How to Get a Car Repair Estimate

File a Claim with the Car Insurance Company

Before you do anything else, make sure that you contact your car insurance company and make a claim. If you and another party collided, make sure that you have their information. The claim should be filed before you get an estimate or schedule any type of repairs. Your insurance agent should be able to walk you through the process.

How Much Damage Does Your Car Have?

You may spot the dents, a shattered windshield, and any other visible signs that your car was involved in an accident. To get an accurate picture of the damage, you’ll need a professional opinion from a service technician. They’ll be able to assess the damage, perform a comprehensive inspection, and note all the repairs that will be needed.

In some cases, the estimate may be a preliminary one. While our skilled technicians will do their best to detect all the damage, some issues may arise during the repairs and rehabilitation. If other issues arise, we’ll be ready to prepare another estimate that can be submitted to the insurance company.

What’s Your Car’s Value?

An insurance adjuster can look at your car and decide if the vehicle suffered from too much damage in the accident. They may even consider the car totaled. It all depends on the extent of the damage.

Meanwhile, if you’re in the stage of getting an estimate from our technicians, you will wonder how much the repairs will cost. Is it worth fixing your car if the repairs cost more than the car?

You can check out the current estimated value of your car by logging on to the Kelley Blue Book® or Edmund’s websites. These reputable sites feature the prices of different makes and models and can show you the current worth of your car. Then you can determine, after receiving the estimate of the repairs, if it’s worth fixing or if it must be put out to pasture.
