Q: What Do I Do When I’m in a Car Accident?
A: First, get in touch with Precision Towing if not drivable. You should first check yourself and any passengers for injuries. If anyone is injured or worried they might be, call for medical assistance immediately. If everyone is okay, move your vehicles out of the way of traffic if possible and turn on your hazard lights. Then, get in touch with your insurance company to report the accident and start the claims process. If your damage is minor, some simple roadside assistance may be all you need to get back on the road. If your vehicle is totaled or has major damage, we at Precision Auto Body can come to you and provide a tow to our state-of-the-art facility.
Q: How Do I Choose an Auto Body Repair Shop?
A: If your vehicle is totaled or has major damage, you will need to choose an auto body repair shop. You should always ask your insurance company for recommendations. Once you have a few options, do your research. Make sure the shop is certified by your vehicle’s manufacturer and has a good reputation. You can also check online reviews. At Precision Auto Body, we are proud to be a certified repair facility for all major manufacturers. We work with all insurance companies to ensure a seamless repair process for our customers that will not void your warranty or break the bank.
Q: How Does the Auto Collision Process Work?
A: After you have chosen a repair shop, the process is fairly simple. The shop will give you an estimate of the repairs needed, and insurance will cover the cost minus your deductible. If you have more questions about your estimate or the repair process, our team at Precision Auto Body is always happy to help. We work directly with you and your insurance company to get your vehicle back to pre-accident condition as fast as possible.
Q: How Much Do Repairs Cost?
A: The cost of repairs depends on the severity of the damage. The more damage there is, the more expensive the repairs will be. However, most insurance companies will cover the cost of repairs minus your deductible. Typically, a pricing structure is set up to charge for the cost of the parts plus the labor to install them. The only way to get a true total estimate of the cost of repairs is to bring your vehicle for assessment to a repair shop.
Q: How Does the Deductible Work?
A: A deductible is the total amount of money you have to pay before your insurance company will start paying for repairs. For example, if your deductible is $500 and the repairs will cost $1,000, you will have to pay the first $500. Your insurance company will cover the rest. This type of arrangement exists to encourage people to be more careful with their vehicles and to avoid filing small claims that would increase rates for everyone. However, it’s a helpful safety net to have in case of an accident where you won’t have to pay for everything out of pocket.
