Insurance & Estimates
A plain-language look at how a collision claim usually works — and how we help along the way.
How a Collision Claim Usually Works
Every claim and policy is different, but most follow the same basic steps.
01
Report the claim
Contact your insurance company to start a claim, usually with your policy number and the details of what happened.
02
Choose a repair shop
In many cases you can choose where your vehicle is repaired. Check your policy or ask your insurer to confirm your options.
03
Get a free estimate
Bring your vehicle to us for a free, accurate estimate of the repair work it needs.
04
Your insurer reviews it
Your insurance company and adjuster typically review the estimate before approving repairs.
05
We get to work
Once everything's approved, we repair your vehicle and keep you in the loop along the way.
You Don't Have to Figure It Out Alone
Dealing with an insurance claim can be confusing, especially right after an accident. We help explain your estimate, answer your insurer's questions, and work alongside you through the process.
Not using insurance? Estimates are free either way, and you'll know what to expect before any work begins.

What if my insurer and I don't agree on the repair?
Every claim is different, and your policy terms govern how disagreements are handled. We're happy to talk through your estimate and answer any questions you have.
Are estimates free if I'm not using insurance?
Yes. Estimates are free whether you're filing an insurance claim or paying out of pocket. General information only, not legal or insurance advice — your policy terms govern.
