Frequently Asked Questions
In order to give you our best, we are Appointment Only.
If you ever have an emergency, please give us a call at (408)294-7633.
We do things a little differently at KAB. We do not do estimates and offer Phone Consultations instead.
Reasons we do not do estimates are:
- 90% of the time initial estimates change after disassembly.
- Most of the time insurance companies do not accept our estimate. Instead, the insurance company will provide their own estimate. The insurance estimate will not be accurate or final. It is only an authorized starting point for the repair process. Once we start repairs and complete a disassembly, we can negotiate changes with insurance on your behalf.
The quickest way to acquire an insurance estimate would be through their Photo App. This estimate will NOT be accurate but will be a starting point for repairs.
Once you get the insurance estimate, you can send it to us here.
Our Phone Consultations are appointments where our team reviews the photos of your vehicle then call you to go over:
- Cost Range
- Possible Internal damage
- Repair timeline
- Repair Options (if partial repair is possible)
- Next steps
