After an Accident — What to Do
Step 1
Call
Contact your insurer and a body shop right away — before moving the car if possible.
Step 2
Photograph
Document all damage from multiple angles, including the other vehicle, plates, and road conditions.
Step 3
Tow
Drive only if safe — a damaged frame or deployed airbag is a tow situation, not a drive-it-in.
Step 4
Insurance
In NY you have the right to choose your own body shop — you are NOT required to use the insurer's preferred list.
Auto body repair in Rochester costs $500–$5,000 depending on damage extent. Insurance billing is common — New York State lets you choose your own shop. Look for I-CAR certified technicians and shops with proven paint-matching expertise. The most-reviewed providers are ranked below by verified customer reviews across Google, Yelp, and the BBB.
