Collision Repair

FAQ's

1: Do I have to take my car to the shop with the cheapest estimate?

No. Classic Auto Body and Service Center will work with your insurance company. Make sure you work with a collision center that does quality work, not just the least expensive option.

2: Where do I get a claim number?

Your insurance company will issue you a claim number at the time you report your accident. Make sure you bring it in with you when you come in to begin the repair process, and our collision team will do the rest.

3: How do I know if my car is determined to be a total loss?

A car is a total loss only when the price of repairs exceeds the insurance company's determined value of your vehicle.

4: How long will the repairs to my vehicle take?

This depends on the amount of work needed on your vehicle. You will be given an estimate of the time it will take to complete the repairs to your vehicle when the estimate is completed. You can check with your advisor for the specifics once your vehicle is being worked on.

5: Should I drive my car after an accident?

This really depends on damage to your vehicle. If you have any lights out, your car doesn't feel "quite right", parts are rubbing on tires, or your car is unsafe to drive, give us a call and we can arrange towing.
