| >>WHERE
DO I GET A CLAIM NUMBER? |
Claim
numbers are issued by your insurance company at the time you
report your accident. Just jot it down and bring it with you
when you come to International
to begin the repair process and will do the rest.
|
| >>IF
MY VEHICLE'S FRAME IS DAMAGED IS IT A TOTAL LOSS? |
Generally
no. When reviewing the damages to your vehicle our primary
concern is to ensure that the structural integrity of the
vehicle is intact. If the structural integrity of the vehicle
is intact, then only when the cost of repair exceeds the appraised
value of the vehicle that will be considered as a total loss.

YOU MATCH THE PAINT COLOR? |
Today's
modern factory-finishes incorporate multiple layers of highly
specialized paints. International

take special pride in our ability to match factory finishes
as the final step in the restoration process.
