ESTIMATES
Estimates are often misunderstood due to being what some in the trade have called visible damage quotations. An Estimator can only estimate what they can see without further disassembly and testing. Additional damage is often discovered after disassembly. This is not a sales pitch to spike the price. Estimates can be a final price but are often a very good place to start thinking about what to do, insurance or out of pocket?
Send us the following if you would like an estimate:
Reminders: In California, a person requesting body shop services absolutely has the right to their choice of a shop and you only need one estimate for an insurance company or an at-fault party. Insurance companies cannot dictate the choice of shop.
Decide if your vehicle is safe to drive or should be towed:
- Are there fluids leaking?
- Is the steering system damaged?
- Are headlights or taillights broken?
- Are parts falling off?
- Are sharp or jagged edges exposed?
- Are there rubbing noises or vibrations?
- Has there been a loss of tire pressure?
If you have doubt, let us arrange a tow. Most insurance policies cover tow charges to a repair shop of your choice.
