Seven important tips if you are involved in an accident

Everyone loves a good ride and does their best to drive responsibly and defensively. But there can be a time when one may get involved in an accident. We would like to suggest you take a few steps that can make all the difference for you, your family or friends who are involved in an accident and need help. City Chevrolet, your local Chevy car dealer in Charlotte, NC is happy to provide you with some tips to tackle post-accident negotiations. Here are some steps to be taken in the event of an accident that will help you resolve the incident without the possibility of future repercussions and provide you with a smooth insurance and repair process.

1. Be prepared


Make sure you have your insurance information -- name of provider, policy number and phone number and keep in both your wallet and your glove compartment. It is recommended to always carry a disposable camera or use your Camera phone. Also have a pen and paper in your car at all times.

2. Check for injuries

Before you even look at the damage done to your car, check yourself, co-passengers, and the individual(s) in the other vehicle for injuries. If there are injuries that need medical attention, call 911.

3. Call the Police


Experts advise that in any accident you should call the police. Even if the other person says, “I'll take care of you; I've got a brother-in-law with a body shop that can fix your car”, you still want to call. A police report will provide an official record of the accident. If you're on an interstate highway, call county or state law enforcement. Be sure you get the police report.

4. Gather information

Be sure to get the name, contact information, and insurance information of the other driver. Take photos of surrounding area, traffic signs, lane markings and the damage to vehicles involved. Also write down the details of the accident.

5. Don't admit guilt


Even if the accident was your fault, simply collect contact information from the other drivers and do not confess to anything until you speak with your insurance company.

6. Call insurance company

Contact your insurance provider about the accident and provide all details regarding it. City Chevrolet can also work with ANY insurance claim. See the insurance claim providers City Chevrolet works with.

7. Keep track of repairs


You don't have to leave it all to your insurance company. Request that your vehicle be taken to City Chevrolet Collision Center for the repairs. Make sure you have the right to have original manufacturer parts put in. See more information about our Collision Center on our website.

City Chevrolet Employee Exceeds Goal in MS Walk

Internet sales manager, Melissa Holt, exceeded her goal in raising funds to help the Multiple Sclerosis Society find a cure for the disease. Melissa, along with her sister and mother were determined to raise $500 for the local Walk Against MS that was held on May 15th at SouthPark. The ladies succeeded and surpassed the goal, raising a whopping $585!
"I would like to say ‘thank you’ to everyone who donated to the cause, I greatly appreciate it," said Melissa. “Hopefully, we will one day find a cure for MS, because the number of people living with MS increases every hour of every day.”

MS research has made some incredible advances recently, but the world can still only offer disease management drugs and therapies to the 400,000 people living with MS in America.

Melissa took part in the march because a family member has been diagnosed with MS, points out that the National Mutliple Sclerosis Society funds more MS research than any other private organization. In addition to supporting studies which hope to reveal the cause and course of the disease, the Society also provides much needed education, programs, and services to everyone who is affected by MS.

City Chevrolet & Habitat for Humanity

A dozen of City Chevrolet employees decided to give back to the Charlotte Community last month in a very generous way! City Chevrolet partnered with Habitat for Humanity to repair the roof for an elderly West Charlotte lady. Twelve employees donated their time on March 4th and 5th to strip worn shingles, replace rotten wood, and re-shingle the steep 7/12 pitch roof of a 75-year old home.

Habitat for Humanity’s Critical Home Repair serves economically disadvantaged homeowners by providing urgent major repairs to prevent homeowners from being displaced and to protect Charlotte’s affordable housing. In the first year alone, Habitat for Humanity’s Critical Home Repair served 12 families and corrected over 500 major code violations. While City Chevrolet employees repaired the roof, other employees from other businesses and organizations helped repair other portions of the home.

The project was organized by salesperson, Adrian Drayton who described it as “an effort to build good will and give something back to the community that has supported City Chevrolet for 75 years.” Taking part in the project were Larry Parker (sales), Tim Dobbins (sales), Marcus Arnette (service), Donnie Bell (body shop), Jack Umlauf (sales), John Donne (fleet), Jimmy Poole (service), Andrew Smith (service), Larry McCain (sales), Travis Menear (fleet), and James Potter (sales). For those that didn’t feel comfortable scaling the steep roof helped below as part of the clean-up crew.

We would like to thank all the City employees that helped out and a big “Thanks” to Habitat for Humanity for providing a program that truly improves the lives of others in a very special way!
