Where every claim comes from

Editorial policy

Sources, verification, and honest limits

This page records where the information on this site comes from, what was verified, and what was deliberately left unstated. It is written so a reader, a customer, or a reviewer can check every factual claim against its source. Grand National Collision did not supply, review, or approve this content; it is an independent presentation of a business whose own domain currently publishes no service content.

1. Current business identity - verified

Every identity field on this page was taken from the Grand National Collision Google Business Profile as captured on 2026-09-19. The reading was made through Google's own Maps place endpoint by an open capture utility, and the raw response is retained with the build record. Where this page and an older directory disagree, the 2026-09-19 profile governs.

• Business name: Grand National Collision
• Primary category: Auto body shop
• Address: 2223 Jericho Tpke, New Hyde Park, NY 11040
• Phone: (516) 294-0019
• Coordinates: 40.7400176, -73.6659016 · plus code P8RM+2J New Hyde Park, New York

• Rating at capture: 4.9 stars from 40 Google reviews - shown only as the captured value

The same capture is the authority for the Google Place ID ChIJeX0sWqViwokRTvpLI8yHrbo, the identifier used in the structured data and in the map on the home and contact pages. Public opening hours were not published at capture, so no hours are stated anywhere on this site, and the structured data leaves opening hours empty.

2. The current domain and archive status

The domain grandnationalcollision.com is listed as the website on the Google profile, but at the time of this capture it resolves to a parked page that carries no service content, no pricing, and no company information. The Internet Archive holds a single snapshot of the domain, and that snapshot is itself a redirect to the same parked page. There is therefore no recoverable original website text to quote or summarize, and none is invented here.

Because of that, no service description on this site is presented as if it came from the business. The service and blog pages are general education about collision repair written for this site and bounded by the verified identity and by what the business's own photographs show. Where a claim could not be sourced, it was left out.

3. Third-party directory listing - not confirmed

A third-party directory, Carwise, carries a profile tied to the same address and phone number. It lists free estimates, insurance company assistance, a lifetime warranty, towing, automotive glass replacement, detailing, and paintless dent repair, along with hours of Monday through Friday 8 to 5, Saturday 8 to 1, and Sunday closed, payment by cash and check, and Spanish-language service.

That profile is a directory entry, not the business, and none of it is independently verified here. Its stated hours conflict with Google's silence, which is one reason no hours appear in the structured data or anywhere else on this site. The directory is named for transparency, and its claims are treated as unverified third-party testimony rather than as facts.

4. Image provenance

All ten photographs on the gallery page and throughout this site come from the business's own Google Business Profile listing, captured on 2026-09-19. They are delivered locally under this site's upload path and are never hotlinked from a third-party host. Captions and alternative text describe only what each photograph visibly shows: the storefront and sign at 2223 Jericho Tpke, vehicles with visible collision damage, body panels during repair, a street setting, and a flatbed carrier with a vehicle on the deck.

No image is presented as evidence of a specific completed repair, a before-and-after result, a named employee, or a service outcome, because the listing alone does not establish any of that.

5. Deliberately not asserted

• Current opening hours (the Google profile publishes none)
• Prices, estimates, or package names
• Warranty, guarantee, or lifetime coverage terms
• Repair turnaround times
• Owner, staff, or technician names
• Years in business, certifications, licenses, or awards
• Review quotations or testimonials, and any review statement beyond the captured rating and count
• Any business history drawn from an older or unrelated source

Where the public record is silent, this page and the rest of the site say so rather than filling the gap. The rating is reported only as the value captured on 2026-09-19, and no review text is reproduced.

6. Corrections

If any statement here is out of date or inaccurate - a changed phone number, a new address, published hours, or a corrected service description - the correction should come through Grand National Collision at (516) 294-0019 so the live business remains the source of truth. This is a static site and does not update itself.
