Windshield Damage

What should you do if you have an accident?

  • Stop Immediately and remain calm!
  • Is anyone injured? If yes, call 911!
  • If possible move vehicles off to the side of the road and out of the way of traffic.
  • Collect names, phone numbers, and addresses of parties involved and any potential witnesses.
  • Document make, model, and plates and license numbers of all vehicles involved.
  • Do you have a camera on your cell phone? Take pictures of damages and other pertinent information that may assist with insurance claims.
  • If possible, roughly sketch the scene showing the positions of cars involved.
  • Resist accepting "on the scene" settlements.

  • Familiarize yourself with body shops before you need one.
  • Ask family, friends and co-workers for referrals.
  • Visit prospective shops and ask for a tour.
  • How are you greeted on the phone or at the shop? If you are not completely comfortable, keep looking.
  • Are the technicians I-Car and ASE Certified? Are their credentials prominently displayed?
  • Does the shop accept insurance quotes? If so you should contact the shop before contacting the insurance company.
  • You have the right to use any repair shop you choose. Insurance companies are not allowed to regulate choices.
  • If there is a significant difference between two estimates, verify that both cover the exact same repair.
  • Realize the area you live will most likely dictate labor rates and parts discounts.

Important Facts About Replacement Parts:

OEM - "Original Equipment Manufacture" are made by the vehicle manufacturer or one of its certified suppliers.

Aftermarket - "Non-OEM" are made by various parts manufacturers and are not certified by the vehicle manufacturer. They may meet original factory specifications but are not guaranteed to fit your car.

Used Parts - are taken off other vehicles that have been previously wrecked or otherwise scrapped. On older models, sometimes this is the only option if OEM or aftermarket parts are no longer available.

All repair parts should equal in quality to the original ones installed when your vehicle was built.
