Think Before You File an ICBC Claim

For minor damage, an ICBC claim can cost you more in the long run — from higher premiums to reduced car value.
  • Carfax record can reduce your resale value
  • Your deductible may be close to the repair cost
  • You could wait weeks (even up to 2 months) to get an appointment
  • Your insurance premium may increase over time
  • Repairs often take longer due to approvals and inspections
  • The process can involve unnecessary paperwork and delays

Nima is the best. He removed several dents on my car and shined the whole paint. I’m really satisfied with their service and affordable price. In fact, they made a deal to prevent ICBC claim which might hit my insurance.

Great service and great communication at TDB! They were the only shop that I could find who were willing to replace the vent glass on my JDM 2006 MX5. They gave me a fair estimate and didn’t stray from it when the work took slightly longer than expected. I would highly recommend for any glass, body, or detailing needs!

Classic Car Body Repair FAQs – Answers from TDB Auto Body Experts

Got questions about restoring or repairing your classic car? Our expert team at TDB Auto Body in North Vancouver answers the most common questions we hear from classic car owners. From rust repairs to paint matching and full restorations — we’re here to guide you every step of the way.
We begin with a full detailed disassembly, stripping paint to bare metal (removing trim, panels, interior if needed). Next: rust removal or panel fabrication, body straightening, primer/coating, paint, and a careful reassembly and buff — bringing your classic back to life.
It depends on the car’s condition and parts availability. A small job may take weeks, while full restorations can span many months — or even up to a year — especially for rare parts. We keep you updated every step.
We use advanced color-matching technology and premium waterborne/basecoat-clearcoat systems to ensure a seamless, factory-perfect finish.
Absolutely. Our process includes cutting out rust, welding in new panels or patch sections, and applying sealing and protective coatings to stop rust for good.
Yes. We offer a lifetime guarantee on body and paint work (while you own the car), ensuring peace of mind.
You have total control. You can go through insurance or pay privately — we’ll work with either approach and make sure you’re informed and comfortable.
For full restorations we focus on bodywork and paint, but we’re happy to team up with trusted mechanics, or help coordinate mechanical and interior repair work to complete your vehicle.
At TDB Auto Body we specialize in vintage and classic vehicles, though we can also handle modern bodywork. Rest assured, classics get the extra care and expertise they deserve.
Start with a free estimate. We’ll assess your car, ask about your vision, and walk you through the entire process: timeline, pricing, parts, paint options, and warranties. No surprises.
