Our Body Shop Pay Your Insurance Deductibles
If you've been in a car accident and need a collision repair estimate in Baltimore, Maryland, AutoPoint Collision Repair can help you understand the damage, estimated repair cost, and your next steps. Whether you are filing an insurance claim, dealing with another driver's insurance company, paying for repairs yourself, or simply want to know how much it will cost to repair your car after an accident, AutoPoint can evaluate your vehicle and prepare a professional collision repair estimate. Accident damage is not always limited to what you can see from the outside. Damage may exist behind bumpers, body panels, lights, suspension components, or other areas, which is why having an experienced collision repair shop evaluate the vehicle is important. AutoPoint can document visible damage, identify areas that may require additional inspection, estimate parts and labor, review an existing insurance estimate, and explain your repair options. If an insurance company is paying for the repair, AutoPoint can also communicate with the adjuster regarding repair-related issues and document supplemental damage discovered during the repair process. Our goal is to make getting an auto body repair estimate after an accident simple and help you move from accident to estimate to repair with less confusion.

The cost depends on the location and severity of the damage, vehicle make and model, required parts, labor, refinishing, structural damage, mechanical damage, and other repair requirements.
What appears to be minor bumper or body damage can sometimes involve components underneath the damaged area. A professional collision estimate provides a much better understanding of the likely repair cost.
Yes. AutoPoint can inspect your damaged vehicle and prepare a collision repair estimate based on the damage that can be identified during the initial evaluation.
If additional hidden accident damage is discovered after disassembly, the repair plan may need to be updated.
Not necessarily. You can have AutoPoint evaluate your vehicle even if you have not yet opened an insurance claim.
If you plan to make an insurance claim, AutoPoint can explain what repair-related information will generally be needed and can work with the insurance company once a claim is established.
Yes. Bring or send us the insurance company's estimate. AutoPoint can compare the estimate with the actual vehicle damage and required repair procedures.
If necessary repair items appear to be missing, we can document the differences and communicate repair-related information to the insurance adjuster.
This can happen because some accident damage may not be visible during the insurance company's initial inspection.
If additional covered accident-related damage is identified during the repair process, AutoPoint can document it and submit a supplemental repair request to the insurer for consideration. The insurance company ultimately determines coverage and approval.
An initial inspection can identify many areas of concern, but some hidden damage may only become visible after damaged components are removed.
For example, a damaged bumper may conceal reinforcement, absorber, sensor, mounting, or structural damage. AutoPoint can update the repair plan when additional accident-related damage is discovered.

This can make the collision repair process easier because AutoPoint can address many technical repair questions directly with the adjuster.
You can ask your insurer about your right to select a repair facility. If you choose AutoPoint, provide the insurance company with our information and tell the adjuster where you would like your vehicle inspected or repaired.

Bring your vehicle when it is safe to drive, along with any insurance estimate or claim information you already have. Helpful information includes your insurance claim number, adjuster's contact information, accident photos, and relevant insurance correspondence.
If the vehicle is unsafe to drive, ask about arranging transportation or towing rather than driving a potentially unsafe vehicle.
We can explain the estimated repairs and discuss your options. If you decide to proceed and insurance is involved, AutoPoint can coordinate repair-related matters with the insurer and begin the repair process after the necessary authorization and approvals.
If additional accident damage is discovered during repairs, we can document it and address the necessary estimate changes.
