Next Steps for Your Vehicle
What to Do After an Accident.
Every accident is different, so this is general guidance about the vehicle and the repair, not legal or insurance advice. For legal and reporting questions, talk to the police, your insurance company or an attorney.
2. Document the Damage
Take clear photos of the damage, the vehicle and the scene when it is safe to do so. They help with the estimate and the claim.
3. Contact Your Insurer
Ask your insurance company how to start a claim and what it needs from you. Requirements and timelines vary by insurer and policy.
4. Get the Damage Assessed
Bring the vehicle to us or send photos through our estimate form. We inspect the damage and explain what the repair involves.
5. Get a Written Estimate
A free written estimate you can share with your insurance company, with the repair scope and expected timeline.
6. Repair & Delivery
We repair and refinish the vehicle and inspect it before you pick it up.
