Repair Shop of Your Choice
You may also choose from the many repair shop options in your own area (Find a Repair Facility). If you prefer not to use or are not eligible to use Erie Insurance’s Direct Repair Program, you have the option of using the auto repair shop of your choice once your vehicle has been inspected and your estimate has been approved.
Field Inspection
If your vehicle is not safe to drive, and you do not wish to use ERIE’s Drive-In Claim Center or a DRP shop options, or your claim is not suitable to handle in a drive-in or DRP shop, a claims representative will come to your vehicle’s location to inspect and estimate the damages to the vehicle.
Drive-In Claim Service
Another option in some areas is Erie Insurance’s Drive-In Claim Centers, which are staffed by Erie Insurance claims representatives who are trained to inspect your car and prepare auto repair estimates. While auto inspections are made by appointment only, the process usually takes about 30 minutes or less. If your car is safe to drive, you may be able to schedule a vehicle inspection at one of our convenient locations.
Paintless Dent Repair
Appropriate for small dents and almost all hail damage where the paint is not damaged, paintless dent repair is a great option. With this method, you can retain your vehicle's original factory finish and warranty. Minor auto repairs, such as a door ding, can take anywhere from 20 minutes to half a day. Some auto repairs can be handled by a mobile unit at your home or business. If needed, Erie Insurance claims adjusters can recommend auto repairers who specialize in paintless dent repair.
Auto Glass Repair
In order to determine whether your car is a total loss, an Erie Insurance claims representative will have to inspect the vehicle. If the vehicle cannot or is not to be repaired after that inspection, we will settle your auto insurance claim on a total loss basis.
If you need to replace your car, use this VIN look-up tool to make sure the car you’re thinking about buying wasn’t reported stolen or totaled following an accident.
