Free AI damage estimate
Know what your repair may cost before you call
Take a few pictures of your vehicle and let our AI estimate the damage. We inspect the photos and match genuine OEM parts for your make and model. We’ll provide you with a preliminary estimate of real labor rates in approximately a minute.
Upload photos, get an answer
AI vision inspects up to six photos from your camera roll to tell what actually got hit, so the estimate reflects your actual damage rather than an average estimate.
Priced for your specific vehicle
We match OEM parts based on your year, make, and model and estimate labor costs for the repair.
Ready in about a minute
Instead of waiting for a quote, walk into your appointment already knowing the estimated price range.
Independently verified
What our certification process actually covers
Every shop Assurity recommends is independently validated using the four pillars of a safe repair: people, methods, materials, and machines. This helps you know what an individual shop is equipped to do before they start your repair.
Answers
Frequently asked questions
We answer drivers’ questions about finding a certified collision repair shop, scheduling an appointment, and understanding what certification really looks like.
What is an Assurity Certified collision repair shop?
An Assurity Certified collision repair shop has been independently verified using our 4Ms:
- People (trained technicians)
- Methods (factory repair procedures)
- Materials (genuine OEM parts)
- Machines (calibrated equipment and appropriate tools)
How do I find a certified collision repair shop near me?
Type your location into the search bar or put in your zip code to find collision repair shops near you. We rank results by distance and clearly label them with each shop’s Assurity status.
Is the locator free to use?
Yes. Searching for Assurity Certified shops and requesting an appointment through the shop locator is free for drivers.
Can I request an appointment online?
Yes. Select a participating collision repair shop from the search results and submit your appointment request online. The shop will follow up with you to confirm the date and time. Note that the request itself isn’t a confirmed booking.
Can I get a repair estimate online?
Yes. Pick a repair facility from your search results and choose the Instant Estimator. Upload photos of the damage and your vehicle details, and in about a minute you’ll receive a free preliminary estimate. A collision repair shop confirms the plan for a repair and final price after conducting an in-person inspection.
Is an auto body shop the same as a collision repair shop?
Yes. Auto body shop, collision repair shop, body shop, and collision center are different names for the same kind of business: one that repairs vehicles after an accident. Whichever name a shop may use, what matters is whether it has the trained technicians, parts, equipment, and procedures to correctly repair your vehicle.
What is the difference between certified and pre-qualified shops?
Assurity Certified shops have completed the independent verification process that gauges their collision repair capability. Pre-Qualified shops meet the locator’s criteria but aren’t currently Assurity Certified. We label each shop’s status clearly in the results.
Why do genuine OEM parts and factory repair procedures matter?
Modern vehicles rely on engineered safety systems and advanced materials. Genuine OEM parts and manufacturer-approved repair procedures help restore your vehicle’s original fit, structural integrity, and crash performance. That helps protect you as well as the value of your vehicle.
