Your rights after an accident

You choose the shop, not your insurer

Insurers often steer drivers to a "preferred" shop. In California, the choice is yours.

  • You can take your car to any shop you choose.
  • You don't need three estimates. One is enough.
  • If we find more damage once the car is apart, we send your insurer a supplement. You don't have to settle for the first appraisal.
  • We work with every insurance company and handle the paperwork.
California Insurance Code §758.5 bars insurers from requiring you to use a particular repair shop.

From reviews of our Ceres shop on Carwise. Real words from real customers.

Took my Acura RDX to get fixed from an accident. The work is awesome, their communication and updates are awesome, and the turnaround is great! Thank you Stephanie for the great service!Oscar M.
They took the time to answer my questions thoroughly and kept me informed of the progress. They completely washed the inside and outside of my vehicle. The best autobody experience I've had.Mr. Adventure
Office staff are great. Kept me informed on anything that was happening. They went above and beyond to make sure it was perfect.Mariann W.

Questions

Straight answers

Do I have to use the body shop my insurance company picks?

No. In California you choose the shop, and insurers can't require you to use a particular one (California Insurance Code 758.5). Concept Autobody works with every insurance company.

Do I need three estimates?

No. Nothing requires more than one estimate. Bring the car to either shop or text us photos, and we work the claim with your insurer.

What warranty do you give?

A lifetime warranty on our repairs and paint for as long as you own the vehicle.

How long will my repair take?

It depends on the damage and on parts. Light bumper and panel work often takes a few days; bigger hits take longer. You get a target date at drop-off and can follow progress on your status link.

Can I see how my repair is going?

Yes. Every customer gets a private link to check their repair status online, and our office calls when parts or plans change.
