FAQs
How can I get my vehicle towed?
Check Collision has its own fleet of tow trucks. If your vehicle needs to be towed from a lot, give any one of our offices a call and we will bring the vehicle to our repair facility at no charge to you. Your insurance company will cover any storage and towing fees associated with your claim.
When will my vehicle be finished?
We understand that it is an inconvenience to be without your vehicle. However, due to the nature of collision repair, we are unable to provide you with a realistic completion date until we have had an opportunity to completely and systematically dismantle the damaged area. Carefully inspect every part for damage . Have your insurance company view the damage and approve our repair plan. We will provide a convenience phone call to you within 24 hours of the vehicle going through the first stage to let you know a better idea on the time we will have your vehicle ready.
Can I get extra work done on my vehicle?
Absolutely. Check Collision offers a wide variety of extra services at competitive prices. Just ask your customer service rep when you drop off your vehicle of any extra work you would like performed.
Do I get a warranty?
All of our work (paint, parts and materials) is guaranteed for as long as you own your vehicle. When you pick up your repaired vehicle, you will receive an itemized list of each repair completed. We store all of the information in a file as well as in the computer, so there is no question about what was repaired.
How will I know when my car is finished?
We will contact you when your vehicle is ready to be picked up. You can also use this website to monitor the status of your repair on the main page. Feel free to call or e-mail us if you have questions or concerns.
This information can be found on the FAQ page on our website.

FAQ

What should happen before any paint is sprayed?

The car gets washed, degreased, and stripped of whatever is coming off: handles, lights, badges, trim. Damage gets fixed, the surface gets flattened, primer goes on and is blocked level. Ask to see the car at the primer stage. What it looks like in grey is what it will look like in color.

Is it worth painting a car before selling it?

Rarely for the money. A buyer sees fresh paint and wonders what it covers, and a paint gauge tells them how thick it is. Fixing one scruffy panel is different, and so is a peeling roof, which reads as neglect from the sidewalk. Fix what looks like damage, leave what looks like age.

Do they paint the door jambs and edges too?

Ask, because this is where quotes quietly differ. A full repaint that skips the jambs, the hood underside and the trunk edges leaves the old color visible every time a door opens, and on a color change it looks unfinished forever. Doing them means more disassembly and more hours, and it belongs on the written estimate.

Can I get a paint quote without bringing the car?

[N_FREE] of the 24 shops advertise free estimates, and paint is the job where that still means bringing the car. A painter needs daylight and an angle to see how far the clear coat has gone and whether the old finish will take another coat. Photos only get you a range.
