Book excerpt: What happens when you need to get your car fixed after an accident? Since it's not something most people think about until after the fact, there are a lot of misconceptions about how repairs are handled. This guidebook will help demystify collision repair from how your car is assessed to where you can take your car to get it fixed and the insurance evaluation. If you picked up this guidebook because you wrecked your vehicle and you're wondering what to do next or you've wrecked your vehicle, had it repaired, and you're wondering if it was truly repaired correctly and is safe to drive, we wrote this book just for you. Our mission is to ensure that if our customer's vehicle has suffered diminished value as a result of the wreck, that they have the proper documentation to be compensated for the loss of their vehicle in value.
