Understanding the Insurance Claim Process
Many vehicle owners are unfamiliar with what happens after an accident.
Step 1: Report the Accident
Contact your insurance company as soon as possible and provide the necessary information regarding the accident.
Step 2: Damage Assessment
An insurance adjuster may inspect the vehicle or review photos to prepare an estimate.
Step 3: Repair Planning
Once the vehicle arrives at our facility, we perform a thorough inspection and develop a repair plan.
Step 4: Supplement Requests
Sometimes hidden damage is discovered after repairs begin. Additional documentation may need to be submitted to the insurance company for approval.
Step 5: Vehicle Repair
Once approvals are received, repairs move through body, paint, structural, mechanical, and quality control stages.
