Geico policyholders have the absolute right under California law to choose their own repair shop — regardless of what your Geico representative tells you. Accent Collision works directly with Geico adjusters, writes estimates to Geico specifications, and handles all supplements so your repair is completed correctly without delay.
Your Right to Choose Your Body Shop
California Insurance Code Section 758.5 gives you the right to select any licensed auto body repair shop to fix your vehicle after an accident. Your insurance company cannot require you to use a specific shop, and they cannot reduce your claim simply because you chose an independent shop like Accent Collision.
How the Claims Process Works at Accent Collision
- Free estimate: Bring your vehicle to our Canoga Park shop for a free damage assessment. No appointment needed for self-pay; insurance claims preferred by appointment.
- Insurance coordination: We contact your Geico adjuster, submit the estimate, and obtain authorization before any work begins.
- Repair: Our certified technicians restore your vehicle to pre-accident condition using quality parts and factory-matched paint.
- Supplement handling: If additional damage is found during repairs, we document it and submit a supplement to Geico for approval.
- Delivery: We contact you when repairs are complete. Your deductible (if applicable) is collected at pickup.
