What happens after you send a request
You tell us what happened. A person at iDeal Automotive Group will try to reach you. We cannot promise a time, a price or an insurance result.
Here is the whole path, in the order it happens:
- 1. You send the form. We ask for a first name, a phone number and a few words about what happened. Everything else on the form is optional, including a last name, your ZIP code, your car's year, make and model, and a photo.
- 2. We tell you it went through. The page shows a thank-you message. If it could not send, it says so and gives you the phone number instead.
- 3. A person at iDeal Automotive Group will try to reach you at the number you gave, and connect you with one of our body shops. If you chose a shop, we note it.
- 4. What happens next is between you and the shop. We do not quote a price, a repair time or an insurance result here or in that first call.
We cannot say when the call will come. If you would rather talk first, call (917) 672-3726.
