START WITH YOUR AGENT Quick Answer Open a comprehensive claim online, with your agent, or through the Farmers Claims Center at 1-800-435-7764, using October 20, 2026 for the East Valley or October 21 for north Phoenix and Glendale. Farmers may offer its Circle of Dependability network, whose shops guarantee their work for as long as you own the car. It’s optional: Arizona law (A.R.S. § 20-468) lets you choose any shop. Treat a Photo Estimate as an opening number, since hail dents hide from a camera. Qualifying Farmers hail claims at DG Collision Center’s Phoenix shop are $0 out of pocket: Farmers pays the repair, we cover the first $1,000 of your deductible, and you drive a free loaner. By [Shah Jiwani](https://dgcollision.com/about/shah-jiwani/) · Owner, DG Collision Center Updated November 4, 2026 3 min read I-CAR Gold Class · PPG Certified The Longer Answer ## YOUR AGENT, YOUR ADJUSTER, YOUR SHOP Three different people. Your Farmers agent sold you the policy and can be a real ally, especially if a claim goes quiet. The claims team writes the number. The shop does the repair and documents what the number missed. It helps to know who to ask for what. A good first call to your agent: "Is my claim assigned, and who’s the adjuster?" What’s on your card may not say Farmers. Farmers Group policies in Arizona can be written by companies with other names, such as Farmers Insurance Company of Arizona or Economy Premier Assurance Company. It’s worth checking your declarations page so the claim reaches the right place. The network and the guarantee. Circle of Dependability work is guaranteed at those shops. At ours, you get our written lifetime warranty on everything except mechanical, so ask yourself whose promise you want and who you can reach to use it. ## FROM THE PHOTO ESTIMATE TO THE REAL COUNT A phone photo flattens shallow dents. Under PDR lights, we mark and count each one by panel and send your adjuster a supplement with photos. Arizona’s rule, A.A.C. R20-6-801(H)(5), says an insurer’s estimate should be an amount that can reasonably be expected to do the job, and that you get a copy. On qualifying Farmers claims from these storms, the first $1,000 of your deductible is covered; if yours is higher, the balance is case by case, and we do our best. One of our 30+ Phoenix loaners is yours during the repair, billed to Farmers only if your policy carries rental coverage.

Arizona law, A.R.S. 20-468, gives you the right to choose any repair facility. **Q: Should I call my Farmers agent or the claims line?** A: Either can start a claim. Agents are especially useful for finding out who your adjuster is and for nudging a file that has gone quiet. **Q: My policy doesn’t say Farmers. Is that a problem?** A: Probably not. Farmers Group policies can be written under other company names. Your declarations page shows which one, and your agent can confirm it. **Q: Is a Farmers Photo Estimate final?** A: No. It covers what the photos showed. When a count under PDR lights finds more, the shop sends a supplement with photos.
