What to know about collision repair
A collision can leave more to sort out than a dent or scraped bumper. Panels may be shifted, a light may be broken, or a warning may appear after impact. IG Auto Group in Van Nuys can assess the damage and discuss repair options based on the vehicle's condition. The shop offers free estimates and confirms repair scope after inspection.
When you contact the shop, share where the vehicle was hit, what looks or feels different, and whether it can be driven safely. Photos can help explain visible damage, but they cannot show every issue underneath a panel. If the vehicle seems unsafe to drive, stop using it and contact a professional for guidance. Call (818) 399-6665 or email igautogroup01@gmail.com to request an estimate.
When this service may help
- A crash has left dents, scrapes, cracked trim, or a damaged bumper.
- A door, hood, trunk, light, or panel no longer appears to sit or close as it did before impact.
- New noises, warning lights, or handling changes appeared after a collision.
- You want a repair estimate before deciding how to proceed with visible damage.
What to expect
Describe the impact
Tell the shop where and how the vehicle was struck, what damage you can see, and whether any symptoms appeared afterward. Bring photos or claim paperwork if they help explain the situation.
Review the estimate
The shop can assess the vehicle and provide a free estimate for the work it can identify. Hidden damage may change the repair scope once the affected area is inspected more closely. Ask what is included and whether further evaluation could involve separate labor.
Confirm the next step
Review the proposed work and any open questions before authorizing repairs. If additional damage is found, ask the shop to explain the revised scope and cost before deciding how to proceed.
Common questions
Can I get an estimate if I only have photos?
Photos are useful for an initial conversation, but they may not reveal damage behind panels or changes that affect how the vehicle functions. Ask the shop whether it needs to see the vehicle to define the estimate.
Does a free estimate include diagnostic labor?
A free estimate does not automatically include diagnostic labor. If symptoms suggest hidden mechanical or electrical damage, ask what evaluation is needed and confirm any cost before authorizing it.
Should I drive the car after a collision?
If you are unsure whether the vehicle is safe, stop driving and contact a professional for advice. Do not rely on appearance alone when steering, braking, lights, or warning indicators have changed.
A good repair starts with a conversation.
