FAQ

Claim numbers are issued by your insurance company at the time you report your accident. Remember to bring it in with you when you come in to begin the repair process, Complete Collision Center will handle the rest.

DO

• Wash the vehicle by hand with cool water and a very mild car wash solution using a soft cloth or sponge
• Always use clean fresh water
• Wash your vehicle in the shade

DON’T

• Do not use a commercial car wash. Stiff brushes or sponges could mar the finish and damage the surface.
• Do not “dry wipe” your vehicle. Dry wiping can scratch the finish. Chipping the finish is easily done in the first 30 days.
• Avoid parking under trees and utility lines which are likely to attract birds. Bird droppings have a high acid content and will damage a freshly painted surface. Also, tree sap can mar or spot a freshly painted surface.

RECOMMENDATIONS AND PRECAUTIONS IN THE FIRST 90 DAYS

• Do not wax or polish the vehicle. This will allow the finish to dry and harden completely.

Parts that wear out and need replacement with time and use (i.e., tires, batteries, and suspension parts) are commonly subject to betterment charges when they are replaced during the repair process. These betterment charges are determined by your insurance company and are pro-rated based on actual miles on your vehicle.

No. A car is a total loss only when the price of repairs exceeds the insurance company’s determined value of your vehicle. Most cars today are built using unibody construction and don’t have a specific frame. Our highly skilled, certified technicians, with the aid of our state-of-the-art computer measuring system, can restore your vehicle to its original factory specifications. If it is determined that the unibody section is bent beyond repair, that section can be replaced.
