Surrey is one of the most densely strata-developed areas in Metro Vancouver, with thousands of townhouse complexes, commercial strips, and industrial yards across Newton, Whalley, Cloverdale, Fleetwood, and South Surrey. When a vehicle hits a garage or building in Surrey, CCGDS responds 24/7.
Emergency Response in Surrey
The King George Boulevard and 104th Avenue commercial corridors, along with industrial areas near the Patullo Bridge and Scott Road, see frequent vehicle impacts on buildings and garage doors. We board up or temporarily secure any damaged opening, document all damage with photos and written measurements, and provide an estimate the same day, formatted for ICBC adjusters from the start.
Call (604) 206-5727 — available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
What We Repair After a Crash or Fire in Surrey
Surrey’s mix of older commercial buildings and high-density strata complexes means collision damage varies widely, from a bent townhouse garage door to a full commercial bay door and header impact at a Newton industrial unit. We handle:
- Residential and commercial door replacement: sectional, rolling steel, and fire-rated doors
- Full system inspection: track, spring, cable, and operator assessed before reinstalling anything
- Structural header and framing coordination: we manage a licensed structural contractor for the framing work so you deal with one team, not three
- Strata townhouse and parkade repairs: experienced working with strata councils and property managers
- Commercial storefront and bay door replacement across Surrey’s commercial strips
See the full scope on the Metro Vancouver vehicle impact repair hub and our structural header repair page.
ICBC Claims in Surrey: What You Need to Know
If another motorist caused the damage, ICBC covers the repair as a third-party property claim. The catch is that ICBC pays actual cash value with depreciation, not what it costs to replace materials in 2026. On a five-year-old garage door or a commercial steel door, the depreciation gap can be $2,000 to $5,000 or more.
We build detailed, component-level estimates that put the depreciation gap in writing before you accept any settlement. Surrey strata complexes have an additional layer — the strata deductible may apply depending on how the claim is routed. Our ICBC property damage guide explains this in plain language, or call us and we’ll walk you through it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does ICBC cover vehicle impact damage to a strata building in Surrey?
Yes, if the at-fault driver is identified and has BC Basic Autoplan coverage. The payment is based on actual cash value with depreciation applied. Strata buildings have an extra decision: depending on the deductible and the depreciated value, it may be cheaper to go through the strata’s own insurer instead.
Who do I call after a car hits a garage in Surrey?
Call (604) 206-5727 right away to secure the opening and get a written estimate. Then contact ICBC at 604-520-8222. We cover all of Surrey and can respond the same day.
How does the ICBC depreciation gap work on an older door?
ICBC calculates actual cash value by taking the replacement cost and subtracting depreciation for age and condition. On a five-year-old commercial door, that can mean ICBC pays significantly less than what a new door costs today. A detailed, line-item estimate is the best way to minimize that gap.
Do you work with strata councils and property managers?
We do it regularly. We’re experienced with strata insurance contexts, produce estimates in the format strata insurers need, and can clearly separate the door and operator scope from structural framing, which sometimes matters for which policy or deductible applies.
How long does an ICBC vehicle impact claim take in BC?
Adjuster assignment typically happens within a few business days of filing. Settlement negotiation can take one to three weeks, depending on how well-documented the claim is. We prepare adjuster-ready estimates from the first visit, which tends to shorten the back-and-forth considerably.
