​​The myChevrolet App Can Guide You After a Collision​ 

2026 Chevrolet vehicles have many advanced available features to help you avoid a collision, including Forward Collision Alert, Automatic Emergency Braking, Blind Zone Alert, and more. But did you know that Chevrolet also provides assistance after a collision occurs? Except this isn’t in your car. It’s in your MyChevrolet smartphone app. This Michel Hohl Chevrolet post tells you all about it. 

Most of us are not at our best right after an accident. Assuming you are unharmed, you are likely in a bit of shock, or your mind may be racing a mile a minute as you wonder how the accident happened, or how you’re going to get home or to work, and so on. Figuring out what, exactly, needs to happen next may not immediately come to mind, especially to drivers who’ve never encountered a situation like this before. 

Luckily, the GM Collision Assistance experience feature in the myChevrolet app (and MyGMC, myBuick, and my Cadillac apps) can give you a step-by-step rundown on what to do. You might have run across it in the app but didn’t delve deeper because, after all, the app came with getting a new car, and who wants to think about wrecking your brand-new pride and joy?

Still, it’s worth exploring when you have a free moment. The app will first advise you on collecting key details at the collision site and on using your phone’s camera to record key aspects of the cars, the location, and other details at the scene of the collision. It will remind you what information to provide and collect from any other parties involved in the incident and guide you through these steps without interrupting any ongoing emergency calls.   

The app will also guide you on working with your insurance carrier, including what documentation to have on hand and what information they will want regarding the accident.  

Finally, the app can connect you to facilities in the GM Collision Repair Network, even at a later point in time. This network includes many independent body shops, along with GM dealer facilities – all equipped with the specialized tools and proper training to ensure GM’s collision repair recommendations are properly followed, ensuring high-quality service and safe repairs. These providers also have access to GM Genuine parts and ACDelco components, which are specifically designed for GM vehicles to help maintain optimal performance and the effectiveness of safety systems over time. 

It is like having a post-accident coach right when you need one, and it’s all part of just having the myChevrolet app. Collision Assistance, along with the GM Collision Repair Network and GM Genuine and ACDelco parts, is here to support drivers every step of the way—starting from the moment of a collision all the way through to a completed repair. 

Realistically, we hope you’ll never have to employ this feature, and that you’ll be shopping for a new vehicle on your own terms and timeline, not as the result of a collision. Whenever you find yourself looking for a new vehicle, we think Chevrolet will have a model that fits your needs, and the professionals at  Michael Hohl Chevrolet can help you find the right fit from our inventory.
