Yes. We handle self-pay bodywork as well as insurance repairs. Bring your Nissan in so we can assess the damaged area and explain the proposed work and price. Tell us if you are comparing the repair cost with your deductible; you do not need to open a claim to request a free preliminary visual estimate.

The free preliminary estimate covers what we can assess visually without disassembly or diagnostic testing. Photos help us understand where the damage is, but cannot show every bracket, attachment or component behind a panel. If a closer inspection requires paid diagnosis or disassembly, we explain the work and charges before you authorize it.

Yes. Nevada law allows an insured or claimant to choose a licensed body shop; an insurer cannot require one licensed shop over another. Tell your adjuster you would like Universal Motorcars to inspect your Nissan and send us the claim details. Shop choice does not guarantee payment for every item: coverage and reasonable repair rates remain subject to the policy. Read Nevada’s repair-shop choice rule.

The first estimate may cover only visible damage. Authorized disassembly can reveal broken mounts, damage behind a bumper or other work that could not be assessed initially. We photograph and document those findings, review the applicable repair information and submit a supplement for the insurer’s review. We explain unresolved items and any amount you may owe before additional work proceeds. See how we support a repair claim.

We prioritize genuine Nissan parts and review the parts specified for your repair. The final plan depends on the damaged component, Nissan’s procedures, availability, insurance coverage and your authorization. Ask us about abbreviations on the estimate: “A/M” means aftermarket, while “LKQ” can describe used or recycled alternatives. We explain any proposed alternatives or coverage differences rather than promising every claim will pay for new OEM parts. Nissan’s guide to parts and estimate terms.

That depends on the damage and Nissan’s repair requirements for that bumper. We assess cracks, mounting points, deformation and the equipment fitted nearby, as well as the finish. A scrape and a broken mounting area can need very different work. We explain why the recommended option fits your vehicle instead of deciding from the size of the mark alone.

Yes. Nissan’s November 2025 position statement requires pre- and post-repair diagnostic scanning for 2008 and newer Nissan vehicles after a collision. A scan checks electronic systems; calibration is a separate procedure required when the affected equipment and repair call for it. Cameras, radar and their mounts need attention even when the visible damage looks small. We review the requirements for your Nissan and include the required operations in the repair plan. Read Nissan’s scanning requirements (PDF) ↗ or learn about scanning and calibration.

We plan refinishing around the existing finish and the area being repaired. The paint code helps identify the color, but the condition of the surrounding finish and the need for blending also matter. We explain which panels need work and why before you approve it. A small scratch may need a different approach from damage through the paint into the panel. Explore paint matching and refinishing.

Call 702-754-6774 before arranging delivery. We can coordinate towing to the correct repair location and authorized impound retrieval. Have the vehicle’s current location and any release information ready. We can also help coordinate a rental where coverage or another arrangement is available; rental eligibility, limits and charges need confirmation before booking.

The damage found during inspection, parts availability, insurer decisions and required checks all affect timing. We discuss the expected schedule and confirm how to reach you when you leave the vehicle. If inspection findings, parts or approvals change that schedule, we explain the reason and the next step. A preliminary estimate is not a guaranteed completion date.
