki instead of the shop my insurance suggests?

Yes. In Cyprus, you have the legal right to choose your own repairer. Your insurance covers the repair regardless of which licensed shop you choose.

Do you offer a warranty on collision repairs?

Yes — every paint job at Pinelaki comes with an exclusive 6-year warranty. If the paint fails due to our workmanship within 6 years, we fix it at no cost.

Can Pinelaki rush a repair if I need my car back faster?

Often, yes. Rush turnarounds depend on parts availability, the workshop's current schedule, and — for insurance jobs — how quickly the assessor visits. Tell us at drop-off if you need the car back by a specific date and we will tell you straight whether we can hit it. Headlight restoration and single-panel respray are the easiest to rush; structural and frame work cannot be rushed safely without compromising the 6-year warranty.

Why does an insurance repair sometimes take longer than the estimate?

The repair work itself is on us, but two upstream steps add days we don't control: the assessor's visit (typically 2-5 business days after we request it) and parts ordering for any panel that needs replacement. We start prep work the moment your car arrives so the repair is ready to begin the second the assessor approves it.
