Things You'll Need:

  • Auto Insurance
  1. Step 1

    1. After the damage is done, contact your Auto Insurance Company.

  2. Step 2

    2. You will be asked to obtain an estimate from an auto body repair shop or the insurance company will schedule an appointment for an adjuster to determine the extent of damage done to your car—giving you an estimate the insurance company will pay to have your car repaired.

  4. Step 4

    4. VIOLA! Your car should be as good as new—or at least the chicken pox dents should be gone.
