Do I need a collision inspection even if the damage looks minor?
Yes. Even minor-looking damage can hide issues behind bumpers or under the vehicle, including alignment problems, sensor damage, or structural concerns. A professional inspection helps ensure your vehicle is safe to drive.
Will my insurance cover summer storm damage?
If you carry comprehensive coverage, your insurance policy may cover damage caused by hail, falling tree limbs, and other weather-related incidents. Our team can help you navigate the claims process and work directly with many insurance providers.
Can I choose my own collision repair shop?
In most cases, yes. Insurance companies may recommend a preferred shop, but you generally have the right to choose where your vehicle is repaired. You can request a collision center you trust.
Do I have to use the insurance company’s recommended body shop?
Usually no. While insurers may suggest network shops, you are often allowed to select your preferred collision repair facility for the repairs.
What is a collision repair supplement?
A supplement is an update to the original repair estimate when additional hidden damage is found after the vehicle is disassembled. Supplements are common and are typically submitted to the insurance company for review and approval.
Can rain and wet roads increase the risk of accidents?
Yes. Spring rain can create slick road conditions, reduce visibility, and increase stopping distances. Hydroplaning is also more common, especially with worn tires.
What should I bring to a collision estimate appointment?
Bring your insurance information and claim number if available, along with any photos or notes from the accident. Mention any warning lights or drivability concerns during the inspection
