Frequently Asked Questions About Collision Repair Near You
Scarborough Insurance & Rights
Does Simplicity Car Care Scarborough do direct insurance billing?
Yes. We handle your insurance claim directly so you don’t have to act as a go-between. Once you bring your vehicle in, we communicate with your insurer, coordinate approvals, and submit all documentation on your behalf. You simply pay your deductible — we manage the rest. We are recognized by all major Ontario insurance providers.
Will my insurance rates go up if I make a collision repair claim?
This depends on your policy and fault determination. In Ontario, a not-at-fault accident generally does not increase your premiums, but this varies by insurer and your specific policy terms. We recommend speaking directly with your insurance broker before filing a claim for minor damage. For major collision damage, making a claim is almost always in your financial interest regardless of fault. We can help you understand what your repair estimate includes before you decide.
What does "OEM parts" mean, and will my insurance cover them?
OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer — parts made by your vehicle’s manufacturer to factory specification. Insurance policies in Ontario typically allow insurers to use “like kind and quality” parts, which can mean used or aftermarket alternatives. However, you can request OEM parts, particularly if your vehicle is newer or under manufacturer warranty. We will document your request and advocate with your insurer on your behalf. Vehicles under one year old are generally entitled to OEM parts as standard.
What if my insurance estimate is lower than the actual repair cost?
This is called a “supplement” and it happens regularly — especially when hidden damage is found during disassembly. We submit supplement requests directly to your insurer with photos and documentation explaining the additional work required. Insurers are legally obligated to cover all necessary repairs to restore your vehicle to its pre-accident condition. You will never be asked to pay out of pocket for costs that are legitimately covered under your policy.
Scarborough Services & Capabilities
What is ADAS calibration and do I need it after a collision?
ADAS stands for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems — the cameras, radar sensors, and lane-keeping systems built into most vehicles made since 2018. After any collision involving the front bumper, hood, windshield, or body panels near sensors, these systems must be recalibrated to manufacturer specification. Without recalibration, your automatic emergency braking, lane departure warnings, and adaptive cruise control may give false readings or fail entirely — creating a safety risk. We perform ADAS calibration as a standard part of every relevant repair and include it in your insurance estimate.
Can you repair my electric or hybrid vehicle after a collision?
Yes. We repair all makes and models including battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and plug-in hybrids. EV collision repair involves additional considerations — high-voltage system safety protocols, battery assessment for thermal damage, and a higher number of ADAS calibrations per repair compared to conventional vehicles. If you drive a Tesla, Hyundai Ioniq, Kia EV, Ford F-150 Lightning, or any other EV, please mention this when you call so we can confirm the appropriate equipment and certifications for your specific vehicle.
Do you offer paintless dent repair? (PDR)
Yes. Paintless dent repair is available at our Scarborough location and is often the fastest, most cost-effective solution for minor dents — no sanding, no filler, no repainting. PDR works best on dents where the paint surface is undamaged, such as parking lot door dings, minor hail damage, and small panel dents. Bring your vehicle in for a free assessment and we’ll confirm whether PDR is suitable for your specific damage or whether traditional repair is needed.
Can you fix hail damage on my car?
Yes. Hail damage is one of our most common services, especially following GTA storm seasons. Most hail damage can be repaired using paintless dent repair (PDR), which restores your vehicle without repainting — preserving the factory finish and protecting resale value. For more severe hail damage where the paint surface is cracked or broken, we also offer traditional panel repair and repainting. Hail damage is typically covered under comprehensive insurance — we can confirm this with your insurer before any work begins.
Do you repair windshields and auot glass?
Yes. We offer windshield repair, full windshield replacement, side window repair, and rear window replacement for all vehicle makes and models. Glass work is often covered under your comprehensive insurance policy with no deductible depending on your coverage. Windshield replacement on modern vehicles also requires ADAS recalibration if a forward-facing camera is mounted to the glass — we include this as part of the replacement service.
Do you offer frame straightening for major collision damage?
