Assessing Damage

The first step to recovery from damage to your Ram is to assess that damage. If you have insurance coverage that is going to help, it will be important to coordinate between the insurance company and the body shop. 

Obviously, safety is the most important thing. Don’t do anything that could injure you while you are assessing damage. Be sure to take pictures or videos and document the details of the incident that caused the damage. These will be important for filing any claims you might have. 

Assess the functionality of the vehicle. Is this minor damage that won’t affect driving capability? Is the vehicle out of commission until the damage is taken care of? You may need to plan for towing or alternative transportation while you wait for things to get fixed up. 

The body shop will also need to assess the damage. They can check functional issues, assess body damage, and then plan the best way to recover from it. Work closely with a trustworthy service person as you figure out the details here. 

Insurance Cooperation

We are often at the mercy of insurance companies, but you need to stay on top of things. File a claim with your insurance provider and follow their instructions for completion. They typically send an assessor who will determine what happens next. 

They can also work directly with your body shop to coordinate details. Here, we welcome insurance claims and will work closely with your provider to get your Ram taken care of. 

Provide your insurance companies with documentation and photos. Make sure you understand your coverage. Most policies have very specific guidelines, and you might also have a deductible that you will need to cover out of pocket. 

You can typically get a rental vehicle for use while you wait for your Ram to be restored and repaired to its original luster. Work with your body shop or dealership to accommodate this need. 

Choosing a Repair Shop for Your Ram

Once you get the insurance details figured out and a claim filed, you need to choose a repair shop. You may already be familiar with an available shop in your area. If not, we are here and happy to help across Western Michigan and the Great Lakes area.

Not every body shop or dealership collision center is the same. You’re having a Ram truck repaired, so you want to use skilled professionals who are familiar with the Ram brand. They should be Ram-certified technicians for the best results.

Finally, comprehensive services that can cover bodywork as well as mechanical repairs are ideal. Our facility is equipped to handle all aspects of your Ram repair.
