Whether you have to pay a deductible or not, and the amount of the deductible to be paid is determined by your insurance policy and the details of the accident or incident in question. You should speak to your insurance company for details on your deductible.

The easiest way to find your VIN is to stand outside your vehicle on the driver’s side and look to where the windshield meets the dashboard and top edge of the hood. There should be a plate on the dash and under the windshield that shows your VIN. If you cannot find the VIN here, you can also find the vehicle identification number by opening the driver’s side door and looking on the door where the door latch hooks to close. If those two methods don’t work out for you, we’d be happy to help you!

At Capital Collision Centre, we use paint products made by Glasurit; a leading brand in the passenger car and commercial vehicle refinishing sector. Glasurit’s processes and products have been found to meet or exceed the rigid requirements for repair paints held by luxury brands like BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche and Audi.

In the first 30 days after your vehicle is returned to its pre-accident condition, we suggest that washing your vehicle by hand with cool water, a mild cleaner and a soft cloth or sponge. Commercial car washes or dry wiping your vehicle within the first 30 days can damage new paint. To minimize the need to wash your vehicle in the first 30 days after repair, avoid parking under trees and utility lines, spilling any fluids on the exterior of your vehicle, and scraping ice/snow from newly-painted surfaces.
