Frequently Asked Questions About Car Accidents

MT. PLEASANT, Mich.,–– Accidents can be a very scary, and a stressful process to go through afterwards. Once you've scheduled your appointment to get your vehicle repaired, it's best to know what documents and information you need to bring with you when you go in for the appointment. We've compiled a list of frequently asked questions about car accidents and what you'll need when you go in the appointment. We hope this guide will help relieve some of the stress that comes with accidents to prepare you for your appointment!

Frequently Asked Questions About Car Accidents


Q: What should I do if I have an accident?

A: In the event of an accident, it's important that you don't leave the scene of the accident until you're absolutely sure you have all the information you need to file an insurance claim. The most commonly exchanged information between all the drivers involved is the license numbers, vehicle registrations, and insurance numbers of all the parties. You'll also need to call 911 to make sure that police can document a report or provide emergency help, if needed. If you aren't sure about anything, make sure to call the police, because it's better to be safe than sorry!

Q: How do I get a copy of an accident report?

A: If you file for an insurance claim, they will probably ask you for a copy of the Police Accident Report. If you need to obtain this for your claim or for personal use, contact the office of the responding police department and ask for a copy.

Q: Will Graff Mt. Pleasant contact my insurance company, or should I do it myself?

A: It is highly recommended that you contact your insurance company yourself. However, if you would prefer that we contact them, or that we contact them together with you, we would be happy to help. Our Service Staff is more than willing to help you navigate this stressful process.

Q: Where do I get my claim number?

A: When you report your accident to your insurance company, they will provide you with a claim number. Bring it in to our Collision Center and we'll take care of the rest.

Your safety and time are two things that are very important to us at Graff Mt. Pleasant. Because of this, we're dedicated to helping you get through any accident that occurs as quickly and stress-free as possible.

Important Vehicle Maintenance Tips

MT. PLEASANT, Mich.,–– Your vehicle is a very large part of your life. Getting from point A to point B can be a daunting task if it isn't properly cared for. Making sure your car is running properly is extremely important: you can make or break a road trip depending on how well you've been taking care of your vehicle. Keep an eye on your vehicle to make sure it's up to speed with our important vehicle maintenance tips!

Air Conditioning Services



Let's be honest here: Nobody wants to drive in the summer without air conditioning. Sometimes the only cure to a scorching day is a chilly blast of air from your vehicle. Without it, you're left to suffer against the sun. Keeping your A/C system up to date is extremely important, especially if you want to enjoy the warm weather!

Batteries


Important Vehicle Maintenance Tips

If your car is having trouble starting up or the lights are weak and dim when you drive, you may have issues with your car's battery. Make sure you get it or recharged as quickly as possible. Without a strong or working battery, you won't be able to start your engine! It could also be an issue with your cables too, so make sure you get your vehicle in as quickly as possible to ensure it is in good hands!

Cooling System


Important Vehicle Maintenance Tips

Making sure your vehicle's cooling system is up to date should be a huge priority throughout the year. Your coolant (sometimes called antifreeze) helps to regulate the heat of your vehicle in the summer and prevents freezing in the winter. If your engine overheats or freezes, it can sustain serious damage or cause complete engine failure, so keeping an eye on your coolant is extremely important. You should have your coolant changed every 24,000 miles or every 2 years. 

Oil Changes


Important Vehicle Maintenance Tips

Probably the most common example of vehicle maintenance, oil changes should occur within 3,000-5,000 miles of each change. Making sure your oil and filter are replaced regularly will ensure a longer life for your vehicle and a return on your investment. Oil helps to keep your vehicle's components lubricated and assists with regulating heat. The filter helps to remove any harmful components the oil may have, which will help improve your engine's performance.

Tires & Tire Rotations


Important Vehicle Maintenance Tips

Tire maintenance is a very integral part of making sure you're able to get from one place to the next. You can reduce the risk of getting a flat tire by keeping an eye on your tire's tread and making sure they are properly inflated. Getting your tires rotated every 3,000-7,000 miles or every other oil change will help to extend the life of your tires and increase the distance your vehicle can go!

Remaining proactive of any potential dangers is very important in ensuring your vehicle is ready to go for any long hauls. This list of important vehicle tips should keep you prepared for any potential maintenance you may have! Our complete list of routine maintenance is full of tips and tricks to keep your vehicle up to your standards through all four seasons. Schedule an appointment to get your vehicle back on the road in a quick and efficient manner!
