Move both cars to safety if drivable. Call Canton police non-emergency at (330) 489-3144 — Ohio Revised Code requires a police report for damage over $400. Photograph the damage, the plates, both drivers' licenses, and the road. Exchange insurance info. Do not admit fault and do not agree to settle out of pocket at the scene.

Ohio law gives you the right to use the shop of your choice. Insurance "direct repair program" shops are faster because the estimating process is pre-approved, but they're sometimes pushed toward aftermarket parts. Your independent shop might be slower but give you better OEM parts. The trade-off is yours, not the insurance adjuster's.

Look for I-CAR Gold Class certification — the industry training standard for collision repair. OEM-specific certifications (Honda, Toyota, Subaru, Tesla) matter for cars with calibrated safety systems. Every reputable Navarre body shop offers a lifetime warranty on workmanship. Ask whether they bill insurance directly so you only pay the deductible.

Aftermarket cosmetic parts (bumpers, fenders) save 20 to 40 percent and are usually fine. Insist on OEM for anything safety-critical (airbag sensors, crash bars, frame components) and for anything with electronics built in (adaptive headlights, parking-sensor bumpers). Your policy may limit OEM coverage — read it before the claim, not during.
