1. Contact The California Auto Body Shop

First things first, contact The California Auto Body Shop. Again, The California Auto Body Shop values your time, so before you come into the shop we suggest you give us a quick call, email, or fill out our contact form. We answer all calls during business hours and respond quickly to all email inquiries. If you decide to call us, we ask questions to get a general understanding of the type of damages your car received. We then suggest you come down for further analysis of your vehicle. If you decide to email. Please give us a brief description of the damages, attaching pictures would also be helpful to give a more accurate estimate. For a complete analysis and accurate estimate, please visit our Reseda Collision Repair center at 6933 Reseda Blvd #F Reseda, CA 91335

2. Contact Insurance Company

The next step in the collision repair process is contacting your insurance company. Again, The California Auto Body Shop accepts all insurance claims. We have helped so many people through the insurance route. If this is your first collision, we walk you through this process while you visit The California Auto Body Shop (step 1). We recommend you call insurance companies second because they don't give you an in-depth analysis of your vehicle damages. Many of the insurance representatives only check outer vehicle damages. Our Reseda Body Shop specializes in frame and unibody repair (internal damages). Checking your frame and unibody is very important because overseeing these damages can lead to more problems down the line. Come visit our collision repair center so we can determine an accurate estimate of your vehicle damages you can then send your insurance company.

3. Inspect and Order Parts

After all insurance claims are situated, our collision repair experts will order the parts needed to give you quality repairs. Our collision repair shop has established strong connections with several vendors and is always able to find you the needed parts at the best price. Typically, the necessary parts needed arrive within 1-2 business days, sometimes even the same day if you place an order early morning. We don't just sit around while the parts arrive. We begin the paint matching and disassembly so by the time parts arrive we just need to put the parts together. We do everything in our capacity to get your car back to you as early as possible, with the upmost accuracy.

4. Drop Off Car

People typically drop cars off the same day our repair technicians order the car parts. In many cases the insurance companies will pay for a car rental. If you are not sure if your insurance company offers this, please be sure to give them a call to ask. Preferably get that situated in step 2 when you contact the insurance company reporting your accident. This will make dropping your car off at The California Auto Body Shop easier and less hassle for you during the collision repair process.

5. Repairs begin

Once your car is dropped off we begin repairs. If at any moment we encounter any issues we will contact you. Otherwise we will communicate with you when the car is finished. A frequently asked question for collision repair:
