Had an Accident?

You make one call to your insurance. We handle the rest of it: the photos, the write-up, the adjuster, the supplement when we find more damage, the tow if you need one, and the last walk-around before you get your keys back.
Common Questions
The questions we get asked on the phone every week.
Will you deal with my insurance company for me?expand_more
Once the repair is authorized we deal with your insurance company directly. We write up the damage, talk to the adjuster, file a supplement when we find more, and bill the carrier. You open the claim, and you still owe your deductible plus anything you authorize that insurance does not cover, unless we put something different in writing.
How long does collision repair take?expand_more
It depends on how bad the damage is, how fast parts show up, and what we find once we open the car up. We give you a real timeline after we look at it.
Can you help with my deductible?expand_more
Ask us once your carrier approves the estimate. Whether we can help depends on your coverage, your deductible, and how big the repair is, and anything we agree to goes in writing. The customer remains responsible for the deductible and any authorized non-covered charges unless a separate written assistance arrangement applies.
Is the estimate really free?expand_more
A look-over estimate is free, in person, over the phone, or from photos you send. If we have to pull panels off or run diagnostics to see the real damage, we tell you what that costs and you sign off first.
What warranty do you offer?expand_more
Qualifying paint and bodywork carry a lifetime workmanship warranty for as long as you own the vehicle, under the written terms we hand you with the repair.
Do you serve areas outside Hemet?expand_more
Yes. We serve Hemet, San Jacinto, Green Acres, Homeland, Menifee, Perris, Sun City, Murrieta, Temecula, and surrounding communities. Pickup or delivery may be available in the Hemet area; call to confirm current scheduling.
