    If you’ve been in an accident, it’s important to know how to assess the damage done to your car. Many people are unsure of what to do after they’ve been in a collision, and end up making things worse. In this blog post, we will walk you through the steps that you need to take in order to figure out how much damage has been done. We’ll also provide some tips on how to stay safe and get your car repaired as quickly as possible.

    Assess the damage

    First, it’s important to make sure that you are safe before attempting to assess the damage. Make sure that you don’t have any visible injuries and that no one else has been hurt. If there is any suspicion of injury, call for medical help immediately. Once everyone is accounted for, you can move on to assessing the damage done to your car. Namely, there are apps like a Sullivan PDR Estimator App, for instance, which can be used to evaluate the extent and cost of the damage for each car involved. This app and other similar ones can provide you with a rough estimate of how much it will cost to repair the car. Knowing what to look for can help you determine the extent of the damage, and if any repairs need to be made. In this way, you can be sure to get the right repair work done.

    Look for dents and scratches

    These are usually the most obvious signs of damage, and even if they seem minor, they could indicate more serious underlying issues. Inspect the windows and windshield to make sure there are no visible cracks or chips in the glass. Check for any fluid leaks that may have occurred due to the impact. Finally, check the alignment of the car to see if it’s been pushed out of its original position. If you’re unsure of what to look for, take some pictures of the damage so that you can get a better idea of what needs to be done.

    File an insurance claim

    Once you’ve assessed the damage done to your car, it’s time to file an insurance claim. If there are other parties involved in the accident, make sure that you exchange contact information and get a copy of their driver’s license and insurance card. Your insurance company will then be able to assess the damage, determine who is at fault, and provide you with a repair estimate.

    When dealing with an insurance company, it’s important to be aware of your rights and know what you can expect from the process. It also helps to have a basic understanding of the legalities involved in filing a claim for car repairs.

    Find a reputable mechanic 

    After filing your insurance claim, it’s time to find a trustworthy mechanic to repair any damages to your car. Be sure to do some research beforehand in order to find a mechanic that has good reviews and is known for providing quality service. When you bring your car in, be sure to explain the repairs that are needed, as well as any additional damages that may have occurred due to the accident. A reputable mechanic will be able to make the necessary repairs according to industry standards.

    Check for internal damage

    In some cases, the external damage may not accurately reflect the internal damage done to your car. An experienced mechanic will be able to check for any underlying issues that may have been caused by the accident. If there are any additional repairs that need to be made, the mechanic should inform you of this before commencing with any work.

    In addition, be sure to ask the mechanic for a detailed estimate of the cost of repairs before signing any paperwork. You can get a better idea of what the costs will be and make sure that you are getting the best possible deal. 

    Ask for a warranty

    Finally, make sure that you ask for a warranty on any repairs that are done. This will ensure that any further damage to your car due to the accident is covered. Most reputable mechanics will provide a warranty for their work, so be sure to ask about this before signing off on any repairs. If the mechanic is unwilling to provide a warranty, you may want to consider taking your car to another shop. 

    Over the course of the repair process, you should make sure to keep in contact with your insurance company and mechanic. This will ensure that all parties are informed of any changes or updates to the repair process. With proper communication and a little bit of research, you’ll be able to assess the damage done to your car quickly and efficiently. 

    By following these steps, you can properly assess the damage done to your car and get it repaired quickly and safely. Knowing what to look for, filing an insurance claim, and finding a reputable mechanic can help make the process much easier. With proper care and attention, you can get your car back on the road in no time.

    • The BMW i4 M50 is quite possibly the best EV we have had the pleasure of testing.

It's superbly comfortable but at the simple touch of a button, it switches from tourer to tornado and you find yourself instantly doing speeds you should not be doing.

While not all EVs will have the same refinement or scintillating performance, this was both relaxing and thrilling to drive.

The Gran Coupé is a handsome car with a sense of sleek length and disguises its hatchback as a booted saloon rear end and that M Portimao Blue metallic paint certainly garnered a lot of positive attention.

Compared with the BMW iX it’s less of a show-stopper, but comes with a much more attractive price tag – and while the i4 is still quite the financial investment (R1,6m) we feel it gives you excellent value in return.

Yes, we did have a few charging issues (Eskom) and if you don't have a Wallbox charger at home filling up with petrol is MUCH easier. However, that being said if you’re looking for an outstanding driving experience both on the twisties and on the highway, this is definitely worth considering if you have decided to make the jump to the electric car.

    • Our time has come to an end with the most potent version of Mzansi’s favourite bakkie, the new Toyota Hilux GR-Sport.

The 2.8-litre turbo diesel powerplant has been tweaked to push out 165kW and 550 Nm thanks to an updated ECU which also responsible for the much needed revised mapping of the six-speed auto.

The sporty Hilux gets new monotube shocks as well as stiffer coil springs which make the bakkie a lot more settled at higher speed and provide great feedback on some of the twisty bits. If you don’t have a full load at the back however, you might find it a tad too stiff and rather twitchy for day to day driving. 

Inside you get a load of sporty touches including “carbon fibre” trim pieces but the highlight has to be the race inspired front seats complete with Alcantara inserts and some GR badging on the headrests. 

For the Hilux customers, this is a welcome addition to the range as the exterior and interior aesthetics align very neatly with the GR brand.

Yours from R891,400. Are you picking this or the Legend RS?
