Common questions
Don’t see yours? Call any location and we’ll walk you through it.
No. In Utah, you choose where your car is repaired. When an adjuster suggests a shop, it’s usually one in that insurer’s Direct Repair Program (DRP), which is a pricing agreement between the insurance company and the shop. It doesn’t change what your policy covers.
Young Collision Center is a DRP partner for many insurers and works with all of them, so choosing us won’t slow down your claim. We’ve been part of this community for 102 years.
It means the company that built your car has trained and approved our technicians to repair it. We follow the manufacturer’s own repair instructions, so the frame, crumple zones, and airbags protect you the way they were designed to.
We’re also I-CAR Gold Class certified, a level reached by about 1 in 5 collision shops nationwide.
Your backup camera, blind-spot warning, lane-departure alert, and automatic braking all depend on cameras and sensors in your bumpers, mirrors, and windshield. Even a small accident or a bumper replacement can knock them slightly out of position, and then they may not work correctly.
Calibration resets them to the manufacturer’s exact settings. When your car needs it, it’s a standard part of our repair, not an extra.
You can finance it. Through Mountain America Credit Union, you can pay your deductible in monthly payments instead of all at once. Plenty of our customers choose this.
We can’t waive deductibles, but if you have an active vehicle service contract, you may get a deductible credit of up to $1,000.
Ask about financing when you get your estimate, or see how financing works. Financing is subject to credit approval.