Yes. Frame and unibody structural repair requires specialized equipment and certified technicians — our Scarborough facility is equipped for full structural realignment. Frame damage left uncorrected affects your vehicle’s handling, safety systems, and long-term structural integrity. We use computerized measuring systems to restore your vehicle to manufacturer specifications and document all measurements for your insurance file. Every structural repair is covered under our national lifetime warranty.
Scarborough After an Accident – What to Do
What should I do immediately after a collision in Scarborough
Stay calm and follow these steps:
1. Check for injuries — call 911 if anyone is hurt.
2. Move to safety — if the vehicle is driveable and it’s safe to do so, move it out of traffic.
3. Call police — in Ontario, you must report any collision causing injury or damage over $2,000 to police. For minor damage, you can self-report at a Collision Reporting Centre.
4. Exchange information — name, address, insurance provider, and policy number from all parties involved.
5. Document the scene — photograph all vehicles, damage, and the surrounding area.
6. Notify your insurer — report the claim as soon as possible.
7. Call us — contact Simplicity Car Care Scarborough at 416-755-7651. You have the right to choose us as your repair shop regardless of who your insurer recommends.
My car isn't drivable after an accident - what to do?
If your vehicle cannot be safely driven, do not attempt to drive it — structural or suspension damage that isn’t visible can cause loss of control. Call our towing line at 1-800-871-7612 and we will arrange transport directly to our Scarborough facility. While you wait, notify your insurance company of the accident and tell them you’ve chosen Simplicity Car Care Scarborough as your repair shop. Your insurer is legally required to honour your shop choice.
How quickly can I bring my car in after an accident?
As soon as it is safe to do so — the sooner the better. Prompt repair prevents secondary damage: exposed metal rusts, compromised seals let in water, and damaged structural components can worsen under normal driving stress. You do not need to wait for your insurance company’s approval before bringing your vehicle in for an estimate. Walk in Monday to Friday, 8am–5pm, or call 416-755-7651 to let us know you’re coming. We’ll get the process started immediately.

Estimates are free and typically completed during your visit so you leave with written documentation of all damage and projected costs.
Will you keep me updated while my car is being repaired?
Yes. We send automatic email updates at every key stage of your repair — when parts arrive, when body work begins, when paint is applied, and when your vehicle is ready for pickup. You can also call us at any time at 416-755-7651 to speak with our team directly. We believe transparency throughout the process is non-negotiable.
Is my repair covered by warranty?
Yes. All repairs completed at Simplicity Car Care Scarborough are backed by a national lifetime warranty for as long as you own the vehicle. This covers workmanship on body repairs, paint matching, and structural work.

Recommend using Simplicity at 40 Midwest Road. Great experience for me personally.
When I raised the concern, the shop told me to contact my insurance company instead of helping to resolve it. I understand that parts may come through insurance approval, but as the repairer, I expected them to stand behind the quality of the parts they installed, especially for something as important to safety as headlights.
Because of this, I can’t give a positive recommendation. If you need basic repairs, they may do fine, but be cautious about the quality of parts used, as you may face issues down the road with little support.
The shop coordinated everything—from arranging a rental vehicle through Enterprise to keeping our car on-site while we determined whether it would be repaired or written off.
In the end, the vehicle was declared a total loss, but what stood out was the thorough and transparent assessment, as well as how hassle-free the entire process was. For someone who has never been in a collision before, the experience was seamless. I would highly recommend Simplicity for their professionalism and end-to-end service.
5 STAR SERVICE! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Upfront pricing, friendly service and extra care.
Manager Mike is rude
My repair was about the bumper and headlight. But when I got my car, it is clean and easier to steer. I would like them to do the same thing to my other car.
Paint job still in the interior trim around the door
Doors was not aligned with each other.
Window still makes noise on the highway after they didn’t want to do anything about it.
The entire driver door not closing properly and rattles from the inside
Will never ever go back there again
Very disappointed worst experience
UPDATE: I got into an accident a couple months ago and it wrecked my beloved car's front bumper. The guys at Simplicity did an amazing job and again, they got it looking good as new! All the minor issues I had noticed after the repairs were addressed and dealt with promptly. Another five stars from me! Choose them with total confidence!
