Frequently asked questions

Here at Crashfix, we understand that navigating the collision repair process can be daunting, especially after an accident. To help you, we’ve compiled a list of common questions and answers about our services, the repair process, insurance coverages, and more. Whether you’re looking for information on opening a claim, understanding the importance of OEM certification, or exploring our additional services like in-house rental cars and towing, you’ll find the answers here.

How long will the repair take?
Plus icon

The repair time depends on the extent of the damage and the availability of parts. After the initial inspection, we will provide you with an estimated completion date.

What does it mean to be OEM certified?
Plus icon

Being OEM certified means our technicians have received training from the vehicle manufacturer and we use only original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts and tools for repairs.

Do I have to use the repair shop recommended by my insurance company?
Plus icon

In California, you do not have to use the repair shop recommended by your insurance company. State law protects your right to choose where to get your vehicle repaired. California Insurance Code Section 758.5: This law ensures that insurance companies cannot require you to use a specific shop for repairs. It explicitly states that the insurer must inform you of your right to select any repair shop.
As long as the repair costs are reasonable and related to the claim, your insurance company is obligated to cover them, regardless of the shop you choose.

Is my car safe to drive after collision repair?
Plus icon

Yes, when repaired at an OEM certified collision center, your car is restored to the manufacturer's safety standards, ensuring it is safe to drive.

How do I open a claim for collision repair?
Plus icon

To open a claim, contact your insurance company as soon as possible after the accident. Provide them with all necessary information, including details of the accident, photos of the damage, and any police reports. Your insurance company will guide you through their specific claims process.

What is the process for getting my car repaired at your facility?

Our process involves a thorough inspection of the damage, providing you with a detailed estimate, working with your insurance company to get approval, and then performing the necessary repairs using OEM parts and procedures. We keep you informed throughout the entire process.

Do you provide towing services?
Plus icon

Why is it important to use an OEM certified collision repair center?
Plus icon

Using an OEM certified collision repair center ensures that your vehicle is repaired according to the manufacturer's specifications. This maintains the integrity of your vehicle’s safety systems, performance, and overall value.

Will my insurance cover the cost of OEM parts?
Plus icon

Coverage for OEM parts depends on your insurance policy. Some policies cover OEM parts while others may not. At Crashfix, we prioritize using OEM parts to ensure the highest quality repairs, even if it means working with you on the costs that may not be covered by insurance.

How does collision repair affect my car’s value?
Plus icon

Proper collision repair using OEM parts and procedures can help maintain your car’s value. Poor quality repairs using aftermarket parts may decrease your car’s resale value.

What are the benefits of using OEM parts in repairs?
Plus icon

OEM parts are designed and tested by the vehicle manufacturer for the best fit, function, and safety. They ensure your vehicle performs as intended and help maintain your vehicle’s warranty.
