Questions About Auto Body Paint and Repair Services

Can my auto insurance require me to use a certain shop?
No. Anti-steering law allows you to choose. It's a criminal offense to tell you otherwise. The California Motorist Bill of Rights spells out your right to choose the body shop you prefer.

If you are involved in a vehicle accident that occurred in California, you must report it to DMV if:
  • There was property damage of more than $750 or
  • Anyone was injured (no matter how minor) or Anyone was killed.
  • Each driver must make a report to DMV within 10 days, whether you caused the accident or not and even if the accident occurred on private property.

Mail the completed report form to the address on the form. Get the form.

Who is responsible to pay the auto body shop?

What do I do after an accident?
From the California Highway Patrol:
  1. Attend to medical needs. Call 911, if necessary.
  2. When there are no injuries, move your vehicle out of traffic to the nearest place of safety.
  3. Notify the CHP or police department of the city where the collision occurred.
  4. Exchange driver's license, vehicle registration and insurance information with the other driver(s).
  5. Do not accept or place blame. Your insurance company has people trained to determine who is at fault.
