Deductible assistance

Deductible stress?
Relief starts here.

A deductible should never keep your car broken. Talk to us before you assume you can’t afford the repair — there’s almost always a path.

Not at fault? Usually no deductible.

In Ontario, damage you didn’t cause is paid by your own insurance company under DCPD — and most drivers have no DCPD deductible unless they chose one on their policy. We confirm where your claim lands before repairs begin.

Payment plans on deductibles

When you’re at fault, your collision deductible applies. If money is tight, tell us — we set up a payment plan on the deductible instead of letting it delay your repair.

We fight for every dollar

Teardown-first estimates and supplement handling mean your insurance company pays for the full repair — you never cover hidden damage out of pocket.

Honest help only — we’ll never inflate a claim to “bury” a deductible. That’s fraud, and shops that offer it are cutting corners on your car. How deductible help really works →

Not drivable? We help arrange the tow

Call us first. In Ontario, you decide where your vehicle is towed — not the tow operator. We coordinate the truck, receive the car, and handle intake photos when it arrives, even if you cannot be there.

The claim, opened with you

We sit with you and open the claim on the spot, document everything, and meet the adjuster at our shop. Ontario policies expect prompt notice — within about seven days — so starting early keeps your claim clean.

Reporting, sorted out

If anyone was hurt, or the combined damage looks like it could pass $5,000, the collision has to be reported — usually at a Collision Reporting Centre. We walk you through what applies to your situation before anything else happens.

Back on the road in days

Most accident repairs deliver in about 4–9 days once parts arrive, with a rental arranged through your coverage while we work. Your written estimate includes an honest timeline, not a guess.

Reviews

What customers say

The line we hear most: “I couldn’t tell where the damage had been.”

★★★★★

Honestly, I thought my car would never look the same again — but they completely proved me wrong. I couldn’t even tell where the damage had been repaired or repainted. The paint matched perfectly, and the bodywork was flawless.

Obaid S.
★★★★★

My car was in an accident and the entire rear was damaged. They replaced the rear bumper and tailgate, and the paint job was perfect — matched flawlessly. The quality of work exceeded my expectations.

Dewa J.
★★★★★

Very quality service and fair rates. The staff was professional, honest, and kept me updated throughout the whole process. My car looks brand new again.

Abdisalan A.
★★★★★

Absolutely the best auto body shop I’ve ever used. The paint matched perfectly and the car looked brand new again. They handled everything smoothly and finished on time.

Questions about this repair

Straight answers before you commit to anything — and a human on the phone when you want one.

What should I do right after a car accident in Ontario?

Get everyone safe and out of traffic. Exchange licence, plate, and insurance details, and photograph both vehicles and the scene. If anyone is injured or damage looks over $5,000 combined, report it — police at the scene or a Collision Reporting Centre. Then call us at (647) 594-3401 and we take it from there.

Will my insurance rates go up if I file a claim?

It depends on fault. Under Ontario’s Fault Determination Rules you can be 0, 25, 50, 75, or 100 per cent at fault, and a not-at-fault DCPD claim is treated very differently from an at-fault one. We are happy to talk through your situation before you decide anything.

How fast can you look at my car?

Send photos now and a written estimate comes back fast — usually the same day. Walk-ins and drop-offs are welcome Monday to Saturday, 8 AM to 7 PM, with Sunday appointments available.

Photo estimates cover what the camera can see — hidden damage is documented and cleared with you (and your insurance) first. Your info goes to our estimator, never sold or shared.
