Have the insurer’s name, claim number and claim representative details ready. If you have not received an estimate or assignment yet, ask the insurer what it needs before the shop can prepare an estimate.
For Progressive claims at this shop, Progressive prepares the initial estimate, often from photos when the claim is eligible. For State Farm, Farmers, Nationwide and Allstate claims, the shop needs the correct claim workfile or assignment before writing its estimate. Call before booking so we can help with the next step.
Estimates are in person. Bring the vehicle if it is safe to drive, along with any insurer estimate, claim instructions and photos requested by the carrier. Photos can help start a conversation, but they do not replace the shop’s inspection.
A completed estimate does not reserve a repair date. Your signed authorization, insurer review, parts and the repair schedule all affect when the vehicle can be dropped off and work can begin.
Contact the insurer handling the loss first, then call Kulavic’s with the claim details. The insurer may prepare an initial estimate or send a workfile assignment that the shop needs before writing its estimate.
Some insurers offer photo estimates for eligible claims. Kulavic’s estimates are in person so the team can inspect the vehicle. Call with your insurer’s instructions to find out whether another shop visit is needed after its estimate.
Call the handling insurer about the claim and towing instructions, then contact Kulavic’s before arranging transport. Tell us where the vehicle is and share your claim number so the office can discuss next steps.
