10 things you should know before repairing your vehicle
- You're in charge! The insurance company and the body shop are here to assist you and meet your needs.
- You should never drive a car that could be unsafe because of damages.
- You are not required by law to get more than one estimate.
- You have the right to go to the repair shop of your choice, not the insurance company's.
- The insurance company may want you to visit their drive-in service center for an estimate. You can or you may have the insurance company inspect your car at the body shop.
- Ensure the shop has certified technicians that can restore your vehicle to pre-collision condition.
- Ask what type of parts will be used in the repair of vehicle.
- Ask the shop if it offers a repair warranty.
- Differences in repair estimates are common. A lower estimate can be the result of many things. We’d be happy to explain the differences, so please feel free to ask.
- Let us negotiate with your insurance company on your behalf.
