Report a Claim

File a claim with your insurance. Nice and Easy Collision Center is a GEICO Auto Repair Xpress shop so your claim is fast and easy with the GEICO mobile app or on geico.com/claims. 

If eligible, you can schedule a damage inspection, repair, and rental.

It’s important to report your claim as soon as possible for a number of reasons. For example, accidents require a more detailed investigation. It’s also better to investigate quickly after the accident so that everyone remembers the details.
