United Coach Works of Malden FAQ's
HOW LONG WILL THE REPAIRS TO MY VEHICLE TAKE?
Your advisor can give you an estimate of the time it will take to
complete the repairs to your vehicle. Be sure to check with your
advisor for the specifics on your vehicle
WHERE DO I GET A CLAIM NUMBER?
Claim numbers are issued by your insurance company at the time you
report your accident. Just jot it down and bring it in with you when you
come in to begin the repair process. We will do the rest.
WILL THE PARTS BE ORDERED BEFORE I DROP OFF MY VEHICLE FOR REPAIR?
Absolutely. We generally order your vehicle's parts at the time that
we write the estimate and schedule your vehicle for drop-off. If your
vehicle is found unsafe to drive, then we will help you arrange for a
rental vehicle as soon as possible. This enables us to provide quicker
turn around time.
IF MY VEHICLE'S FRAME IS DAMAGED, IS IT A TOTAL LOSS?
No. A car is a total loss only when the price of repairs exceeds the
insurance company's determined value of your vehicle. Nowadays, most
cars are built using unibody (frame and body as one) construction. Our
highly skilled technicians, with the aid of our state-of the-art
computer measuring system, can return your vehicle to its original
factory specifications. If it is determined that the frame section is
bent beyond repair, then that section can simply be replaced.
IS THERE A WARRANTY ON THE REPAIRS TO MY VEHICLE?
Yes. We guarantees all repairs with a lifetime warranty.
CAN YOU MATCH THE PAINT COLOR?
Today's modern factory finishes incorporate multiple layers of highly
specialized paints. We have made a major investment in the finest paint
system available and constantly upgrade the technology and equipment to
ensure that each vehicle's paint matches. We take special pride in our
ability to match factory finishes as the final step in the restoration
process.
CAN I GET A RIDE HOME WHEN I DROP OFF MY CAR?
Yes, we would be happy to provide this service to you anywhere locally
or in town. We want each customer's visit to be a positive experience
and will work diligently towards that goal. We also provide a pickup
and delivery service.
HOW CAN I GET A RENTAL CAR?
If you need a rental car, you can check your insurance company's web site for their approved agency and procedures.
DO I HAVE TO PAY A DEDUCTIBLE?
The amount of deductible that you will be responsible for is
determined by your insurance policy. If you carry broad collision and
you were not at fault, then your insurance company most likely will
waive your deductible. Insurance companies determine fault by your
account of the accident when you make the claim, and by reviewing the
accident report filed with the police department. If you aren't sure
about your deductible, you can call your agent and he can tell you
whether your insurance company has waived your deductible or whether you
will be responsible to pay this when you pick up your vehicle.
