What do I do after the accident?

• Notify the police immediately.
• Do NOT admit liability, or discuss your accident with anyone except the police and your insurance company.
• Write down the names, addresses and license numbers of persons involved along with any witnesses.
• Report the accident to your insurance company as soon as possible.
• Contact the shop of your choice and have them tow the vehicle to the shop if it is undrivable.
• The collision center will assist you with your insurance claim.

 

What I need to know before having my vehicle repaired?

• Never drive a car that could be unsafe because of damages.
• You are not required by law to obtain multiple estimates.
• Your vehicle is one of your largest investments. Have it repaired properly by professionals.
• A professional shop will explain the entire repair process.
• Read and understand your insurance policy. Ask your agent to explain your coverage.
• You have the right to take your vehicle to the shop of your choice. Your insurance company cannot require you to go to a particular shop.
• Differences in repair estimates are common. A lower estimate may not include all the necessary parts and repairs. Ask why the estimates are different.
