In Washington, you have the right to bring your vehicle to any legitimate auto collision shop you choose. Your insurer might give you a list of their preferred shops, but you don’t have to use the body shop that your insurer recommends. We hope to get claims paid quickly and fairly by handling a lot of the details of the insurance claims process. We know how to speak with insurance adjusters to explain damage and repairs that need to be done.

​

No matter how well your car insurance company treats you, the auto collision insurance process can be complex and time-consuming. After 75 years in business, the staff here at Grand Central Collision in Bellingham has learned to speak the lingo of auto insurance companies. We work directly with all auto insurance companies, and we will help handle claims and negotiations for you, helping you get more value from your auto policy and saving you time. Our staff is very familiar with the ins and outs of the claims process, and we are happy to take care of most of the details so you don't have to potentially spend hours negotiating with adjusters, discussing fine details, or filling out a lot of paperwork. 

​

What is the insurance claim process like for a customer of Grand Central Collision? You can simply bring your car to us, let us know your insurance policy details, and relax while we negotiate for your repairs, no matter if this will be paid by your insurance company or that of another driver.  We will keep you updated during every step of the process.

​

As often as possible, we will try to use OEM or manufacturer parts, as these are the highest quality parts that your car’s manufacturer usually recommends. If we can’t use OEM parts, we will use our expertise to find high-quality aftermarket parts for your car. We will spend time negotiating with your insurance company to maximize your insurance benefits. Like you, we want to ensure that insurance companies fund quality parts and service. We all just want to get the job done right. Our restoration work comes with a lifetime warranty, and we take pride in our durable repairs. We know how valuable your automobile is to you, and we want you to enjoy that value for a very long time.
