Insurance claims

Hit? We take it from here.

An insurance repair should not become your second job. Bring us the car and the claim number — we document the damage, talk to your adjuster, and put the car back together. Body, frame and paint all happen in this building.

How it goes

From the accident to the keys

  1. 1

    Send us photos, or bring the car in

    Text photos of the damage to the shop, or drive it over. Either way you get a free estimate — you do not need to decide anything first.

  2. 2

    Tell us the claim number

    If you have already opened a claim, give us the claim number and your insurer. If you have not, call us before you do — we will tell you what the damage actually involves so you know what you are reporting.

  3. 3

    We deal with the adjuster

    We write up the damage, send the documentation, and talk to the adjuster directly. Supplements — damage found once panels come off — go through us too. You do not have to relay messages between two parties.

  4. 4

    The repair

    Body and frame work, then paint matched to your factory colour, all in this building. Nothing is sent to a second shop, which is usually where claims lose time.

  5. 5

    You pick it up

    You pay your deductible; the rest is settled with the insurer. We will walk the car with you before you take it.

Worth knowing

It is your car and your choice

  • You can choose your own body shop — California law is on your side here
  • Estimates are free, claim or no claim
  • We handle the paperwork and the adjuster conversation
  • Body, frame and paint all happen in one building
  • Supplements are documented and submitted by us

Not sure whether to file a claim at all? Call first. On smaller damage the repair sometimes costs less than what a claim does to your premium — we will give you the number either way.
