WHERE DO I GET A CLAIM NUMBER?
A claim number will be provided by your insurance company at the time you report your accident. If you do not have your claim number for any reason, our team can always help you retrieve it when you come in. If no insurance company is involved in your repairs, you will not have a claim number.
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE?
The length of repair time all depends on the amount of damage to your vehicle, as well as your insurance company and their procedures. Once we inspect your vehicle, we will always include an estimate of how long it will take to complete the work.
HOW WILL I KNOW THE PROGRESS OF MY REPAIR?
During repairs, our team will keep you informed as often as you’d like. If there are any delays or changes in the schedule, we will inform you immediately. Once your car is complete, you will receive a phone call from our team member informing you that the vehicle is ready.
DO I HAVE TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT FOR AN ESTIMATE BEFORE I BRING IN MY VEHICLE?
No. You do not need to make an appointment before bringing in your vehicle (unless your insurance company has requested it). Just stop by, at your convenience, and we’ll take it from there. Or, if you prefer, give us a call at (616) 975-3656 and we will be happy to schedule an appointment.
CAN I PAY FOR MY REPAIR “OUT OF POCKET” AND NOT GO THROUGH INSURANCE?
Yes. Many of our customers have repairs done without going through their insurance. If you are unsure how to proceed, stop by for a free estimate. Most estimates take about 10-15 minutes depending on the amount of damage. At this point, we will provide you with several options and scenarios so you can make an informed decision moving forward.
DO YOU OFFER A TOWING SERVICE?
We can assist with all your towing needs.
DO YOU CLEAN THE VEHICLE AFTER THE REPAIR?
We have multiple full-time detail departments in order to ensure your vehicle is perfect upon pickup. Our team will perform a one hour clean prior to pickup to remove any dirt or dust caused by the repair.
