WeeL is proud to partner with two new body shops: 427 Auto Collision and Avenue Collision, both part of the network of CSN Collision Centres. With this partnership, our GTA WeeL members will receive specialized pricing and bookings. These two body shops are arguably the best in Toronto, and authorized to work on any make or model, along with being approved service facilities for most insurance providers.

Here are 5 easy steps to help relieve some of the stress when you’re involved in an accident.
Step 1: Always stop
If you and your vehicle are involved in a collision and do not stop, you may be subject to criminal prosecution. Stop your vehicle, stay calm and when it’s safe, exit the vehicle.
Step 2: Check for injuries
Assess the extent of injuries and when in doubt, call 911 to report the location of the collision. Caring for victims is a priority, but sometimes it may be unsafe to remove people from vehicles involved in the collision, so wait for help to arrive.
Step 3: Pull over and record damage
If it’s safe, move your vehicle to the side of the road, away from traffic. Turn on your vehicle’s hazard lights and use cones/warning triangles for safety. Assess the condition of the vehicles as best you can and take pictures of damage. If you believe the damage is less than $1000 contact your local police department for further instructions. If the collision is greater than $1000 and injuries are present, call 911.
Step 4: Exchange information and document the collision
Be sure to obtain the following information from all involved drivers:
- Names, address, contact information
- Driver’s licence numbers
- Licence plate numbers
- Contact information of registered vehicle owners
- Insurance information
If a driver fails to provide any of the requested information, it may be advisable to notify the police of the collision.
Contact information of passengers and any witnesses should also be obtained.
Step 5: Contact the professionals at CSN Collision Centres
If you need a tow truck call 1-877-700-4276 for 24/7 Towing Assistance. If you are in the GTA, tow your vehicle to Avenue Road Collision or 427 Auto Collision.
