We call you back

A written estimate
The shop inspects the car and gives you an itemized written estimate before any work, as California law requires.

We stay on it
If you want, our property damage claim management covers the rest, with updates until your car is back.
Quote questions.
Prefer to talk? Call 562-800-6904.
Is the repair quote free?
Yes. Requesting a quote through Collision Assistant is free, and so are our body shop recommendation and claim coordination. The shop gives you an itemized written estimate before any work starts, and under California Business and Professions Code Section 9884.9, it cannot charge more than that estimate without your consent.
Do I need an open insurance claim to get a quote?
No. You can request a repair quote with or without an insurance claim, and if you have one, we can pass the claim number to the shop with your OK so it can work with the insurer. If you have not filed yet, read how to file a car insurance claim.
How will Collision Assistant contact me?
A Collision Assistant coordinator reviews each request and contacts you by phone or email, or by text if you agreed to receive text messages. If your car is at a tow yard or your rental is about to end, mention it in the message or call 562-800-6904 so we can start with the most urgent item first.
