Can I Drive My Car After an Accident if It's Still Running?

If your car is still running after an accident, it's natural to wonder if you can drive it. However, just because the engine is running doesn't mean it's safe to drive. At Auto Body of Los Angeles, we always recommend having your car inspected by a professional before deciding whether it's safe to operate.

Risks of Driving a Car After an Accident

• Hidden Damage: Even if the car seems to be running fine, there could be hidden structural or mechanical damage that affects its safety and performance.
• Brake or Suspension Issues: Accident damage can compromise your vehicle's braking system or suspension, making it unsafe to drive.
• Fluid Leaks: Collisions can cause fluid leaks (oil, coolant, brake fluid) that could lead to further damage or safety risks if you continue driving.
