Vehicle Repair Process from Start to Finish

No one plans to wreck their car in an accident, but it occurs more frequently than most people realize. Whether it’s a minor fender bender or a massive collision, you will need to begin the vehicle repair process. Read on to learn about the collision repair process from start to finish.

No matter how minor an accident seems to be, it can have heavy underlying damages that most drivers won’t see. As soon as you determine that everyone involved is okay, don’t forget to exchange your insurance and personal information. Give them all the information necessary, from your insurance card to your contact phone number. You should also take photographs of the conditions of both vehicles. Your claims advisor will more than likely want to compare this to his photos. Get contact information from any other witnesses to support your claim.

If law enforcement comes to the scene of the accident, file a collision report with them, but if damages are minor and there are no injuries, you may file an accident report at the local police station.

Choose a well-known collision repair specialist to take your vehicle to that accepts all types of insurance to make sure you are covered. You can drive your vehicle to the shop or have it towed depending on the current condition. Bring your insurance claim number with you to the collision repair shop.
