The 10 Step Repair Process

ESTIMATE

Preliminary inspections of your vehicle determine the approximate costs and initial estimates for repairs. Supplemental estimates are possible during the disassembly stage as it may reveal hidden damages that can only be seen through this disassembly.

INSURANCE

Authorization from the insurance company is required in order to start vehicle repairs. Please contact your insurance company for additional information and questions.

DISASSEMBLY

In this process, experienced technicians will repair all damaged areas to pre-accident conditions. During this process hidden damages may be revealed. If this is the case, your insurance may require our facility to contact them for an approval for the supplemental estimates before completing the necessary repairs.

STRUCTURAL REPAIR

All damaged areas are repaired using factory approved techniques which restore your vehicle to its pre-accident condition. Genesis frame repair systems are factory authorized for 100% factory accuracy.

COLOR MATCHING

Color matching is accomplished through the use of computerized mixing systems that use paint codes found on your vehicle.

BODY REPAIR

All non-structural repairs are equally done by highly qualified technicians using only factory approved techniques.

PAINT

We’ve installed in our facility 2-State-of-the-Art downdraft paint booths insuring the quality meets or exceeds factory standards. With our detailed paint processes you’re guaranteed the same quality as your original factory finish.

REASSEMBLY

Once the repair and paint processes are complete all of the smaller components that are non structural will be re-installed at this point. This includes interior components, grills, lights, trim, etc. After the vehicle completely re-assembled it moves on to final cleanup/detail.

DETAILING

In the Detailing phase, all traces of repair are carefully removed. In many cases, the professional cleaning process gives your vehicle a sparkling new look.

DELIVERY

All paperwork is explained in detail summarizing your vehicle’s repairs. After all of your questions have been answered you’re then ready to drive off our lot as another satisfied customer.


FAQs


1. WHAT SHOULD I KNOW IF I GET INTO AN ACCIDENT?

At the accident scene, should your vehicle not be safe to drive, call a towing company to assist you with moving the vehicle. If the Police are at the scene, inform them that you would like your vehicle to be repaired at the Ide Collision Center; this will be a savings to your insurance company only having to tow your vehicle once.
If your vehicle is safe to drive, contact the Ide Collision Center @ (585)225-5433. We are open Monday through Friday from 8:00am to 5:30pm.

You should then contact your insurance company and advise them of the damage and the shop you’ve selected for repairs.

Some insurance companies have what is called “drive-in claims service;” it is not mandatory you use this service. Just inform your insurance company where their claims person can see your vehicle.

If the accident is your fault, your insurance company will cover the damage to your vehicle and the other party. If the accident wasn’t your fault the other parties insurance should cover your damages. Try to collect from the other insurance, this will entitle you to a rental vehicle and you won’t have to pay a deductible.


2. WHAT ARE “OEM” PARTS?

OEM stands for “original equipment manufacturer”. These are new parts made by the same Manufacturer who made your vehicle


3. WHAT ARE “AFTERMARKET” PARTS?

Aftermarket (A/M) is used to describe parts that are made by a manufacturer other than the one who originally made your car. Some aftermarket parts carry certification that helps ensure the basic quality of the part. Aftermarket parts are usually less expensive than new OEM, and for some applications may be a better choice than used OEM parts. Some repairers and insurers list these parts as “Quality Replacement Parts.”


4. WHAT ARE “LKQ” PARTS?

LKQ stands for “like, kind and quality.” Most of us are more familiar with the other term for this category which is “Used Parts.” The term LKQ should more precisely define a sub-category of used parts that are just like the ones on your vehicle before the loss.


5. DO I HAVE TO ACCEPT USED PARTS?

Yes/No. Most customer oriented insurance companies will only suggest used parts (LKQ) when there is agreement from all parties; generally used parts are suggested when there needs to be a savings to justify the repairs. The insurance company’s obligation is to restore your vehicle to “pre-loss” condition – no better than it was and no worse. Basically yes you must except used parts if you would like no out of pocket expense. No, you do not have to agree to used parts if you would like to pay the difference from the used to OEM parts.


6. DO I HAVE TO USE THE SHOP MY INSURANCE COMPANY RECOMMENDS OR CAN I TAKE IT TO THE IDE COLLISION CENTER?

You can always take it to the Ide Collision Center. The insurance company cannot tell you where to repair your vehicle. Some insurance people will attempt to convince or STEER you to fix your vehicle at their PREFERRED SHOP; a shop that gives the insurance company special deals. These deals will often come at the vehicle owner’s expense which could compromise safety and the quality of repairs.

Should this happen please contact the Ide Collision Center; our professional claims handlers can guide you through this unfortunate practice


7. DO I HAVE TO GET THREE ESTIMATES?

No, you do not need to get multiple estimates; you only need to notify your insurance representative as to where you will be having your repairs done. Your insurance company will work hand in hand with your choice of shop.

What happens if the insurance company’s estimate is lower than the one I get from the Ide Collision Center?
Insurance companies are generally willing to pay for a proper repair. The insurance company appraiser may include only the most obvious damage in their estimate. At the Ide Collision Center, we try to write as thorough an estimate as possible.

Just bring the insurance estimate in with you and we will go over the differences. If necessary, we’ll notify the insurance company of the changes we need to make. Generally this just takes a phone call and we will bill your insurance company for the supplement at the completion of the repair.


8. WHAT HAPPENS IF MORE DAMAGE IS FOUND?

It can be difficult to see all the damage during the initial inspection finding additional damage is very common. Estimates written without a thorough disassembly of the vehicle often have overlooked or “hidden” damages.

If additional damage is found, it is documented and discussed with you and the insurance company. The insurance company may, or may not, want to come see the damage. These supplemental charges are itemized, authorized and billed along with the rest of the repairs.

If the insurance representative wants to come see the additional damage, the repair process could be delayed from 2 – 5 business days. Be mindful that any additional parts found to be damaged will have to be ordered and that can lead to more delays.


9. WHAT IS A DEDUCTIBLE?

A deductible is a portion of the repair bill that is not covered by your insurance policy. The amount is determined by your insurance policy and is first set when you first purchase your insurance.


10. WHEN AND WHERE DO I PAY MY DEDUCTIBLE?

Your deductible is paid directly to the Ide Collision Center when your repairs are complete. The insurance company pays us for the work performed minus your deductible.


11. IS IT HARD TO MATCH THE COLOR OF MY PAINT?

No, almost all colors can be matched even those that are badly faded. We employ highly skilled paint professionals who are factory trained using state of the art equipment to assure colors are matched to manufacturer’s standards.


12. WHAT ABOUT MY PERSONAL BELONGINGS?

Before dropping off your vehicle, we recommend that you remove your personal belongings or anything of value. Our insurance covers damage to your vehicle as a result of fire, theft, or even employee error, but it only covers the vehicle and its factory installed parts. We do not assume liability for other items that you choose to leave in your vehicle. Our team often removes interior parts to gain access to the damaged area or to protect the interior from damage and need ready access to these areas.
