I brought my car to Fuller after being hit, and then hitting someone. They did great work!! The outside looks beautiful and they cleaned the inside as well. They took care of everything with my insurance company and their customer service is outstanding!

Questions & Answers

I picked up my vehicle but noticed something wrong after I got home. What should I do?

Fuller's Collision Center | Feb 21, 2022
Fuller's Collision Center | Feb 21, 2022

We do everything in our power to ensure your vehicle is back to pre-accident condition as your vehicle leaves our shop. If you notice anything that doesn’t seem right or experience any problems, please do not hesitate to give us a call or stop back in.

What is a deductible and how do I know if I have to pay one?

Fuller's Collision Center | Feb 21, 2022
Fuller's Collision Center | Feb 21, 2022

If you were not at fault and the repair is going through the other party’s insurance, then you will not have a deductible. A deductible is determined at the purchase of your insurance premium and can range anywhere between $50 and $3,000. If the repair is going through your insurance policy, then the cause of the accident will determine the deductible amount. Ask your insurance company or go through your policy to find out.

I already have an estimate from my insurance company, what do I do next?

Fuller's Collision Center | Feb 21, 2022
Fuller's Collision Center | Feb 21, 2022

If your insurance adjuster already came to look at your vehicle you are able to call and schedule the repairs, you can fax or email us a copy, drop it off, or give us your insurance information and we can attain our own copy of the estimate. We must start the auto body repair process from the original estimate.

Can you help bury my deductible?

Fuller's Collision Center | Feb 21, 2022
Fuller's Collision Center | Feb 21, 2022

No. When you purchased your insurance policy, you signed a contract saying you will pay the first amount of the claim up to your deductible. Repairers should not be asked to hide the deductible. That practice would constitute fraud by both the shop and consumer. The penalties for insurance fraud are severe. If a shop offers to save your deductible, they are absorbing that at your cost. They are not doing the said repairs in order to make up for your deductible. This could lead to unsafe and unsatisfactory repairs which will ultimately cost you at some point.

What are LKQ Parts?

Fuller's Collision Center | Feb 21, 2022
Fuller's Collision Center | Feb 21, 2022

LKQ – (Like Kind & Quality). These parts are more commonly referred to as used parts. These parts generally come from automotive salvage yards. Salvage yards purchase damaged or totaled vehicles, remove the good parts and sell them as LKQ parts. All LKQ parts are inspected for prior damage, rust, and to make sure they are OEM and not Aftermarket.
