Questions

What people ask us

Do I have to use the shop my insurance company recommends?

California law generally allows you to select the repair shop. Ask your insurer to explain how the policy, deductible, estimate, and coverage apply before you authorize repairs.

What should I bring from my insurer?

Bring the claim number, adjuster contact, insurer estimate, and any coverage or parts information you received.

What about rental-car coverage?

Rental availability and payment depend on the applicable policy or claim. Confirm limits, provider, and authorization with the insurer.

Do I still pay my deductible?

If your claim carries a deductible, it is set by your policy and is may apply when you use your own collision coverage. Ask the insurer to confirm the amount, when it is due, and whether a third-party claim changes it.

How long do repairs take?

Timing depends on the damage, authorization, parts availability, repair stages, and any outside-provider work. Ask for a written timeline after inspection and confirm how updates will be provided.

Will my insurance pay if I choose my own body shop?

Coverage and payment depend on the policy, damage, and insurer estimate. Ask the insurer to explain any difference before authorization.

Does choosing my own shop raise my deductible or premiums?

Your deductible is set by the policy. Ask the insurer whether any other cost could apply to the proposed repair.

Who confirms rental-car coverage?

The insurer confirms rental authorization, limits, and provider. F1 has not published a confirmed rental partner or program.

What's a supplement?

A supplement is a revised estimate for additional damage found after inspection or disassembly. Ask how it will be documented and submitted.

Check your policy

Rental-car coverage is set by the insurer

If your policy or another driver's claim may include rental coverage, contact the insurer to confirm authorization before reserving a car.

Rental coverage is set by your policy, not by us. It usually has a daily limit and a total cap, and those numbers decide what class of car you get and for how long. Ask the insurer to confirm those numbers.

The shop has not yet confirmed a rental partner or customer program, so no rental arrangement is promised on this website.

Your deductible

Your deductible is set by your policy. You pay it when you pick up the car, and it goes to the shop, not to your insurer.

If another driver was at fault and their insurer accepts liability, there is usually no deductible for you to pay at all. If you go through your own collision coverage first, you pay it and your insurer pursues the other carrier — and you are typically reimbursed if they recover.

What happens next

Start with a call or an estimate request with photos.

  1. Call or send photos

    Tell us what happened and send pictures of the damage to request a preliminary written estimate. Confirm response timing with the shop.

  2. Review insurance information

    Bring the available claim information and ask the shop and insurer to explain the estimate and next steps before repairs begin.

  3. We repair

    The repair plan follows the damage found during inspection, and we explain any additional work before moving forward.

  4. You drive

    Review the completed repair with the shop at pickup and ask any final questions before you leave.

…My car is metallic white, which is a very difficult color to match perfectly — but they absolutely nailed it. The paint match is flawless. It looks completely natural, and you would never be able to tell the car had any damage or repaint done. The finish blends perfectly with the original factory paint. They were extremely professional, very fair with pricing, and most importantly — on time. Everything was completed exactly when they promised. The entire team was friendly, honest, and great to work with. From quality to communication to timing, I'm 100% satisfied. I highly recommend F1 Collision to anyone who wants their car repaired the right way.

Rayan was a great help from start to finish. Brought in my BMW 330i with major damages to the front bumper and front rim. He gave me a great a price for the entire job. He also completed the entire project in less than a week. I would highly recommend him to anyone and everyone. Thank you again Rayan for the amazing work.
