We have several recommendations and precautions for you to keep in mind within the first 30 days. You can see them below.

• Wash the vehicle by hand with cool water and a very mild car wash solution using a soft cloth or sponge.
• Always use clean fresh water.
• Wash your vehicle in the shade.
• Do not use a commercial car wash. Stiff brushes or sponges could mar the finish and damage the surface.
• Do not "dry wipe" your vehicle. Dry wiping can scratch the finish.
• Do not drive on gravel roads. Chipping the finish is easily done in the first 30 days.
• Avoid parking under trees and utility lines, which are likely to attract birds. Bird droppings have a high acid content and will damage a freshly painted surface. Additionally, tree sap can mar or spot a freshly painted surface.
• Do not spill gasoline, oil, antifreeze, transmission fluid, or windshield solvent on the new finish.
• Do not scrape ice or snow from the newly painted surface.

According to ValuePenguin, a financial research firm, over 5 million auto accidents occur each year. With the amount of auto accidents that happen yearly, it's in your best interest to understand how your insurance deductible works. The amount of deductible you'll be responsible for is determined by your insurance policy. If you carry broad collision coverage and aren't at fault, your insurance company will most likely waive your deductible.

Insurance companies determine fault by reviewing your account of the accident when you make the claim and examining the accident report filed with the police department. If you aren't sure about your deductible, you can call your agent. They can tell you whether your insurance company has waived your deductible or you'll be responsible for paying this when you pick up your vehicle. Call today, and we'll be happy to help with your auto collision repair in Slidell, LA or nearby areas.
