After a crash, your insurance company may recommend one of its “preferred” repair shops. A recommendation doesn’t mean you’re required to use that shop.

You can choose the repair facility you trust and let the insurance company know where you want your vehicle repaired.

Ask questions, compare qualifications and don’t let pressure make the decision for you. You deserve to understand your options before repairs begin.

No warning lights? That doesn’t necessarily mean every system is working correctly.

Modern vehicles rely on cameras, radar and sensors for features like lane-departure warnings and blind-spot monitoring. After a collision, the vehicle may store fault codes without displaying a warning on the dashboard.

A scan can uncover those hidden codes, while vehicle-specific repair procedures determine whether additional inspections, calibrations or function checks are needed.

A quality repair is about more than making your vehicle look right. It’s also about checking the technology working behind the scenes.

An accident may bring someone through our doors, but this is the moment we work toward, pickup day.

After 23 years in collision repair, Gordon’s favorite part is still watching a customer see their vehicle restored. The relief, the smile, and the realization that something damaged can look beautiful again never gets old.

For us, repairing vehicles has always been about more than metal and paint. It’s about helping people put a stressful experience behind them and get back to normal.

When it comes to collision repair, every detail matters. This case illustrates the importance of fully communicating any accident details to ensure comprehensive repairs. At CW Collision, we prioritize safety and transparency, treating every customer like family.

“Sorry, that’s just how the part fits” isn’t something we want to tell a customer.

Some aftermarket parts are made well and fit properly. Others may not align or match the vehicle’s original fit the way an OEM part does. When the gaps and body lines are off, it affects the quality of the finished repair.

As Gordon explains, the goal isn’t simply to get a replacement part onto the vehicle. It’s to complete a repair we can confidently stand behind.

Have questions about the parts listed on your estimate? Ask us. You deserve to understand what is being used on your vehicle and why.

1. Safely photograph everything before anything moves. Both cars, the whole scene, the road, the signals, the skid marks.

2. Call it in. A police report creates a record that exists whether or not anybody's story changes tomorrow.

3. Get safe first. If the car runs and it is drivable, get out of the lane.

4. Get the other driver's insurance and plate. Take a photo of their card and their plate rather than writing it down.

5. Photograph your vehicles interior. Airbags, dash lights, the odometer. That last one matters more than people think when a total loss value gets calculated.

6. Ensure the vehicle is safe to drive before you decide to drive it. If you're unsure, have it towed.

The best time to know this is before an accident happens.

Once everyone is safe, take clear photos of both vehicles, all visible damage, license plates and the overall scene. Be sure to exchange names, contact information, insurance companies and policy numbers before leaving.

Those few minutes of documentation can save you a lot of backtracking later—especially if the other driver becomes difficult to reach.

How long will my vehicle repair take?

It sounds like a simple question, but an honest answer depends on more than the damage you can see.

Once a vehicle is disassembled, additional damage may be discovered. Parts availability, insurance approvals, manufacturer-required repair procedures and necessary calibrations can also affect the timeline. Shawn, our estimator always keeps you up to date with the process.

Our goal isn’t to rush your vehicle through the shop or give you a date we can’t responsibly promise. It’s to complete every necessary step properly and keep you informed along the way.

Save this post and hopefully you never need it.

After an accident, it’s easy to forget details in the moment. If it’s safe to do so, taking a few extra photos can help document the condition of your vehicle, the scene, and important information you may need later.

One photo people often forget is the odometer. If a vehicle is later determined to be a total loss, mileage can be one of the factors used when evaluating its value.

A few minutes spent documenting the scene can make things much easier when questions come up later.

Save this checklist now so you have it if you ever need it.

Before choosing a collision repair shop, here are 5 questions worth asking:

1. Will you repair my vehicle according to the manufacturer’s procedures for my specific make, model, and year?

2. Are your technicians trained and qualified to repair the materials and technology used in my vehicle?

3. Will my vehicle require any ADAS calibrations after the repair, and if so, how will those be handled?

4. What parts are you using, and will they be clearly shown on my estimate? OEM, aftermarket, and recycled parts are three different things.

5. What is your warranty, and what does it cover?

These aren’t rude questions. It’s your family’s car, and you deserve to know how it’s being repaired.
