If you’ve never been involved in an accident, the collision repair process may seem confusing. At OHS’ Body Shop, serving Kalispell, Whitefish, Columbia Falls, and Polson, MT, their team wants to help get you back on the road quickly.

Below, their team explains the steps you should take when scheduling collision repair for your car:

• Work with Your Insurance Provider: Before scheduling collision repair with your local body shop, you’ll first want to report the incident to your insurance company. They may be able to help cover the cost of the repairs. Even if your insurance company recommends a shop, you’re free to take your car wherever you’re comfortable. Your insurance is required to work with the body shop you choose.
• Schedule an Estimate: Different facilities have varying rates, so you’ll want to shop around before agreeing to work with a shop. With repairs, quality matters and low-ball estimates may be indicative of a shop’s overall quality. The team at OHS’ Body Shop will work to get your car fixed quickly at a price within your budget.
• Make an Appointment: Once you know how much the collision repair will cost, schedule an appointment with the repair shop. If you can’t bring your car in, OHS’ Body Shop will happily tow your vehicle to their service department, so you’ll never have to worry about driving an unsafe vehicle. Once your car is in the shop, the team at OHS’ will keep you up-to-date on the status of your vehicle, so there are no surprises on your bill.

Collisions are never fun, but OHS’ Body Shop will work to get you back on the road in a car that’s as good as new. Visit their website for more information and call 406-752-8202 to schedule an estimate for your repairs today.
