Where Do I Tow My Car After An Auto Accident?
One of the most stressful aspects of an auto accident is trying to figure out which collision repair shop you should trust with your car. The decision has to be made fairly quickly if you want to get off the side of the road. Yet the decision you make is what determines whether this will be a painless experience or a slow expensive one.
Here at Sky Collision Loganville, we’ve been through this process with customers thousands of times. This is a step by step guide to show you how to determine where to have your car towed after an auto accident.
Step One: Get a Tow
Does your auto insurance company cover a tow after an auto accident? Do you have an alternate service like AAA or Drivers Club? Give them a call to determine how long of a tow you’re going to be covered for. Make sure you know the cost per mile if you go over your covered miles.
Step Two: Get Online Collision Repair Estimates
The best way to avoid towing your car twice. Most insurance companies will only pay to tow you from the scene of the auto accident to a collision repair shop. That means that any additional transport will come out of your pocket. Make sure you have an idea what your repairs will cost before you get there by getting an online estimate from us here in Loganville, as well as from other collision repair shops in your area.
A reputable shop should be willing to give you some sort of estimate, as long as you provide them with accurate information. Many now offer online estimates through various online portals. If you are waiting for a tow truck, the police, or an insurance adjuster, now is an excellent time to begin requesting estimates. Feel free to call us directly if you would like to speak with a collision repair specialist in our Loganville location.
Step Three: Choose A Collision Repair Shop Near You
When you’ve been in an auto accident, it can be tempting to call up anyone who knows anything about cars and ask them for a recommendation. This can be reassuring, but it can quickly get expensive. The cheapest collision repair is not necessarily on your coworker’s side of town.
Instead of seeking recommendations from friends and family, seek a close location for a bargain. The additional miles for towing can add up quickly, and that price must be paid out of pocket. A shorter tow means fewer expenses for you.
