Accident Information
Being in an accident can be a frustrating and time consuming experience. At SE Collision Center we will work with you and your schedule to make the process as convenient as possible. Here is some information you should be aware of when you decide to make a claim and take your vehicle to get repaired.
- Filing A Claim
Having SE Collision look at your car before you put your claim in could save you time and money! We all know that filing a claim can put you through a jungle of red tape and possibly result in an increase in your rates. If after inspection we find putting in a claim is necessary, SE Collision can handle the claim process for you. We can pick you up, arrange your tow, call the claim in (we work with all insurance companies), as well as arrange for a rental car. Since 1968, SE Collision has been one of the largest quality collision repair facility in San Diego giving us a unique ability to help guide you through the insurance and repair process.

- Remember Its YOUR Choice
Did you know recent reports show up to 70% of all collision repairs are done improperly? An improper repair can lead to further accidents. For SE Collision, safety is our number one priority. We have the experience to repair your vehicle properly. Fortunately, California Law states the consumer has the right to select where their vehicle is repaired. It is important to get to know the auto repair shop you choose to work with, so choose wisely!
- Insurance Company Recommended Shops
SE Collision has partnered with multiple insurance companies, meaning we have been put on their list as a recommended collision repair shop. Just because we may not be a recommended shop for your insurance company does not mean we cannot repair your vehicle. Remember, California Law states the consumer has the right to decide where their vehicle is repaired. SE Collision chooses to partner with some insurance companies and not others. In addition, if we are not a recommended shop for your insurance company, by no means will your repair cost more at SE Collision. This is guaranteed! By choosing SE Collision, you are given the confidence that your vehicle will be repaired correctly. Our goal is to get you back on the road with the best of care.
