Wheels

Strong and light, the standard 19-inch forged alloy wheels were engineered to extract every ounce of the 911 Turbo’s thrilling performance potential. Their new design features a two-tone finish that further distinguishes the Turbo from other 911 models: The sides of each spoke are painted in a titanium tone, while the entire front surface, including [...]

What do I do If I Disagree with the Repairs you’ve Allowed?

Our Estimator has allowed for repair methods that meet industry standards. But if you think the repairs we’ve allowed are not adequate, you’ve got several options. First, ask to have the Estimating Supervisor at the Claim Centre look at the damage. If that doesn’t help, take your vehicle to the repair shop of your choice [...]

Can I do the Repairs Myself?

Yes. But we’ll pay you less for your labor than we would a body shop. That’s because body shops have overhead costs and specialized expertise that most individuals  don’t have. If you still choose to do the repairs yourself, we’ll want to inspect your vehicle to make sure the repairs are done properly. Wpg Auto [...]

I prefer cash instead of getting my car fixed. Will you just pay me for my damage?

We don’t pay cash for damage for a couple of reasons. The first is safety – we want vehicles returned to the road in safe operating condition.

The body shop operator can tell you if that shop has our accreditation. Or, we can give you a list of shops accredited [...]

Why won’t you pay for a complete paint job on my older car?

The partial painting you’ve allowed may not match the rest of my paint. This gets back to the principle of depreciation. Your Autopac insurance covers accidental damage. It doesn’t cover how much something might be worn out or faded. You’ll find though, that most body shops can match your paint pretty closely, even on an [...]

How much depreciation might I have to pay?

It depends on the age, condition and the type of part. Here are two examples of depreciation guidelines that our estimators use: Convertible tops – 16-20% depreciation per year depending on condition. Exhaust parts – 20% depreciation per year.

What is depreciation and why do I have to pay it?

Automobile insurers try to match what they give you to the value of what you actually lost. For instance, equal value for a half worn-out tire is a tire with similar wear – not a brand new one. But it may not be practical, or even safe, to give you a half worn-out tire. Instead, [...]

I still prefer new parts. Can I have them put on my vehicle instead?

Yes, you can. But you’ll have to pay the difference between the cost of the recycled part and the new part.
