Can I Drive My Car After an Accident Before It's Repaired?

At Auto Body of Los Angeles, we recommend having your car assessed by our experts before deciding whether it's safe to drive.
Potential Risks of Driving After an Accident
- Structural Damage: If your car's frame is damaged, it could compromise the safety of the vehicle, affecting its handling and stability.
- Fluid Leaks: Accidents can cause fluid leaks (oil, coolant, brake fluid), which could lead to further damage or a dangerous situation on the road.
