## HowTos (4)
### What to do at the scene of a collision
Step-by-step guide for what to do immediately after an auto accident in Texas — safety first, then documentation, then claim filing.
1. Check for injuries: Make sure you and any passengers are uninjured. If anyone is hurt, call 911 immediately.
2. Move to safety if possible: If the vehicles can move and traffic is a hazard, pull to the shoulder or out of the lane. Turn on hazards.
3. Call the police: Texas requires reporting any accident with injury or property damage over $1,000. The police report is critical for insurance claims.
4. Exchange information: Get the other driver's name, phone, insurance carrier, policy number, license plate, and driver's license number. Take photos.
5. Document the scene: Photograph all vehicle damage from multiple angles, the position of vehicles, traffic signs, weather conditions, and any visible injuries.
6. Get witness contact info: If anyone witnessed the accident, get their name and phone number for your insurance claim.
7. Notify your insurance: Call your insurance company from the scene if possible. Most have 24/7 claims hotlines.
8. Choose your repair shop: In Texas, YOU choose where your car is repaired — not the insurance company. Call Axis Collision Center at (832) 615-6065 for free towing and a no-obligation estimate.

### How to file an auto insurance claim after a collision
Walkthrough for filing an insurance claim and getting your vehicle repaired correctly with OEM parts when warranted.
1. Gather information: Have ready: police report number, your policy number, the other driver's insurance info, photos of damage, and a list of any injuries.
2. Call your insurance: Call your carrier's claims line. Ask for a claim number. Note the adjuster's name and direct phone.
3. Choose YOUR shop: Insurance may suggest "preferred" shops — but Texas law guarantees your right to choose. Tell them you're using Axis Collision Center.
4. Get the estimate: Bring your vehicle (or have it towed) to Axis. We'll write a detailed estimate and send it to your adjuster directly.
5. Authorize repairs: Once the adjuster approves the estimate (usually 1-3 days), you authorize repairs. Pay your deductible at pickup.
6. OEM vs aftermarket: Discuss with us whether OEM (original manufacturer) or aftermarket parts are appropriate. We advocate for OEM where structurally important.
7. Diminished value claim (optional): If your car lost resale value due to the accident, you may be entitled to a diminished value claim against the at-fault driver's insurance. We can help you assess.
8. Pick up + warranty: When repairs are complete, you pick up your vehicle. All collision work at Axis comes with a lifetime warranty as long as you own the car.

### How to choose a collision repair shop
Six things to check before picking a body shop. The shop you choose determines whether your car is fully repaired or just cosmetically patched.
1. Check certifications: Look for I-CAR Gold Class and ASE-Certified technicians. These mean the shop has invested in proper training.
2. Ask about the warranty: A real lifetime warranty (not a "limited 2-year" buried in fine print) is a sign the shop stands behind its work.
3. Verify the rating: Check Google reviews, BBB, and the shop's star rating. Axis Collision Center has 5.0 stars (9 reviews, 100% recommendation).
4. Check insurance relationships: Shops that work with all major insurers (not just one or two) have more flexibility to advocate for you, the customer.
5. Visit the shop: Walk in. A good shop has a clean lobby, organized work bays, and staff who explain things clearly. Avoid shops that won't let you see the work area.
6. Ask about parts policy: OEM (manufacturer original) parts are usually preferable for structural and safety components. Ask the shop's default policy.

### How to handle a diminished value claim
Even after perfect repair, an accident-history car typically loses 10-30% of its resale value. Texas allows recovery of this loss from the at-fault driver's insurance — but you have to ask.
1. Confirm you're eligible: You must NOT be the at-fault driver. The claim is against the OTHER driver's liability insurance, not your own carrier.
2. Get your repair documentation: Save all repair invoices, parts lists, and the official damage report.
3. Get an independent appraisal: A licensed auto appraiser can quantify the loss in resale value. Cost typically $200-$500. Multiple firms in the Houston area offer this.
4. File the diminished value claim: Send the appraisal + repair documentation to the at-fault driver's insurance carrier with a written demand letter.
5. Negotiate: Insurers often counter with a low offer. If the carrier refuses to pay reasonable diminished value, you can pursue small-claims court (Texas threshold: $20,000).
6. Know the deadline: Texas statute of limitations for property damage claims is 2 years from the accident date. Don't wait.
