Where to Go After an ICBC Accident

Step 1: Report Your Accident

  • Call ICBC: 604-520-8222 (or online at icbc.com)
  • Get your claim number (usually takes 3 days minimum)
  • Collect other party's information and take photos if safe to do so

Step 2: Choose Your ICBC Repair Shop

You have the right to choose any ICBC accredited repair shop – you're not required to use your insurance company's recommendation. Here's what to look for:

ICBC C.A.R. Shop Valet accreditation (highest level)
I-CAR certified technicians
Lifetime warranty on repairs
Courtesy cars and pickup/delivery service
Local reputation and family-owned values

Step 3: Contact Your Chosen Shop

Once you have your ICBC claim number, contact your preferred repair shop. They can handle everything from there – no need to visit an ICBC claim center.

Why Location Doesn't Matter as Much as You Think

"ICBC Repair Shop Near Me" vs. "Best ICBC Repair Shop for Me"

Many customers think they need the closest shop, but here's what really matters:

🚗 Free Pickup & Delivery – We come to you anywhere in Greater Vancouver
🚗 Courtesy Cars – Clean, reliable vehicles while yours is being repaired
🚗 Quality Over Convenience – Better repairs mean you won't be back
🚗 Lifetime Warranty – Peace of mind no matter where you live

Distance becomes irrelevant when the shop handles transportation for you.
