Number 7 Repair Centre in Vaughan, ON, installs dashcams for free for all insurance customers. Here is why every driver needs a dashcam, how it saves you from at-fault accidents and deductibles, and real stories from our customers.
Why We Install Dashcams for Free
Here at Number 7 Repair Centre, we have spent over 50 years restoring vehicles to their original safety and performance.
That is why, for all our insurance customers, we install dashcams for free.
We are not just fixing cars. We are helping you protect a valuable asset: your vehicle. Bring us any dashcam (yours or a new one), and we will professionally hardwire it at no charge when you are an insurance customer.
In this post, we explain:
Why a dashcam is an essential asset protection tool
How it helps you avoid at-fault accidents
How it saves you money on deductibles
Why professional installation matters
A Dashcam Is an Asset Protection Tool for Your Vehicle
Think of your car as more than transportation. It is a valuable asset worth thousands of dollars. Every at-fault accident, every disputed fender bender, and every "he said, she said" scenario puts that asset at risk.
A dashcam acts as a silent witness. But a dashcam only protects you if it is installed correctly hidden wires, steady placement, and parking mode enabled. That is where Number 7 Repair Centre comes in.
Key takeaway: Real asset protection is not just about fixing damage. It is about proving you did not cause it.
When you protect your driving record, you protect:
Your car's resale value
Your insurance rates
Your financial future
Why Avoiding an At-Fault Accident Is Critical in Ontario
In Ontario, an at-fault accident can stay on your insurance record for six years or more. The results are expensive:
Your premiums can jump 30% to 50% or even double
You lose "claims-free" discounts
Some insurers may refuse to renew your policy
Your vehicle's Carfax report shows an at-fault claim, lowering resale value
At Number 7 Repair Centre, we see the aftermath every day: a customer who was sure they were not at fault but had no proof. Without dashcam footage, even a minor collision can become a costly, years-long mistake.
Local context: Vaughan and Woodbridge drivers face congested roads including Hwy 7, Weston Road, Hwy 400, and Hwy 427. More traffic means more disputes. A dashcam protects you.
Save on Deductibles with Dashcam Evidence
Your insurance deductible—usually $500,$1,000, or more—is your out-of-pocket cost when you file a claim. If you are not at fault, the other driver's insurance should cover your deductible.
Here is the problem: Without evidence, the other driver might lie. They might claim you ran a red light or merged into them.
How a dashcam helps: With dashcam footage, your insurer can quickly subrogate (recover costs from the at-fault driver's insurance). You get your deductible back. Without footage, you might pay your full deductible for damage you did not cause.
Cost comparison: A dashcam typically costs $50–$150. That is far less than one deductible payment. After one saved claim, it pays for itself many times over. And Number 7 Repair Centre installs it for free.
Everything Documented – The End of "He Said, She Said"
Our customers are often stressed after a crash. Memories blur. Witnesses disappear. Police reports can be incomplete.
A dashcam solves this permanently. It documents:
Exactly what happened before, during, and after the crash
License plates, road conditions, and traffic signals
The other driver's behavior (e.g., running a stop sign, using a phone)
Fraudulent attempts like "crash for cash" scams
Your version of events becomes indisputable video proof. For us at Number 7 Repair Centre, that means we can process insurance claims faster and get your car repaired without legal back-and-forth.
Why Every Vehicle Needs a Dashcam – Our Strong Recommendation
We do not just recommend dashcams for new cars or luxury vehicles. Every driver needs one.
Vehicle Type | Why a Dashcam Matters |
Your daily commuter | Heavy traffic in Vaughan and the GTA means high risk of rear-ends and lane-change disputes |
Your teen driver | Helps them learn responsibility and protects them from false claims |
Your classic or weekend car | Proving you were not at fault protects your restoration investment |
Your work truck | Commercial insurance policies are even stricter about fault determination |
Bottom line: A dashcam is like a seatbelt for your legal and financial safety. You hope you never need it. But if you do, it is priceless.
Examples – How Dashcams Can Help
We have seen dashcam footage save our customers thousands of dollars. Here are two examples.
Case #1 – The Red Light Runner at Hwy 7 and Weston Road
The situation: Maria was stopped at a red light at Hwy 7 and Weston Road. The light turned green, she entered the intersection, and another car ran the red—T-boning her driver's side.
The problem: The other driver told police Maria had run the red light.
The dashcam evidence: Maria's dashcam showed the truth. The other driver's light had been red for a full four seconds before Maria entered the intersection.
The result: Maria was 0% at fault. Her deductible was waived. Her insurance rates did not change. The video was sent directly to the other driver's insurer.
Case #2 – Parking Lot Hit-and-Run in Vaughan
The situation: David's parked car was hit at a Vaughan grocery store. The other driver left a note—but with a fake name and phone number.
The dashcam evidence: David's dashcam was equipped with parking mode and professionally hardwired. It recorded the entire incident, including the license plate and the driver's face.
The result: Police identified the driver using the footage. The at-fault driver's insurance paid for all repairs at Number 7 Repair Centre. David paid $0 out of pocket.
