Questions & Answers
What is the Customer Consultation?

Our Customer Consultation is a two-part, hands-on review of your vehicle before repairs begin. It starts with a detailed walkaround to document damage, pre-existing issues, and your specific concerns, followed by an in-depth discussion. During this step, we outline a preliminary repair plan, discuss potential hidden damages, confirm scheduling, and address any special requests.

How can I complete the post-repair survey?

After receiving a survey link via text, just follow the link to submit your feedback. If you no longer want reminders, reply “STOP” to our messages.

My vehicle must be towed, can you help?

Ron's Tow Truck Services - Somerset PA

 

Ron’s Collision Center can provide safe, reliable towing services during regular business hours. Unfortunately at this time we do not offer 24-hour towing. So if you experience an emergency and your vehicle must be towed after business hours, please contact a local 24-hour towing company and request they deliver your vehicle to Ron’s. We have a secure key drop, and nearly all local companies are familiar with this process.

 

I need a rental car, can you help?

Can I drop off my vehicle after hours?

Drop Boxes at Ron's Collision Center

Yes, Ron’s has secure drop boxes for after-hours or weekend vehicle drop-offs. Simply lift the container box and take an envelope. Write your contact info as requested on the envelope, then place your keys in the envelope, seal and deposit the envelope in the safe. That’s all there is to it. Thanks!

What about my deductible?

Review Your Insurance Deductible Amount

 

Deductibles are negotiated with your insurance company either at the time you purchase your insurance or during a review of your policy. Ron’s recommends you meet with your insurance agent each year, or when your needs change, such as perhaps when you might add a new driver to  your auto policy. Your deductible amount and any other customer-pay charges are payable to Ron’s Collision Center at the time of vehicle pick-up.

What forms of payment do you accept?

Credits Cards, Cash, Check Payments Accepted

At Ron’s Collision Center, we accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover, cash and personal checks.

Why do I need to fill out information forms?

FAQ Ron's Preliminary Info Form

At Ron’s Collision Center our customers usually come to us after an accident of some kind. They have suffered a mishap, sometimes very serious, and often they see us as part of their unfortunate event. But at Ron’s we see ourselves as the good guys, dedicated to undoing damage and restoring vehicles to like-new condition. We strive to do this as quickly and efficiently as possible.

We know it can be bothersome to gather information, but it must be done. We have found that gathering all necessary information immediately at the very beginning of the repair process, helps to make everything flow faster. Delays can be eliminated. Often repairs can be completed sooner.

Every customer is different. The preliminary information you provide helps us to understand your unique situation. It allows us to offer best case options for you and your vehicle.  Thank you for helping us by providing your information. Our goal is to exceed your expectations.

P.S.  At no time will we share any information with your insurance company or any other third party company without your expressed permission.

I know the length of time my vehicle is in the shop depends on the size of the repair, but what else can contribute to the time I’m without my vehicle?

At Ron’s Collision Center we have over 35 years of experience handling collision claims. Through this, we’ve developed a list of things that often extend the time a vehicle is in our shop. Starting at the very beginning of the repair process, these may include:

  • Waiting on customer information
  • Waiting on customer signed authorizations’
  • Waiting on customer decisions pertaining to vehicle repair
  • Waiting on insurance information
  • Waiting on insurance approval
  • Waiting on parts or back ordered parts
How does Ron’s try to overcome obstacles that might contribute to lengthy repairs?

At Ron’s, we’re committed to eliminating unexpected pauses in the progress of a repair. We’ve drawn on a combination of industry consultants and our own history to build a solid repair process.

We’ve learned that if we can start each repair with all the necessary vehicle insurance/payment information in place, and at the same time, if we can meticulously detail every single part that will be needed, and every step required throughout the repair process, we will dramatically increase likelihood of a speedy and successful repair. At Ron’s we strive to deliver high quality, reliable service to every customer.
