At the scene
Five things to do before you leave.
- 01
Check everyone first
Injuries come before cars. Call 911 if anyone is hurt or the road is blocked.
- 02
Move to safety
If the car is drivable, get it out of traffic and switch the hazards on.
- 03
Swap details
Name, phone, insurer and policy number for every driver involved. Photograph their card.
- 04
Photograph everything
Wide shots of both cars, close-ups of the damage, the plates, the street and any debris.
- 05
Get a police report
In Chicago it makes the claim far easier. Note the report number before you leave.
Next 24 hours
Then call us — before the insurer books a shop for you.
You pick the shop
Your insurer can suggest one, but the choice is yours under Illinois law. Tell them you're using C & A.
We write the estimate
Free, written, and in the format your carrier expects — usually the same business day.
We deal with the adjuster
Approvals, supplements and paperwork are ours to chase, not yours.
Towing if you need it
Not drivable? Call and we'll arrange to get it to the shop.
Rental coordination
If your policy covers a rental, we'll get it lined up for the drop-off.
You pay the deductible
The carrier settles the rest with us directly in most claims.

Send the damage photos now
Two clear pictures are enough to get a written price back the same business day.
What customers say
Drivers we've got back on the road.

“I have never met a more professional, attentive and caring team. Javier worked on my car and made sure it was in perfect condition before I left. He explained what was happening with my car so I felt confident in his work. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Great service! I always take my car for repairs to Jorge. He is super knowledgeable and has fair prices. I highly recommend this place.”
