Do I need a claim number before contacting Baha?

No. Submit the damage and vehicle information you have. Claim details can be added when available.

Does Baha work with my insurance company?

Baha performs insurance-claim repairs and can review the insurer information. Specific insurer relationships and processes are confirmed by the service manager before anything further is stated.

Will insurance pay the full repair cost?

Coverage and payment depend on the policy, claim and insurer decision. Baha cannot guarantee the outcome.

Can Baha waive my deductible?

Deductible treatment is not promised or advertised. Deductible handling depends on the policy, insurer and shop policy.

What is a supplement?

Additional damage or repair needs discovered after the initial estimate may require further documentation and review.

Can I choose Baha for the repair?

Invite the customer to discuss Baha's repair intake with the shop and insurer. Legal-rights statements are not published until Illinois-specific wording is reviewed by qualified counsel.

How long will approval take?

Timing depends on inspection, documentation, insurer communication and the specific claim. No deadline is promised in advance.
