Auto Body Shop in Edmonton, AB

Accidents happen. In fact, automotive collisions, on average, happen every 60 seconds. There is little you can do to prepare for these, as they often happen without any notice. What you can do, though, is make sure you know what to do if there is an accident, and where you can take your vehicle after the fact to get fixed up. Sherwood Nissan and Londonderry Collision work together to make sure you are aware of what you need to do in the event of an accident, and will perform any repairs when needed. Getting in a car accident is scary, so we want to take the burden that comes with it away by making the post-accident process easier. 

In the Event of a Car Accident

It is essential to know what to do when you have been in a car accident so that everyone remains as safe as possible. The first thing you should do is remain calm and make sure that everyone in your vehicle is safe. Turn on your hazard lights before getting out of the vehicle to survey the scene. If you are in a place where you could be hit by another vehicle, try to move your car to the breakdown lane or side of the road. 

Call 911 to get a police report started, as well as alerting EMTs in case anyone from the accident is injured. Exchange contact, license and insurance information with other drivers involved in the collision, as well as that of any witnesses still on the scene. Take photos of the road conditions and damage sustained to your vehicle and other cars involved to provide to the police as well as your insurance company. All of these steps are important, but the most important is to ensure that everyone is safe and getting whatever medical attention they need. 

Full Automotive Collision Repair Services

Once the accident, reports, and medical attention are complete, you will need to have your vehicle repaired. Whether your vehicle was involved in a major collision, a minor fender bender or you sustained a minor dent on the door, Sherwood Nissan can be your go-to body shop. A full inspection will be performed to determine the degree of damage sustained, even in areas you may not think would have been affected due to how the parts of the car are connected. Our technicians will write up an estimate covering the parts and labor involved in the full repair and send it to your insurance company for approval. And do not worry, work will not begin on the repair until the estimate is approved by your automotive insurance. 

Once we have the approval, genuine, OEM Nissan parts will be ordered and the repair itself will be scheduled. Body repair work can include repairs to the frame and unibody, restoring bumpers and headlights, repairing rust, scratches and dents and replacing windshields, wheels and tires. The work performed will return your vehicle to pre-accident condition as dictated by your insurance company. If you require a rental to drive until your car is repaired, we will help you secure one of those as well. Accidents are stressful, so we want you to focus on relaxing. We will take care of your vehicle and you can rest assured that it is in good hands.
