You do not have to use the insurance company's preferred shop.

Your insurance company may recommend a preferred shop. You can choose a shop that puts you, your vehicle, and the repair first.

An insurance company's preferred shop cares about the insurance company. We care about you. They work to keep the insurance company happy. We work to keep our customers happy.

We handle claims from GEICO, State Farm, Progressive, Mercury, AAA and all other insurances.

What happens next

  1. Contact us

    If you have not opened the claim, we can explain how to report it. If it is already open, tell the insurance company you chose AZ Auto Collision Center.

  2. We inspect the damage

    We inspect the vehicle, document the damage, and write the repair estimate for the claim.

  3. We work with the adjuster

    We send the repair estimate and damage documentation to the adjuster and respond to questions about the repair.

  4. We repair the vehicle

    We complete the body, structural, paint, and related work. If we find additional damage during disassembly, we document it and submit a supplement. When required, we calibrate affected advanced driver-assistance systems.

  5. We check the work

    Before pickup, we check panel fit, paint finish, and affected systems. The work is backed by our limited lifetime warranty on paint and bodywork.

Parts, timing, and getting around

Parts and repair plan

OEM parts are available. When insurance is paying, coverage depends on the policy and claim. We explain the available parts and repair options before anything is ordered.

Cost and timing

Damage, parts availability, required procedures, and claim review can change cost or timing. After inspection, we can provide an expected repair schedule.

Getting here and getting around

Ask us about towing, vehicle pickup and delivery, and rental or loaner options. Available options depend on the vehicle's condition, location, and our schedule; insurance coverage varies by policy and claim.

What customers say

Insurance claim repair questions

Can I come in before I open an insurance claim?

Yes. You can bring the vehicle to us before or after you open the claim. If you have not filed yet, we can explain how to report it and what information the insurance company may ask for.

Will you work directly with my insurance company?

Yes. We send the repair estimate and damage documentation to the adjuster, answer questions about the repair, and submit supplements when additional work is needed. The insurance company still decides what the policy and claim cover.

What is a supplement in a collision claim?

A supplement updates the repair estimate when inspection or disassembly reveals damage or required work that the first estimate missed. We document the change and send it to the adjuster for claim review.

Can the insurance company make me use its preferred shop?

No. California law lets you choose the repair shop. The insurance company may recommend a preferred shop, but the choice remains yours.

What warranty comes with an insurance claim repair?

Our limited lifetime warranty on paint and bodywork covers workmanship on the bodywork, and paint against peeling, bubbling, and cracking, for as long as you own the vehicle. It is non-transferable. It does not cover parts under a manufacturer's warranty, rust from unrepaired damage, damage from later accidents, or normal wear.
