Prepare step by step
- Do not drive a vehicle you believe may be unsafe; use emergency or towing help as needed.
- Request written estimates that separate visible damage, diagnosis, parts, labor and calibration.
- Ask the repairer and insurer separate questions about process, payment and responsibility.
- Confirm warranties, final documentation and safe completion directly.
General safety, records and service preparation only; no repair diagnosis, valuation, insurance coverage, legal or purchase recommendation.
