Two ways to get back to your day
Pay out of pocket or use insurance?
You deserve a repair plan that makes sense for the damage and your budget. Your Colorworks Express advisor explains the repair and helps you compare your options. Your insurer confirms coverage and any premium impact.
Option 1 · Express repairs
I want to pay for my repair
For suitable repairs, pay the shop directly. This option can help when you have no applicable coverage or choose to pay privately.
- Get a written estimate and approve the work.
- Compare the total with your deductible.
- Consider cosmetic repairs that may not justify a claim.
- Ask about combining several small repairs in one visit.
Option 2 · Insurance repairs
I want help with an insurance repair
Insurance may be the better route for substantial collision damage, possible hidden damage or a crash where you were not responsible.
- Confirm coverage and your deductible with the insurer.
- Have the vehicle assessed at a suitable repair facility.
- Ask ICBC about responsibility and premium effects.
- Explore ICBC Valet and eligible vehicle arrangements.
Not sure which way to go? Request a repair estimate and discuss your options with your Colorworks Express advisor. If anyone is injured, another vehicle or property is involved, or the vehicle may be unsafe, contact your insurer promptly and follow reporting requirements. Paying for your own repairs does not settle someone else’s claim.

Express repairs & insurance questions
Can I pay for auto body repairs without using insurance?
Yes. You can pay Colorworks directly for an assessed and approved repair. A private repair estimate is useful for comparing minor damage with your deductible and the potential cost of a claim. Your Colorworks Express advisor helps compare repair options; your insurer confirms how the incident affects your policy.
How long do Express auto body repairs take?
Some suitable minor repairs can be completed in 1–3 days. Our Colorworks Team confirms the method and expected timing after assessing your vehicle. Parts, hidden damage and the shop schedule can change the timeline.
Does paying privately include vehicle concierge?
Vehicle concierge is available only through the ICBC Valet service. For a private-pay Express repair, contact the shop about appointments and any other arrangements available.
Should I delay reporting a crash while I compare repair costs?
Do not delay required reporting or necessary care to obtain an estimate. Contact ICBC or your insurer about reporting and policy requirements, especially if anyone is injured or another vehicle or property is involved. Paying for your own repair does not settle another party’s claim.
Can Colorworks repair my vehicle if I do not have Collision coverage?
Yes. Ask your Colorworks Express advisor for a private repair estimate. Without Collision coverage from ICBC or another insurer, you may need to pay for your own vehicle repairs after an at-fault or single-vehicle crash. If another driver was responsible, Basic Vehicle Damage coverage may still apply. Your insurer confirms coverage.
