Steps to Make a Claim and the Direct Repair Process

Step 1: If you have been in a collision your first step is to ensure the safety of yourself and any others who may have been involved. When it is safe to do so, move your vehicles out of the flow of traffic and exchange information with any other drivers involved. MPI provides an excellent outline for what information you should collect.
Step 2: Report the collision as promptly as possible to MPI (in Winnipeg - 204-985-7000, outside Winnipeg Toll-free 1-800-665-2410). An MPI representative will take a preliminary report from you and advise you should the collision require a police report and if your claim qualifies for direct estimate and repair. MPI CALL CENTRE HOURS: Monday - Friday 7:30 AM - 7:00 PM Saturday 8:30 AM - 4:00 PM
Step 3: If your claim qualifies for direct repair you can then call (204-631-5717) or complete the Jim Gauthier Chevrolet Collision Centre MPI direct repair form and set up an appointment for a damage estimate.
Step 4: Attend your appointment, when the estimate is completed one of our advisors will go over the estimate with you and submit it to MPI. Once we get MPI approval on our estimate we can immediately order any necessary parts to complete repairs on your vehicle.
Step 5: When your parts arrive we will give you a call in order to book a repair appointment that suits your schedule. We will confirm shuttle service or courtesy car transportation needs at this time.
Step 6: Drop off your vehicle for the completion of repairs. Your service advisor will stay in regular contact with you to ensure you are kept up to date on your vehicle's repair and advise you of when your vehicle is cleaned and ready to go.
