2007 SATURN ION towing

If your vehicle cannot be driven, know where
the towing service is taking it. Get a card
from the tow truck operator or write down the
driver’s name, the service’s name, and the
phone number.
Remove any valuables from your vehicle
before it is towed away. Make sure this
includes your insurance information and
registration if you keep these items in your
vehicle.
Gather the important information you need
from the other driver. Things like name,
address, phone number, driver’s license
number, vehicle license plate, vehicle make,
model and model year, Vehicle Identication
Number (VIN), insurance company and
policy number, and a general description of
the damage to the other vehicle.
If possible, call your insurance company from
the scene of the accident. They will walk you
through the information they need. If they
ask for a police report, phone or go to
the police department headquarters the next
day and you can get a copy of the report for a
nominal fee. In some states/provinces with
“no fault” insurance laws, a report may not be
necessary. This is especially true if there
are no injuries and both vehicles are driveable.
Choose a reputable collision repair facility
for your vehicle. Whether you select a
Saturn retailer or a private collision repair
facility to x the damage, make sure you are
comfortable with them. Remember, you
will have to feel comfortable with their work for
a long time.
Once you have an estimate, read it carefully
and make sure you understand what work
will be performed on your vehicle. If you have
a question, ask for an explanation. Reputable
shops welcome this opportunity.
