Factory-Certified BMW Collision Repair in Greater Vancouver
Collision damage can affect your BMW’s structural integrity, mechanical systems, electronics and performance, not only its visible body panels. A BMW Certified Collision Repair Centre uses BMW-approved procedures, specialized tools, Original BMW Parts and BMW-standard paintwork refinishing to restore the affected areas of your vehicle.
Streamlined ICBC & Insurance Claims Support
No.1 Collision provides ICBC-accredited collision repair and assists customers with the damage-estimate and repair process. Depending on the collision insurance claim, ICBC may direct the vehicle to an ICBC Repair Network facility or an ICBC claim centre for assessment.
ICBC Damage Estimates
When authorized by ICBC, an ICBC Repair Network facility may prepare the damage estimate and complete the approved repairs. Some claims require an assessment at an ICBC claim centre first.
Direct Billing
ICBC pays most accredited shops directly for the estimated repair work. A deductible or depreciation on certain parts or labour may still apply.
Our Certified BMW Collision Repair Process
A collision repair typically progresses through the following stages, depending on the damage, insurer requirements and BMW repair procedures:
Assessment & Appraisal
The vehicle is inspected, visible damage is documented and an initial repair estimate is prepared.
Claim Authorization
The estimate is reviewed under the applicable ICBC or private insurance claim before authorized repairs begin.
Detailed Repair Planning
The affected areas are examined to identify the repairs required under the approved estimate and applicable BMW procedures.
Certified Repair & Refinishing
Authorized structural, body, component and paintwork repairs are completed using BMW-approved methods and Original BMW Parts.
Final Verification
Completed repairs and applicable vehicle systems are checked against the approved repair plan before delivery.
