The Saskatchewan Statute of Limitations requires that repairs be completed within 2 years of the incident. However, SGI recommends reporting your claim as soon as possible to avoid any possible disputes over the extent of damage caused at the time of loss.

Get a damage estimate

After submitting your claim, you need to have the damage assessed by an appraiser who will closely examine the damage and then prepare a damage/repair estimate.

The damage estimate may be completed by either an:

  • Accredited Repair Shop (if eligible)

    • Have the damage estimate completed at the same shop that repairs your vehicle, saving you time.

    • Your SGI adjuster will tell you if you’re eligible when you report your claim.

    • Only Elite and Select accredited repair shops offer damage estimates.

  • SGI Claims Center

    • Have the damage estimate completed at the SGI claims center most convenient for you.

Once the appraisal (damage estimate) is done, you’ll receive a printout with the cost of repairs for your vehicle. You'll need this estimate and your claims adjuster will need to confirm your insurance coverage before you can have the vehicle repaired.

Have your vehicle repaired

Repairs must be completed within 2 years from the date of loss. It's a good idea to complete repairs as soon as possible to avoid any deterioration or further damage to the vehicle especially those that may affect its safe operation. Damage to headlights, tail lights, tires, wheels, etc., should be repaired as soon as possible.
